The Fragmentation of Yugoslavia: Nationalism in a Multinational State - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Pavkovic (Slavonic and Eastern European studies, Macquarie U., Sydney) finds the roots of the disintegration of Yugoslavia in conflicting claims on the same territory by the several ethnic groups that were welded together into a state. Those claims, he says, first emerged during the 1980s as anti-communist dissent, then became the ideologies of new ruling parties in each republic after the fall of communism. He explains that the failure of the 1974 Yugoslav constitution to provide mechanisms for resolving such disputes left the parties no alternative but to attempt to settle them by force. He also analyzes the external diplomatic and military efforts to impose a settlement and assesses their potential for success. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
