Dr Catherine Baker is Lecturer in 20th Century History at the University of Hull. She previously worked as a researcher on the Languages at War project at the University of Southampton and as Teaching Fellow in Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict at the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies. Catherine has parallel interests in media, culture and nationalism and in international intervention.
'Peace-building’ international organisations vitiated the economic course of post-Yugoslav countries by acting as periodical employers with no sustainable long-term strategy. This has occurred most of all in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo, where international intervention has taken place on the greatest scale', writes Dr Catherine Baker for the LSEE Blog.
