This book provides a revisionist history of the rise and fall of
Yugoslavia. Assessing the geo-political and geo-strategic reasons
for its creation and dismemberment, it is an important corrective
to much contemporary theorising about the destruction of the
Yugoslav state. In particular Kate Hudson draws attention to the
role of foreign states whose involvement in Yugoslavia did much to
destabilise the region, and explains how and why this happened.
Tracing the state's origins from 1918 through war and the Tito
years, she explains the distortion of the socialist economy
resulting from Yugoslavia's unusual position between the two Cold
War blocs, and the economic collapse of the 1980s as part of the
US's drive for a free market. She also investigates the true causes
and effects of the recent wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo and
brings the book up-to-date with an analysis of Milosevic's
downfall, and events in Macedonia and Montenegro. 'has the
potential to reopen the debate over the collapse of Yugoslavia,
thus establishing the title as an original contribution to the
ongoing discussion on the Balkans ...a very valuable addition'
Vassilis Fouskas, Kingston University
