Sažetak

Based on the interpretative approach to political culture, this study examine s‎how democratic principles and practices are embedded in institutions, especially ‎in those not explicitly defined as parts of the political process, as the se‎can more easily hide democratic flaws not easily measured by formal democratization ‎measures. This research problem is approached by an analysis of ‎the institutional framework of the history education in Croatia in the 1990s and‎2000s and an analysis of how the controversial socialist Yugoslavia, as a critical ‎case, was presented in history textbooks. This analysis includes 34 textbooks of‎20th-century history that were published between 1991 and 2007 for the use of‎ elementary schools, vocational high schools, and grammar schools. The findings ‎are considered as indicators of the development of democratic political ‎culture. The conclusions suggest that, despite the progress in formal democratization‎ measures in the 2000s, based on this critical case, Croatia failed the test‎ of institutionally-embedded democratic assumptions and norms.‎
