ABSTRACT
Whilst scholars have examined the long-term political, social, and cultural dynamics with regards to Yugoslavia’s collapse, the military has largely escaped similar scrutiny. This paper explores the League of Communists of Yugoslavia’s attempt to solve the nationalist problems of Yugoslavia through the ideology of self-management, and how the failure to do so affected the strategy of Total National Defence. The republics were able to construct their own armed forces due to Total National Defence’s devolution of powers and self-management making changes to the policy extremely difficult for the federal government and Yugoslav People’s Army.

悬而未决的基础:自我管理及其对南斯拉夫全面国防政策的影响
摘要
虽然学者们研究了与南斯拉夫崩溃有关的长期政治、社会和文化动态,但军方在很大程度上逃脱了类似的审查。本文探讨了南共联盟试图通过自我管理的意识形态来解决南斯拉夫的民族主义问题,以及未能这样做对全面国防战略的影响。由于全面国防的权力下放和自我管理,各共和国能够建立自己的武装部队,这使得联邦政府和南斯拉夫人民军难以改变政策。
