Social Change
The analogy of historical development with the life cycle has played a great role throughout the history of western thought. From the nineteenth century up to the present the dominant model for explaining social change has been evolutionary theory. Some of these theories derive their inspiration from biological evolution while others regard history as possessing an internal mechanism that gives rise to change. The representative of the latter gro…
Values: Global
Social values are relatively abstract and generalized standards or principles of what the individuals in a society consider good and desirable. Equality, justice, and freedom are examples of such values. They are the basis for creating evaluative criteria for judging concrete social behavior as good or bad, desirable or despicable, acceptable or unacceptable. Values are the source of concrete prescription for behavior in practical situations of e…
Ethnic Cleansing
The term ethnic cleansing refers to an organized campaign to forcibly transfer a specific ethnic population out of an area. The term ethnic cleansing started to be widely used in connection with the events associated with the dissolution of the Yugoslav state in the 1990s. Although the term is a recent invention it describes an age old practice. Forced resettlements, deportations, and bringing the population of a loyal group to replace the resett…
Social Change
Through the whole history of western thought the analogy of historical development with the life cycle has played a great role. From the nineteenth century until modern times the dominant model underlying the explanation of social change was evolutionary theory. One group of theories derived its inspiration from an analogy with biological evolution whereas the other group regarded history as endowed with some internal mechanism leading to change.…
Balkans
Geographically, the Balkans comprises the southeastern part of the European landmass. The term has always had a broad geopolitical meaning. Initially it included territories under the control of the Ottoman empire. The evolution of the negative connotation of the Balkan in modern political discourse can be connected with the period of decline of the Ottoman empire and the resulting social and political instability. The nineteenth century was a ti…
Ethnic Cleansing and Ethnic Swamping
The term “ethnic cleansing” refers to an organized campaign to forcibly transfer a specific ethnic population out of an area. “Ethnic swamping” is the opposite process of introducing a population into a disputed area. The concept of ethnic cleansing started to be widely used in connection with the events associated with the dissolution of the Yugoslav state in the 1990s. Although the phrase itself is a recent formation, it describes an age‐old pr…
S erbs and C roats
Serbs and Croats were part of the Slavic migrations into the territory of the Roman empire at the beginning of the sixth century. They established early medieval polities that went through separate political and cultural developments. The Ottoman conquest in the fifteenth century caused large demographic shifts and movements of Vlach and Serbian populations into the traditional Croat territories. Catholicism and Orthodoxy became the main division…
Bosnia
Bosnia and Herzegovina became an independent state as the result of the disintegration of the socialist Yugoslavia. It is ethnically heterogeneous state and no ethnic group has an absolute majority. The most numerous are Bošnjaks, a national group that emerged as the result of the Islamization of the local Slavic population during Ottoman rule. After the disintegration of the Ottoman empire, Bosnia was annexed by Austria in 1908. From the beginni…
Social Change
Change can be defined as a succession of events that produce, over time, a modification or replacement of particular patterns or units by other, novel ones. In the history of western thought there are several models explaining societal change. One of the oldest is the model of growth, whereby an institution, nation, society, or civilization develops following intrinsic principles – that is, principles contained in its own nature. Such growth is u…
Aron, Raymond (1905–1983)
Raymond Aron (1905–1983) was a French sociologist, philosopher, political actor, and commentator. Before World War II, he lectured in several French universities (Le Havre, Bordeaux, Toulouse). In 1938, he defended his doctoral thesis Introduction to the Philosophy of History , which was published as a book and widely reviewed in Europe and the United States. After graduating, he spent the years from 1930 to 1933 in Germany and observed the rise …

Social Change
Change can be defined as a “succession of events which produce over time a modification or replacement of particular patterns or units by other novel ones.” Sociology as a discipline emerged in the middle of the nineteenth century as an attempt to explain not only the great waves of change sweeping Europe in the form of industrialization and democratization, but also the observed gap between European and colonized societies

