On the 7th of February, Professor Vladimir Unkovski-Korica from the University of Glasgow held a public lecture co-organized by the Department of History and the Yugo-Region Research Group. In it, he presented his book The Economic Struggle for Power in Tito's Yugoslavia (I.B. Tauris, 2016). Professor Unkovski-Korica’s argued that Yugoslavia’s “hybrid” developmental model, although seemingly unique, fits within a broader pattern of post-World War Two modernization by countries eager to “catch up” with the developed Western European and North American states.
