A Research Guide to Southeastern Europe: Print and Electronic Sources<\/em> is designed to aid those interested in exploring this dynamic region in locating the best resources available, whether looking for archival collections in Albania or dissertations and theses in Greece. It provides readers up-to-date information on a variety of research collections from over twenty countries and in over a dozen languages. The focus of the volume is on the modern era, primarily the 18th<\/sup> century to the present, the subject areas of the humanities and social sciences, though researchers from outside of the subject and temporal scope of the work will find information of use, and the countries of Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova (including the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic), Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey. This volume is distinctive in that it is the only bibliographic resource that offers such extensive subject, linguistic, and regional treatment.<\/p>\n

This work is composed of five chapters and three appendices. The chapters are focused on research materials, giving readers access points for critical materials on Southeastern Europe both in print and digital formats from libraries, archives, journals, and databases. The appendices focus on library classification, educational programming geared to language instruction, and transliteration of non-Latin scripts.<\/p>\n

This volume provides a vast amount of information about resources useful in the study of various aspects of Southeastern Europe: history, politics, economics, culture, education, and archaeology among others. The countries included in this region include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and western Turkey. The five main chapters present libraries (135 around the world), archives (33 in Croatia and 46 in Romania are listed), journal literature (the titles of 587 publications arranged by subjects), research databases, and dissertations and theses. The introductions to these sections are simply a paragraph or two. Three appendixes follow: one explains the Library of Congress classification system, the next lists \u201cEducational Programming and Institutions,\u201d from the US and the countries of the region, predominantly for language and area studies instruction, and the final appendix provides \u201cromanization tables\u201d for several of the languages spoken in the region. This book is aimed at advanced scholars studying Southeastern Europe, and there is a great deal of information for them. Many of the resources are in foreign languages, including Greek, Romanian, Croatian, and Macedonian, while the 34-page index mainly lists those items in Romanized versions of foreign languages. Universities with programs in this area and researchers speaking these languages will find the information quite helpful.\u2014Mark Schumacher<\/strong>

This invaluable guide will help researchers navigate the difficult waters of a notoriously complex region, with geographic and thematic stopovers at libraries, archives, journals, and online research databases. We are all in debt to Claybaugh for this sisyphean labor.

Balkan Wars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Distinguished scholar James D. Tracy shows how the Ottoman advance across Europe stalled in the western Balkans, where three great powers confronted one another in three adjoining provinces: Habsburg Croatia, Ottoman Bosnia, and Venetian Dalmatia. Until about 1580, Bosnia was a platform for Ottoman expansion, and Croatia steadily lost territory, while Venice focused on protecting the Dalmatian harbors vital for its trade with the Ottoman east. But as Habsburg-Austrian elites coalesced behind military reforms, they stabilized Croatia\u2019s frontier, while Bosnia shifted its attention to trade, and Habsburg raiders crossing Dalmatia heightened tensions with Venice. The period ended with a long inconclusive war between Habsburgs and Ottomans, and a brief inconclusive war between Austria and Venice. Based on rich primary research and a masterful synthesis of key studies, this book is the first English-language history of the early modern Western Balkans. More broadly, it brings out how the Ottomans and their European rivals conducted their wars in fundamentally different ways. A sultan\u2019s commands were not negotiable, and Ottoman generals were held to a time-tested strategy for conquest. Habsburg sovereigns had to bargain with their elites, and it took elaborate processes of consultation to rally provincial estates behind common goals. In the end, government-by-consensus was able to withstand government-by-command.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
