Uvod Vlado Gotovac (Vladimir Gotovac, Imotski, 18.9.1930. - Rim, 7.12.2000.) bio je nekonvencionalan protagonist hrvatske političke, a i šire povijesne scene, naime literarne i filozofske. I u poetici i u politici nastojao je djelovati polazeći od etičkih imperativa. Poznat je njegov apel: „Čuvajte mi Hrvatsku od niskosti i mržnje.“1 Po svjetonazoru je Gotovac pripadao u malobrojan krug katoličkih intelektualaca liberalnog opredjeljenja. Njihov utjecaj je obično bio snažniji na području javne riječi2 nego u izravnome političkom djelovanju, ali Gotovac je prešao tu granicu kada je, kao glavni urednik Hrvatskog tjednika, svojim uvodnicima nastojao i politički artikulirati ono što je smatrao kolektivnim težnjama u tadašnjoj Hrvatskoj. Zbog toga je pretrpio tegobno političko zatočeništvo, radi toga se potkraj osamdesetih među prvima uključio u višestranačku politiku kao stranački prvak, saborski zastupnik i predsjednički kandidat. 1.1 Razlozi za Gotovčevu političku biografiju Politička biografija izrazito je stari književni žanr. U tome smislu sjećanje seže do biografija kraljeva Izraela i Jude u Starome Zavjetu. Kronološki, poznati su i Svetonijevi senzacionalistički Dvanaest careva i Plutarhovi Usporedni životopisi. Tada, kao i danas, političke biografije daju uvid i u općenite prilike u danom društvu, osim podataka o konkretnoj osobi. U suvremenoj političkoj biografiji autor pokušava unijeti život u arhivske dokumente, kao što su pisma, dnevnici i razni certifikati kako bi dali doprinos tumačenju života određene osobe kroz nezaobilazno subjektivnom i interpretativne metode. Svaka biografija, tako i ona politička, mora nužno uzeti u obzir sve one osobne, profesionalne i duhovne promjene koje je proučavana osoba prošla tijekom svoga života, kako uočava Tracey Arklay3. Najčešće primjećujemo pet vrsta biografskih radova: znanstvena kronika, intelektualna biografija, pisanje povijesti života, biografija memoara i narativna biografija. Naravno, sve te vrste mogu biti prisutne u nekome cjelovitu biografskom radu. 1 Zatvorski dnevnik 1972. 2 Tako su se profilirali, na primjer, Branimir Donat (Tvrtko Zane, 1934.-2010.), odnosno Zvonimir Berković (1928.-20009.) 3 Arklay, T., Political Biography: Its Contribution to Political Science, http://press- files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p69061/mobile/ch02.html (pristupljeno 20.8.2019.) 4 Znanstvena je kronika najčešća vrsta biografskog rada s naglaskom na povijesni prikaz života pojedinca, kronološkim redoslijedom. Intelektualna biografija ne poštuje nužno osnovnu kronološku strukturu i razvija narativ života kroz konceptualnu analizu uvjerenja, htijenja i ostvarenja subjekta u domeni ideja. Oblik biografskoga rada koji možemo definirati kao „pisanje povijesti života“ usko je povezan s metodologijom usmene povijesti i koristan je za istraživanje studija slučajeva. Memoaristička biografija, s druge strane, stavlja naglasak na biografove motive naspram subjekta istraživanja i stilskim prikazom razmišljanja biografa u odnosu na stvaran život subjekta. Posljednja vrsta, narativna biografija,

Dr Trevor Waters Introduction Croatia's passage into the new millennium was marked by the death, on 10 December 1999, of the self-proclaimed "Father of the Nation", President Dr Franjo Tudjman; by make or break Parliamentary Elections, held on 3 January 2000, which secured the crushing defeat of the former president's ruling Croatian Democratic Union, yielded victory for an alliance of the six mainstream opposition parties, and ushered in a new coalition government strong enough to implement far-reaching reform; and by two rounds, on 24 January and 7 February, of Presidential Elections which resulted in a surprising and spectacular victory for the charismatic Stipe Mesić, Yugoslavia's last president, nonetheless considered by many Croats at the start of the campaign as an outsider, a man from the past.

    4 Contemporary accounts of Croatian national identity According to Benedict Anderson , ‘communities are to be distinguished, not by their falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which they are imagined’.1 This chapter investigates how the Croatian nation was imagined in the 1990s. It focuses on four sets of accounts that attempted to provide contemporary resonance to the abstract frames of national identity discussed in the previous chapter. These accounts attempted to either interpret what it meant to be Croatian in order to secure support for a political programme, or – as in the case of the dissident intellectuals – to challenge such accounts. However, they all attempted to give resonance to abstract ideas in the contemporary context. After a discussion of the so-called ‘Franjoist’ narrative offered by President Franjo Tuœman and his party, I will discuss alternative conceptions of identity that were articulated by opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and the Croatian diaspora. I argue that each of these ‘political entrepreneurs’ drew upon, and offered interpretations of, the historical statehood thesis in order to legitimise their programmes or to challenge the manifestos of others. The abstract frames discussed in the previous chapter therefore presented common frames of reference with which to seek legitimacy for political practices or to use to question that legitimacy. One of the central themes of this chapter is that different accounts of national identity (which draw upon a common stock of narrative or makes use of similar ‘frames’) inform political discourse and compete with each other. As Michael Billig argued: Different factions, whether classes, religions, genders or ethnicities, always struggle for the power to speak for the nation, and to present their particular voice as the voice of the national whole, defining the history of other sub-sections accordingly.

