Before Tito's Yugoslavia, which disintegrated violently in the
1990s, there was another Yugoslav state. This book is about the
original, interwar Yugoslavia (1918-41), and is based on the
author's research in Croatian, Serbian, British and American
archives and on extensive study of published sources. Unlike other
scholars, Dejan Djoki argues that the period can be best understood
through an analysis of attempts to reach a Serb-Croat compromise.
Historians have long recognised the Croats' rejection of state
centralism, but Djoki shows that many Serbs had also accepted
federalism by the mid-1930s. Djoki challenges the popular
perception of the period as one of constant conflict between Serbs
and non-Serbs and argues that the political mismanagement of the
country paved the way for the radicalisation of the war years
(1941-5) and the subsequent communist takeover. Although primarily
a study of conflict management in a multinational state, the book
provides an insight into the effects of politics on 'ordinary'
people. "Elusive Compromise" places Yugoslavia in the context of a
Europe-wide struggle between democracy and dictatorship, and
contributes to an understanding of the dissolution of Yugoslavia
and other multinational states.
