  • 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.

  • In Memoriam Ivo Banac
    In memoriam Ivo Banac Martin Previšić Ivo Banac (1947-2020) ana 30. lipnja 2020. godine u Svetoj Nedjelji umro je povjesničar Ivo Banac, professor emeritus Sveučilišta Yale i umirovljeni profesor Sve- Dučilišta u Zagrebu. Odlaskom profesora Ive Banca nastala je velika praznina u hrvatskoj i svjetskoj historiografiji. Mali je broj povjesničara s ovih prostora koji su izgradili takvu impresivnu akademsku i društvenu karijeru u Hrvatskoj i svijetu kao što je ona profesora Banca. Međutim, od početka života njegov samostalan i neobičan put obilježila su dinamična događanja druge polovine 20. stoljeća. Obiteljska povijest, a na koncu i njegovo zanimanje činili su život i karijeru Ive Banca vrlo posebni- ma, što se očituje u njegovu djelu. Sigurno su velike mijene utjecale i na samog Banca, njegove perspektive i uvjerenja, životni put i pristup dolazećim izazovima. Dubrovnik je činio velik dio njegova emocionalnog backgrounda pa je taj grad cijeloga života bio predmet Bančeva interesa i mjesto koje je jedino, u punom smislu te riječi, zvao domom. Kao potomak ugledne dubrovačke obitelji Banac je odmalena nosio u sebi osjećaj pripadnosti specifičnoj kulturi koja je u sebi sažimala obilježja lokalnoga građanskog sloja, brojne kozmopolitske trendove, ali i usječenost u tradicijske osnove tog vremena. Bančev je život, kao i brojne sudbine vezane uz njega, posebno odredilo iskustvo Drugoga svjetskog rata. Pobjedom komunista i uspostavom novog sustava nakon 1945, promijenjena je sudbina njegove obitelji jer su imućni i građanski slojevi i industrijalci bili posebno pogođeni revolucionarnim nastojanjima Partije, definiranima u stalji- nizacijskim efektima nacionalizacije. U tim okolnostima rođen je Ivo Banac 1. ožujka 1947. u Dubrovniku. Njegovo je djetinjstvo proteklo u ozračju ne samo općenito teškog vremena već i novog položaja njegove obitelji.

Critical Observations OF the Croatian American Intellectuals During the Establishment OF Political Relations Between Croatia and the United States, 1990-1992 Albert Bing* Croatia secured its state independence during the turbulent collapse of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Socijalistička Federativna Republika Jugoslavija - SFRJ) from 1990 to 1992 under exceptionally complex interna- tional circumstances. The world’s most influential countries, first and fore- most the United States, upheld the unity and territorial integrity of Yugoslavia despite clear indications of its violent break-up.1 After the democratic chang- es of 1990, an exceptionally important matter for Croatia’s independence was the internationalization of the Yugoslav crisis. The unraveling of the Yugoslav state union dictated a redefinition of the status of the republics as its constitu- ent units; in this process, in line with national homogenization which consti- tuted the dominant component of societal transition at the time, the question of redefining national identities came to the forefront. The problem of pre- senting Croatia as a self-contained geopolitical unit, entailing arguments that should accompany its quest for state independence, imposed itself in this con- text.

  • Tito, Yugoslavia, and Communism: Historical Revisionism of the Second World War and Its Competing Memories
    Tito, Yugoslavia, and Communism: Historical Revisionism of the Second World War and its Competing Memories A thesis submitted by Damir Vucicevic In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History TUFTS UNIVERSITY May 2017 Advisor: Peter Winn i ABSTRACT The Second World War had a traumatizing effect on Yugoslavia and its people. In addition to being partitioned by Italy, Germany, and other foreign powers, Yugoslavia also experienced a bloody, fratricidal war. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the communist Partisans of Yugoslavia, who were victorious against the Nazi occupying powers, attempted to heal the country’s wounds by preaching brotherhood and unity amongst the different nationalities. However, for some, the period after WWII and before the break up of the country in 1990s, was nothing but an illusive compromise. By the 1990s, competing claims of victimhood resurfaced, fostered by anti-communist, neo-fascist political elites who advocated for Yugoslavia’s disintegration. Since then, history books have been revised, socialist-era narratives have been challenged, and sites of memory relating to Tito and Yugoslavia have been destroyed, all which has resulted in dissonant collective memories. This thesis assesses how memories of WWII contributed to the violence of the 1990s and discusses the role of new ruling elites in creating myths of victimhood in order to justify their own power, as well as armed conflict, ethnic cleansing, and political polarization. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to the people who have supported me in my writing journey. First, I would like to thank Professor Peter Winn, who inspired me to write this thesis.

