The editors and editorial board are successfully continuing their commitment to the annual publication of the journal, which is striving toward scholarly quality and the publication of new faces and new research dealing with Croatians and Croatia. Besides continuing support from the Croatian Studies Foundation and Ministry of Science, Education and Sport of the Republic of Croatia, the publication of this volume is (as was the previous one) supported with the grant given by the State Office for Croats outside the Republic of Croatia as part of a competitive grant provided for financing publishing programs and projects for the Croatian diaspora. The Croatian Studies Centre has had a busy and exciting start to the year. In February 2014, the Centre successfully hosted the international conference Croatians: History, Language and Migration, honouring 30 years of Croatian Studies at Macquarie University. The conference was convened by Luka Budak and Danijel Dzino. On that occasion, the Centre and Croatian Studies Foundation co-published a refereed Book of abstracts, edited by Luka Budak and entitled: Croatians: History, Language and Migration. Abstracts of the International Conference Honouring 30 Years of Croatian Studies at Macquarie University / Sydney, Australia 5-7 February 2014. The book of abstracts also have an introduction written by the convenors under the title: “The social relevance of Croatian Studies at an Australian university OR: Why bother maintaining small humanistic disciplines in the age of financial cuts and rationalisation of academic departments and curricula?” The conference hosted a number of interesting and diverse papers by scholars from Australian, Croatian and Hungarian institutions. A full program of the conference is included in this volume of CSR, and we are planning to publish selected papers from the conference. In March 2014, Macquarie University was visited by Mr Zoran Milanović, Prime Minister of Croatia. During his visit, a tripartite agreement was signed between the Croatian government, Macquarie University and Croatian Studies Foundation. The agreement secures a 5-year funding commitment on behalf of the Croatian government. The financing comes from the Ministry of Science, Education and Sport of the Republic of Croatia and the State Office for Croats Abroad, Republic of Croatia. The total sum for five years, 2015-2019, is AU$750,000, which enables increased funding for the Centre and Croatian Studies at Macquarie University. Committed funding will enable the introduction of new teaching in the near future which will deal with Croatian history and archaeology as well as the history of Croatian migration. The Croatian Studies Centre also began a new project in collaboration with the Department of Ancient History at Macquarie University. This is the Bribir excavation project, involving archaeological excavations of Bribirska 7 Croatian Studies Review 9 (2013) glavica near Skradin, one of the most important archaeological localities in Croatia with a continuing habitation from the Bronze Age to the 19th century. The excavations were financed by the Faculty of Arts, Macquarie University, and with financial contribution from the Croatian Studies Foundation. They were conducted in collaboration with the following Croatian partners: the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments from Split and Šibenik City Museum. The first excavation was successfully accomplished in April 2014 and led by Dr Victor Ghica (field director) and Dr Danijel Dzino (deputy field director). The excavation concentrated on the revision of earlier excavations of late antiquity and early medieval structures below the Church of St. Joachim and Anne, including a polyconch church, whose dating is still in progress but which might go back to late antiquity. A complete geomagnetic survey of the archaeological site (approx. 58,000 m2) has also been carried out, which resulted in a map of the buried structures. The Centre is also participating in new projects in the near future, such as co-hosting the Croatian Migrant Congress, to be held 23rd-26th of June 2014 in Zagreb. The Congress will be attended by four members of the Centre: Luka Budak, Danijel Dzino, Natasha Levak and Walter F. Lalich, who are going to present papers at the conference.

  • The Yugoslav Peoples's Army: Between Civil War and Disintegration
    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. The Yugoslav Peoples's Army: Between Civil War and Disintegration by Dr. Timothy L. Sanz Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared originally in Military Review December 1991 Pages 36-45 August, a crisis in the Balkans, and a revolutionary upheaval in part of Europe--these words raise the hair on the back of the neck. Just a bit less than eighty years ago, Europe inaugurated this century of total war, thanks to the inability of its monarchs, statesmen, and generals to deal with a Balkan Crisis, the latest manifestation of what diplomats then called the "accursed Eastern Question." In the wake of that failure of statecraft, million-man armies marched into battle from one end of the continent to the other. Looking back on the long interval of peace which Europe has enjoyed since the end of the Second World War, the present crisis confirms the reality of a profound shift in the European security system and raises the question of whether the emerging security system in Europe will be able to deal with new Balkan crises. For several decades, while the military might of two ideologically-hostile blocs stood poised for action in Central Europe, a hypothetical internal crisis in Yugoslavia was often seen as an element in a scenario for bringing about a NATO-WTO military confrontation.

