Abstract:
"Drapac charts the changing nature of the Yugoslav ideal, demonstrating why Yugoslavism was championed at different times, and by whom. The author also explores why successive attempts at forging a Yugoslav nation have failed, and why, despite this, the idea of a Yugoslav synthesis retained its appeal internationally even as the state was imploding"--Provided by publisher.
