Abstract
The Other Alexander, by Stéphane Yerasimos The Macedonian question is currently the central issue governing relations between Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Greece. This region, an extreme case of ethnie and religious mix, was partitioned in 1912. Bulgaria was left disatisfied and has laid irredentist daims more or less overtly ever since. Greece was disturbed by the proclamation of an independent Macedonia in September 1991, fearing eventual daims on its own territory, and refuses to recognise a state called Macedonia. As a resuit of this problem, developments in the Albanian situation, the growing involvement of Turkey and the increased concern of Western countries in the region, new alliances are being formed and new conflicts are on the horizon.
