Why did Yugoslavia collapse? In this thought-provoking episode, political economist Susan Woodward dismantles the dominant narrative that ethnic nationalism led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Instead, she offers a compelling political-economic analysis centered on the impact of IMF and World Bank austerity measures during the 1980s and how these reforms alienated the professional classes in relatively advanced regions like Slovenia and Serbia.
We explore:
The economic structure of Yugoslav society and its unique self-managed socialism
Why Tito rejected Stalinist centralization and opted for a more decentralized Leninist-inspired model
How Yugoslavia differed from the Eastern Bloc and charted a non-aligned, independent path
The role of international financial institutions in eroding Yugoslavia’s economic stability
What lessons does Yugoslavia offer for a post-capitalist or post-socialist future
