COMPSEES 73/4 erschienen

Comparative Southeast European Studies 73, no.4, 2025, is available in open access.

Under the heading of the annual theme, The Yugoslav Wars and the Year 1995: Reflections. Resilience. Reverberations, Zlatiborka Popov-Momčinović (East Sarajevo) investigates the interconnections between the postconflict society with an ethnonationalist setup and antigender mobilisation in Bosnia-Herzegovina. 

Focusing on Serbia, Kosovo, and Albania, Nikolaos Tzifakis and Eleni Vasdoka (both Corinth) analyse how the governing elites of applicant countries have attempted to undermine the EU's binary compliance/non-compliance structure of accession negotiations.
Giovanni Parente (Dublin) examines Greece’s evolving role within the EU’s maritime security architecture from 2008 to 2025.
Mehmed Ganić (Sarajevo) analyses the relationship between digital and traditional finance-related poverty reduction in 18 countries between 2004 and 2021, including the moderating role that EU membership has held in this.

In the open section, Anna Calori (Glasgow) provides a comprehensive review Jasmila Žbanić’s film Blum: Masters of Their Own Destiny (2024), situating it within the historiography of Yugoslav socialism and the wider debates about postsocialist memory and economic imagination. 
As usual, the issue also contains four book reviews.
