The Conceit of Innocence: Losing the Conscience of the West in the War Against Bosnia

Beschreibung

Innocence may be lost in the post-Cold War West with regard to democratic reform in Eastern Europe, but the practice of a "conceit" of innocence--or imitation of a purity of action commonly associated with the 1950s--is the theme explored in this unusual collection of essays contributed by a number of varied professionals, ranging from sociologist, anthropologist, journalist, political scientist, and other fields.
