Tito–tehnologija vlasti. By Kosta Čavoški. Beograd: Dosije, 1991. 303 pp. Paper

Notwithstanding these problems, this study will be useful for students and scholars of political socialization, comparative politics and Soviet-east European international relations. For those who teach United States foreign policy, this analysis captures the ambivalence and contradictory reactions in Washington up to the end of the cold war. Indeed, diere are insights for policy-makers as well. Mikhail Gorbachev himself might do well to ponder the implications of the fact that the Czechoslovak economic crisis of the 1960s was due less to blindly following the Soviet model than to the decentralizing process begun in 1958. Author and publisher alike resisted what must have been an almost overpowering temptation to engage in massive last minute rewriting; nevertheless, over time this study will provide an important benchmark against which to judge historical revisionism on the road to multiparty political systems in post-Communist Europe.
