Scorched Earth and Subterranean Blues: Notes on the Landscape of the Democratic Left in Croatia

摘要

This article examines the recent trajectories of the Croatian progressive civil society and the party-political Left. We place emphasis on an analysis of supply-side factors implicated in the left-wing impasse after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, as well as in the current changing situation on the Croatian Left. In conclusion, we present some thoughts on the Lefta??s major strategic challenges, emphasizing the importance of a pluralistic system of alliances and of an accumulation of material, cultural and intellectual resources for an authentic rebirth of the Left.View full textDownload full textKeywordsCroatia, civil society, trade unions, political parties, media, the historical blocRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0965156X.2013.799261
