Description: "Working from both cultural examination and constitutional study, Robert Hayden argues that almost everything that has happened in the former Yugoslavia since 1989 is congruent with the logic of the politicians who won election in the free and fair elections of 1990 and with the constitutional structures that these politicians have created. Once the idea of a common state for all of the Yugoslav peoples lost electorally, the conflicts that followed were so logical as to be inescapable.

An epilogue considering the crisis in Kosovo furthers Hayden's point." "Blueprints for a House Divided addresses issues of interest in anthropology, political science, international relations, law, ethics, East European studies, and policy-making."--BOOK JACKET.
