From Paradoxical Modernization to Self-Managed Postmodernization: Discussion about the Development of Croatian Society
Saša POLJANEC-BORIĆ
Sažetak
This paper explains characteristics of the contemporary
Croatian society in the evolutionary perspective. Asserting the
notion of "social change" as being distinct from the notion of
"social development", the processes that have been bringing
about change of social reality in Croatian society, since
1990 are labeled as "self-managed" postmodernization.
Diachronic perspective suggests that the process of "self-
-managed" postmodernization is the consequence of
changes produced in Croatian society during the 1945-1990
period. These changes, in turn, are labeled as paradoxical
modernization (Rogi}, 2000) as they have been centered on
a totalitarian value core. At the same time, self-managed
postmodernization is strengthened by the reality of
postponed accession. "Self-managed" postmodernization is
considered as suboptimal, from the social development
perspective, for it affirms belated subjective values and is
underpinned by the deficit regulatory capacity of national
institutions. The above deficits induce further drainage of
national sociocultural capital thus diminishing the ability of
individuals to act freely.
