State Collapse in South-Eastern Europe: New Perspectives on Yugoslavia's Disintegration

State Collapse in South-Eastern Europe: New Perspectives on Yugoslavia's Disintegration is a multidisciplinary volume exploring the historical antecedents and the dynamic process of Yugoslavia's violent dissolution, drawing upon the most recently available resources. Cohen and Dragovic-Soso have collected articles from a stellar group of scholars to update, enhance, and when necessary revise explanations that have already been offered for Yugoslavia's collapse. Moreover, fifteen years after the Yugoslav crisis, the volume fills in the "blank spots" in the historical record. This careful reevaluation of Yugoslavia's dissolution provides needed assistance to policy makers who are routinely faced with the challenge of forging or rebuilding coherent, stable, and democratic state institutions in deeply divided societies.
