Project 'Project Paramilitarism, Organized Crome, and the Yugoslav State in the 1990s'
The
PhD candidate involved in this sub-project will concentrate on Serb
paramilitary squads and the Yugoslav wars of succession in the period
1980-2000. The candidate will identify paramilitarism in Serbia, by
mapping how these networks related to the country’s intelligence and
security networks and political parties. The project will also examine
the acts of the paramilitaries, including political assassinations, mass
violence against civilians, organized crime, and material and
environmental destruction.
The PhD candidate will work
closely together with one other PhD employed for this project. Both are
expected to actively contribute to the activities of the research team
both in Utrecht and elsewhere. The PhD candidate will be based at
Utrecht University’s Department of History and Art History, as part of
the research team led by Dr. Uğur Ümit Üngör.
