Special Issue - The Ohrid Agreement and After: Forging a Political Settlement in Macedonia

This Special Issue provides an overview and analysis of the interethnic arrangements that were struck to end hostilities in Macedonia last year, otherwise known as the Ohrid Agreement. Contributors to this Issue discuss the motives of the signatories and the external actors, the link between the Agreement and previous attempts to ensure peace in Macedonia as well as the considerable difficulties that have been faced in implementing the deal so far.

The Editors encourage further contributions on this timely issue, especially from younger academics and practitioners who may wish to contribute to this ongoing discussion.
