| Summary/Abstract |
Today in Sarajevo there is disturbing talk of an unravelling of the Dayton Accords that ended the bloody civil war there 14 years ago. Nearly 100,000 people were killed in that war, which pitted Muslims against Serbs against Croats, and saw Europe's nastiest massacres since the Second World War. Since 1995, Bosnia has been at peace, but the main political parties continue to fight over the basic issues that started the war almost two decades ago. Concern over the general political situation has increased as nationalist rhetoric has raised the spectre of a re-division of the country and an ensuing descent into violence. Some in Sarajevo even evoke the possibility of 'European Gazas' emerging in some parts of the county, where there are hints that unemployed Muslim youth may be coming under the influence of a radical, foreign brand of Wahhabist Islam.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the summer of 2014, Libya collapsed into civil war, dashing hopes this former pariah of the West would emulate neighbouring Tunisia in its move towards democracy post-Gadhafi. Since that summer, Libya has been a failed state with duelling governments, beset by conflict and a perilous economic and humanitarian outlook. The United States and its European allies, led by the United Nations, have struggled to form a government of national unity from the country’s feuding factions. As of June 2016, a UN-sponsored Presidential Council was working from makeshift headquarters on a naval base in Tripoli’s harbour, where it coexisted uneasily with a rump parliament backed by hardline Islamists. Meanwhile, a third governing body formerly recognised by the international community as sovereign carried on in the eastern town of Tobruk. The self-appointed leader of the Libyan National Army, General Khalifa Hiftar, was consolidating military power in the east, while the militias aligned with the city of Misrata in the west continued to dominate in Tripoli and other parts of the country.

| Summary/Abstract |
The tragic assault on the US consulate in Benghazi on 11 September 2012 raised new doubts about the wisdom of the 2011 intervention in Libya. But while the attack put a question mark over Libya's transition, it did not change the fact that the intervention had toppled Muammar Gadhafi and opened the door to a better future for the country. Without it, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of innocent civilians would have died and the wave of rebellion sweeping across the Middle East and North Africa would likely have been slowed. It was a genuine if moderate success for the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), for the United States, and most of all for Libya and the Libyan people. Success, however, was the result of no small amount of good fortune, and it could prove very hard to replicate, so before applying its lessons to other cases (above all Syria), it is critical to assess what was and was not accomplished in Libya, and why.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 2001 Macedonia's large ethnic Albanian minority revolted against the country's Slav-dominated state. In a victory for transatlantic relations, Europe and the United States worked together to defuse the crisis and avert what could easily have become another Balkan disaster. Since then, there has been progress in rebuilding Macedonia, and the EU deserves credit. This success, however, was predicated on strong US backing and the promise of NATO and EU membership. Although this has made the country something of a political hybrid, Macedonia belongs in NATO, and eventually, the European Union
