Transforming Rebel Movements in Croatia and Macedonia

Comparing the paths taken by different ethnic groups in Croatia and Macedonia this book offers a comprehensive analysis of how different rebel groups made the change from soldiers to politicians. Using empirical data from national and sub-national elections over the entire post-conflict period and gathered during extensive interviews members of different ethnic groups, armed groups, political parties, civilians and journalists the text explores the reconstruction of minority politics after ethnic conflicts and analyses the integration of former combatants into the political sphere.
