Product Description
This volume explores how the Milosevic government prolongs its tenure despite failures and setbacks that would have, argues the author, brought down other governments. The answer, he maintains, lies in everyday life - the Milosevic regime has largely succeeded in making alternatives to its rule unavailable. By controlling key aspects of daily life, including politics, media, and popular music, it has undermined opposition by closing off alternative voices.

How does the regime survive?
This book is trying to answer a question many people who follow events in the Balkans have asked themselves: how does the regime in Serbia survive? It is unpopular, widely regarded as illegitimate, has lost all of the conflicts it has entered in the name of nationalism, and yet it seems to hang on with a mystifying tenacity.
