AB  - Although both praised and contested for its advanced conceptual elaboration and ineffective practical implementation, respectively, participatory planning has largely been considered a Yugoslav national legacy and a point of diversification compared with other similar contexts. However, there has been little research on the roots and features of public participation as observed through the lens of international influences on Yugoslav spatial and urban planning. By identifying the main channels (professional networks and events) and nodes (planning organizations and documents) in the diffusion of participatory planning ideas at both the international and national levels, we trace the evolution of citizen participation discourse in Yugoslavia. Based on archival research of the relevant documents (selected articles in professional journals, decrees, and plans), the paper examines the authenticity of the concept of citizen participation in Yugoslavia to, finally, elucidate the specificities of its implementation in the context of socialist self-management.

AB  - Socialist Yugoslavia refrained from the polarisation provoked by the Cold
War. Besides turning back to the war ally of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics (USSR) in 1948 to take the leading position in the non-aligned
movement in 1961, Yugoslavia followed a distinct path of socialism known as
self-management, an emancipatory project in pursuit of a democratic socialist
society. As such, Yugoslavia was assigned different roles and attributes: for
sure, it was a melting pot of criticism (from both East and West); more
positive prospects saw it as a hybrid between East and West; inevitably,
Yugoslavia was condemned to be somewhat distanced from both power
centres, thus being a periphery to both East and West. Though the periphery
is challenging to de!ne due to the heterogeneity of the countries forming
it (Becker et al. 2010), during the Cold War, southeast Europe (SEE) has
mainly been considered a periphery to the western world (Göler 2005).
Despite the existence of the so-called Western European peripheral countries,
the absence of capitalism was considered the most in"uential parameter for
diversifying SEE from the West (Bohle and Greskovits 2012; Bohle 2018).
However, due to unstable political relations between the Soviet Union and
Yugoslavia, the latter was considered detached from the communist ideology,
too. This was particularly seen in the architectural and planning discourse,
which after 1948 was informed almost exclusively by Western sources, while
references to the communist bloc became exceedingly rare (Kulić 2009).
Although nowadays the so-called Western Balkans region (that largely coincides
with the former Yugoslavia) is considered to be a “super-periphery”
(Bartlett and Prica 2013), in the Cold War period, Yugoslavia “was softening
the contrast between socialism and capitalism, between the planned economy
and the free market, and between liberal democracy and the ‘dictatorship of
the proletariat’” (Kulić 2009:129)...
