In the last years of their existence, the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics (USSR) and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(SFRY) found themselves facing a similar and very grim state of
affairs. After their disintegration, the former Yugoslav republics
spiralled into a set of ethnic conflicts that did not leave a
single one of them unscathed, and in the ex-Soviet space, conflicts
were far more limited. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the
difference in state collapses and ensuing conflicts in the Soviet
Union and Yugoslavia by focusing on their asymmetric ethnofederal
structure and the different dynamics of ethnic mobilization that
the federal units experienced. Moreover, it explores the links
between identity politics and international relations, as the
latter has been a latecomer in research on ethnonationalism and
ethnic conflict. Finally, it contributes to the literature on the
democratization-conflict nexus by proposing that the sequencing of
ethnic mobilization and political liberalization has significant
effects on the likelihood of conflict. This text will be of key
interest to scholars and students of Post-Soviet politics, Balkan
politics, ethnic conflict, peace and conflict studies, federalism,
and more broadly to comparative politics and international
relations.
