CHAPTER 8: THE ECHOES OF YUGOSLAVIA: HOW DID THE POST-YUGOSLAV STATES FARE AND DOES THE YUGOSLAV CASE HOLD ANY RELEVANCE IN THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT?
This is an important study which complements the existing arguments and what some have embraced as definite explanations of the Yugoslav drama. By reviewing the voluminous literature and pointing the finger at problematic academic agendas, the authors unpack a whole range of dilemmas and discrepancies, but also invite new contributions. Moreover, the complex Yugoslav puzzle is of great relevance for assessments of the current European context, either in terms of lessons learnt or disintegrationist tendencies characterizing the European project.
