by regression accompanied by many difficulties of incorporation into the dominant trends
of modern society. Although impacting ruris in general, such experiences are particularly
present in so called countries in transition of Middle and East Europe. The same is true for
Croatian rural areas, too, although their development was different than that of “classical”
countires in transition. Enquiring some of the relations between the Croatian rural areas
and those in other countries in transition and some of their respective peculiarities, make
the framework of this article.
