The fruit of a landmark international collaboration, this book focuses on the final years of socialist Yugoslavia and on the beginning of the country’s breakup. With chapters devoted to each of erstwhile Yugoslavia’s six republics, the book also offers a unique blend of thematic essays on political, cultural, economic, environmental, religious, and foreign policy issues. Bringing together renowned scholars from the United States, Great Britain, Serbia, and Croatia, the book shows how disintegrative tendencies penetrated and affected all spheres of life in Yugoslavia. The resultant war has, therefore, been fought not only on military and diplomatic fronts, but also at the level of economics, through literature and film, and in the spheres of religion and gender relations.
