Barbara Jelavich Book Prize
2001 COMPETITION

The American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS)
announces the 2001 competition for the Barbara Jelavich Book Prize. Barbara
Jelavich was a distinguished and internationally respected scholar whose
numerous publications included Modern Austria, Russia's Balkan
Entanglements, and the two-volume History of the Balkans. The Jelavich
Prize was established in 1995 in her memory to recognize and to encourage
the high standards she set in her many areas of scholarly interest and to
promote continued study of those areas. The prize is awarded annually for a
distinguished monograph published on any aspect of Southeast European or
Habsburg studies since 1600, or nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ottoman
or Russian diplomatic history. Only English-language books published in the
