Abstract: Abstract In Yugoslavia after the Second World War, economic history gained in importance within the framework of the prescribed Marxist ideological concept. But economic historians were on the margins of the historiographical community and on the margins of public interest. The restriction to regional (republican) contexts or the isolated study of phenomena of local significance within a narrower temporal framework led to a certain “self-sufficiency.” These circumstances constituted an obstacle to the methodological and conceptual modernization of historiography, despite the opportunities for travel and liberalized cultural transfer. The Commission for Economic History was established with the desire to cooperate with the International Economic History Association . The possibilities of international cooperation were not fully exploited not only because of the methodological lag, but also because of latent financial problems. For this reason, economic historiography was understaffed and under-researched.
