Post-Yugoslav States Thirty Years after 1991: Unfinished Businesses of a Fivefold Transition
The article critically examines and evaluates from a 30-year perspective the developments in states that emerged after the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991. It places 1991 in opposition to 1989, and to what 1989 symbolized for most of Europe. But it also argues that 1991 in Yugoslavia was a direct, although undesirable, consequence of 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe. The article develops the concept of fivefold transition to explain expect…
Comrade Tito, it’s all your fault! Yugoslav Citizens’ Letters to Josip Broz Tito
Between 1945 and 1967, Josip Broz Tito, the Marshal and President of Yugoslavia, received 411,769 letters written by citizens of his country. Until 1964 he personally read most of the letters addressed to him and made decisions on requests and comments expressed in them. In this article we argue that Tito used the letters received to establish a direct link between himself and citizens. This was one of the key instruments of his power, as he used…
Pandemic crisis and its challenges to security studies
The pandemic crisis in 2020 has given the cause for the securitization of the medical problem that might - if it goes on without an adequate answer - question security in many other sectors: economic, state, social and identity ones. It might have - and it already has - consequences for the structure of the international order as well. In this article the author identifies the consequences of the pandemic crisis at all four levels of the security…
Europe Outside the European Union? New Dilemmas in Defining European Identity
Odlukom Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva da napusti Europsku uniju, kao i usporavanjem procesa proširenja Europske unije na zemlje Zapadnog Balkana i Tursku, pojavila se nova fraza u europskom političkom rječniku: Europa izvan Europske unije. Ta fraza, koju promoviraju tvorci britanske vanjske politike, vraća na dnevni red raspravu o europskom identitetu. U ovom članku analiziraju se kompleksni i različiti odgovori na pitanja kao što su tko je, što je, ka…

Yugoslavia: A State that Withered Away
War and Change in the Balkans: Nationalism, Conflict and Cooperation by Brad K. Blitz (ed.)
Introduction: The Next Wave of Enlargement: The European Union and Southeast Europe after 2004
First paragraph: The completion of the Central and Eastern European accession process into the European Union (EU) in 2004 can in broad terms be taken to have been a considerable success in generating an enlarged European zone of peace and stability. But the experience of post-communist transformation within this region is in stark contrast to that in South East Europe where the collapse of the Yugoslav Federation at the end of the Cold War unlea…
Croatia and the European Union: A Long Delayed Journey
The accession talks with the European Union, which Croatia begun in October 2005, have been described as an opportunity for a complete transformation of Croatian society. As of 2000, membership of the EU has been described as being of strategic importance, to be compared only with the 1992 international recognition of Croatia. Membership of the EU is seen as the end of ‘second transition’ (from nationalism and isolation of the 1990s to a modern, …
Democracy, Ethnic Diversity, and Security in Post‐Communist Europe
The Macedonian–Albanian political frontier: The re‐articulation of post‐Yugoslav political identities
The article examines the re‐articulation of national identity in Macedonia since its independence in 1992. Both ethnic Macedonian and ethnic Albanian political identities have been engaged in a complex process of redefinition. Two ethnic groups had previously been strongly influenced by the Marxist paradigm and its Yugoslav official interpretation. During the 1990s, the elements of the old paradigm were combined with elements of the new – liberal…
