This book is the product of collaboration at the University of Sussex between the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU), specifically its ESRC-financed STEEP programme, and the Sussex European Institute (SEI). The collaboration developed for two reasons, one fundamental and intellectual, the other happily accidental. On the one hand, the obvious interest of SEI in an important and volatile region of Europe converged with that of STEEPs East European sub-programme in the conditions and characteristics of economic and political transition. On the other, there happened to be, just at the time when the Yugoslav crisis was breaking, a remarkable concentration of expertise on the region in the two institutions. In assembling the roster of authors we were able to access not only that concentration of expertise, but also the wide-ranging network of contacts that clusters around it. The result is a book written largely by insiders but insiders with global perspectives. It would be difficult to name all the people who have helped with the preparation of the volume. We take this opportunity to thank them all. Responsibility for the final product does, of course, remain with us.
