Sažetak
The tendency to devalue the Habsburg Monarchy or its demonization has become an important segment of the methodology in Habsburg history, which imposes a need to examine that methodology. Such a discussion is also important to avoid the opposite tendency - that is, the idealization of the Hapsburg Monarchy. The author shows that the demonization stems from four sources. The first source is the ideology of Yugoslavism, which dominated the field of history in the two Yugoslav states (1918-1941, 1945-1991). The second is connected with the development of Serbian politics and Serb nationalism. Serbs demonized the Monarchy in order to facilitate the propagation of Serbian statehood and the expansion of the Serbian state. The third source for the demonization of the Monarchy lies in the development of the Croatian nationalism. Before 1918, Croatian politicians lost confidence in the possibility of an equitable transformation of the Monarchy. The fourth source lies in the vulgarization of the traditional oligarchic society and the idealization of the modem ohlochratic society.
