Zusatztext This volume wonderfully captures how, almost thirty years after its violent dissolution, the legacy of Yugoslavia continues to be felt in the post-Yugoslav region in multiple and complex ways. It highlights the many continuities between the structures and policies of the defunct socialist federation and its successor states, despite claims by nationalist elites about breaking with the past in the creation of new political and economic entities and systems. It also shows how Yugoslavia remains a reference point for both elites and societies in the region—providing a useable past in foreign policy and contests around borders, as well as a source of nostalgia when the present is defined by the inequities and hardships of a flawed political and economic transition.
