The socio-historical consequences of privatisation in Serbia
The socio-historical consequences of privatisation in Serbia

Summary/Abstract: The process of privatisation in eastern Europe has not been accompanied by the process of the mass-based and solid organisation of the working class (through the consolidation of trade union organisations in trade union centres) and, hence, neither has it been accompanied by the emergence of authentic labour (socialist) parties based on a mass membership.* Trade union pluralism and a low membership of labour organisations, the absence of collective confidence within the working class in trade unions and the undeveloped forms and unappreciable effects of social dialogue, as well as a political system based on clientelist parties and a criminalised state, reflect the structural disintegration of east European societies in transition.
