| Summary/Abstract |
In the decade following the death of Josip Broz Tito in May 1980, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Socijalisticka Federativna Republika Jugoslavije, SFRJ) experienced increasingly catastrophic political, social and economic crises that contributed to the country's eventual disintegration and bloody ethno-national conflict in the 1990s. Attempts at reforming the decaying Titoist system, presided over by the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (Savez komunista Jugoslavije, SKJ),1 were ultimately undermined by the rise of nationalism in Serbia under Slobodan Milosevic after 1986 and the subsequent nationalist reactions in the other Yugoslav republics (Ramet 2005, pp. 54-75).
