“…They manipulated elections by exploiting state resources, falsifying votes and maintaining a control over key media outlets (Milačić, 2017b). Accumulation of power in Tudjman's hands and the dismantling of checks and balances were justified by Tudjman as being in the interest of the ‘unity of the state policy’ in the times of war (cited in Zakošek & Markšić, 2010, p. 783). Accordingly, authoritarian measures were introduced as formal rules—such as the Law on Local Self‐Government and Administration that granted Tudjman the power to confirm or reject the Prefect.…”

With respect to the relationship between the state and democracy, the scholarly research thus far has mainly oscillated between two perspectives: 'no state, no democracy' versus 'no democracy, no state'. Using the example of former Yugoslav republics and based on Mill's method of difference that is complemented with process tracing, we offer an alternative approach. We posit that a democracy can emerge within the context of unresolved matters of state and nation but it is unlikely that it will flourish. Furthermore, we argue that stateness problem creates conditions that facilitate democratic backsliding even if a country achieves a considerable level of democratic development: a fertile ground for ethno-political entrepreneurship and national identity-based political divisions that promote polarization. Accordingly, besides facilitating democratization, a resolved stateness problem should be regarded as a condition that fosters democratic resilience as well. The article contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between the state and democracy and reveals the mechanisms that are behind a successful subversion of democracy in the name of the nation.

“…Ethno‐nationalist mobilisation affected the civil society as well, which soon turned into an uncivil society. Many CSOs supported national homogenisation unconditionally and were embedded in clientelistic structures (Zakošek & Markšić, 2010, p. 813).…”

“…Croatia and BiH are of the similar size, similar set up of sub-national government, and unfortunately share similar history of ethnical conflicts. Declaration of independence 1991 has caused an armed conflict that shaped the attitude of public sector towards (de)centralization [24]. The major characteristics of first government structure in Croatia were highly centralized financial flows and authoritarian decision-making 3 .…”

“…Socioekonomski rascjepi rezultat su sukoba oko pristupa proizvodnim resursima i kontrole nad njima. 44 Stranački rascjep u Republici Hrvatskoj još uvijek je zasnovan na nacionalno identitetskim i kulturnim varijablama, a ne na ekonomsko institucionalnim. Hrvatski stranački sustav pokazuje unikum, a to je stabilnost biračkog tijela HDZ-a nasuprot izrazite nestabilnosti biračkog tijela lijevo liberalnih stranaka.…”

Istraživanja identiteta pojedinih naroda ili etničkih skupina ne razlikuju se značajno u svom metodološkom pristupu koliko u činjenici da osjećaj zajedništva, što je osnova kolektivnog identiteta, može biti postavljen na potpuno različitim osnovama. Posebnosti koje određuju neki identitet rezultat su prvenstveno povijesnog i institucionalnog konteksta u kojem se je razvijao. Kolektivni identiteti pokazuju bitnu razliku između političkih i kulturalnih koncepata identiteta. Međutim, Podgorci su vjekovima bili zadnja linija obrane kršćanskog svijeta i europske civilizacije od Turaka i islamizacije našeg kontinenta. U kontekstu Vojne krajine, kao institucionalne strukture u kojoj su bili na braniku kršćanstva, Podgorci su izgradili identitet koji bismo mogli definirati obilježjima ne samo kao kulturni već i kao politički. Istraživačka pitanja: Možemo li stoga, u ulozi čuvara kršćanstva, identitet Podgoraca definirati kao politički identitet koji sadrži zajedničke političke vrijednosti koje se iskazuju oko smisla i pravaca projekta političke zajednice? Mogu li se te identitetske posebnosti analizirati i u kontekstu političke preferencije biračkog tijela kao kršćanskokonzervativno desno orijentirano?
