Sažetak
The desintegration of Yugoslavia is usually explained as a consequnce of nationalist ideology and nationalist mobilization. The position taken in this text is that such interpretations are not wrong, but they do not tell the whole story. Similarly, the general accounts about the demise of the socialist systems are unsatisfactory when they "explain" it by its lesser economic efficiency. The lesser efficiency was always present, but that does not explain why socialism collapsed at the time that it did. Moreover, nationalism was always present as an ideological force in the Yugoslav context but that does not explaine it's explosion at the time of the disintegration on the country. In the case of the disintegration of the socialist system in general, a more adequate level of exploanation includes the cold war competitions, strategies of the actors in that competition and their decisions. In the case of disintegration of Yugoslavia the more satisfactory explanation can be achieved by understanding the power games of the key actors that created the context in which nationalism exploded.
