About the Book

This work aims to explore the history of the Yugoslav idea, or "Yugoslavism", between the state's existence creation in 1918 and its dissolution in the early 1990s. The key theme that emerges is that Yugoslavism was a fluid concept, understood differently at different times by different Yugoslav nations, leaders and social groups. There was no single definition of who and what was (or was not) "Yugoslav" and this perhaps indirectly contributed to the ultimate failure of the Yugoslav idea and with it the Yugoslav state. The volume presents a specially-commissioned collection of essays which is divided into five sections: "Context"; "Nations"; "Leaders and Institutions"; "Intellectuals"; and "Alternatives".

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Context: the Yugoslav idea before Yugoslavia, D. Rusinow; the First World War and the unification of Yugoslavia, K. St. Pavlowitch; the Yugoslav question and international diplomacy, 1914-1920, A. Mitrovic. Part 2 Nations: Serbia, Montenegro, and Yugoslavia, S.K. Pavlowitch; the Croats and Yugoslavism, T. Cipek; Slovenia's Yugoslav century, M. Velikonja; Bosnian Muslims and the Yugoslav idea, X. Bougarel; Macedonians and Albanians as Yugoslavs, H. Poulton. Part 3 Leaders and institutions: (dis)integrating Yugoslavia -King Alexander and the Yugoslavism of the inter-war years, D. Djokic; Yugoslavism and Yugoslavia's communism - from Tito to Kardelj, D. Jovic; the two Yugoslavia's as economic unions - promise and problems, J.R. Lampe; Yugoslavism and Yugoslavia's religious communities, R. Radic; the military and Yugoslav unity, M. Bjelajac. Part 4 Intellectuals: south Slav intellectuals and the creation of Yugoslavia, L. Trgovcevic; Ivan, Mestrovic, Ivo Andric and the synthetic Yugoslav culture of the inter-war period, A.B.
