This chapter examines the Yugoslav vision of self-managing democracy through the lens of its constitutional development. Constitutions, as positive legal documents, codify the structure of a political system and articulate the vision of a desirable social order. Although they never fully correspond to social or material reality, they reveal the foundational principles from which a system and its ruling ideology derive legitimacy. The chapter explores this dimension of the Yugoslav constitutions, situating it within the complex historical and political dynamics in which Yugoslav socialism evolved. At the same time, it highlights the various contradictions that shaped this model and became embedded in the constitutional texts themselves. The aim is to illuminate a radically different conception of democracy, exemplified by a state that sought to construct socialism within the geopolitical context of the Cold War.
