This book offers a refreshing new analysis of the role of workers
both in Tito's Yugoslavia and in the subsequent Serbian revolution
against Milosevic in October 2000. The authors argue that Tito and
the Communist leadership of Yugoslavia saw self-management as a
modernising project to compete with the West, and as a disciplining
tool for workers in the enterprise. The socialist ideals of
self-management were subsequently corrupted by Yugoslavia's turn to
the market. The authors then move on to examining the central role
of ordinary workers in overthrowing the nationalist regime of
Milosevic and present an account which runs contrary to many
descriptions of 'labour weakness' in post-Communist states.
Organised labour should be studied as a movement in and of itself
rather than as a passive object of external forces. Two labour
movement waves have emerged under post-Communism, the first an
expression of desire for democracy, the second as a collaboration
and clientelism. A third wave, against the ravages of
neoliberalism, is only just emerging. -- .
