ABSTRACT
We can date the trend toward the pluralization of political life in Yugoslavia from the middle of the 1980s. During that period there appeared on the political scene several new actors who autonomously influenced the course and development of the political process. To a great extent, the appearance of these subjects came about as a result of the dramatic social crisis that had rapidly eroded the power and influence of the one-party state under the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (SKJ).
