Rendszerváltás vagy „államváltás”? Jugoszlávia az 1980–90-es évek fordulóján
Regime Change or “Change of State”? Yugoslavia at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the political situation in Yugoslavia at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. It presents Milošević’s „antibureaucratic revolution”, the attempt of democratic transition (emergence of political pluralism, first multiparty elections) and the interrepublican conflicts about federation, confederation and asymmetric state union. Its final conclusion is that a joint Yugoslav regime change was impossible, as the republics failed to reach agreement on statehood, mainly because of Serbia’s lack of willingness to compromise. After 1991, wars blocked the democratic transformation of the independent republics, leading to the emergence of so-called hybrid regimes in the successor states, except Slovenia.
