Abstract

This chapter offers an analysis of the political opportunity structures within which SDS operated, and which shaped the meanings of the party’s discourse across space and time. Together with the previous chapter, this discussion builds a foundation for understanding the agency of SDS by situating it within the broader contextual setting. The analysis is bracketed into four distinct contextual periods that show progressive escalation of the broader ethnic politics: the 1990 election campaign, the post-election Yugoslav disintegrative processes, the aftermath of Croatia’s July 1991 declaration of independence, and the December 1991 decision by major international actors to recognize Yugoslav republics.
