La inserción de Yugoslavia en la economía mundial: transición frustrada, intervencionismo y reforma económica radical

Abstract

The arrival on the last October of the Serbian Democratic Opposition to the government of the country involves the collapse of the precarious collectivist and kleptocratic model in which the yugoslavian national economy was based during de ninetees. The contradictions that this economic model meant faced with the valuation needs of the transnational capital in the region, given the local serbian resistances to the liberal systemic change imposed by the west in the old soviet economies, will end up expressing in a clearly interventionist geopolicy for the area, implying not only a warlike way out to the Kosovo conflict, but also international economic sanctions and a wide financing of the oposition. Finally, the implantation of a “radical economic reform” by the new yugoslavian authorities means the implementation of the traditional sequence of the IMF´s adjustment programme, as well as the definitive incorporation of Yugoslavia to the stream of structural transformations that, since the fall of the Berlin´s wall, have happened in the eastern economies: liberalization, privatization and external opening.