    105th CONGRESS Printed for the use of the 1st Session Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe Current Situation in Croatia March 21, 1997 Briefing of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION (OSCE) The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the Helsinki process, traces its origin to the signing of the Helsinki Final Act in Finland on August 1, 1975, by the leaders of 33 European countries, the United States and Canada. Since then, its membership has expanded to 55, reflecting the breakup of the Soviet Union, Czechoslova- kia, and Yugoslavia. (The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, has been suspended since 1992, leaving the number of countries fully participating at 54.) As of Janu- ary 1, 1995, the formal name of the Helsinki process was changed to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The OSCE is engaged in standard setting in fields including military security, economic and environmental cooperation, and human rights and humanitarian concerns. In addition, it undertakes a variety of preventive diplomacy initiatives designed to prevent, manage and resolve conflict within and among the participating States. The OSCE has its main office in Vienna, Austria, where weekly meetings of permanent representatives are held. In addition, specialized seminars and meetings are convened in various locations and periodic consultations among Senior Officials, Ministers and Heads of State or Government are held. ABOUT THE COMMISSION (CSCE) The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), also known as the Helsinki Commission, is a U.S. Government agency created in 1976 to monitor and encour- age compliance with the agreements of the OSCE.

  • Party Outcomes in Hybrid Regimes in the Western Balkans and Beyond
    Party Outcomes in Hybrid Regimes in the Western Balkans and Beyond By Ivan Vuković Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Supervisor: Professor Zsolt Enyedi Budapest, May 2014 Abstract Most political parties that had been ruling in hybrid regimes lost power as these regimes ceased to exist i.e. democratized. Yet, some of these parties remained politically dominant notwithstanding the regime change. This PhD thesis aims to offer a plausible explanation of their different political fates (here defined as party outcomes). Its main focus is on the incumbent parties in hybrid regimes that existed in Serbia, Croatia, and Montenegro during the last decade of the 20th century. In addition, the thesis looks at a larger population of similar cases with the ambition to contribute to a better general understanding of the diverging party outcomes. The thesis puts forward a theoretically innovative model explaining the party outcomes, founded upon the two assumptions: (1) the diverging fates of dominant parties in hybrid regimes are determined by these parties’ (lack of) institutionalization; (2) (the lack of) their institutionalization is determined by the salience of the national question in the process of political mobilization leading to the regime establishment. Process tracing method is employed to test the presence in the three cases under observation of the thus constructed causal mechanism linking the hypothesized conditions (nationalist mobilization and the lack of party institutionalization) and party outcome (the loss of power). The theoretical relevance of the results of the analysis, supported by numerous causal process observations (including, among others, 27 in-depth interviews), is subsequently assessed within a broader empirical domain.

  • The Formation of Croatian National Identity
    bellamy [22.5].jkt 21/8/03 4:43 pm Page 1 Europeinchange E K T C The formation of Croatian national identity ✭ This volume assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework that calls both primordialist and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity into question before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so it not only provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important but also closely examines 1990s Croatia in a unique way. An explanation of how Croatian national identity was formed in an abstract way by a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state is given. The book goes on to show how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora change change groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to The formation legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different visions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were in manifested in social activities as diverse as football and religion, in of Croatian economics and language. ✭ This volume marks an important contribution to both the way we national identity bellamy study nationalism and national identity and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.

RE-IMAGINING YUGOSLAVIA Learning and Living with Diverse Cultural Identities Radoslav Draskovic Master of Arts, 2010 Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract of Thesis: This thesis uses the example of Yugoslavia-the land of the South Slavs (also known as the Balkans) - to study how the twists and turns of historical evolution have been reflected in communal understanding of that history. Key words: imagined communities, nation-state, historical memory, the study of history. ii Acknowledgments: The great Mahatma Gandhi once said: “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it”. I found that this sentence appropriately describes every human endeavor including the road I have chosen for the last three years of my life. This thesis marks the conclusion of a deeply personal journey as well as a great learning experience that I had at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at University of Toronto At the end of this trip, before anyone else, I would like to thank my professors Harold Troper and David Levine who have taught me a great deal during the course of my studies, with their views, knowledge and advice. I am especially grateful to my mentor, Professor David Levine, for his intellectual guidance, patience and understanding of all the challenges that I met during the course of my study and while writing this thesis.

It begins with a discussion of the suppression of patriotic music in the early decades of socialist Yugoslavia, when the regime attempted to create a supranational culture that would unify Yugoslavia’s constituent nations. It then analyses the national cultural revival in Croatia in the late 1960s that prompted a political movement known as the Croatian Spring, when the pop singer Vice Vukov incorporated Croatian patriotic themes into his songs. In the years following the crushing of the Croatian Spring in 1971, Croatian nationalism was again suppressed in politics and music, and because of this stifling of political opposition Croatia was dubbed “the silent republic.” For the rest of the 1970s the political function of pop and rock music was reflected in its glorification of Yugoslavia and its leader, Josip Broz Tito.

Box 8795, Williamsburg, VA 23187, USA b Center for International Development, State University of New York, Albany, NY, USA Available online 22 October 2008 Abstract Croatia’s complex and violent transition contributed to conditions under which ex- communists have exerted significant influence over multiple post-Communist parties. In the 1990s, the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) led by President Franjo Tudjman employed war to impose a semi-authoritarian system that further weakened the electoral prospects of the most logical Communist successor partydthe Social Democratic Party (SDP). The SDP-led coalition’s win in the 2000 elections ushered in conditions that enabled a deeper democrati- zation in Croatia that brought it closer toward integration into the EU.
