More than twenty years after the Yugoslav wars, these expectations appear largely unmet. Frontiers of Civil Society asks why, exploring the roles of multiple civil society forces in a set of government “reforms” of society and individuals in the early 2010s, and examining them in the broader context of social struggles over neoliberal restructuring and transnational integration.Dislocations ;Volume 22.Civil societySerbiaPost-communismSerbiaDemocratizationSerbiaSerbiaPolitics and government2006-SerbiaPolitics and government1992-2006Civil societyPost-communismDemocratization949.7103/2Mikuš Marek1610747MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824450803321Frontiers of civil society3938615UNINA
