This books main aim is to explore the history of the Yugoslav idea, or Yugoslavism, between the states 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.

"The Rise and Fall of Communist Yugoslavism: Soft Nation-Building in Yugoslavia examines how the Communist Party of Yugoslavia incorporated the idea of a Yugoslav nation into their ideology and created the Yugoslav Soft Nation-Building project after the Second World War. With an innovative approach of researching three levels of research (from above, from below and from the viewpoint of interethnic relations) the book brings forward an original concept of soft nation-building, with a focus on the Slovenian-Yugoslav dimension. Drawing on archival sources from Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Belgrade, the author argues that after the abandonment of the Yugoslav national idea, two Yugoslavisms were created in the mid-1960s. State-based socialist Yugoslavism was propagated by the Party and had no ethnic connotations, only a small proportion of the population identified themselves as "Yugoslav" in national terms. The created vacuum was filled by old national identities. The book is of interest to specialists and advanced students of cultural and intellectual history, studies of nationalism, but also history of science and institutions and the history of everyday life. The book aims to appeal to scholars of Balkan, South-East European and Yugoslav history"--

Created after World War I, 'Yugoslavia' was a combination of ethnically, religiously, and linguistically diverse but connected South Slav peoples - Slovenes, Croats and Serbs but also Bosnian Muslims, Macedonians, and Montenegrins - in addition to non-Slav minorities. The Great Powers and the country's intellectual and political elites believed that a coherent identity could be formed in which the different South Slav groups in the state could identify with a single Balkan Yugoslav identity. Pieter Troch draws on previously unpublished sources from the domain of education to show how the state's nationalities policy initially allowed for a flexible and inclusive Yugoslav nationhood, and how that system was slowly replaced with a more domineering and rigid 'top-down' nationalism during the dictatorship of King Alexander I - who banned political parties and coded a strongly politicised Yugoslav national identity. As Yugoslav society became increasingly split between the 'pro-Yugoslav' central regime and 'anti-Yugoslav' opposition, the seeds were sown for the failure of the Yugoslav idea. Nationalism and Yugoslavia provides a valuable new insight into the complexities of pre-war Yugoslavia.

In the first postwar years, the CPY followed Lenin's thesis on the merging of the nations, which they emphasized in their speeches. However, the merging would occur only after the nations would reach the same level of development. After the Tito-Stalin split in 1948, the Yugoslav soft nation-building project was accelerated. During the 1950s, the soft nation-building process was latently stimulated through language, culture, censuses, and changes in the constitutional and socialist system. The idea of national or ethnic Yugoslavism reached a climax during the VII. Congress of League of Communists of Yugoslavia in 1958 and with some intellectuals that defined the Yugoslav ethnic community. In 1964 the Party abandoned the idea of a melting pot. This turning point was visible in the ideological shift of the Party's chief ideologue Edvard Kardelj. A redefinition of the socialist Yugoslavism followed in the mid-1960s, without ethnic or national connotations. Two Yugoslavisms were created: a socialist one propagated by the Party and a national one that lived among the population in small proportions. The latter constantly pressured the Party via the Yugoslav media and by sending letters advocating for their rights. Since the early-1960s the Party also extensively financed the newly established research field of interethnic relations. The main role in the field was played by the Institute of Ethnic studies in Ljubljana and the Institute of Social Sciences in Belgrade. Both institutions were used as a political tool: the first one as a bulwark of Slovenian national rights and the second as the advocate of the merging of nations. Due to the reforms of the Yugoslav system in the 1960s Yugoslavs were never recognized as a nation. Consequently, the abandonment led to several national revivals in Yugoslavia. The census of 1971 presented a confrontation between national Yugoslavs and the Party, regarding the Yugoslav category.

"Drapac charts the changing nature of the Yugoslav ideal, demonstrating why Yugoslavism was championed at different times, and by whom. The author also explores why successive attempts at forging a Yugoslav nation have failed, and why, despite this, the idea of a Yugoslav synthesis retained its appeal internationally even as the state was imploding"--Provided by publisher.

Twentieth-century Southeastern Europe endured three, separate decades of international and civil war, and was marred in forced migration and wrenching systematic changes. This book is the result of a year-long project by the Open Society Institute to examine and reappraise this tumultuous century. A cohort of young scholars with backgrounds in history, anthropology, political science, and comparative literature were brought together for this undertaking. The studies invite attention to fascism, socialism, and liberalism as well as nationalism and Communism. While most chapters deal with war and confrontation, they focus rather on the remembrance of such conflicts in shaping today's ideology and national identity.

Notwithstanding the advantages of physical power, the struggle for survival among societies is not merely a matter of serial armed clashes but of the nation's spiritual resources that in the end always decide upon the victory. In Europe, there indeed exist independent countries, insignificant from the point of view of the entire civilization, and born by sheer coincidence, yet, this coincidence, this fancy, or diplomatic ploy that created them can just as easily bring them to an end---the nations that count in the political calculations are only the enlightened ones. Therefore, our nation should not merely grow in power, strengthen its character, and foster in people the feeling of love for homeland, but also---inasmuch as it is possible---breath the fresh breeze of humanity's general progress, feed it to the nation, absorb its creative energy. Until now, we have trusted and lived only in the weary conditions, conditions devoid of health-giving elements---now, as a result the nation's heart beats too slowly and its mind works too tediously. We ought to open our windows to Europe, to the wind of continental change and allow it to air our sultry home, since as not all health comes from the inside, not all disease comes from the outside.

