Episode 14 - Why states outsource violence and archives keep the secrets?

Over the next two episodes, we talk to Dr. Iva Vukušić, an Assistant Professor in International History at the Center for Conflict Studies at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and a visiting research fellow at the Department of War Studies at Kings College London. In this first episode, we focus on some of the main findings of her book titled "Serbian Paramilitaries and the Breakup of Yugoslavia - State Connections and Patterns of Violence", published in September 2022.

In the second episode, we'll focus on the politics of archives and access to information and how it could be access to justice.

Enjoy listening!
