These corres­ ponded in main to the regions inhabited by the five major nationalities of Yugoslavia, the exception being Bosnia-Hercegovina where Serbs, Croats, and Slav Moslems are intricately mixed. This was a legalistic fiction; the reality was a centralist and authoritarian Communist government. As with its Soviet model, all power lay in the hands of the Communist Party. However, a crucial event diverted Yugoslavia from Stalinism. In 1948, Stalin, suspicious of Tito's power and independence, expelled Yugoslavia from the Cominform. Contrary to all expectations East and West, Tito refused to cave in and was furthermore able to preserve Yugo­ slavia's position outside the Communist bloc. Tito's success was due in large part to the ability of the Yugoslav Communists to innovate and the internal strength of the party, which was unique in Eastern Europe in that it owed no debt to Soviet arms or largesse. In order to justify themselves ideologically to their own Party and to differentiate their regime from the Soviet Union, the Yugoslav Party has effected a 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

The seminal innovation was the institution of Workers' Self- Management of 1950 whereby the management of the indivi­ dual enterprises was turned over to workers' councils, the state proclaiming that the means of production were to be "socially owned." The Stalinist system of subor­ dinating economic criteria to administrative criteria was whittled away. This inevitably included in decision­ making non-Party technicians, whose main concerns were economic rath r than political. As a concomitant of economic decentralization, the Party announced that the proper road to socialism lay in both the state and Party "withering away," which was to be effected through decen­ tralization. However, decentralization in the Party was lethargic, lagging behind that of the economic sphere. Intraparty resistance blocked many proposed reforms and, in general, conservatives retained a strong voice in Party affairs. By the early 1960's Yugoslavia had proven its ability to survive and trade with both blocs, but its political survival was far more debatable. The Party had become far out of step with the increased freedom in the economic sphere. A worsening trade position forced far-reaching Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

In 1966 the divergence between liberals, led by those committed to the reforms, and the conservatives came to a crisis. Aleksander Rankovich, Tito's heir-apparent and the leading conser­ vative, was purged. The concepts of self-management and decentralization have begun to acquire real meaning within the Party since his ouster, and the range of per­ missible criticism has appreciably broadened. Decen­ tralization gave increased power to the parties of the republics. The problems posed by their growing indepen­ dence appear to have been finally faced at the Ninth Congress of 1969. The Ninth Congress marks a major transformation of the Party, both in personnel and in structure. The new institutions set up by the Congress represent an attempt to accommodate the growing pluralism within the Party structure. Decentralization has also served to revive the nationality problem, an ever-present facet of Yugoslav life. Essentially, any consensus politics in the country depends on the support of several nationalities, as not one holds a numerical majority. In essence, the govern­ ment's function is to effect a balance among the nation­ alities which will not threaten the fragile unity of the country. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

I intend to concentrate my examination of the changes within the League of Communists on the last crucial years, from the ouster of Rankovich to the Ninth Congress. No study of Yugoslavia can be properly made without considering the grave threat posed by national antagonisms, and thestresses these place on the Party. Therefore, national rivalries, and the economic decen­ tralization which has served to reinforce nationalism, will also receive much attention. Because of the problems involved in writing Serbo-

  • Clitic Placement, Syntactic Discontinuity and Information Structure
    CLITIC PLACEMENT, SYNTACTIC DISCONTINUITY AND INFORMATION STRUCTURE Damir Cavar and Melanie Seiss Eastern Michigan University Universität Konstanz Proceedings of the LFG11 Conference Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King (Editors) 2011 CSLI Publications http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/ Abstract The phenomenon of so-called second position clitics has received con- siderable attention in the linguistic literature, and some proposed analyses of the phenomenon have suggested major architectural changes to linguistic theories. In this paper, we look at second position clitics in New-Shtokavian, their syntactic and prosodic properties, and propose a purely syntactic clitic placement analysis. We show that the complex data can be accounted for by an analysis of split constituents and their resulting information structure differences with a simple prosody-syntax interface. 1 Introduction The phenomenon of so-called second position clitics (2PC) in particular in Slavic languages has received considerable attention in the linguistic literature over the last decades. Some proposed analyses of the phenomenon have led to major ar- chitectural changes to linguistic theories, and new powerful mechanisms, which for many appeared unnecessary and unmotivated, leading to wrong predictions and over-generation. In this paper, we look at second position clitics in New- Shtokavian (NSh), their syntactic and prosodic properties, and propose a purely syntactic clitic placement analysis. NSh in the ije-kavian variant currently represents the Croatian standard language, while the i- and e-kavian variants are spoken in e.g. Bosnia– Herzegovina and Serbia respectively. The examples discussed in the following are from the NSh variant spoken in Croatia.1 The problem we are concerned with in this paper is illustrated by the exam- ples in (1).

