Zusammenfassung:Dr. Ramet's career of upsetting conventions extends in often profound ways to how we study the evolution of religion in the Balkans' modern history. Ramet's work often seeks to nuance the influence of religion as natives traverse the brutal transformations of the post-Ottoman era. 1 No doubt a factor as sectarian affiliation becomes a key category of differentiation within the context of the growth of the modern nation-state, it is nevertheless also noted how people rarely neatly fit into those imposed distinctions unless political agents force them to. In the process of charting the tensions shaping how states developed bureaucratically to define the subject along these religious lines, Dr. Ramet's contributions thus complicate our analysis of policies meant to service certain, often foreign, powered interests at the expense of resiliently autonomous local and regional constituencies. 2 The resulting rich analysis of especially the late Cold War era has proven even more valuable with the events shaping the Balkans since the structural collapse of those same twentieth century states by 1989/1990. 3
