    To my academic and critical IR friends, please: 1) do not use Ukraine to score points 2) do not reproduce hierarchies of wars and victimhood 3) if you have never experienced war, do not talk about it as a game 4) build life-lines, be considerate of those who are losing them.

    No, the U.S. has gone full American now.
    USA has gone full Balkans now.

    From Kosovo to Nagorno-Karabakh: I hope someone is watching. The war is escalating. And while little people in unpronounceable places with their intractable histories will once again be blamed for the violence, I hope at least some of you will not fall for that nonsense.

    My great grandparents were Bosnian Croats. They are buried in the Catholic cemetery in Sarajevo. My 93 year old mother just visited their century-old grave in hope to do some repairs. How do @OHR_BiH and Mr. Schmidt know that I am not a Croat?

    I look at my feed and see hundreds of former refugees who have become exceptional scholars, researchers, artists. And I look at people brutally stopped at the Greek border and think: can you afford to lose such talent, Europe? Can anyone?

    My grandfather, Sabit Hozić, a merchant from Kotor-Varoš inNW Bosnia, was a delegate at the State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (In BCS: Zemaljsko antifašističko vijeće narodnog oslobođenja Bosne i Hercegovine; ZAVNOBiH). 1/3

    This is why so many of us whose lives have been marked by the Yugoslav wars now think that one should never underestimate how quickly nationalism & political violence may turn into never-ending nightmare.
    April 5th marks the beginning of the Siege of Sarajevo, the longest siege in modern history. As a child, I vividly recall people around me believing both the siege and the war would end in "2 weeks tops." Instead, we saw 4 years of death & destruction by shelling and sniper fire.

    It's taken me 25 years to articulate a critique of the devastating gendered (and racialized) effects of ethnic-power sharing agreements & partitions, even in this time of WPS and feminist foreign policy. The focus is on Dayton/BiH but the critique extends from Belgium to Lebanon.
    New on the blog - in our latest long-read @hozic critiques the Dayton Peace Agreement & the problems associated with ethic power-sharing peace agreements where gendered political and socio-economic policies only serve to strengthen divisions. blogs.lse.ac.uk/wps/2021/02/15…

    The costs of exorcising Yugoslav wars from “European” history and often from “post-communist” studies (with their own naive, cheerleading, and amnesiac view of regime change) are now becoming so brutally, terribly obvious.
