Promjene u socijalističkim zemljama: od krize do novog koncepta socijalizma
Changes in Socialist Countries: From Crisis to a New Concept

Summary/Abstract: The crisis in contemporary socialist countries cannot be simply accounted for by erroneous instruments of implementation or by the failure of socialism as a historical project. We are dealing with the crisis of one type of socialism, the old Soviet Stalinist model from the 1930’s. Its basic characteristics are an inefficient and non¬ -rational economy managed according to political decisions; the domination of a bureaucratic aparatus and a simbiosis of party and stale; hegemony in international relations from the position of a super-power. In the reforms of socialist systems the fundamental difficulty lies in how to solve the relationship between the market and democracy, namely the position of the Communist Party within the structure. Reforms reveal and bring to prominence hidden and suppressed problems that now break out in terms of national and social conflicts, increased unemployment, social differences, and changes in foreign policy.
