The dissolution of former Yugoslavia : causes and consequences

Abstract

During the history, national ideologies had impact on the nation building of the states. The case happened to be in the middle of the nineteenth Century, with the creation of the New Kingdom, that of the Serbs-Croats-Slovenes. New state was created in the Balkan Peninsula, after the fall of the two Empires, that of Ottoman Empire and that of Austro-Hungary. At the end of twentieth Century, national ideologies reappeared again and disillusioned the state. Analysis of the national ideologies that erupted in 1991 and broke-up the Yugoslav State forms the core part of this study. Analyses are going to be focused as well, in the negative outcomes of the national ideologies that were expressed in the war of Slovenia, Croatia that of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and lastly in Kosova/o.
