Demographers as Desk Perpetrators? Population Experts and Serbia’s Kosovo Obsession in the 1980s and Thereafter
This article examines the role played by Serbian demographers in the lead-up to the Yugoslav Wars. I argue that demographic research contributed to nationalist narratives and territorial claims. Demographers propagated concepts such as the ‘demographic threat’ posed by non-Serb populations, particularly Albanians and Bosnian Muslims, and the notion of ‘genocide’ against Serbs. They linked fertility, ethnicity and territory. By focusing on the mos…
Introduction
This introduction to the special issue on migrant entrepreneurship in the (former) Yugoslavia emphasises the importance of historical context in understanding the migration–development nexus. The region serves as a valuable case for studying the developmental effects of migration due to its long history of out-migration and sustained efforts to harness it for economic development. However, unique historical circumstances—such as Yugoslavia’s stat…
Elusive Development
This article analyses the emergence of modern migration studies in socialist Yugoslavia and their contribution to the debate on the development effects of migration. In the mid-1960s after massive outmigration from Yugoslavia to Western Europe started, the government supported the establishment of migration studies as a new scientific field. This article argues that migration research was initially closely aligned with political agendas. Developm…

Kristen Ghodsee and Mitchell A. Orenstein
Almost overnight," the authors of this important book highlight, 400 million people in Eastern Europe and Central Asia found themselves in transition from state socialism and central planning to free markets and liberal democracy.The results of this unprecedented structural change left much to be desired.For many of these people, the 1990s were a shock in which they saw existing certainties quickly being dismantled.By the end of the decade, 45 % …
Side Effects of “Phantom Pains”
What happens if historical daydreams derail the vector of European integration? The latest round in the dispute between Bulgaria and North Macedonia provides an insight. This analysis discusses Bulgaria’s veto on European Union (EU) accession talks with North Macedonia, first declared in 2019, and its manifold consequences. Bulgaria tied its consent to North Macedonia’s accession to the EU with the country first capitulating to Bulgarian demands …
Zhivka Valiavicharska. Restless History
That the history of socialist Bulgaria is attracting ever more scholarly interest is a welcome development. For far too long, socialist-era Bulgaria has been portrayed as simply a copy of the Soviet model, ignoring important country-specific developments. Kristen Ghodsee, for example, has highlighted the significance of socialist feminism and its international outreach in the context of Bulgaria’s policies toward the “Third World.” Theodora Drago…
Introduction
Neither migrants nor minorities always behave the way their governments want them to. This reality is a lesson that Yugoslavia, in both its embodiments, frequently made—amplified by the fact that both the interwar kingdom and the post-war communist regime pursued ambitious nation-building projects. These projects addressed not only the domestic population but also emigrants coming from its territory. In a region where minority issues and migratio…
The Past, Present, and Future of Comparative History in East Central Europe and Beyond

Yugoslav Gastarbeiter and the Ambivalence of Socialism
Labour migration was a hallmark of the openness of socialist Yugoslavia towards the West. By the early 1970s, more than one million Yugoslav citizens lived abroad, two thirds of them in the Federal Republic of Germany. This article argues that the so-called Gastarbeiter (guestworkers) migration a headache for the communist regime because the Gastarbeiter embodied structural shortcomings of the economy, especially its inability to provide enough j…
The long hand of workers’ ownership
In 2012, the large Uljanik shipyard in Pula (Croatia) was finally privatized, as a result of pressure from the European Union. The new owners were the workers (and pensioners) of the shipyard. History seemed to have come full circle: thanks to ‘privatization’, a previously ‘socially owned’ Yugoslav enterprise returned once again into the hands of workers. Yet, a closer look reveals that much has changed both on the shop floor and in the business …

