Beyond Yugoslavia

Focusing on the final years of socialist Yugoslavia and the beginning of the countrys breakup, this book looks at each of Yugoslavias six republics, offering a unique blend of thematic essays on political, economic, environmental, religious, cultural, and foreign policy issues. Bringing together internationally 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.
