Despite appalling ethnic violence elsewhere in former Yugoslavia, Macedonia has stayed relatively peaceful, thus providing a model of successful conflict prevention. The authors, whose organization leads a nongovernmental consortium to help defuse ethnic tensions in Macedonia, believe violence has been largely avoided because Macedonian leaders have demonstrated sufficient political will and because the international community has applied an appropriate mix of diplomatic, economic, military, psychological, and conflict resolution measures.
