However, with the fall of socialism near the end of the twentieth century, these discussions over what humanitarianism is, what it could be, and what it ought to be were largely forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRealigning Humanitarianism in the Balkans \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how the fall of socialism changed humanitarianism in the Balkan region, beginning with the work of the Yugoslav Red Cross within the Non-Aligned Movement in the 1970s and continuing with the work in Montenegro by local organizations in a refugee camp between 2000 and 2018. Author Čarna Brkovic traces how humanitarian regimes of care and discipline, implemented by local staff, have become the main source of support and the main channel of sociocultural integration of displaced communities in the Balkans. Within these regimes, though, structural problems generate a profound sense of disappointment for both the humanitarians and the displaced people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy tracing the shifts in humanitarianism between the West, the East, and the South, \u003ci\u003e Realigning Humanitarianism in the Balkans \u003c\/i\u003euncovers how the fall of state socialism shaped not only humanitarian practices but also how we analyze them--often in ways that have gone unnoticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eČarna Brkovic is Professor of Cultural Studies and European Ethnology at the University of Mainz, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9.18 x 6.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 03, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48381441016057,"sku":"9780253075222","price":52.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/tkeOovOpBE9780253075222.webp?v=1778350047","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/realigning-humanitarianism-in-the-balkans-from-cold-war-politics-to-neoliberal-ethics-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
