Students attending the course will gain knowledge in historical development of the joint Yugoslav state, its main features, as well as major obstacles and issues in its functioning. Students will also be instructed in factors, domestic and international equally, that contributed to the dissolution of Yugoslavia and sparked the consequent wars of succession. Furthermore, the course is designed to provide comprehensive information and assessment of the international intervention, but also focuses on changes that occurred after the intervention was concluded. In that respect, domestic politics of all Yugoslav successor states will be examined as they developed from the dissolution of the joint state to present times. Last but not least, international perspective of the Euro-Atlantic integration process will also be analyzed to present a more exact picture of the ex-Yugoslav space over the period of more than two decades.
