Summary

Josip Glaurdić: Time of Europe. Western Powers and the Disintegration of Yugoslavia

Josip Glaurdić's book reminds us of the time we lived twenty years ago, which left a deep mark on the feelings and viewpoints of many people in Croatia and neighboring countries. The author supported his work not only with a very large number of secondary sources, but also with original materials from key archives that only recently became available to the public. He used documents from the British Foreign Office, Mr. Bush's government, and interviewed 42 former diplomats and policy "makers" from the former Yugoslavia or from Western countries. The author traces the disintegration of the Yugoslav state through the prism of economic and other difficulties after Tito's death, and deals with the rise and activities of Slobodan Milošević. In the book, he presents a new view of the end of the Cold War in Europe. On the one hand, the conditions of the cold war – i.e. external threats, acted from an internal perspective on the maintenance of Yugoslavia; on the other hand, Yugoslavia's special inter-bloc position during the Cold War gave the country importance on the international level, and enabled it to maintain its standard of living thanks largely to Western aid (loans, etc.). Glaurdić identifies the roots of this conflict in the different preferences of the Western powers regarding the role of a united Germany, Eastern Europe, and foreign and security policy in the future of European integration.
