| Title | Party System Cartelization: The Case of Croatia |
| Summary | The aim of this thesis was to offer unique operationalization of cartel concept and to examine whether the cartel theory can be applied to the context beyond Western Europe. By choosing Croatia for the case study, we had the opportunity to see whether the strong and persistent cleavage can be a barrier for cartelization. According to data it seems that the level of party system cartelization was low. The party system is divided into three part which all show low cartelization except the concerning the issue on EU accession. Thus, the new light has been shed on cartel theory. It is not just that integration to EU fosters depoliticization of other issues but also the exclusion of EU accession issue from the agenda. |