    Open Linguistics 2017; 3: 145–156 Research Article Open Access Klara Bilić Meštrić*, Lucija Šimičić Language Orientations and the Sustainability of Arbanasi Language in Croatia – A Case of Linguistic Injustice1 DOI 10.1515/opli-2017-0008 Received October 22, 2016; accepted March 1, 2017 Abstract: Despite numerous positive aspects of the global development of language-as-right orientation, we argue that its application is rooted in methodological nationalism, i.e. the idea of society being equal to a nation- state (Chernilo 2006), and the monoglot ideology based on the idea of one proper version of a historically and politically privileged dialect carrying the status of a language. This dominant preconception of social phenomena thus leaves many varieties in a legislative vacuum. As a consequence, language rights, often in the form of more or less mandatory legal instruments, concern only a (politically established) few. When this institutional inadequacy is paired with the existing orders of indexicality, then these varieties face marginalisation processes that render language use even more unsustainable. To address the issue of language sustainability, we analyse the language-as-right, language-as-resource and language-as-problem orientations in Croatia on the case of the Arbanasi, a community of descendants of Catholic albanophones who settled in the periphery of Zadar in the 18th century and whose group identity is marked by significant language loss. We analyse how speakers and community members themselves perceive marginalisation processes, especially concerning linguistic (in)justice that stems from the policies that hinder sustainability of Arbanasi language use in the long run. Keywords: language sustainability, language orientations, language policy and planning, Arbanasi 1 Introduction Languages never operate independently of power relations (Bourdieu 2005), so the question we pose is in what contexts certain languages are perceived more valuable than the others.

  • France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.)
    France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History August 2015 © “This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Abstract This thesis examines French relations with Yugoslavia in the twentieth century and its response to the federal republic’s dissolution in the 1990s. In doing so it contributes to studies of post-Cold War international politics and international diplomacy during the Yugoslav Wars. It utilises a wide-range of source materials, including: archival documents, interviews, memoirs, newspaper articles and speeches. Many contemporary commentators on French policy towards Yugoslavia believed that the Mitterrand administration’s approach was anachronistic, based upon a fear of a resurgent and newly reunified Germany and an historical friendship with Serbia; this narrative has hitherto remained largely unchallenged. Whilst history did weigh heavily on Mitterrand’s perceptions of the conflicts in Yugoslavia, this thesis argues that France’s Yugoslav policy was more the logical outcome of longer-term trends in French and Mitterrandienne foreign policy. Furthermore, it reflected a determined effort by France to ensure that its long-established preferences for post-Cold War security were at the forefront of European and international politics; its strong position in all significant international multilateral institutions provided an important platform to do so.

The exhibition gives a historical view of book preparation and design in Croatia from the Middle Ages to the present day. It includes manuscript and printed books on different topics and themes, from mediaeval evangelistaries and missals to contemporary illustrated editions, print portfolios and artists’ books. Featured are the items that represent the best samples of artistic book design in Croatia with regard to their graphic design and harmonious relationship between the visual and graphic layout and content. The author of the exhibition is art historian Milan Pelc, who selected 60 items for presentation on panels. In addition to the introductory essay, the publication contains the catalogue of items with short descriptions. 4 Milan Pelc CENTURIES OF BOOK ART IN CROATIA Introduction Book art, a constituent part of written culture and Croatian cultural heritage as a whole, is ex- ceptionally rich and diverse. This essay does not pretend to describe it in its entirety. Its goal is to shed light on some (key) moments in its complex historical development and point to its most important specificities. The essay does not pertain to entire Croatian literary heritage, but only to the part created on the historical Croatian territory and created by the Croats. Namely, with regard to its origins, the Croatian literary heritage can be divided into three big groups.

  • The Praxis School's Marxist Humanism and Mihailo Marković's
    The Praxis School’s Marxist Humanism and Mihailo Marković’s Theory of Communication Christian Fuchs Fuchs, Christian. 2017. The Praxis School’s Marxist Humanism and Mihailo Marković’s Theory of Communication. Critique 45 (1-2): 159-182. Full version: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03017605.2016.1268456 Abstract <159:> Mihailo Marković (1923-2010) was one of the leading members of the Yugoslav Praxis Group. Among other topics, he worked on the theory of communication and dialectical meaning, which makes his approach relevant for a contemporary critical theory of communication. This paper asks: How did Mihailo Marković conceive of communication? Marković turned towards Serbian nationalism and became the Vice-President of the Serbian Socialist Party. Given that nationalism is a particular form of ideological communication, an ideological anti-praxis that communicates the principle of nationhood, a critical theory of communication also needs to engage with aspects of ideology and nationalism. This paper therefore also asks whether there is a nationalist potential in Marković’s theory in particular or even in Marxist humanism in general. For providing answers to these questions, the article revisits Yugoslav praxis philosophy, the concepts of praxis, communication, ideology and nationalism. It shows the importance of a full humanism and the pitfalls of truncated humanism in critical theory in general and the critical theory of communication in particular. Taking into account complete humanism, the paper introduces the concept of praxis communication. Keywords: praxis, praxis philosophy, Yugoslavia, Praxis School, Praxis Group, Mihailo Marković, critical theory of communication, Marxist theory, humanism, nationalism, ideology, praxis communication 1. Introduction The Praxis Group was a community of scholars in Yugoslavia.
