The Economic Struggle for Power in Tito`s Yugoslavia: From World War II to Non-alignment

Josep Broz Tito`s reshaped Yugoslav state became an influential pivot between East and West during the Cold War. Here, Vladimir Unkovski-Korica re-assesses the key episodes of Tito`s rule – from the joint Stalin-Tito offensive of 1944, through to the Tito-Stalin split of 1948, the market reforms of the 1950s and the `turn to the West` which led to Yugoslavia`s non-alignment policy. For the first time, Unkovski-Korica also outlines Tito`s internal battle with the Workers` Councils – empowered union bodies which emerged with the `withering away of the party` in the early 1950s.The Economic Struggle for Power in Tito`s Yugoslavia draws out the impact of the period economically and politically, and its long-term effects. A comprehensive history based on new archival research, this book will appeal to scholars and students of European Studies, International Relations and Politics, as well as to historians of the Balkans.
