Title: From indifference to entrapment
Description: "The Yugoslav crisis represents a formidable foreign policy challenge to many Western and Islamic government bureaucracies. From Indifference to Entrapment deals with the question of how the Netherlands faced up to this challenge during the years 1990-1995. It was during this period that the crisis erupted into armed conflict and the single worst war crime in Europe since the end of World War II took place in the 'safe area' of Srebrenica. The role of the Netherlands is particularly interesting, as the country held the EC/EU Presidency during the recognition debate in 1991 and supplied the peacekeeping presence in Srebrenica." "This study is based on interviews with key players, including former Cabinet Ministers, and on documents from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made available under the Dutch 'freedom of information act'."--Book jacket.
