Summary
Dejan Jović: Yugoslavia - a state that died The rise, crisis and fall of Kardel's Yugoslavia (1974-1980)
The publication is written in a scientific-popular style, with the use of archival sources and historical material and quoting the main actors of the "Yugoslav drama" (1974-1990). Author Dejan Jović explains to the readers the ideological, economic, ethnic, cultural, legal and other reasons why Yugoslavia as an ideocratic creation - died.
"For many of us who witnessed the time described in this book, the breakup of Yugoslavia was an important, perhaps even defining event. It divides time into "before" and "after" it, regardless of what memories we had of the first and what of the second of those two periods. All collective identities and almost all personal identities in the post-Yugoslav space cannot be defined without taking into account that event. The main goal of this book was to explain why it happened in the first place. With the use of archival sources and historical material, Dejan Jović explained to the readers the ideological, economic, cultural, legal and other reasons why Yugoslavia as one ideological and ideocratic creation simply - died".
