assessment of a successful transition of societies from non- democratic to democratic systems is the potential of the civil sector and active involvement of the population and different stakeholders into the processes of decision making and managing political, economic and cultural projects. Croatian society, as numerous scientific analyses show, possesses an exceptionally low level of citizen activity in a sector considered to be an important link between the state and private sector, not to mention a necessary corrective of the processes, in case of adoption of decisions aimed against the public interest in the long- term. For this reason, every action aimed to warn about irregularities related to the manners various business or state subjects function and operate is a welcome news for development of a democratic potential of the society. On the other hand, this is always disputed by those in position of power since the spread of democracy tapers their power. In the introduction we want to underline the importance of sport in society and describe sport in the context of public policy that has effect on other public policies. Sport affects politics, economy, culture, identity which makes it an important factor in the policy of a country. Therefore, the importance of football as the most popular and most influential sport in Croatia is imposed realistically as a consequence of the importance of sport. Although sport rarely is a primary topic of public political discussions, we think that its importance is neglected and that the impact of sport at an amateur, and especially recreational level can bring multiple benefits for health, educational and criminal policies of a society. Habits acquired by engaging in sport activities impact society in the long-term and permanently. The importance of sport is additionally extended and professionalized by the fact that sport is becoming more and more of a mass phenomenon. Involvement of a larger number of active participants has allowed it to become a great business and to distance itself from the initial ideal of the game. The Dutch historian Johan Huizinga points out that “it is today in particular, that the tendencies to subtract the characteristics of a game, i.e. amusement and spontaneity, 1 come to the fore”. The domination of market elements combined with exquisite competitiveness takes away the pristine element of sport. In so doing, it is not to be forgotten that a player is above all a person, and only then a football player. 1.2 Hajduk as a stakeholder in the process of change Having asserted the importance of sport in society, it is important to assert the importance of HNK Hajduk for the Croatian sport, which makes it a crucial stakeholder whose moral obligation is to draw attention to the current situation in Croatian football and to offer possible, better solutions. On the one hand it is all about the cultural

  • 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.

However, EURO 2008 convinced me that it was a good idea. Once again, the tournament illustrated the extraordinary passion generated by national team football and gave rise to such a fantastic party atmosphere that I felt it was only right for the tournament to be extended to more countries, to let even more supporters take part and to spread the excitement and party atmosphere far and wide across the continent. I also felt that the emotion of the tournament should be heightened by adding a direct knockout round for the last 16 in the competition and by ensuring that all the group matches, or the vast majority of them at least, would be crucial, by allowing the best third-placed teams through to the next round. The quality of the matches we saw during EURO 2008 also confirmed the high technical level of European football, and teams like England, Scotland and IN THIS ISSUE Denmark, or even Serbia and Ukraine – to name but a few – would certainly not UEFA Cup groups 03 have reduced the quality of the tournament.
