This book contains a unique collection of essays written by
scholars from the former Yugoslavia, exploring the events that led
to the devastating disintegration of their homeland. The scholars,
who are from the different ethnic groups now in conflict, provide
insightful, multicultural perspectives on the crisis. The essays
lead readers to reconsider the assumptions behind the predominant
western views of the post-cold war order and the place of ethnic
conflict and ethnic nationalism in that order. Most of the authors
point to the causes of the federal breakup and the war that are
specific to the social, political, and economic situation of
Yugoslavia as it evolved since Tito. The existence of these causes,
largely ignored in western analysis of the crisis, questions the
view that conflicting or overlapping claims of different ethnic
groups must result in nationalism and national conflict. The
variety of viewpoints--by scholars from Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia--provides a much-needed dialogue
about the combination of forces, events, and personalities that led
to the crisis and offers the opportunity to look ahead to a
brighter future for the region. This book is essential reading for
everyone who wants a better understanding of what caused the
breakup of Yugoslavia, as well as the more general problems of
nationalism and post-cold war international struggles. The
contributors are Vojin Dimitrijevic, University of Belgrade; Dusan
Janjic, University of Belgrade; Dusan Necak, University of
Ljubljana; Albina Necak Luk, University of Ljubljana; Zoran Pajic,
University of Sarajevo; Zarko Puhovski, University of Zagreb;
Milorad Pupovac, University of Zagreb; and DragomirVojnic,
University of Zagreb. Payam Akhavan is a legal adviser at the
International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the
Hague and was formerly a human rights investigator with the United
Nations in the former Yugoslavia. Robert Howse, assistant professor
of law at the University of Toronto, was Second Secretary at the
Canadian Embassy in Belgrade from 1984 to 1986.
