| Title | THE CROATIAN SWITCH IN DOGMATISM:FROM COMMUNISM TO NATIONALISM |
| Summary | THIS THESIS DEALS WITH A SWITCH IN DOGMATISM THAT HAS HAPPENED DURING THE LATE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IN CROATIA. IN THIS PERIOD A VERY INFLUENTIAL DISCOURSE OF COMMUNISM WAS REPLACED BY THE DISCOURSE OF RIGHT-WING AUTHORITARIANISM AND EXTREME NATIONALISM.METHODOLOGY OF THE THESIS IS BASED ON COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SOURCES. TITO WAS HUGE POINT OF COMMON IDENTITY BETWEEN CULTURALLY, ECONOMICALLY AND RELIGIOUSLY DIVERSE ETHNIC GROUPS. AFTER HIS DEATH IN 1980 SUDEN MANIFESTATION OF EXTREME NATIONALISM APPEARED. NATIONALISMS WERE DEVELOPED ON THE BASIS OF MARTIROLOGY AND ESPECIALLY STRONG RELIGIOUS IDENTITY. DURING THE COMMUNIST ERA POLITICAL ELITES TRIED TO IMPOSE THE NATIONAL IDENTITY OF YUGOSLAVISM WHICH IS FOUNDED AND DEVELOPED ON THE WORKS OF JOSIP JURAJ STROSSMAYER AND DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD JOVAN CVIJIC. AFTER THE FALL OF BOTH COMMUNISM AND YUGOSLAVIA CROATIAN ETHNIC NATIONALISM REPLACED SUPRAETHNICAL YUGOSLAV NATIONALISM. |
