Nicola Pasic and Ante Trumbic: The book will provide the first parallel biographies of two key Yugoslav politicians of the early 20th century: Nikola Pasic, a Serb, and Ante Trumbic, a Croat. It will also offer a brief history of the creation of Yugoslavia (initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes), internationally accepted at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919-20 (at the Treaty of Versailles). Such an approach will fill two major gaps in the literature - scholarly biographies of Pasic and Trumbic are lacking, while Yugoslavia's formation is due a reassessment - and to introduce the reader to the central question of South Slav politics: Serb-Croat relations. Pasic and Trumbic's political careers and their often troubled relationship in many ways perfectly epitomize the wider Serb-Croat question.
The intent and purpose of this book is to successfully gather and present the authentic messages of the two Kremansk prophets, Milosh and Mitar Tarabic, as they told them. Born in a remote mountain village of Kremno, beneath the mountain Tara, these two humble illiterate peasants had practically no elementary knowledge of history or geography. They were nevertheless able to foretell all the important events occurring in the nineteenth century during which they lived, as well as events not occurring until the twentieth century. They also had messages pertaining to the events that are yet to happen in the distant future. They didn't speak in riddles as other prophets did. They never made it a dilemma about what would happen, or even when or how. Their messages were timely, precise and chronologically correct. The Tarabics received their messages from an unknown source. Their Godfather, the priest, Zachary Zacharic, preserved them by writing them down. The process was long and tedious and it took years to gather them. The manuscripts had originally been hidden and were finally uncovered and compiled by Father Zachary's grandson, Dejan Malenkovic with whose help this book was finally written. Even though this book deals with unusual and fascinating events, the authors are not attempting to explain them, nor are they discussing man's secret and unusual, supernatural knowledge. As non-scientists we are not capable of explaining something that mankind has not been able to explain since the age of antiquity. We just wrote what we found and time will tell whether a phenomenon scientifically unexplainable is also nonexistent.

This book is based on a comparative study of regionalisms in Croatia’s regions of Dalmatia and Istria as well as Serbia’s Vojvodina. The monograph’s main focus is on regionalist political party strategies since 1990, and within that, each case study considers history and historiography, inter-group relations, economics, and region-building. The analysis demonstrates that many of the common assumptions about the causal determinants of territorial autonomy projects and outcomes, as well as about a teleological and unidirectional path from regionalism to nationalism, do not stand up to scrutiny. The author introduces original concepts such as plurinational, multinational and sectional regionalism to theories of nationalism and territorial politics. This book will appeal to scholars and upper-level students interested in territorial politics, federalism, nationalism and comparative politics.

Before Tito's Yugoslavia, which disintegrated violently in the 1990s, there was another Yugoslav state. This book is about the original, interwar Yugoslavia (1918-41), and is based on the author's research in Croatian, Serbian, British and American archives and on extensive study of published sources. Unlike other scholars, Dejan Djoki argues that the period can be best understood through an analysis of attempts to reach a Serb-Croat compromise. Historians have long recognised the Croats' rejection of state centralism, but Djoki shows that many Serbs had also accepted federalism by the mid-1930s. Djoki challenges the popular perception of the period as one of constant conflict between Serbs and non-Serbs and argues that the political mismanagement of the country paved the way for the radicalisation of the war years (1941-5) and the subsequent communist takeover. Although primarily a study of conflict management in a multinational state, the book provides an insight into the effects of politics on 'ordinary' people. Elusive Compromise places Yugoslavia in the context of a Europe-wide struggle between democracy and dictatorship, and contributes to an understanding of the dissolution of Yugoslavia and other multinational states.
The main aim of this book is to explore the history of 'the Yugoslav idea', or 'Yugoslavism', between the creation of the state at the end of the First World War in 1918 and its dissolution in the early 1990s. The key theme that emerges is that Yugoslavism was a fluid concept, which the different Yugoslav nations, leaders and social groups understood in different ways at different times. There was no single definition of who or what was (or was not) 'Yugoslav' - a fact which perhaps indirectly contributed to the ultimate failure of the Yugoslav idea and, with it, the Yugoslav state." "Written by both established and younger intellectuals from the region and from Western countries, Yugoslavism offers a unique perspective on Yugoslavia's political, social, diplomatic and economic history and contributes to a better understanding of the wars which followed the country's dissolution."--BOOK JACKET.
