Description
Book SynopsisThis volume explores how the Milosevic government prolongs its tenure despite failures and setbacks that the author argues, would have brought down other governments.
Trade Review“An original and important addition to the literature on post-Communist transformations. Gordy presents a detailed political sociology of the region which is grounded in a knowledge of the language and relevant sources. His work is timely and will reach a wide audience interested both in Serbia and in the political and cultural sociology of nationalism, authoritarianism, and aesthetic life.”

“This book presents a very original and informative approach to the study of the social base and social policy of Milošević’s regime, and goes a long way to explain why Milošević has been so resilient. I recommend it highly to those interested in the politics of transition from communism to ‘post-Communism,’ or in the ways authoritarian regimes maintain power. Students of Balkans will find this work indispensable.”
