Privatisation and the break-up of Yugoslavia
Privatisation and the break-up of Yugoslavia

Summary/Abstract: The main hypothesis of this article is that the privatisation of state-owned capital defined the structure and plotted the course of all social changes in eastern Europe after 1989. Using so-called ‘expert projects’, all the mechanisms of social restructuring have been employed to serve monopolistic capitalist capital formation. A multitude of political manipulation and domination technologies have also been used to this end. The ‘national (sovereignty) revival’ technology was instrumental in providing social consensus between the working class and the (communist) nomenclature which, according to the paradox of historical bifurcations, initiated the restoration of private ownership in ‘real socialist’ countries.
