Abstract

The author analyses the long-term, medium-term and short-term prospects of liberalism in Croatia. The long-term prospects are determined by the global future of liberalism: however, the agreement among liberal theoreticians as to what that future might look like has not been reached yet. it might be said that the clout of liberals in relation to the other two major political groups - conservatives and social democrats - depens on the type of mixture of the value of freedom, equality and solidarity in Croatian political culture. The medium-term prospects are determined on the basis of the analysis of the social structure Croatian society which displays a powerlessness of educated and economically independent social strata as the traditional adresses of liberal politics. The author thinks that major short-term changes in the Croatian political scenery are unrealistic.
