The Beginnings of Population Transition in Croatia and its Socio-economic Foundations (until 1918)
Igor Karaman
Sažetak
In the last century — i.e. from the
mid — 19th century until the
present — population change in
Croatia has basically been marked
by developmental currents of
demographic (demoreproductional
transition. Considering that
population transition is a
fundamental process in social
modernization as a whole, in this
article the author studies, from the
socio-historical aspect, initial
phenomena in the gradual
transformation of the inherited
traditional systeam of
demoproduction in Croatia (until
World War I).
Special attention is paid to the
beginnings of development of the
middle-class society and the
capitalist economy, because internal
factors indispensible for
demoreproductive transition stem
from progress in the framework of
socio-economic relations. But he
also points to the role of the state
— as bearer of modernization from
above (external and internal) — in
achieving initial results in the
transformation of existing traditioni
relations in all the fields of human
life and work. The author also
emphasizes that the scientific
analysis of available demographic
indicators of population change in
Croatia must especially shed light
on the different socio-historical
development of different Croatian
regions under Hapsburg rule (until
1918); some deformative phenomena
in the initial modernization of the
Croatian society are also shown.
In the introductory and concluding
discussions the author stresses the
importance of a complex
interdisciplinary approach to
fundamental research into modern
population change, with the
possibility of using relevant
historiographic results about the
initial period of population
transition in Croatia.
