Summary
Dušan Fundić: Austria-Hungary and the emergence of Albania
"Dušan Fundić's book is an original scientific work. Its conclusions are based, primarily, on the archival material of the Viennese archive. Compared to previous research, a significant shift has been made with the use of an appropriate methodological approach that carried out a nuanced analysis of the research problem." (from the review by academician Ljubodrag Dimić)
"The manuscript of this book represents a valuable contribution not only to Serbian, but also to world historiography, humanities and social sciences. It will especially enrich our fund of knowledge about the history of Austria-Hungary, the Albanians and the Balkan Peninsula, but it will also complete world research on the complex relationship between empires and nations. In it, in a beautiful and original way, historiographical, archival research and existing, sociological and anthropological theories of nations and national identities. In this, it corresponds to the latest academic trends. This is the main strength and contribution of a young researcher in the best way to present himself to the professional, but also to the wider reading public." (from the review by Prof. Miloš Ković, Ph.D.)
"Dušan Fundić's contribution to a better understanding of this historical phenomenon is undoubted - based on exhaustive research of archival materials in Vienna and Albanian sources, as well as relevant literature, in agreement with theoretical approaches in the field of nationalism studies, unencumbered by nationalist debates on a delicate topic from modern history, his monograph is a valuable historiographic contribution." (from the review by Dr. Dragan Bakić)