From various consciously taken or unconsciously held ideological positions (ranging from anarchic sentiments, liberalism, to right-wing nationalism), the whole ideological structure of the regime came under attack in the second half of the 1980s. The undermining of the anti-fascist struggle narrative went hand in hand with denouncing the inferiority of self-management as opposed to consumer-oriented liberal capitalism. The practice of centrifugal federalism, the federalization of the Party, the progressive decentralization in economy, industry, culture, media, science and education, the redefinition of Yugoslavism in less cultural, less national and less political terms and the perception of Yugoslavia not as a state but more and more as a 'community', 'organization' or 'conglomerate' - all occurring in Yugoslavia from mid-1960s at a sometimes vertiginous pace - seem to be interactive parts of the same puzzle. One could even argue that the decentralization of the federal state and the Party would have never occurred, could have never been conceptualized and could have never gained enough political support without the simultaneous abandonment of the traditionally 'centripetal' idea of South-Slavic cultural and political unity. This chapter shows how one moves from the narrative of 'brotherhood and unity' to the narrative of conflicts, disunity and enmity. Yugoslav communists thought, as Sabrina Ramet summarizes, that they had found a solution to the national question in the proportionality in the federal organs (not present in the army), in the ethnic quota system (not applied in Kosovo and not always in Croatia and Bosnia), in massive decentralization to the point of confederalization, in the mythology of partisan struggle, in international success and in the charisma of Tito (1992: 278). As for the old wartime promise of social emancipation, the answer was the Yugoslav strain of self-managing socialism. If the partisan mythology was intensively deconstructed in the 1980s and the system of self-management did not yield much enthusiasm any more - the economic and debt crisis was increasingly seen as a crisis of self-management as a political-economic system as such - one could say that there was still a cultural-historic argument embodied in Yugoslavism as a narrative of identity and belonging of citizens to the common state. But, alas, by the 1980s, it had lost much of its political influence and proved incapable of yet another reincarnation that could have mobilized political spirits and imagination. From various consciously taken or unconsciously held ideological positions (ranging from anarchic sentiments, liberalism to right-wing nationalism), the whole ideological structure of the regime came under attack in the second half of the 1980s. The undermining of the anti-fascist struggle narrative went hand in hand with denouncing the inferiority of self-management as opposed to consumer-oriented liberal capitalism. The attack on historical legacy and the regime's very ideology entailed a further weakening of Yugoslavism. However, back then the relationship to Yugoslavia as identity and project varied from one republic to another, from one generation to another and heavily depended on the concrete political processes (and their perception). One could even argue that the decentralization of the federal state and the Party would have never occurred, could have never been conceptualized and could have never gained enough political support without the simultaneous abandonment of the traditionally 'centripetal' idea of South-Slavic cultural and political unity. The practice of centrifugal federalism, the federalization of the Party, the progressive decentralization of the economy, industry, culture, media, science and education, the redefinition of Yugoslavism in less cultural, less national and less political terms and the perception of Yugoslavia not as a state but more and more so as a 'community', 'organization' or 'conglomerate' - all occurring in Yugoslavia from mid-1960s at a sometimes vertiginous pace - seem to be interactive parts of the same puzzle. Nevertheless, immediately after the war it appeared that resurrected Yugoslavia and strong patriotism of the national-liberation struggle had given a new impetus to Yugoslavism - this time in a federalist form meant to dissociate the idea from the bitter experiences of pre-war unitarism. Although Yugoslavism itself went through curious re-definitions and had to compete with communist internationalism between 1945 and 1948, socialist nation-building Yugoslavism would be seen and promoted throughout the 1950s as something of uncontested worth. Having described earlier the birth and evolution of Yugoslavism between the mid-nineteenth century and the Second World War, we should recount here its last chapters.

Why did Yugoslavia fall apart? Was its violent demise inevitable? Did its population simply fall victim to the lure of nationalism? How did this multinational state survive for so long, and where do we situate the short life of Yugoslavia in the long history of Europe in the twentieth century? A History of Yugoslavia provides a concise, accessible, comprehensive synthesis of the political, cultural, social, and economic life of Yugoslavia—from its nineteenth-century South Slavic origins to the bloody demise of the multinational state of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Calic takes a fresh and innovative look at the colorful, multifaceted, and complex history of Yugoslavia, emphasizing major social, economic, and intellectual changes from the turn of the twentieth century and the transition to modern industrialized mass society. She traces the origins of ethnic, religious, and cultural divisions, applying the latest social science approaches, and drawing on the breadth of recent state-of-the-art literature, to present a balanced interpretation of events that takes into account the differing perceptions and interests of the actors involved. Uniquely, Calic frames the history of Yugoslavia for readers as an essentially open-ended process, undertaken from a variety of different regional perspectives with varied composite agenda. She shuns traditional, deterministic explanations that notorious Balkan hatreds or any other kind of exceptionalism are to blame for Yugoslavia’s demise, and along the way she highlights the agency of twentieth-century modern mass society in the politicization of differences. While analyzing nuanced political and social-economic processes, Calic describes the experiences and emotions of ordinary people in a vivid way. As a result, her groundbreaking work provides scholars and learned readers alike with an accessible, trenchant, and authoritative introduction to Yugoslavia's complex history.