  • Our Debt to Mary Wollstonecraft, Moral and Intellectual Pioneer for Women
    Our Debt to Mary Wollstonecraft, Moral and Intellectual Pioneer for Women By Susan Roberts I teach a course entitled Leadership in Writing at the United States Coast Guard Academy that includes both male and female Officer Candidates. The women in my class are strong and unafraid to accept challenges. They perform jobs often seen as men’s work, live by the Coast Guard’s Core Values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty, and balance their time between being on active duty and being wife, mother, or both. In our classes, we focus on examples of leadership in the military and civilian world. To mark Women’s History Month in March, I asked each Officer Candidate (OC) to select a female who exemplifies leadership and to present a speech about her. Their choices included Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sarah Palin, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Boudicca, Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, Sally Ride, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony, Mother Teresa, and Marie Curie. I responded by noting, “I see no one has claimed Mary Wollstonecraft.” A few moments of silence were followed by a series of questions: “Who is she?” “Is she in politics?” “Is she a writer?” “Why did you expect us to know her name?” and “Did she have anything to do with the Coast Guard?” I responded, “She was an eighteenth century writer. Women today owe her a debt of gratitude for we are beneficiaries of her ideas, which were quite revolutionary for her times. She advocated moral and intellectual education for women in a world where a woman’s voice rarely counted.” One of the handful of female OCs in class was curious enough to claim Wollstonecraft as the figure for her leadership speech, and all of the students were introduced to the life of this woman, the social changes she called for over two hundred years ago, and the impact of her work on opportunities for women then and now.

  • Farming As a Way of Life: Yugoslav Peasant Attitudes
    JOEL M. HALPERN Farming as a Way of Life: Yugoslav Peasant A t titudes The village and the city, the farm and the factory, the developers and the developed-these are the too frequently evoked dualities used to de- scribe some of the complex processes of change being acted out in our time.' In those countries which have experienced the major portion of their industrialization since World War 11, we cannot easily draw any firm lines separating villager from urbanite because they are both chang- ing, although not always at the same rate or in identical ways. The pre-industrial city which served as an administrative market and religious center, or a combination of these, has undergone enormous changes, but the continuity with the past has usually been more clearly This essay draws on two of my articles published earlier: "Yugoslav Peasant Society in Transition-Stability in Change," Anthropological Quarterly, XXXVI (July, 1963) and "Peasant Culture and Urbanization in Yugoslavia," Human Organization, XMV:2 (Summer, 1965). It is based on research carried out in Yugoslavia during 1961-1962 and in the summer of 1964, supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and counterpart funds from the Depart- ment of State. The present discussion includes a preliminary survey of some of the field data, a more complete analysis of which will be published later. Part of the field data was gathered by Yugoslav students, with organizational support from university authorities in Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, and Sarajevo. Vida and Theodore Tarnovsky assisted in the United States, and helpful comments on a preliminary version of the essay were received from Dimitri Shimkin and Jozo Tomasevich.

During the Second World War, the KPJ managed to seize power and restore Yugoslavia thanks to its practical application of antifascism. Ater the war, antifascism was entirely ignored, and the war was interpreted exclusively as a people’s liberation struggle and socialist revolution. Public use of the term antifascism returned during the collapse of communism and the disintegration of Yugoslavia from 1990 to 1992. Moving away from the structures associated with the former ruling communist elite (members of the Communist Party and Partisan war veterans), antifascism imposed itself as a component of democratic ideology that could not be subjected to scrutiny, rather it had to be unquestioningly accepted. Historical antifascism served the communists to exploit non-communists to then seize authority, while contemporary “antifascism” serves their direct and ideological heirs to prevent a re-examination of communist crimes and the undemocratic character of socialist Yugoslavia.

It was a conflict between democratizing states, which does not rebuke democratic peace theory, but it does challenge it because events in former Yugoslavia show that democratic elections – and they are conditio sine qua non of democracy – do not prevent wars. Key words: democratic peace, Yugoslavia, war, elections, democratization. “When will this democracy pass, so that we can live like human beings once again?” (graffiti in Sarajevo during the War) Introduction According to Levy (1989:88), the proposition that democracies seldom, if ever, go to war against one another is “the closest thing we have to an empirical law in the stu- dy of international relations”. Similarly, according to Muravchik (1991:8), “the more democratic the world, the more peaceful it is likely to be. Various researchers have shown that war between democracies has almost never occurred in the modern world”. If above statements are correct, the democratic peace theory has practical significance. If democracies never go to war with one another, then the best prescription for interna- tional peace may be to encourage the spread of democracy.

THE POLITICIZATION OF ETHNICITY AS A PRELUDE TO ETHNOPOLITICAL CONFLICT: CROATIA AND SERBIA IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA Agneza Bozic-Roberson, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2001 This interdisciplinary research develops a framework or a model for the study of the politicization of ethnicity, a process that transforms peaceful ethnic conflict into violent inter-ethnic conflict. The hypothesis investigated in this study is that the ethnopolitical conflict that led to the break up of former Yugoslavia was the result of deliberate politicization of ethnicity.
