Urban Self-management in Yugoslavia
Simmie J.M. and Hale D.J. (1978) Urban Self-management in Yugoslavia, Reg. Studies 12, 701–712. It is argued that the main confrontations in advanced industrial societies are between bureaucracies and individuals. Allied with this is an increase in the importance of political as opposed to economic decision-making. One of the main problems for individual residents of cities is therefore to generate sufficient collective power to participate at a significant level in organisational decisions concerning urban growth, decline and production. The current constitution of Yugoslavia makes a conscious structured and operational attempt to overcome many of these problems.
The main concept employed in Yugoslavia to accomplish reductions in the power of bureaucracies and real increases in participation is the idea of self-management. The application of this idea at republican, city, commune and local community levels is examined in this paper. The city of Ljubljana is used as an example of self-management at the urban level.
It is concluded that, while by no means perfect, urban self-management in Ljubljana represents a considerable advance on what passes for participation in the government of British cities.
