"The Road to War in Serbia is the first serious attempt by scholars from the former Yugoslavia to systematically explore the roots of the conflict and the ideology and propaganda that incited Serbian people to war. Based on years of research, the authors-all eminent scholars of their respective fields, who have lived through these social conflicts-highlight key issues which have date remained unknown or which have been previously neglected." "The issues dealt with include the institutional frameworks of ethnicity and nationalism; the input of the church, science, literature and sports; specific catalysts of the conflict, and the role of the political actors, students, the ruling party and the media." "The Road to War in Serbia will help to understand why and how the violent option of settling disputes and conflicts on the territory of Yugoslavia is being accepted."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

First Published in 1996. What series on Contemporary Issues in European Politics could leave out the conflict in the former Yugoslavia? The Balkan tragedy has dominated the reporting of European news more consistently than any other single development since the end of the Cold War. In proportion to its implications for peace and stability in Europe, the violent disintegration of the Yugoslav has also produced a strong body of scholarly investigations into the origins of its continuing abominations. The South Slav Conflict is unique among these by virtue of its thoroughly interdisciplinary approach to the causes and consequences of the war. The book’s great strength begins with its forthright assertion that no serious attempt to explain the current cycle of genocide and revenge among Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians can avoid the inherent complexity of the factors that transformed Yugoslavia from one of the most pluralist of European communist states into a theater of human misery.
