Sažetak
Three sets of problems are set forth in detail. These sets outline the most significant totalitarian features of today’s Croatian political and social life. The first set is the ideological project of national sovereignty, defined by the platform of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). The second set relates to the systemic position of the HDZ’s president as head of state. The third deals with the HDZ’s policy towards the neighbouring state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This analysis shows that the central problem of Croatian political circumstances lies in the inability of HDZ to structure the public and political space as a state, and social field as a civil society. Thus, HDZ generates totalitarian tendencies in today’s Croatian state. However, these are not the dominant features of Croatian political and social regime, since HDZ is not ideologically and politically powerful enough to shape the Croatian state and society on its own. The second Croatian republic has not become a totalitarian community, but an authoritarian state with marked totalitarian features, but also with an increasingly more pronounced democratic and liberal potential.
