Nationalism is a key topic within Balkan Studies, and one of the
driving forces behind the bloody and difficult history of the
region. Using primary sources not previously utilized by western
scholars, this book documents the 'Croatian Spring' - a national
and liberal movement that began in the mid-sixties after the fall
of the vice president and head of the Yugoslav secret police
Aleksandar Rankovic. The author chronicles these developments of
democratisation and de-centralisation of communist Yugoslavia,
placing them in the wider context of the Cold War and Yugoslav
relations with the Soviet Union and the UnitedStates. Tito managed
to balance national stability and his relations with East and West,
until he felt that the national-liberal movements challenged his
authority, and thus threaten the very foundations of the Yugoslav
state. From late 1971 onwards, the liberal political and cultural
classes of Croatia and other republics were abruptly purged,
impoverishing Yugoslav leadership for subsequent decades.Batovic
also considers the role of the West, who felt a centralised and
stable Yugoslavia was in their interests and quickly accommodated
themselves to the repression of the reformist movement.
