  1. 1. Representing the Western Balkans, Post-war Understandings : A discourse analysis of contemporary representations of Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia in UK press media

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Europastudier

    Keywords : Representation; Balkans; Western Balkans; balkanism; media analysis; European Studies; Social Sciences; History and Archaeology;

    Abstract : During the war in Bosnia in the 1990s, and the Wars of Yugoslav Succession more widely, ‘balkanist’ views, which hold the people of the Balkans as backwards and violent, were widespread in debates in the UK. Using theories of ‘balkanism’ as developed by scholars such as Maria Todorova, Andrew Hammond, and Lene Hansen this thesis explores how the countries heavily involved in the Bosnian War–Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia–are represented in the UK press media in a postwar context between 2011 and 2018, and how these representations are used in arguments about the position of these countries in relation to Europe and the EU.
