| Title | Within and Outside the Political System: Comparative Approach to Abortive Radical Right Movements ORJUNA, HANAO and SRNAO in Yugoslavia 1921-1929 |
| Summary | This thesis deals with three different radical right movements in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in the period between 1921 and 1929. The main aim is to see why these movements, although with a significant membership, strong internal organisation and ties in with different movements and parties never managed to obtain state power within this period, and were subsequently aborted by the regime. These movements are also important as they represent three different national projects, which were competing within a single state. My argument is that these movements never achieved the status of their fascist counterparts in Italy because they either depended on other political organisations for support, were under the attack of the regime because of their violent actions, or they failed because of their own proclaimed ideological goals. All three movements faced different problems in main aspects of their functions, and a combination of previously mentioned factors led to their abolishment in 1929. Thus, the main aim of my research is twofold. First, I hope that this thesis will provide an answer as to why these three movements never moved from the stage of initial grassroots organisations, although they certainly had the potential to do so. Second, by studying ORJUNA, HANAO and SRNAO comparatively I want to identify and categorise main features of these movements which would allow for a greater insight in the question of transfer of ideas and influences between them. |
