OSNOVNE KARAKTERISTIKE TRANZICIJE U (POST)SOCIJALISTIČKIM ZEMLJAMA
BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF TRANSITION IN (POST) SOCIALIST COUNTRIES

Summary/Abstract: Investigating the problem of transition, we have come to terms with modern social change, which most directly affects our destiny. The problem that we have explored here is that societies are subject to change, which will later be established to be the key changes (unfortunately violent) that will mark the last decade of the 20th century. In this work, the concept of transition has been used consistently, in accordance with the definition that we will give in the work itself. Of course, it is not possible to correct all the theoreticians who have designated some other social processes with this term before the qualitative changes occurred in 1989 in the USSR and Central and Eastern European countries; since then, however, only the qualitative changes in these countries are to be understood. About the phenomenon of transition as a process, writing started to be more intense before the end of the Cold War. As the United States emerged as a victor against the Soviet Union, which blatantly collapsed, democracy as an "American dream" began to gain primacy over socialism. America has sought to "educate" new (post) socialist nations for democracy. The battle for the influence and expansion of the spheres of interest over which "democracy" would be "democracy" was very important and successful. This battle was won in the field of ideas.
