This book was released on 1975 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yugoslavia represents both a new economic system and a new kind of socialist society which began to evolve nearly 25 years ago. The system is described and assessed in this report. The Yugoslav system is characterized by social ownership and control of the means of production, with worker self-management and decentralization of political and economic decisions. As a corollary of decentralized decision-making, there is a gradual reduction of centralized planning and control and a greater reliance on markets as a guide to the allocation of resources. Progress has been accompanied by an increasingly open economy and a more liberal foreign exchange and trade system, intended to improve the efficiency of domestic industry and to generate higher standards of living. The analysis of the development experience and problems of the Yugoslav economy that is presented in this report, while indicating that significant problems are still to be solved, nevertheless gives a favorable assessment of the country's future economic performance. The report suggests that Yugoslavia's demonstrated ability to combine rapid economic growth and fundamental institutional changes over a long period of time speaks for the basic soundness of its line of economic development. The country has also demonstrated its ability to confront and solve persistent and difficult domestic and external problems. Other bases for confidence about development prospects, as reflected in the report, include the country's natural and human resources, together with its pragmatic and dynamic approach to economic issues, readiness to consider and undertake institutional changes, and a general commitment to an open-market-oriented economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brutal war now raging in what was Yugoslavia, the author argues, is fueled not merely by interethnic hatred but also by longstanding disparities in economic well-being among republics and regions. The Communist leadership, having stated its intention when it took power to eliminate economic disparities, nonetheless failed to confront the conflict of interests that distorted the country's economic policy—and thus never worked out a coherent strategy for regional development. Interregional tensions were inflamed by the failure to close the gap between wealthy and poor areas, directly contributing to the breakup of the country. Basing her argument on longitudinal data and on in-depth interviews with Yugoslav leaders at federal and regional levels (Milovan Djilas, Svetozar Vukmanovic-Tempo, Bosko Gluscevic, Hasan Zolic, and several dozen others), Dijana Pleština examines and assesses the economic inequalities as well as the effects that the leadership's regional policies had on them. She shows that despite the mandate for equalization that was part of socialist doctrine, Yugoslav leaders were at first unwilling, and later unable, to formulate policies that would enhance the economic well-being of the poorest regions. Instead, they adopted a strategy of "top-down" growth, which enhanced the further development of the wealthier regions. Later, partially in an effort to placate the disadvantaged, they shifted funds to some of the less-developed regions. Rather than promoting equality, such ad hoc "solutions" fostered competition for scarce resources and intensified political cleavages. Pleština also looks at how the devolution of decisionmaking from central to regional levels, designed to increase government legitimacy and efficiency, actually provided an opportunity for regional leaders to build independent power bases. This trend, in conjunction with the economic slump of the 1980s, further eroded the unity of the federation.

Download or read book The Economic System and Income Distribution in Yugoslavia written by Henryk Flakierski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume in the author's ongoing inquiry into the extent of income inequality in the East European socialist countries and the effect of market-oriented reforms on patterns of income distribution. Although there has been remarkably little empirical research on this question (in part because of the problem of obtaining reliable data), both proponents and opponents of reforms voice strong views on this subject, with both sides, however, tending to grant the assumption that decentralization and the increased use of market mechanisms will increase inequality. In this study as in the preceding volume, "Economic Reform and Income Distribution: A Case Study of Hungary and Poland", Henryk Flakierski undertakes a study of the data in order to shed light on this question - this time with reference to the most decentralized of the East European economics and the one in which marketization of the economy has been most advanced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, this book traces the development of the Yugoslav economy from the end of the Second World War to the beginning of 1975, which the author argues was a highly productive era of social innovation. Drawing on personal experience of the Revolution, the Partisan Liberation War and his time as a member of the Federal Planning Board as well as a comprehensive array of written sources, the author attempts to understand the development process, compare policy proclamations with achieved results, study the theories and ideas that led a to certain policy, distinguish the economic and political ingredients in decision making and analyses the causes of success and failure.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The educational policies of Yugoslavia are presented in this report by examiners from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). A comprehensive report on all aspects of education in Yugoslavia was used as their frame of reference; data were collected by them from a two-week tour of the country. The volume is divided into three parts--the examiners' report; the record of the review meeting by the OECD Education Committee; and a summary of the report on the conditions, problems, and policies of education prepared by the Yugoslav authorities. Educational development has broadly followed the OECD expansionist trend of ten years of primary and lower secondary education for all young people and a variety of post-school opportunities. After a late start, progress has been rapid with a high rate of expenditure. A general, distinctively Yugoslav education in Marxist doctrine permeates the entire system. A vocational orientation has recently emerged at the secondary and postsecondary level; also, multilingual instruction is made available at formidable cost. Finally, the control of education, unlike other federal countries and Russian etatism, is highly decentralized in accordance with the principle of self-management. A glossary of main concepts and terms used in relation to the social and political systems in Yugoslavia is included. (NE)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 1967. In the foreword the author states that the present Essay was not written in haste, and probably cannot be read through in haste either. It is the result of my thinking about our society for the last sixteen years. The section "The Transition Period" was written and published as long ago as 1951 ; the last section, on the theory of the party, was written only after the Brioni Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, when study of these problems had become socially relevant, in the sense of the quotation of Marx that has been adopted as the epigraph of this book. Part of the text has been published in Ekonomist, Pregled, Gledüta and Na&e teme. Part I and Chapters 11 and 14 are taken from my book Towards a Theory of Planned Economy.
