Abstract
The author analizes the concept of the state and the nation in the political thinking of Stjepan Radić up to 1914 and points to Radić's familiarity with the significant sociological theories of the time.
The concept of the state was taken over by Radić from the Austrian sociologist L. Gumplowitz while his understanding of the nation was close to that of E. Renan. These insights are related to contemporary theories of the nation. The author stresses the fact that Radić's understanding of the state and the nation corresponded to the level of theoretical thinking of his time.
