A new publication by Noam Chomsky, edited by AUR's Professor Davor Džalto: 'Yugoslavia: Peace, War, and Dissolution'

The Balkans, in particular the turbulent ex-Yugoslav territory, have been among the most important world regions in Noam Chomsky’s political reflections and activism for decades. His articles, public talks, and correspondence have provided a critical voice on political and social issues crucial not only to the region but the entire international community, including "humanitarian intervention," the relevance of international law in today’s politics, media manipulations, and economic crisis as a means of political control.

Update: August 30, 2018. This publication has now been translated and published in Belgrade, in Serbian.
