The effects of this ongoing process range from direct intervention in the breakup of Yugoslavia to more indirect influence in its formation. This research strongly centers on previously established and well accepted theories of globalization to illustrate the consequences globalization had on Yugoslavia specifically. Throughout the research, the concept of critical globalism emerges as the prevailing method in the attempt to explain the events that took place in this region.

DOI: 10.29362/IST20VEKA.2018.1.RAD.9-34 REPUBLIKA SRPSKA KRAJINA AND THE RIGHT * OF PEOPLES TO SELF-DETERMINATION ABSTRACT: In Part I of this article author details the claims to inde- pendent statehood of Croatia and Krajina based upon the right of peoples to self-determination in the context of the emergence of nationalism as a powerful political force in Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. He also details the response of the international community to the crisis which these irreconcilable claims gave rise to. In Part II author explores the reasons why the secession of Croatia suc- ceeded and the secession of Krajina failed. Finally, the ramifications of Croa- tia’s and Krajina’s competing claims to statehood for the right of peoples to self-determination are discussed in the Conclusion. KEYWORDS: Republika Srpska Krajina, The break-up of Yugoslavia, War in Croatia 1991–1995, International Law, Self-determination, Secession, Inter-ethnic relations, National Minorities, Serbs in Croatia, Nationalism Introduction On 9 November 1989 the Berlin Wall came down. More than any other, this event of that tumultuous year symbolised the end of the Cold War and ush- ered in what Allen Buchanan has called ‘the age of secession’.1 The usual justi- fication for secessionist demands was the right of peoples to self-determination. One of the means by which this right is realised is by ‘the establishment of a sovereign and independent state’.2 The critical question for self-determination relates to the meaning of ‘peoples’.

  • The Reasons for the Collapse of Yugoslavia

There are many theories that are trying to explain why this happened. However it is extremely hard task to declare which of those theories is the most relevant. This paper is making attempt to combine the most popular and famous theories concerning the issue and to separate the most relevant aspects of each of them. Key words: Yugoslavia; collapse; theories; international system. 1. Introduction The former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) was important subject of the international community. Internally this federation was composed by six republics, and two autonomous provinces. It was country located on the historically very important geopolitical region in the Balkans. Yugoslavia dissolved in a bloody civil war in the first half of the 90's. The literature review offers a wide range of explanations for the causes that led to the breakup of the Yugoslav federation. Especially controversial are some conspiracy theories. In this respect the paper is treating the issue concerning the reasons for the collapse of Yugoslavia by reviewing the existing theory, reconsidering them and finally offering its own conclusion that the collapse should be searched equally in both inside and outside the federation.

  • Yugoslavia's History and Breakup Timeline
    1 28-06-1914 Gavrilo Princip (1894 – 1918) was a Bosnian Serb member of Young Bosna, a movement seeking an end to Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia- Herzegovina. On 28 June 1914 he assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie in Sarajevo, continuing the chain of events that would lead to the outbreak of the First World War. During his trial, he stated: “I am a Yugoslav nationalist, aiming for the unification of all Yugoslavs, and I do not care what form of state, but it must be freed from Au s t r i a .” 2 1914 - 1918 The First World War, a global war originating in Europe, lasted for four years. In the end, four empires collapsed after the conclusion of WW1: the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the German Empire and the Russian Empire. 3 1914 - 1918 The First World War, a global war originating in Europe, lasted for four years.

  • Student and Civil Protest in Belgrade and Serbia, 1996/1997 Mirjana Prosic-Dvornic Midland, MI
    The Topsy Turvy Days Were There Again: Student and Civil Protest in Belgrade and Serbia, 1996/1997 Mirjana Prosic-Dvornic Midland, MI Abstract After a long silence, university students, and hundreds of thousands of citizens, were on the streets again, protesting against the regime in Serbia. The immediate motive for the outburst of long suppressed discontent was the regime’s insolent annulment of the victory of the opposition in November 1996 local elections. In terms of duration (from November 1996 until March 1997), spread (throughout urban Serbia) and number of participants (estimated to 350,000 to 550.000), this protest was unprecedented. However, like all previous demonstrations, it failed to initiate any real, irrevocable change. Instead, the regime succeeded to channel citizens’ discontent into "safety vents", into temporary "topsy turvy" days of "Another Serbia", thus enabling once again the continuity and stability of the regime’s particular vision of society. Introduction The 1992 Student Protest in Belgrade was one of the most dynamic, articulate and creative demonstrations of "civil disobedience" that took place in "Milosevic’s Serbia" (cf. Prosic-Dvornic 1993). Despite the significance of the protest, and a desperate attempt by its participants to send a clear message that "Milosevic’s Serbia" was not the only Serbia that existed, it still failed to make big news in the world. Foreign media and its audiences were rather indifferent towards a student avant garde in Serbian civil society, that espoused the fact that there was another, different Serbia, the modern, democratic, and tolerant one in need of recognition and support. In late 1996 and early 1997, when students, joined by citizens this time, poured into the streets of major Serbian towns once again, the situation was reversed.