  • Evaluating Tuđman's Foreign Policy
    Međunarodne studije, god. 13, br. 3-4, 2013, str. 55-79 55 Pregledni znanstveni članak UDK: 327(497.5)”1991/2000” Evaluating Tuđman’s Foreign Policy (Un)successful Protection of National Interest; From Defender to Despot1 Bojana Klepač Pogrmilović* Summary The majority of Croatian foreign policy creators and certain scholars evaluate Croatian foreign policy as very successful, especially when compared to do- mestic policy. Furthermore, the first Croatian president Franjo Tuđman – the main creator of Croatian foreign policy during the 1991-2000 period – is of- ten invoked as a supreme defender of Croatian national interests. This article challenges such positions by setting up a normative framework, which states that Croatian national interest was (is) to become a functional Europeanized parliamentary democracy, based on values, norms and principles formulated in acquis communautaire. Through simplified normativism, the article evalu- ates four main points: “respect for sovereignty”, “peace”, “market economy” and “rule of law” in which the Croatian foreign policy, whose main creator was Franjo Tuđman, largely contributed to the alienation of Croatia from its vital national interest. The final part of the article evaluates Tuđman’s thought that focuses mainly on the position of small peoples within multinational en- tities, democracy, Croatia and the EU etc. One of the main reasons of a failed democratic transition is found in Tuđman’s perception that Croatia became a democratic state just by formally adopting a democratic Constitution. Key words: Franjo Tuđman, national interests, Croatian foreign policy, Euro- peanization, (de)Tuđmanization Introduction On the “historical day for Croatia”, when its “return to Europe” was finally about to happen, there were “two Croats”.

Citizens are not obliged to declare their nationality if they don’t want to, I say. In real life it’s different, they say, everybody is obliged to be someone.

That’s why we have wars, they say, because people like you wanted us all to be no one. --Dubravka Ugresic, Nice People Don’t Mention Such Things vi ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Nationalism in Practice: Assimilation, Expulsion, and Extermination in the Balkans, 1913-1945 by Josef M. Djordjevski Master of Arts in History San Diego State University, 2012 This work examines how force has been used in the process of nation-building in the Balkans from the Balkan Wars to the end of World War II, particularly among the Slavs of Macedonia and the Serbs of Croatia. By looking at the development of nationalism from its conception in the 18th and 19th centuries to its “apogee” in the first half of the 20th century, this thesis also explores Balkan events and ideas of nationality and nationhood in the region while putting them into a broader European context.

  • Independent Croatia: History, Issues, and Policy
    DÉLKELET EURÓPA – SOUTH -EAST EUROPE International Relations Quarterly Vol. 2. No. 1. (Spring 2011/1 Tavasz) INDEPENDENT CROATIA: HISTORY, ISSUES, AND POLICY IVO BANAC Prof. Ivo Banac Yale University Contemporary Croatia is a product of a long history and a momentary opportunity. The political framework of these processes is the real contribution of a rudimentary state that the Croat clans founded in the shade of the vestiges of Rome – literally outside the coastal Byzantine possessions in Dalmatia, itself a Roman administrative unit; and in the proximity of Charlemagne’s empire, itself an imitation of Rome. The political marginality of the Croats in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has contributed to the aggrandizement of the Croat image of their medieval protostate. Still, just as elsewhere in Europe, medieval statehood generally was not ethnically conceived. Moreover, it was seigniorial and highly regionalized. Its territory varied from the original principality that extended from Nin to the Cetina River in present-day northern Dalmatia to the relatively larger territories of the last of the medieval kings. These included much of Croatia’s present territory and most of western Bosnia (to the Vrbas River). From the modern point of view, the twelfth-century integration of this state with Hungary was an epic disaster. Contemporaries did not view it as such and were not in fact diminished in self-rule. Croatia, no less than Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary, developed in the maze of feudal ties that had nothing to do with modern ethnicities. The noble elites of these states practiced their own form of parliamentary rule, closed to the non-nobles, but open to the royally- appointed newcomers, including Orthodox Christians.

