The ideology of the Autonomist movement in Dalmatia

Abstract

The main theme of this article is the ideological analysis of the autonomist movement in Dalmatia during the 19th century. The movement itself represented a counterbalance to the aspirations of Croatian politicians in an attempt to unify Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia into a modern state. The autonomists bring forth several ideological and nationalist conceptions stretching from Slav-Dalmatic to irredentism.
