| Abstract |
It is suggesed that the sources of Yugoslavia's dissolution lie in a gallery of modern Serbian fears that were fostered and manipulated by the Serbian neocommunist leadership of Slobodan Milosevic. A brief synthesis of the postwar nationality question in Yugoslavia is provided with special attention given to the most recent developments. It is argued that the West failed to differentiate between various strains of nationalism in Eastern Europe and maintained the Yugoslav project even after it lost all relevance on home grounds. It is predicted that the fragmentation of formerly communist multinational states is only the beginning of the breakdown of large systems. |
