In our introduction, @KatarinaMil and I outline the ambivalent legacies of the #KosovoWar in a comparative perspective. By looking at the mediatization of #NATO's 1999 intervention, we criticially reasess the concept of humanitarian intervention. 3/10 degruyter.com/document/doi/1…
In his article, @ludwigzhou@GSOSES examines the reporting by China’s most important newspaper, People’s Daily, on the 1999 #NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, showing how the narrative of shared victimhood was constructed. 4/10 degruyter.com/document/doi/1…
