Whither the Bulldozer: Nonviolent Revolution and the Transition to Democracy in Serbia;Special rept

摘要

This report focuses on the largely nonviolent revolution that led to the removal of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic from office and the rise to power of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS). Particular attention is paid to the role of nonviolence in the revolution and the role of Serbia's civil society in the country's transition to democracy. Written by Institute consultant Albert Cevallos, the report is based on numerous interviews with civic activists and representatives of the democratic opposition, student groups, independent media, and the United States government, as well as an analysis of available literature surrounding these event s. It is also based in part on a conference cosponsored by the United States Institute of Peace and the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia, 'Whither the Bulldozer. Revolution, Transition, and Democracy in Serbia,' held on January 30-31, 2001 in Belgrade.
