Summary/Abstract: The book portrays the main political, social, and economic events and issues in the city of Split during the last decade of communist rule, from the death of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito in 1980 to the first multiparty elections held in 1990. It is based on extensive research of various sources, including the press, as well as archival sources, documents from the League of Communists, the State Security Service, and the then-Assembly of the Municipality of Split. The first part depicts the activities of socio-political organizations (such as party and youth organizations), the second part focuses on the economy of Split, the third part addresses specific social problems (housing, economic crime, industrial pollution), and the fourth and final part of the book deals with the regime's attitude toward Croatian nationalism, the Catholic Church, the echoes of Slobodan Milošević's "anti-bureaucratic revolution" in Split, the establishment of new political parties, and the results of the first multiparty elections in Split. The book follows the situation in Split during a decade of pronounced economic, social, and political crisis in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
