DUBROVNIK REPUBLICANISM AND ITS IDEOLOGUES

Marinko Šišak ; Croatian Studies, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The Dubrovnik Republic existed as an autonomous political community, in
complex geopolitical conditions, for no less than 450 years (1358-1808).
Throughout this period the political system was neither changed nor was it seriously
endangered from within. This makes the Dubrovnik Republic a unique
phenomenon. The text puts forward a concise analysis of the historical-political
circumstances, of the Republic’s political and legal system, and of its
republican ideology. Furthermore, three important theorists of the Dubrovnik
republican ideology are contextualised, namely Nikola Gučetić, Tomo Basiljević
and Ivo Nadali. A closer look is provided into Gučetić’s theoretical
views on Dubrovnik republicanism.
