A Study of Intractable Ideological DisputesDissertation, University of Missouri - Columbia. 1991.This thesis attempts to show that the problematic nature of intractable ideological disputes may not be due to any lack of brute evidence, but rather may be due to the influence of ideology on the facts and observations that are used to support claims. Although the concept of brute evidence is sometimes assumed by disputants, as is the case in the Chomsky-Flew debate, this assumption is misleading and can even retard efforts to resolve them. A change in the "epistemological venue," however, not …Read more

Herët në mëngjes fillova të lexoja “Të bijën e Agamemnonit” të Ismail Kadaresë dhe pashë se ai kishte përdorur fjalën “kalimtar” që do të ishte edhe shprehja relevante për prezantimin e sotëm. Duke ditur se do të vija në Ballkan, nisa të lexoja edhe një tjetër vepër letrare, atë të Stieg Larssonit, “Vajza me tatu të dragoit”. Sikurse te vepra e Kadaresë, edhe në librin e Larssonit gjeta diçka që do të më hynte shumë në punë, që do të ishte relevante për diskutimin tonë të ditës së sotme. Prandaj…Read more

209Book Review: Chechnya: Tombstone of Russian Power (review)International Third World Studies Journal and Review 10 81-84. 1998/99.[1] From December 1994 to August 1996, Russia was engaged in the Chechen War, a Vietnam-style quagmire that exemplified, on the one hand, the end of Russia as a great military and imperial power, and, on the other hand, "one of the greatest epics of colonial resistance in the past century.'' No analysis can hope to understand the totality of forces that lend to the stability (or instability) of nations with large minority populations unless it first examines the conditions that led to the Russia…Read more

1257Rethinking Realism (or Whatever) and the War on Terrorism in a Place Like the BalkansTheoria: A Journal of Social and Political Theory 56 (120): 81-124. 2009.Political realism remains a powerful theoretical framework for thinking about international relations, including the war on terrorism. For Morgenthau and other realists, foreign policy is a matter of national interest defined in terms of power. Some writers view this tenet as weakening, if not severing, realism's link with morality. I take up the contrary view that morality is embedded in realist thought, as well as the possibility of realism being thinly and thickly moralised depending on the m…Read more

456The Hyperintellectual in the Balkans: RecomposedGlobal Outlook 1 (1): 51-110. 2016.Although hypointellectuals have long been a part of our cultural landscape, it is in post-conflict societies, such as those in Bosnia and Kosovo, that there has arisen a strong need for a different breed of intellectual, one who is more than simply a social critic, an educator, a person of action, and a compassionate individual. Enter the non-partisan intellectual—the hyperintellectual. It is the hyperintellectual, whose non-partisanship is manifested through a reciprocating critique and defense…Read more

184Book Review: To End a WarInternational Third World Studies Journal and Review 10 77-79. 1998/99.[1] If asked to name career diplomats who have tackled some very difficult international crises, many foreign policy makers would put Richard Holbrooke near the top of the list. Not many negotiators have wielded moral principle, power, and reason as well as Holbrooke. His book on the Bosnia negotiations leading up to the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement is timely, given the ethnic cleansing that is being carried out in Kosovo, a southern province of Yugoslavia's Serb Republic. Once again we are faced…Read more
