Abstract

While comparisons and connections between the Balkans and the Middle East are often invoked, the authors in this symposium are putting them at the heart of their analysis. In seeking new insights into the relationship between identity and war they engage in “comparative area studies.” The comparisons, connections, and lessons that emerge from these contributions challenge our understandings of the so-called “war on terror”, the dynamics of grassroots peacebuilding, and the language of sexualised violence in war. The symposium contributes to the debate about how comparative area studies can bridge the gap between area studies and comparative politics and international relations.
