The Balkan War in the Light of Authoritative Theory and Unforeseeable Reality

Davor Rodin ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author believes that one cannot accept the opinion that the Balkan
war defies all frameworks of modem politicaJ theories and is thus a
conceptually undefinable muddle of inexplicable and unsurveyable
circumstances. He resorts to the work of Carl Schmitt which concentrates
upon two codes prompted by situations: the relationship of politlcs and law
and the relationship of politics and war. With the help of Schmitt's conceptual
distinctions he analyzes three diachronical processes: the disintegration of
the Yugoslav federation,the disintegration of real socialism, and the end of
the cold war.
