Abstract

Based on literature, party print and archive sources, in this paper the
author analyses the structure and role of individual, more or less organized
segments of the Pure Party of Right (Starčević’s Croatian Party of Right /
Party of Right) charged with the organisation of demonstrations and conflict
with political opponents. The starting point is the claim of Croatian
historiography that flrebelliousness« was a permanent characteristic of this
party from its beginning to the end of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The
author claims that some trace of such segments of the party, whose duty it
was to mobilize flthe street«, can only be traced back to as far as 1902. As
the social structure of these segments was mostly made up by Frankovci
working-class members and youth, the author brings the topic into
comparison with today’s student organizations and workers’ movements.
The author also studies the topic in relation to the Monarchy’s foreign
policy and the political state of Central Croatia.
