Lectii jugoslave prin filtrul stangii de fotoliu din N America. Discutia despre de/centralizare, in contextul non-discutiei despre regionalizare in Romania de acum, ar trebui urmarita in mod special. Una dintre lectii: "As external pressures intensified, the republics closed off against each other more and more. Not only did they therefore develop different specialisations with different markets in the Cold War, but superpower contestation also made the republics a primary site of the superpower struggle for supremacy. . . . The end of the Cold War presented Yugoslavia with an existential challenge that its institutional design proved ill-prepared to meet, as its debt economy found it difficult to re-finance with the threat of the USSR gone."

The Life and Death of Yugoslav Socialism

Yugoslavia's "self-managed" socialism appeared to be a real alternative to the Soviet model. Why did it collapse so suddenly?

Dinica Roman "Chief among these lessons is the role of the international economic order in limiting the durable and stable growth of peripheral economies. Arguably, postwar Yugoslav socialists maneuvered as best they could within the conditions set by a global economy that prioritized the interests of Western capitalist economies. But their compromise with this global economy exacerbated the contradictions of Yugoslav society.

Any genuine struggle for development and self-determination will need to reckon with the limitations of the individual nation state. Larger economic units based on regional cooperation will need to be sought. Such arguments are not unique to the Left — they have long been used in the region to justify the liberal strategy of European integration. However, as the fate of the Syriza government in Greece demonstrates, the European Union does not shield the periphery from the pressures of global markets; rather, it restructures them on a European plane."

Smaranda Dobrescu "Economy than in many ways wasn't primary. It did do better than most "real-existing socialism" examples, but it can be an endless debate whether because inherit benefits of self-management or because somewhat hybrid socialist system with capitalist elements. What is important, is that failures were not at points capitalist analysis expected them, at least not directly. Workers did not short-change long term investments for shot term pay rises. They mostly acted very responsible in that respect. Problem were differences between wages in successful and unsuccessful cooperatives. In later they were raised often through unsustainable means, while cooperatives themselves were kept functioning through state aid. Another problem was that workers often restricted new employment in crisis as a way to preserve cooperatives (although same holds for private or corporate owners).
In most respects, I believe that self-management was rather successful on a cooperative level, if not on a state level. Therefore there would be lessons worth learning. Especially, if such comment is not out of line for askhistorians, now when short-term speculative investments dominate, and wages (therefore also consumption) are reduced for the sake of profits."
