Dissolution of Yugoslavia as a conspiracy and its haunting returns: Narratives of internal and external othering
Reasons for the violent breakdown of Yugoslavia usually refer to several converging factors such as: economic deterioration, the growing political illegitimacy of the Communist system, a dysfunctional and rigid federal system, and nationalistic leadership agency that leaned on large populations’ proclivity to authoritarianism. These leaders built mutually incompatible national grand narratives, imbued with the sense of being victimized by other constituent nations, spiced up with the post- memory of past atrocities. Another aspect of human agency is related to the international community and its leaders. All these scholarly explanations are accompanied in public discourse by conspiratorial interpretations. Reasons for economic deterioration were attributed to international financial institutions and corporate America. The political legitimization of Communist rule and the federal state was partially etched through narratives about the sinister strategy of internal and external enemies. The international community’s agency was accompanied by conspiracy theories that blamed countries such as the USA, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Italy. However, ideas about imperialistic attempts did not stop with the establishment of post-Yugoslav states. Their content and sinister reasons have changed at least partially, but the sense of being the victim of conspiracies endured in each of these former Yugoslav republics.
