“…As for demographic pressure, the growth of the Albanian population in Kosovo had led to important social changes in the province. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, Kosovar Albanians experienced a much higher natural growth rate than their Serb counterparts (Djurdjev, 2000;Statistical Office of Kosovo, 2008). This high demographic growth rate had significant social impacts, such as cancelling out the projected benefits of development policies aimed at combatting chronically high unemployment amongst Kosovar Albanians (Bogosavljevi c, 1994).…”

The Kosovo War (1998War ( -1999 that played out between ethnic Albanians and Serbs in the former Yugoslavia is often portrayed as an ethnic conflict because it involved different ethnic groups in confrontation with each other. This characteristic presupposes that ethnicity played an important role in the Kosovo conflict, but is that actually the case? To explore this question, the experience of Albanians in Kosovo is compared with that of Hungarians in Vojvodina. The latter formed the second largest minority in Serbia, behind Albanians, and their institutional and legal position greatly paralleled that of Kosovar Albanians. Despite this, Hungarians experienced far less conflict with the Serbian majority than did their Albanian counterparts.

Tourism and Transition: Governance, Transformation and Development

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter examines Serbia's pursuit of a "sustainable" tourism development policy and the context within which this is evolving. This context comprises: Serbia being set in relative isolation during the 1990s; the physical destruction and regional instability wrought by the break up of Yugoslavia; and the consequent loss of markets and the need to assert a new identity both for Serbia and its regional setting. Sections of the chapter discuss: tourism as re-imaging national identity; recent trends in tourism development in Serbia; the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Serbian tourism; the strategic frame for sustainable tourism development in Serbia; tourism image requirements; and the promotion of Serbia.

Progress in Human Geography

Despite the persistence of Malthusian arguments that human population will grow to outstrip the Earth’s capacity and resources, current demography actually foretells the impending end of growth in the next half century. We are approaching a global baby bust. What does this mean for global political labor economies, regional resource economics, and local struggles over gender and power? This paper concludes, through a survey of current research, that geographers already have the conceptual equipment to answer these enormously important questions. We further argue that the fundamental underpinnings of much contemporary economic and social theory, having been developed in times of rapid population growth and labor surplus, must be reconsidered as we enter a period of different material conditions. Reviewing recent developments in population geography and feminist geopolitics, global geographies of labor and aging, and emerging patterns of resource intensification and disintensification, we suggest that – if infused with an explicit political economy – attending to the baby bust can show the way forward to help revitalize our understanding of bodies and materiality in critical and human geography.
