“Aspects of Islamic Radicalization in the Balkans After the Fall of Communism” is the second volume in the series South-East European History (Peter Lang Book Series South-East European History), edited by Mihai Dragnea and published by Peter Lang on behalf of the Balkan History Association (BHA). The volume which was edited by Mihai Dragnea, Joseph Fitsanakis, Darko Trifunović, John M. Nomikos, Vasko Stamevski and Adriana Cupcea, explores the channels through which Islamic fundamentalism has spread among Muslims in the Balkans since the early 1990s. The authors collectively examine political and religious ties between Balkan Muslims and various private organizations and state institutions in Muslim states, with a particular focus on the reception of Salafism and its Saudi version, Wahhabism. The volume also addresses the ideological climate that has generated volunteers for Islamic State in recent years. It is the outcome of a research project of the Balkan History Association.
