| Abstract |
The author discusses why countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary achieved relatively peaceful revolutions while Croatia became enmeshed in domestic strife and conflict with neighboring Serbia. It is argued that Croatia failed to achieve a peaceful democratic transition because its political activists and leaders--journalists, intellectuals, trade unionists--failed to coalesce into an effective political force. It is further contended that a peaceful transition would have been more likely had reformist communists played a greater role in Croatian politics in 1989. |
