Yugoslavia managed to survive from its inception in 1918 until the early 1990s. But now, tragic ethnic and regional conflicts have irrevocably fragmented the country. Lenard Cohen explores the original conception and motives underlying the Yugoslav idea, looking at the state's major problems, achievements, and failures during its short and troubled history. Cohen answers a broad range of questions concerning contemporary How did the state plunge from its position as a positive model to an essentially negative case of socialist reform? What measures for recovery were proposed by the country's ethnically and regionally segmented one-party elite? What were the reasons for the eventual abandonment of reform socialism, the elimination of the single party's monopoly, and the rapid delegitimation of the country's federal political institutions? What programs have been offered by the noncommunist and born again communist leaders elected to power during the revival of multiparty pluralism in 1990? How did their efforts to achieve regional and ethnic sovereignty place the country in such a precarious and ultimately fatal position? The Evolution of the Yugoslav 1830 -1980; Socialist Reform in The Post-Tito Debate; Toward The Emergence of Party Pluralism; Sovereignty The Fragmentation of State Authority; Pluralism in the Nationalism Triumphant; Drifting New Elites and a Delegitimated Federation; The Politics of Prelude to Civil War; The Dissolution of the 2nd Balkan Violence and the International Response; Yugoslavisms Failure and Future.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Though somewhat academic, this detailed, careful analysis should be useful to serious students of the area. Cohen ( Political Cohesion in A Fragile Mosaic: The Yugoslav Experience ) begins in the 19th century, tracing Yugoslav nationalism before a state was formed. He describes the "ambiguous legacy" of Tito's communist nationalism, then subtly analyzes the debate over post-Tito reform strategies. Drawing on many Yugoslav sources, especially opinion polls, he shows the growth of ethnic nationalism in the 1990s. Unilateral independence decisions by Slovenia and Croatia in 1991, aided by recognition from Europe, fueled the country's dissolution; Western nations, mistakenly believing it would defuse tension, recognized Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992. Though Cohen cites the long history of ethnic animosity and the failures of communism as factors contributing to violence, his study emphasizes how political leaders have repeatedly failed to reach compromises. Pessimistic about future inter-ethnic tolerance, as well as international influence on peace, Cohen suggests that the new states from the former Yugoslavia must produce more enlightened leaders.
