Existing accounts of Yugoslavia's dissolution, however, pay little regard to the troubled relationship between the Yugoslav Federation and the European Community (EC) prior to the crisis in the early 1990s, and the instability this created. Here, Branislav Radeljic offers an empirical analysis of the EC's relations with Yugoslavia from the late sixties, when Yugoslavia was under the presidency of Josep Broz Tito, through to the collapse of the Yugoslav federation in 1992, after the rise of Slobodan Milosevi? and the beginning of the Yugoslav Wars. Radeljic explores the economic, political and social elements of these discords, and also places emphasis on the role of Slovenes, Croats and other diasporas - focusing on their capacity to affect policy-making at a Europe-wide level. Radeljic argues convincingly that a lack of direction and inadequate political mechanisms within the EC enabled these non-state actors to take centre-stage, and shows how EC paralysis precipitated a bloody conflict in the Balkan region."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aEuropean history$2BIC 607 $aEurope$xForeign relations$zYugoslavia 607 $aYugoslavia$xForeign relations$y1980-1992 607 $aYugoslavia$xForeign relations$zEurope 607 $aYugoslavia$xHistory$y1980-1992 615 7$aEuropean history. 676 $a949.703 700 $aRadeljic?$b Branislav$01157642 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819235103321 996 $aEurope and the collapse of Yugoslavia$93956710 997 $aUNINA