    LOCKED IN: THE SILENT SIEGE OF DUBROVNIK BY THE TOURISM INDUSTRY LAUREN A. RACUSIN COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING, and PRESERVATION URBAN PLANNING and HISTORIC PRESERVATION THESIS 2012 1 LOCKED IN: THE SILENT SIEGE OF DUBROVNIK BY THE TOURISM INDUSTRY Lauren A. Racusin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees Master of Science in Historic Preservation Master of Science in Urban Planning Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY May 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that Yugoslavia and an independent Croatia used Dubrovnik’s cultural heritage to define and substantiate themselves as they emerged from political upheaval, disrupted economies, and nascent institutional foundations and thus firmly embedded the tourism industry within their political economies as more than an economic tool. Through the tourism industry, the cultural heritage of Dubrovnik played a fundamental role, symboli- cally and economically, in their process of nation building. As an emblematic site of historic and national significance, Dubrovnik represented the freedom and wealth of culture that bothYugoslavia and Croatia as new unsteady political institutions sought to evoke. Within bolstering the tourism industry, Yugoslavia and Croatia cultivated Dubrovnik’s path dependency in the sector, which resulted in its contemporary “lock-in” and mono-economy. This study of Dubrovnik will elucidate the role of path dependency in shaping Dubrovnik’s economy, political actors, and

  • Old Dubrovnik, Young Serbia and Vague Croatia. Mental Maps in the Serb-Catholic Imagination in Dubrovnik
    Acta Poloniae Historica 121, 2020 PL ISSN 0001–6829 Maciej Czerwiński https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6602-1299 Institute of Slavonic Studies, Jagiellonian University OLD DUBROVNIK, YOUNG SERBIA AND VAGUE CROATIA. MENTAL MAPS IN THE SERB-CATHOLIC IMAGINATION IN DUBROVNIK Abstract This article describes the experience of the community of Serb-Catholics living in Dubrovnik in the early twentieth century. It is based primarily on an investigation of the literary and cultural periodical Srdj (1902–08). This study focuses, fi rstly, on the conceptual ambivalence resulting from efforts to apply linguistic criteria to determine Serbian identity and, secondly, on the efforts to construct a mental map that would serve projections of Serbian symbolic territory. While the presence of the Serb-Catholic milieu in the city was short-lived (from the mid-nineteenth century to the First World War), it nevertheless left traces on the urban landscape that typifi ed the ambivalent formation of national identity along religious lines, as Croatians were associated with Catholicism and Serbs with Orthodoxy. Keywords: Serb-Catholics, Dubrovnik, Dalmatia, nation-building, Serbia, Habsburg monarchy I INTRODUCTION A glance at the map of the Habsburg Monarchy following the Aus- tro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 reveals emphatically just how peripheral a place Dalmatia (offi cially the Kingdom of Dalmatia) had in the Empire. Dubrovnik had an even less important position. This once wealthy commune that had competed with Venice in terms of status was now located at the periphery of a periphery, squeezed into a narrow isthmus between the Adriatic and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Owing to its exceptionally rich culture – which is evident both in the cultural landscape (architecture) and in writing (in documents from the past and in literature) – Croatians and Serbians alike, as well as Italians http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/APH.2020.121.07 144 Maciej Czerwiński in some sense, have staked claims to Dubrovnik.
