“…After the Second World War it "indicated an alternative to both capitalism and communism" (Keman 2011). Kregar emphasizes that the notion of the "third way" was to overcome existing old divisions in order to form a new policy suitable to the new economic and social situation (Kregar 2000). In Anthony Giddens's most influential work , the third way can be seen as a synthesis of an element of social democracy and liberalism, which could lead to reinforce the stability of democracy in postmodern societies (Giddens 1998(Giddens , Šalaj 2006.…”

The present paper analyzes the media representation of the idea of the “third force” in politics. The research focuses on how the notion is being staged and visualized in order to create the impression of a new and fresh agent in the race for power. The case of MOST, a political coalition which gained importance in the 2015 Croatian parliamentary election, seems particularly important and adequate for the purpose. I do not discuss programs, political aims or visions of the main political parties. Rather, I propose a semiotic analysis of public communication. Attention will be paid to performative aspects of television broadcasts, organization of the space where negotiations were held, visual relations between political actors. The broadcasts, and the broadly taken space of public contact, will be treated as a stage, and actions taking place on such a stage as a political drama, with a screenplay which may be, but is not necessarily, conscious and planned. When seen from this perspective, the focus of interest does not lie on the purposeful layout of seating in a meeting or a public communique, but on unconscious cultural patterns which have a great impact on our decisions, choices, and perceptions. Ultimately, the electoral success of MOST was related not only to its program, but also–or maybe mostly – to its performative policy and its consistent positioning as a new actor in the political field.

Welfare state: Evolution of an idea

Originating from the so-called 'care of the poor', with substantially modified functions in later periods (which in turn determined its scope), the contemporary welfare state is currently at a crossroads, after the profound influence it exerted on the transformation of 20th century capitalism. Changes in conditions and circumstances in which it operates, in resources at its disposal, and in social forces defending it raise a number of questions regarding its survival. This in turn has consequences on the (achieved and future) level of social security of the population, and on the humanization of their living and working conditions. The emancipator potential of the welfare state, from the perspective of pursuing the goals of social inclusion, derives from the view that difficulties people in society are facing are not problems to be solved just by the individual and his/her family but which also demand complementary involvement of the state