Political mobilization in East Central Europe
This article provides an introduction to the special thematic section on political mobilization in East Central Europe. Based on a brief presentation of the main arguments of the individual articles, the authors discuss the recent political volatility in East Central Europe. They highlight the tension between fierce political rhetoric and populist policies on the one hand, and low levels of voter turnout and overall political participation in the…
The Dynamics of Ethnicity
In the last few years the study of ethnic identities has become extremely popular among scholars dealing with the Balkans. Predictably, the main focus was laid on the nationalities of former Yugoslavia who came into the consciousness of the Western audience as archaic in-groups fighting each other. Special interest was given to the case of the Muslims in Yugoslavia, above all the Bosnians

Remembering Communism During and After Communism (review article)
In the past decade there has been a real explosion of studies on collective memory in eastern Europe. Two large themes have attracted the attention of scholars: the ongoing re-evaluations of the past after the end of communism and the memory of state socialism. These two topics were evidently related to each other in two ways: first, the communist period became an object of collective memory and many events linked to communist rule were re-evalua…

Emigration Policies and Nation-building in Interwar Yugoslavia
This article analyses the connection between emigration policies and nationalism in interwar Yugoslavia (1918–1941). It argues that Yugoslav policymakers used emigration as a means of nation-building. On the one hand, the Yugoslav state pursued long-distance nation-building by aiming to create a ‘Yugoslav diaspora’ out of the hundreds of thousands of overseas emigrants of South Slavic extraction who had left territories that in 1918 became part o…

Fertility, Families and Ethnic Conflict
In 2001, the Republic of Macedonia—the former Yugoslavia's southernmost republic—was on the brink of civil war as the ethnic Albanian “National Liberation Army” ( UÇK ) was fighting Macedonian security forces and establishing rebel control over parts of the country. The armed conflict took more than 200 lives and displaced, at one time or another, more than 100,000 people. Civil war was prevented by an agreement between the four major ethnic Mace…
Making Bulgarians Socialist
This paper discusses the activities of the Fatherland Front in communist Bulgaria. The Fatherland Front evolved from the communist-led anti-fascist coalition, which had taken power in 1944, into the largest mass organization in socialist Bulgaria, though without real political power. Since the late 1950s, its primary goal was the creation of the “socialist way of life,” which would signal the triumph of communist ideology in all walks of life. Pr…

Pro‐Serbians” vs. “Pro‐Bulgarians”
After 1990, historians in the Republic of Macedonia soon settled in accepting communist‐time scholarship as the base on which to build further research. The reluctance for a thorough re‐evaluation of communist historiography was mainly caused by the fact that the very nation of Macedonia was a result of communist Yugoslav policies, and this historiography had played a major role in the nation‐building process. Historians therefore feared that sub…
Families and mountains in the Balkans
This article investigates household structures and household formation patterns among Orthodox Christians and Muslim Bulgarians in the Rhodope Mountains between 1875 and 1935. The analysis, which is based on the computerized evaluation of household listings as well as on ethnographic sources, reveals obvious differences in the structures of Orthodox and Muslim households. Muslim households were more likely to be complex, whereas among the Orthodo…

Creating a ‘socialist way of life’
This article explores the policies of the Bulgarian socialist regime (1944–1989) towards the family. Initially, the Bulgarian Communist Party focussed on the abolition of the patriarchal family, the emancipation of women and the struggle against ‘bourgeois residues’ in family life. However, the dramatic decline of the birth rate – a result of rapid urbanization and increasing female employment – led to a re-direction of official discourse. Reprod…

A Promising Liaison? Social History and Anthropology in South-Eastern Europe. Opportunities and Pitfalls Une liaison prometteuse ? Histoire sociale et anthropologie en Europa du Sud-Est
This article argues that historical anthropology provides approaches for the exploration of previously neglected problems of the history of Southeastern Europe. Historical anthropology is not seen as a fixed set of methodologies and theories but rather as a perspective which directs attention to the questions of how societies have worked in the past and ordinary people made sense of their lives. Furthermore, historical anthropology tends to be co…
