Myth of ethnic war Serbia and Croatia in the 1990s

Gagnon, V P

Myth of ethnic war Serbia and Croatia in the 1990s - Ithaca Cornell University Press 2004 - xxi,217p. maps ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [201]-206), appendix, and index.

The puzzle of the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s -- Image versus reality: misidentifying the causes of violence -- Political conflict in the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, 1960-1989 -- Serbia and the strategy of demobilization, 1990-2000 -- Croatia and the strategy of demobilization, 1990-2000.

Arguing that evidence of high levels of ethnic intermarriage & draft resistence counter received opinion about the origins of the Serb-Croat war in the 1990s, Gagnon proposes a radical new theory: that the conflict was created by established élites seeking to preserve their dominant positions.
