A symposium on national independence & self-determination in postcommunist countries. In Self-Determination and War: The Case of Yugoslavia, Branka Magas discusses the origins of the Yugoslavian conflict, blames the Left in Europe for defending Yugoslavia against its secessionist republics, & argues that the Yugoslavian conflict represents the destruction of once-autonomous states rather than simply the eruption of retrograde nationalisms. In Nationalism: Barrier to Progress, Ernest Erber argues that: the nation-state & the principle of national sovereignty is in historical decline, nationalism plays an increasingly reactionary role, & the right of national self-determination will fade as ethnic minority rights are subsumed under the expanding umbrella of human rights. In Nationalism and the Self, Lynne Jones discusses psychological aspects of nationalism, examines the relation between the self & historical processes, & argues that Yugoslavia illustrates how the rejection of nationalist aspirations tends, paradoxically, to intensify them. In Really Existing Nationalism, Bogdan Denitch argues that nationalism provides a collective identity that can be adopted to protect against the collapse of universalisms, eg, communism. In Democracy and the Right to Secede, Martin Thomas argues that Slovenia & Croatia had a right to secede. In Self-Determination: As a Contingency Principle, John Feffer argues that Left-oriented analyses of nationalism & the legitimacy of states suffer from a latent libertarianism that seriously compromises the discussion of self-determination. In Self-Determination: A Democratic Political Principle, Samuel Farber contends that: the self-determination of nations is a fundamental democratic principle, self-determination is crucial for progressive political change, & self-determination has little to do with nationalism.

OBSERVERS OF "DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENTS" WITHIN THE SOVIET UNION OFTEN CITE NATIONALIST MOVEMENTS IN THE REPUBLICS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. HOWEVER, AS THE EXPERIENCE OF LATVIA AND GEORGIA INDICATE, ALL NATIONALIST MOVEMENTS ARE NOT EQUALLY COMMITTED TO THE DEMOCRATIC IDEALS THEY ESPOUSE. ANOTHER WIDELY BELIEVED MYTH IS THAT FREE ELECTIONS AMOUNT TO DEMOCRACY. WHILE ELECTIONS ARE UNDOUBTEDLY A NECESSARY PRECONDITION FOR DEMOCRATIC CHANGE, DEMOCRATIC TRANSFORMATIONS, IF THEY DO NOT EMBRACE THE ENTIRE RANGE OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS, CAN LEAD TO THE MOST UNDEMOCRATIC RESULTS.
