Ethnic Cleavages and Conflict

<p>First published in 1997 this volume explores ethnic conflict alongside the creation and disintegration of the short-lived Yugoslav state 17 years after the death of Tito. Processes of democratization tend to elicit differences within the population along deep-seated ethnic religious and cultural differences. Dr. Gojko Vuekovic argues that the situation is no different in post-Cold War Yugoslavia. By setting out Yugoslavia’s worst-case scenario of ethnic tensions Dr. Vuekovic hopes to inform responses to ethnic conflict in the wider modern world.</p>
