Abstract

Khodunov analyzes the Bulldozer Revolution of 2000 in Serbia, which was the main part of former Yugoslavia. The chapter aims to shed light on the internal and external causes of this revolution, the distinguishing characteristics of Milošević’s regime and the revolutionary movement, and to describe the outcomes of the Serbian revolution and the country’s development thereafter. The Bulldozer Revolution of 2000 was the first Color Revolution in a former Communist state. It was led by the Otpor movement and the Serbian democratic opposition to Serbia’s ruling Socialist party. During the latter's reign, a series of bloody wars led to Yugoslavia's breakup, and living standards fell dramatically. The revolutionaries wanted to improve the socioeconomic situation and recover the prestige that Serbia had lost as a result of wars, isolation, and deterioration of its relations with the West. The Western politicians and organizations provided substantial support to the revolutionary movement. As mass demonstrations gained momentum, the chiefs of the army and the police refused to protect the regime, and Milošević quickly resigned. Khodunov concludes that after the revolution, Serbia became much more democratic, but the new government was unable to solve most of the country's acute economic and demographic problems.
