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.

  • Developmental State? a Comparative Analysis: Japan and Croatia
    Dissertation Titel der Dissertation Quo vadis, developmental state? A comparative analysis: Japan and Croatia Verfasserin Mag.rer.soc.oec. Maja Šoštarić Angestrebter akademischer Grad Dr.phil. Wien, im April 2009 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 092 300 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Politikwissenschaft Betreuer: Univ. Prof. Dr. Ulrich Brand To my mother and my very best friend, who made me believe that “there’s no such place as far away” Preface and acknowledgements Although I am a graduate in economics, I have always been interested in political science and international affairs. After having graduated in June 2007, I was admitted to Diplomatic Academy of Vienna. Moreover, during summer 2007, I first considered enrolling into a doctoral programme in political science in order to broaden my knowledge in international politics and international relations. Still, I have never wanted to write exclusively about a subject in the field of political science, but rather, my wish was to link the dissertation subject to the knowledge of economics I had already acquired. Actually, political economy caught my interest during my undergraduate studies. I heard about the notion of developmental state for the first time while studying for a Magister in economics, during a class on international economics and development. I knew immediately that I wanted to know more about it. At the same time, I started learning Japanese in 2006 and was absolutely fascinated by the language, and, generally, by Japan’s politics, economics and culture. Hence, for my dissertation topic I decided to merge all subjects I am passionate about in a unique study: political science, economics, Japan, and finally, my own home country, Croatia.

  • A Utopian in the Balkans
    REVIEWS Darko Suvin, Splendour, Misery and Possibilities: An X-Ray of Socialist Yugoslavia, foreword by Fredric Jameson Haymarket Books: Chicago 2018, $28, paperback 428 pp, 978 1 60846 801 0 Catherine Samary A UTOPIAN IN THE BALKANS How is it, asks Darko Suvin, with Brechtian directness, that socialist Yugoslavia started out so well, yet ended up so very badly? In answering that question he has produced an extraordinary work on the philosophy of emancipation, the lived possibilities of workers’ self-management and the horizon—in Ernst Bloch’s sense of the willed and worked-for future— of democratic communism. Studded with aperçus from Aristotle, Dante, Montesquieu, Hegel, Lenin, Gramsci and many more, Suvin’s Splendour, Misery and Possibilities is also, as Fredric Jameson notes in his illuminating Foreword to the book, a critical-utopian intervention in present-day discus- sions, not least of the relations between economic and political democracy. Suvin himself is exceptionally qualified to undertake such a task. A direct witness of the early decades of the Yugoslav revolution, deeply committed to its emancipatory aims, he is also a theorist of science fiction and utopia, a heterodox thinker within what Bloch called Marxism’s warm stream of future-oriented liberation, complementing its cool stream of analysis. Born in Zagreb to a Croatian Jewish family, Suvin was ten years old when Hitler’s tanks rolled into the city. He recalls here ‘the war years of immediate fascist threat to my psychic and physical survival, as a small but conscious boy’, and then ‘the wondrous years after 1945’ as a young Titoist militant.

  • Transition in Croatia
    979 POSEBNI PRILOG Yoji Koyama* TRANSITION IN CROATIA Neke napomene uz rad Yoji Koyame transition in Croatia Nema nijedne zemlje u tranziciji koja ima tako dugu bogatu reformsku i tr- žišnu tradiciju kao Hrvatska i Slovenija. To, razumije se, vrijedi i za druge zemlje nastale razdruživanjem bivše Jugoslavije. Zato se na međunarodnoj znanstvenoj i političkoj sceni očekivalo da će upravo te zemlje biti na čelu tranzicijske kolone upravo onako kao što su dugi niz godina bile na čelu reformske kolone. Eksplo- zija balkanskog nacionalizma onemogućila je takva očekivanja. Izuzetak je samo Slovenija koja je i dalje ostala na čelu kolone. Međutim i bez obzira na tako neočekivani stjecaj događanja brojni ekonomisti znanstvenici posvećuju daleko veću pozornost našim reformskim i tranzicijskim dostignućima nego mi sami. Da ne spominjem brojne radove iz dulje povijesne retrospektive, spomenut ću samo dvije najnovije knjige. Prvu je prošle godine u SAD objavio David Prychitko pod naslovom “Markets, Planning and Democracy, New Thinking in Political Economy”. Drugu knjigu je ove godine u Japanu objavio poznati japanski ekonomist Yoji Koyama koji se dugo godina bavi sa kompara- tivnim studijama. Knjiga je objavljena pod naslovom “South Eastern Europe in Transition”. Najvećim dijelom je posvećena događanjima u zemljama nastalim na prostorima bivše Jugoslavije. U ovoj se knjizi daje široki pogled na reformska i tranzicijska događanja u biv- šoj državi. Citiraju se brojni autori koji su tijekom mnogih godina radili na reformi i tranziciji. Ova knjiga predstavlja jedan od najcjelovitijih pogleda stranog autora koji se dugi niz godina komparativno bavi reformskim i tranzicijskim događanjima * Y. Koyama, profesor na Ekonomskom fakultetu Sveučilišta Niigata, Japan.

  • Making Transition, Remaking Workers
    Making transition, remaking workers Market and privatisation reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina: the case of Energoinvest (1988-2008) Submitted by Anna Calori to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History In December 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: … ……………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis focuses on the social transformations that accompanied market and privatisation reforms in the late- and post-Yugoslav space. It argues that in the historical shift from state socialism to the post-Yugoslav economic system, it was not only work relations that changed, but with them, the very meaning of work, productivity, and property; as workers’ role in the workplace was remade, so was workers’ identity. Focussing on the case of a prominent Yugoslav exporting company (Energoinvest) – which was embedded in global trade and a non-aligned economic world for much of the socialist period – it shows that a key intent of market and privatisation reforms from the late 1980s to the early 2000s was the (re)shaping of workers’ identity. The thesis uses the space of the industrial workplace – as imagined by experts, organised by companies, and experienced and remade by workers – to provide a grounded case study to show how the reformulation of workers’ identity has played out over subsequent economic transitions.
