Razvitak jugoslavensku vojne doktrine
The Evolution of the Yugoslav Military Doctrine

Summary/Abstract: Yugoslavia's development after World War II is characterized by a relatively high investment of social effort and resources into the military field, a tendency for which the author has coined the expression 'high degree of armisation’. This ’high degree of armisation’ is not identical with ’militarisation’, if the latter is understood as the compulsory imposition of norms proper to military organisation on the civilian sphere and as the misuse of the influence wielded by the military organisation for the systematic acquisition of group, institutional, material and other privileges. The nature of this ’armisation’ can be understood only by the identification of the main trends of the country’s postwar military development and of the evolution of the Yugoslav military, or defense, doctrine. In analyzing the points of departure, assumptions and scope of the military or defense doctrine up to 1968 and after, the author draws attention also to some contradictions immanent in it.
