Yugoslav Constitutional Reform

Yugoslav Constitutional Reform refers to a series of changes made to the constitution of Yugoslavia, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s. These reforms aimed to decentralize power, granting more autonomy to individual republics and provinces within the federation. This shift was intended to address ethnic tensions and promote local governance. However, while it initially fostered greater self-determination, it also contributed to rising nationalism. Ultimately, the reforms played a role in the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, leading to conflicts and the emergence of independent nations.