  • A Cross-Generational Inquiry
    Historical Remembering and Attitudes Towards the “Other”: A Cross-generational Inquiry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University By Silvia Šušnjić Master of Arts Columbia University, 2004 Director: Dennis J.D. Sandole, Professor Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution Spring Semester 2010 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright 2010 Silvia Šušnjić All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION This is dedicated to my family, friends, mentors and the people of the former Yugoslavia. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There were countless times throughout my studies that I thought of the following questions: What makes people view “Others” as evil? What kind of memories and attitudes are prevalent in defining the “Other” as evil? These questions were especially relevant in the context of the former-Yugoslavia where almost instantaneously neighbors became strangers, friends became enemies and once “good” people were now labeled as “evil” because of their accent, the names they had, or the looks they portrayed. Simple gestures, the way one spoke, even the way one displayed the number three could have at one point been grounds for harassment. This study aims to discover the reasons why certain individuals were and others were not affected by the socio-political and historic constructs created to define “other” individuals as enemies. My outmost appreciation for this project goes to my Committee Chair Dr. Dennis J.D. Sandole, who devoted much of his time to guide me throughout this project. Dr. Sandole helped me shape my dissertation ideas and always encouraged me to think outside the box in order to come up with the next “great” idea.

  • Croatia, ‘Greater Serbianism’, and the Conflict Between East and West
    2441Chapter4 16/10/02 8:04 am Page 98 4 Croatia, ‘Greater Serbianism’, and the conflict between East and West Christ’s remarkable principle: ‘Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that use and persecute you.’ That selfless sentiment has remained throughout history a cry of the weak, or an expression of those who have accepted their doom . No matter how many exam- ples can be found in life and history to support such renunciation, it has never overcome the passions of hatred and the desire to dominate or to take revenge. (Franjo Tudjman, Horrors of War) ERBIA WAS CERTAINLY not alone in its revision of history, nor in its use of national mythology. The Croatian government also saw the merits of Sreinterpreting history to buttress their own political objectives. Many of Croatia’s most interesting national myths were created well before the collapse of Yugoslavia. Franjo Tudjman’s rise to power in 1990, and the even- tual independence of Croatia, after almost five decades of Communist federalism, engendered a fertile climate for national myth creation. Croatia’s national propaganda evolved within an authoritarian context, and many of the central themes favoured by Croatian writers were similar to those advanced by their Serbian counterparts. The spectre of ‘Greater Serbia’ – which became likened to an anti-Semitism for Croats – was remarkably similar to Serbophobia. Many other myths appeared to be a reaction to a fear and strong distrust of the Serbs. Several, like the ‘state right’ tradition, the Antemurale Christianitatis, and Medjugorje, proved the existence of a civilised, peace-loving and enlightened Croatia.

    Model(ing) Law: The ICTY, the International Criminal Justice Template, and Reconciliation in the Former Yugoslavia By Kerstin Bree Carlson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Malcolm Feeley, Chair Professor Ronelle Alexander Professor Kristin Luker Professor Martin Shapiro Fall 2013 Abstract Model(ing) Law: The ICTY, the International Criminal Justice Template, and Reconciliation in the Former Yugoslavia By Kerstin Bree Carlson Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair My project uses the case study of the ICTY and reconciliation in the Balkans to address the larger topic of the capacity of international criminal tribunals (ICTs) as transitional justice mechanisms. I argue that the ICTY operates under the (flawed) received wisdom of the IMT at Nuremberg, what I term the international criminal justice template. This template accords three transitional justice functions for ICTs beyond (and in conjunction with) their central judicial aim of adjudicating cases: as (1) articulators of progressive criminal law (2) historians and (3) reconcilers or storytellers. My examination of the ICTY through each category illustrates that obstacles to the ICTY's role as a transitional justice mechanism are structural, and relate to the absence of a discursive loop between sovereign and governed. This discursive loop, present at domestic law, accounts for the capacity of domestic courts to perform the tasks identified by law and society scholars as central to courts, namely the capacity to act as constitutive social agents as well as the capacity to exert social control.

  • Yugoslav Wars 1991-1999 and Some of Their Social Consequences
    PART I WAR AND LOSSES Yugoslav Wars 1991-1999 and Some of Their Social Consequences Borislav Radovic (Translated by Jelena Antonijevic) Abstract This paper primarily intends to provide a brief introduction into the causes, chronology and context of the Yugoslav wars 1991 – 1999. It is worth mentioning that this overview has been inevitably abridged, since Yugoslav wars, due to their extreme complexity and tremendous abundance of events, require a separate extensive study. The second part of the paper attempts to point out the specific features of Yugoslav wars, which distinguish them from other wars, which is a widespread practice of ethnic cleansing, great number of improvised prison camps and places of detention and strong reliance on paramilitary formations by all warring sides. Third part represents an attempt to determine the correct number of those killed and missing in the Yugoslav wars. This chapter stresses the difficulties of establishing correct numbers, not only because incomplete and often conflicting material sources, but also due to political manipulations with the number of casualties. Therefore this paper ends with an appeal to finally determine the exact number of casualties, not only for the sake of numeric end to the Yugoslav wars and prevention of various manipulations, but also for the sake of piety and respect for the victims. 25 TORTURE IN WAR: CONSEQUENCES AND REHABILITATION OF VICTIMS POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION INTO THE WARS IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA 1991-1999 There is a variety of conflicting opinions about the causes of disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Besides, there are opposing views regarding whether the disintegration of this state was inevitable or it could have been avoided.