Ethnic Cleansing
The term ethnic cleansing refers to various policies of forcibly removing people of another ethnic group. At the more general level it can be understood as the expulsion of any $@#*^%#@#ldquo;undesirable$@#*^%#@#rdquor; population from a given territory not only due to its ethnicity but also as a result of its religion, or for political, ideological, or strategic considerations, or a combination of these characteristics
Ethnic intolerance and ethnic conflict in the dissolution of Yugoslavia
The causal link between ethnic intolerance and ethnic conflict is tested using four highly comparable data sets from Croatia that span the time before and after the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia: 1984-5, 1989-90, 1996 and 2003. Though most approaches to ethnic conflict posit a social-psychological dimension critical to violent encounters, our analysis provides an unprecedented empirical examination that dispels the commonly held view that eth…
Civic and ethnic identity: The case of Croatia
The understanding of ethnicity as primordial has prevailed among the people of the former Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav identification was always present as a more "broader" identification for those who wanted to escape the narrow ethnic identification. The main argument of the article is that with the dissolution of the Yugoslav state the new functional equivalent to the Yugoslav identification is emerging in the form of the "civic identity". This ne…
Nationalism, liberalism and liberal nationalism in post‐war Croatia
This article analyses ethnic nationalism and liberalism as expressed in the views of Croatians in the aftermath of the 1991–5 war – a war during which ethnic‐nationalist rhetoric played a large role. Because the war was part of systemic change in the nation, including the adoption of more democratic and capitalist social formation, we also anticipated economic and political liberalism to be present among a sizeable portion of the population. We p…
Political Transformation and Elite Formation in Croatia
The authors use three sets of Croatian survey data (1984, 1989, and 1996) in order to analyse the reproduction and circulation of elites. The essence of the approach is to compare the extent of circulation of elites during the communist period with the circulation that happened after the fall of communism. The result is that the quantity of circulation in the eight post‐communist years in Croatia is not different from that in two observed communi…

Women in the League of Yugoslav Communists: Party Membership and Occupational Attainment
In light of women's declining participation in politics in Eastern and Central Europe since 1989, it is important to determine the fuller effect of this change on women's life chances, including the influence of political participation on occupational attainment. We examine membership in the League of Yugoslav Communists (LYC) as a factor in women's occupational attainment in the former Yugoslavia. Using survey data gathered in Croatia from 1994-…

The Creation and Dissolution of the Multinational State: The Case of Yugoslavia
The article draws on Randall Collins' interpretation of a Weberian sociology of legitimacy and the importance of geostrategy in explaining the contrasts between the creation and dissolution of Yugoslavia. The creation of Yugoslavia is interpreted as the outcome of the expansionist policy of the Serbian elite which was justified by the inclusion of all the ethnic Serbs into one state and made possible by the geostrategically weak positions of the …

Women, Men, and the 'Second Shift' in Socialist Yugoslavia
The authors examine the 'second shift' in the former socialist Yugoslavia through the analysis of 1989-90 data from a random sample of 7,790 adults in the paid labor force. Despite working outside the home, women are primarily responsible for housework. Neither education, occupation, urbanization, nor participation in the informal economy has a significant effect in reducing this; only the presence of an older female in the household measurably r…
Who Were the Yugoslavs? Failed Sources of a Common Identity in the Former Yugoslavia
Yugoslavia's leaders believed that a policy of equality among the many nationalities in Yugoslavia, in tandem with Communist Party hegemony, would allow nationalism within Yugoslavia to exist, mature, andfinally diminish as a political force without jeopardizing the political stability and economic development of the country as a whole. Consequently the identification of people with their nationality was accepted to the neglect of an identity ass…

National Tolerance in the Former Yugoslavia
This article analyzes patterns of tolerance among nationalities in the former Yugoslavia. Greater tolerance among urban residents, those from nationally diverse republics, and those with nationally mixed parentage and less tolerance among religious people strongly support the modernization theory of ethnic relations. The association of unemployment with intolerance and outbreaks of violence in areas with greater national diversity support theorie…
