Politicians And The Chattering Classes Love Stability.
Ambassadors and the chattering classes love Stability. Steadiness is good, instability is not.
They typically have a point. Not too much good comes out of heavy political instability. Unless it is the overthrow of a bad regime or tyrant, in which particular case it is not unstableness but 'people power'.
But what's equilibrium? Many things are stable till they are not. A house being eaten by termites looks fine and imposing till the instant it falls down.
Hard though it is to believe now, back in the early 1980s the West (above all the Foreign Office itself) hailed post-Tito Yugoslavia as a "pillar of equilibrium in the Balkans". On my first diplomatic posting in Belgrade (1981-84) the paralysis and stupidity of Yugoslavia's convoluted 'socialist self-management' processes became ever more obvious, to me at least. Yet the official policy line stayed. Yugoslavia was a "pillar of stability" and (as importantly) had to be kept as such. The alternative was inconceivable and should stay firmly unthought.
As an Embassy Young Turk in these leaden pre-email, pre-fax days I disagreed about all this dubiously with the then Envoy and my other frustrated bosses, plus anybody from London who might listen. They insisted that regardless of whether I was right and Yugoslavia faced difficult times, it might "muddle through somehow".
That familiar formula got me thinking. What did it actually mean? Therefore my first FCO rant, in early 1984 : Yugoslavia and the 'Muddle Through Somehow' Speculation.
My basic point was this. The Muddle Thru Somehow (MTS) metaphor conveyed fascinating expectations :
General concepts of pragmatism ; an amount of homely confusion ; maybe an absence of precise planning and control ("muddle") but at least a broad sense of direction ("through" ; lack of extreme, surprising, violent or cataclysmic change.
But , I asserted, MTS as a idea made sense only if it did not cover everything. To make a claim that Europe had somehow muddled through World War Two, or that Japan had 'muddled through' Hiroshima and Nagasaki, appeared to miss something rather significant about those events. In other words, if the FCO wanted to claim that an MTS situation pertained, it required at least to think about whether some non-MTS events (for Yugoslavia another civil war or Soviet army intervention to support red rule) could be credible.
I thus pointed to a significant prospect of extreme non-MTS internal tensions escalating across Yugoslavia as the republican leaderships played the card of mass nationalism to divert attention from their incompetent corruption : Kosovo was a very likely flashpoint.
One has a weird feeling of being perched on a sandcastle with the waters of economic logic relentlessly eroding the base.
These exchanges read rather well now, from my standpoint. Yet it took a bit for the final collapse to happen. Yugoslavia did Muddle Through Somehow. Till it did not.
Therefore the core diplomatic policy maze : over what timescale is success measured?
One of the metaphors I employed to clarify Bosnia's Problems to bemused Whitehall officers was the tall, steep sand-dune. You rush at the sand-dune and try to get to the top, but find yourself stuck. If only you had seen that powerful tuft of grass over to the right before you made your dash! You might have reached that and attempted to tug yourself upwards. But any movement towards it or in any other direction makes you slide backwards.
From good if over-optimistic or maybe naive intentions you can end up in a hopeless place, where no good move is available. This explains why the eurozone problem is so hard for our top policy-makers.
Eurozone leaders designed a flamboyant gondola for drifting affably round the elegant decay of Venice. They now find themselves swept by an unthinkable (or at the very least unthought-of) current into horrid stormy seas.
The vessel is sinking! No life-jackets! The Greek can't swim! The German is hooting that everybody tighten their belts! The Frenchman blames capitalism! The odious Brits preferred their own shabby boat : they watch with ruthless amusement from choppy but still (they suspect) manageable waters.
Essentially, the eurozoners have allowed themselves to get far out of their depth. And they smugly refused to pack any safety kit.
A classic non-MTS situation. Civil servants and government big wheels round Europe for many years have been brought up to think in snug MTS terms. The difficulty they face in adjusting their thinking or even grasping the true nature of the issue is unbearable.
This occurred in the FCO in the late 1980s as the Yugoslav house started seriously smouldering. Our then Envoy in Belgrade wrote to London prompting the case that things really were getting heavy. The reply?
It actually doesn't matter that much if the Yugoslavs fall out British holiday-makers will just avoid Dubrovnik.
An MTS view that opened the way to many thousands of violent deaths, plus many billions of British and world taxpayers' bucks thrown not extraordinarily successfully at the issue. Failing to foretell and plan for non-MTS is expensive,writes tagza.com.
