This book examines the relationship between nationalism and the
rise and fall of Yugoslavia under the rule of Josip Broz Tito. It
deals particularly with the interactions between communist and
intellectual elites. The authors analyze elites’ initial
enthusiasm about the Yugoslav federation and how, with time, they
found themselves unable to suppress the nationalists in Yugoslavia.
Other scholars have argued that, in a certain sense, Tito’s
Yugoslavia proved to be a “hatchery” for the nations that now
compose Yugoslavia, making them ever closer to “completeness.”
However, as the authors highlight in this study, this process was
one of conflict. The personal role of Tito as an arbiter was
essential, although, for the majority of his time in power, he did
not act as a dictator. His departure was strongly felt in the
1980s, when ethnic entrepreneurial activity began to flourish—and
when ethnic and political relations had gone out of control. While
a significant part of this book follows the chronology of ethnic
elite interaction in communist Yugoslavia, the global context of
Yugoslavia’s rise and fall is taken into account. The authors
also use Yugoslavia as a case study to test the validity of
nationalism studies more generally.
