Ramet that appeared in special issues of Südosteuropa 55 (2007), and Nationalities Papers 32/4 (December 2004), which was subsequently republished in Thomas Emmert and Charles Ingrao, eds., Conflict in Southeastern Europe at the End of the Twentieth Century: A Scholars’ Initiative (New York & London: Routledge, 2006). The National Endowment for Democracy provided funds for individual re- search conducted by Dejan Jović. In writing the final draft Andrew Wachtel focused on the preconditions and causes of Yugoslavia’s dissolution, Chris- topher Bennett on the complex chronology of the breakup. The team benefited from the earlier leadership of Lenard Cohen and Jasna Dragović-Soso (2001-2004), and Sabrina Ramet (2004-2008), as well as from extensive comment and criticism during project-wide reviews in March-April 2004 and January 2005, from the four anonymous outside ref- erees engaged by the publishers in 2007-2008, and by several team mem- bers who assisted in addressing their concerns in the final draft published here.
