Yugoslav Destruction After the Cold War
STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR A dissertation presented by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2015 STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December 2015 2 Abstract This research investigates the causes of Yugoslavia’s violent destruction in the 1990’s. It builds its argument on the interaction of international and domestic factors. In doing so, it details the origins of Yugoslav ideology as a fluid concept rooted in the early 19th century Croatian national movement. Tracing the evolving nationalist competition among Serbs and Croats, it demonstrates inherent contradictions of the Yugoslav project. These contradictions resulted in ethnic outbidding among Croatian nationalists and communists against the perceived Serbian hegemony. This dynamic drove the gradual erosion of Yugoslav state capacity during Cold War. The end of Cold War coincided with the height of internal Yugoslav conflict. Managing the collapse of Soviet Union and communism imposed both strategic and normative imperatives on the Western allies. These imperatives largely determined external policy toward Yugoslavia. They incentivized and inhibited domestic actors in pursuit of their goals. The result was the collapse of the country with varying degrees of violence. The findings support further research on international causes of civil wars. -

Immigrants in Early 1980S
UDK: 811.163.6 323.1(497.4)"1982'' Izvorni znanstveni članak Received: July 17, 2017 Accepted: June 21, 2018 DOI: https://doi.org/10.22586/review.v15i1.9743 THE LANGUAGE TRIBUNAL DEBATE IN 1982: PERCEPTIONS OF SLOVENIAN LANGUAGE AND “YUGOSLAV” IMMIGRANTS IN EARLY 1980S Marko ZAJC* The article deals with a public debate on the institute of Jezikovno razsodišče (Linguistic Tribunal) after the Cankarjev dom incident that occurred on 22 March 1982. The first public pan-Yugoslavian debate about the nature of the Slovenian nationalism in 1980s mer- ged the problem with the use of the Slovenian language and that of the position of immigrants who had come to the Socialist Republic of Slovenia from other Yugoslavian republics into a dangerous blend of linguistic, cultural, economic and political disagreement. Keywords: Yugoslavism, 1980s, Slovenian language, nationalism, SFRY The context of the citizenship, language and migration in socialist Slovenia In post-1945 Yugoslavia, already the first law on citizenship established a two-tier or bifurcated citizenship. Every citizen of individual republic was si- multaneously a citizen of Yugoslavia and every citizen of Yugoslavia was in principle a citizen of individual republic. Yugoslav citizens were allowed to have only one, clearly established republican citizenship. The republic-level ci- tizenships of the constitutive republics were established on the basis of muni- cipal membership. On the other hand, every citizen of any Yugoslav republic enjoyed in every republic the same rights as the citizens of that republic.1 The- se principles were – in general – adopted also by constitutions to follow (1963, 1974).2 According to the last Yugoslav constitution (1974), every citizen auto- * Marko Zajc, Ph. -

Contextualizing an 18 Century Ottoman Elite: Şerđf Halđl Paşa of Şumnu and His Patronage
CONTEXTUALIZING AN 18TH CENTURY OTTOMAN ELITE: ŞERĐF HALĐL PAŞA OF ŞUMNU AND HIS PATRONAGE by AHMET BĐLALOĞLU Submitted to the Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Sabancı University 2011 CONTEXTUALIZING AN 18TH CENTURY OTTOMAN ELITE: ŞERĐF HALĐL PAŞA OF ŞUMNU AND HIS PATRONAGE APPROVED BY: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tülay Artan …………………………. (Dissertation Supervisor) Assist. Prof. Dr. Hülya Adak …………………………. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bratislav Pantelic …………………………. DATE OF APPROVAL: 8 SEPTEMBER 2011 © Ahmet Bilaloğlu, 2011 All rights Reserved ABSTRACT CONTEXTUALIZING AN 18 TH CENTURY OTTOMAN ELITE: ŞERĐF HALĐL PAŞA OF ŞUMNU AND HIS PATRONAGE Ahmet Bilaloğlu History, MA Thesis, 2011 Thesis Supervisor: Tülay Artan Keywords: Şumnu, Şerif Halil Paşa, Tombul Mosque, Şumnu library. The fundamental aim of this thesis is to present the career of Şerif Halil Paşa of Şumnu who has only been mentioned in scholarly research due to the socio-religious complex that he commissioned in his hometown. Furthermore, it is aimed to portray Şerif Halil within a larger circle of elites and their common interests in the first half of the 18 th century. For the study, various chronicles, archival records and biographical dictionaries have been used as primary sources. The vakıfnâme of the socio-religious complex of Şerif Halil proved to be a rare example which included some valuable biographical facts about the patron. Apart from the official posts that Şerif Halil Paşa occupied in the Defterhâne and the Divânhâne , this study attempts to render his patronage of architecture as well as his intellectual interests such as calligraphy and literature. -
