Sabrina Ramet, a veteran observer of the Yugoslav scene, traces
the steady deterioration of Yugoslavia's political and social
fabric in the years since 1980, arguing that, while the federal
system and multiethnic fabric laid down fault lines, the final
crisis was sown in the failure to resolve the legitimacy
question, triggered by economic deterioration, and pushed forward
toward war by Serbian politicians bent on powereither within a
centralized Yugoslavia or within an ethnically cleansed” Greater
Serbia. With her detailed knowledge of the area and extensive
fieldwork, Ramet paints a strikingly original picture of
Yugoslavia's demise and the emergence of the Yugoslav successor
states.
