The Third Reich and Yugoslavia An Economy of Fear, 1933-1941
Perica Hadzi-Jovancic, Independent Scholar, Serbia The Third Reich and Yugoslavia focuses on economic and political affairs between the Third Reich and Yugoslavia before Germany attacked in April 1941. The book concludes that, contrary to the traditional view in historiography and despite the dependency of Yugoslavia’s foreign trade on the German market at the dawn of the Second World War, Germany’s overall policy towards Yugoslavia failed in this period. Yugoslavia maintained both its economic and political agency in the shadow of the Third Reich, with only international political developments beyond Yugoslavia’s control in the years ahead leading to a more receptive stance towards German demands.

Rethinking Homo Sovieticus
Almost three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, global media and intellectuals still rely on the concept of homo sovieticus to explain Russia’s authoritarian ills. But where did this concept come from? What analytical and ideological pillars does it stand on? What is at stake in using this term today? The Afterlife of the ‘Soviet Man’ addresses all these questions and even explains why – at least in its contemporary usage – this concept should be abandoned altogether.
