dc.description.abstractInstead of claiming that paramilitaries exclusively represented part and parcel of the imperializing Balkan nation-state, the article contends that even the Habsburg Monarchy -the most loudest opponent of this type of warfare- could appropriate paramilitarism, driven by a mounting war pressure and momentary context. By focusing on two battalions established during the Habsburg occupation of the town of Mitrovica amid the First World War (1916–18), the paper seeks to study the blurred line between regular and irregular warfare, the legacy and the entangled history of paramilitarism, all while focusing on the bearers, the character of warfare, and learning from imperial wars.
