The book is about a village in the Balkan Peninsula of Europe where civilization originated and spread throughout Europe. Many nationalistic groups have invaded and claimed this area as their own, causing turmoil and the destabilization of Europe. The village is traceable back to the beginning of Christianity, where its people had been secluded and shielded by the Christian faith with detrimental consequences. Institutionalized falacies are analyzed and explained here, with respect to motives claimed by different factions of people of the European continent. The book also reports about family affairs and traditions enshrined in the people's every day lives.

Located in the middle of the Balkans, North Macedonia reflects the turbulent history of the region. The country emerged from former Yugoslavia in the 1990s without violence but struggled to achieve international recognition due to a dispute with neighboring Greece over its name and symbols. The name issue was resolved only in 2018 with the signature of the Prespa Agreement reviving prospects for membership in NATO and the European Union (EU). Yet North Macedonia’s story goes centuries back, to the Middle Ages, the period of Ottoman Rule which lasted until 1912, and the various reincarnations of Yugoslavia. The historical dictionary traces the country’s past and present with a wealth of articles on issues, events, institutions, personalities shaping political, economic and cultural life. It looks at the majority Macedonian as well as other ethnic communities such as the Albanians, Turks and the Roma. There are also entries on North Macedonia’s relations with neighbors, in history and today, as well as with global powers. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of North Macedonia contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about North Macedonia.

This book provides a broad, interdisciplinary analysis of events impacting on North Macedonia since its independence, particularly during the last decade. In the past thirty years, the country has gone through deep political, social and economic transition, along with a name change from ‘Macedonia’ to the ‘Republic of North Macedonia’ following the Prespa Agreement signed with Greece. The contributors consider Macedonia’s challenges, its multi-ethnic make-up and its ambition to enter the European mainstream through the auspices of the European Union and NATO. The volume includes chapters on international politics and North Macedonia’s place in the region’s security architecture as well as the difficulties of the privatisation of socially owned enterprises, political corruption, state capture and backsliding. The book also covers the controversial ‘Skopje 2014’ project in addition to the impact of migration along the ‘Balkan Route’ and the current wranglings with Bulgaria over identity politics.

The state-building and problem-solving diversity that is caused by ethnicity, the international community in the case of Macedonia applied models that come from the Western European tradition that is completely different from the structure of the state and the traditions of this area and the historical circumstances of the emergence and development of Macedonia. For all these reasons it is impossible to expect that the introduction of the cultural matrix of different content lead to identical applicability in this area. As a major European norm Macedonia imposed policy of implementation of multicultural inclusion that the international community has imposed itself as a way of dealing with inter-ethnic conflict by promoting linguistic and cultural diversity based on justice and equality with the main intention of introducing culture in primary goods thus achieving equality for all citizens of different ethnic origin on the basis of equality. In the case of Macedonia, this has not happened because the mere necessity theories of recognition was conditioned by political circumstances and the ability of national minorities to the policy of recognition obtained the rights sought.
