Summary/Abstract: Without a public, open and expert debate about the recent war legacy, the complete establishment of security and cooperation in the area of former Yugoslavia will not be possible. Local scholars still argue over causes, substance and consequences of the Yugoslav wars. Only a few of the research findings so far, have been generally accepted. This is in large part due to the fact that during the wars, professional cooperation among scholars of the newly emerging states was ruptured. Thus, some of them were deprived, in addition to other things, of the opportunity to compare Yugoslav wars with similar domestic wars in other parts of the world. As much as it seemed necessary to get an insight into research results on the causes and origins of contemporary domestic wars, it was even more important that the introduction of comparative results into discussions occur in order to gain a better understanding of the nature of domestic wars but also to contribute to going beyond fragmentary interpretations of the Yugoslav wars. Also, discussion about synthesized knowledge of developments of contemporary domestic wars can offer a more reliable theoretical and methodological basis for further research and interpretation of Yugoslavia’s wars.
