| The book is the first comprehensive empirical study of transport infrastructure in two socialist countries in the years 1945â 1989. In the case study of Yugoslavia, the construction of roads was interrelated with building socialist and trans-ethnic identities, uniting all federal republics. In practice, the â Brotherhood and Unity Highwayâ was an artery linking the capitals of the most industrialized republics, neglecting Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and parts of Macedonia. In socialist Bulgaria existed a clear ideological link between transport and nation building. Bulgarian roadsâ disintegrative function was best seen in the example of the â Highway Ringâ which, constructed as an inner circle, isolated the border regions and areas inhabited by Bulgarian Muslims and Turks. |
