Abstract

One of the key themes in the three decades after the wars of Yugoslav dissolution has been reconciliation between Croatia and Serbia, two former Yugoslav republics that participated in the bloody fighting between 1991–1995 after Croatia declared independence. The recent inflation of the use of the term reconciliation requires a narrow and precise definition, which enables researchers and practitioners to adapt it to real-world cases and the available empirical evidence. In this article, the authors rely on the main features of the so-called “need-based model of socio-emotional reconciliation”, which was derived from social psychology to examine inter-group processes after violent conflict. They propose several amendments to this model to make it feasible for the analysis of inter-state relations, regarding reconciliation as a process, not a stable result of reconciliatory performances. They adopt this model to bilateral relations between Croatia and Serbia, with a focus on apologies related to the siege of Vukovar (1991) and the aftermath of Operation Storm (1995), and then discuss the model’s suitability for international relations theory.

超越塞族-克罗地亚的道歉:检验战后克罗地亚的政治和解模式
在南斯拉夫解体战争后的三十年里,克罗地亚和塞尔维亚这两个前南斯拉夫共和国在克罗地亚宣布独立后参与了 1991-1995 年间的血腥战斗,它们之间的和解是关键主题之一。最近,"和解 "一词的使用越来越广泛,这就需要一个狭义而准确的定义,使研究人员和实践者能够根据现实世界的案例和现有的经验证据对其进行调整。在本文中,作者借鉴了所谓 "基于需求的社会情感和解模式 "的主要特征,该模式源自社会心理学,用于研究暴力冲突后的群体间进程。他们对这一模式提出了几项修正,使其适用于分析国家间关系,将和解视为一个过程,而非和解行为的稳定结果。他们将这一模式应用于克罗地亚和塞尔维亚之间的双边关系,重点关注与武科瓦尔围困战(1991 年)和风暴行动(1995 年)后果有关的道歉,然后讨论了该模式在国际关系理论中的适用性。
