ABSTRACT
The dissolution of Yugoslavia, regardless of whether one considers Yugoslavia as having lasted since either the end of World War II, or World War I, was a political and historical event of great magnitude, changing the lives of its inhabitants, the map of Europe and certainly attracting the attention of scholars. The reflection among Western scholars of various disciplines has been substantial, while social scientists from countries of former Yugoslavia considered the issue much more modestly. A 'minority in action' would mean that the dissolution was not the product of the will, planning or manipulation of majorities, of nationalities in their entireties. The one major work done by Croat sociologists is by Sekulic et al. They point not to the elites as entirely responsible for producing unrest, national mobilization and promoting independence, but as 'cultural political entrepreneurs', using appropriate empirical data from the last pan-Yugoslav surveys.
