-The paper, prepared in the spring of 1998, speculates on the possible consequences of the escalation of the Kosovo crisis on the political climate in Serbia. The author concludes by saying that the conflict over Kosovo is likely to bring back Seselj's radical nationalism on the political scene and to derail the development of democratic politics in Serbia.

Lampe, John R. Yugoslavia as History: Twice There was a Country. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000.

-The book offers an extensive overview of the history of the Balkan countries that made up Yugoslavia. Choosing the existence of the second Yugoslavia as the pivotal point of the narrative, the author explains what led up to the creation of the single state and what caused its disintegration. He interprets the abandonment of the multi-ethnic state project as an unfortunate consequence of the economic and political failure of Yugoslavia under the Communist League.

-The article looks at the Serbian political scene from 1990 to 1997, focusing on election results. The reasons for the lack of transformation are seen in the inherent problems within the opposition, the institutional structure that allows Milosevic to manipulate the elections, and the international isolation, which exasperates these two problems.

-The report gives a grim forecast of Serbia's future after the assassination of a pro-Western Prime Minister Zoran Djidjic. Nationalism and stalled cooperation with the ICTY are seen as alarming trends that can signal a turn back toward Milosevic-style politics.

-The report combines political and economic indicators to construct an outlook for the next few months. Early parliamentary elections are seen as a distinct possibility and the presidential elections are viewed likely to result in the victory of the SRS candidate. The political uncertainty, the report predicts, will reflect on the economic growth indicators, keeping the pace of development slow.

Thomas, Robert. Serbia under Milosevic: Politics in the 1990s. London: Hurst & Company, 1999.

-The book analyzes Serbian political scene up to 1998, when the opposition was defeated by the overwhelming victories of the nationalist SPS and SRS forces. The defeat of the opposition is presented as contingent, on the one hand, upon its own weakness and, on the other, on the ideological strength of the unifying nationalist rhetoric used by Milosevic and Seselj.
