Elusive Compromise: A History of Interwar Yugoslavia

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 Djokic 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 Djokic shows that
many Serbs had also accepted federalism by the mid-1930s. Djokic 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.
