| Abstract |
In the early 1990s, Yugoslavia's experiment in building a multinational state was replaced by open hostilities and warfare among the South Slavs. Four routes to Yugoslav self-identification (modernization, political participation, demographic factors, and majority vs minority status) and their significance are analyzed using survey data from 1986 and 1989 (N = 3,619 & 6,226, respectively) just prior to the breakup of Yugoslavia. None of these proved sufficient to override the centrifugal forces of rising nationalism and ethnic group allegiance. Implications for political integration in Eastern Europe and the former USSR are discussed. |
