In a new publication, The Modern Balkans: A Concise Guide to Nationalism, Politics, the Rise and Decline of the Nation State, pubished by the LSEE - Research on South Eastern Europe, in June, Professor Emeritus of Political history at the University of Athens Thanos Veremis synthesises much of the contemporary historiography of the Balkans, providing a clear and accessible narrative.

The book has a broad historical reach, from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries and includes three main chapters: the first covers the emergence of the new nation states and the stateless nations; the second makes thematic connections between this Balkan history and that of the wider world, with respect to issues of nationalism and identity; and the third explores the ‘unfinished business’ of the present – the issues that linger and challenge the region and its allies.
