NEW TIMES?: TOWARDS A POLITICAL ECONOMY OF 'CIVIL SOCIETY' IN CONTEMPORARY CROATIA

Paul Stubbs ; Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield, U.K.

Abstract

This article critiques orthodox approaches to civil society in Croatia
adopting a political economy approach which is concerned with
struggles over possession of different 'capitals'. The historical
continuities and ruptures in the relationship between 'civil society'
and 'nationalism', in the context of 'formal politics' and 'everyday
life' are addressed. The article suggests that the impact of
relationships between local, national and global discourses has been
problematic and remains complex and contested.
