Sažetak
The author of this article investigates the balance of the modernisation of Croatian society in the period of twenty years following the fall of the Berlin Wall. The author presents five thesis. The first: Croatian state independence was not a direct repercussion of the fall of the Wall but developed of its own accord as a consequence of Croatia's autonomous defence against the aggression veered upon it. Second: norms and symbolism in Croatia's independence were defined by a new dual-wall: the relationship between the Wall of Pain and the Schengen Wall. That relationship was shaped dually yet into a unique modern base and reserve that allows for valid optimisation of Croatia's developmental abilities. Third: a realistic transformation of Croatian society however, it was mostly marked with a retreat from sovereignty. This is evident in several fundamental sectors of public affairs and in life itself (the political sector, financial sector, cultural industry, administration, etc). Fourth: the main root of retraeat from sovereignty is marked with predatory groups in entrepreneurship and the public sector acting on the premise of 'capitalism yes - Croatia no'. Their social and political roots in the totalitarian period and their activities have remained at just continuing the totalitarian construction of tradition with an institutional combination of (mis)use of resources originating in democratic tradition. Fifth: that developmental and modernisation model cannot be sustained long-term because it cannot ensure the flow of the required quantity of unpaid work in the public sector which is necessary for any normal functioning of an institutional combination and modern integration of society.
