protagonists began, depending on the political-historical context: Slovenian
civil society converted into the function of the idea and practice of the national
identity affirmation and the establishment of its statehood and international
recognition as the Republic of Slovenia. Civil society discourse and
the civil protagonists in Croatia started operating in the function of the affirmation
of statehood of the Republic of Croatia, while also differentiating
internally and weakening in the cleavage between conflicting choices, such as
defense against a war of aggression on their territory, the defense of threatened
minority rights in their territory, and creating a distance towards the war of
aggression in which Croatia also took part. In Serbia, where the modified communist
authoritarian régime managed to survive a decade longer, evolving in
the meantime into a nationalistic, militant and aggressive régime, a significant
part of the protagonists belonging to the sphere which used to be ideal-typically
defined as civil society, chose to identify itself (in a self-destructive manner
from the point of civil society) with “higher state interests” and converted
into members of an uncivil nationalist movement. Nevertheless, throughout
the whole of this period a certain part kept its autochthonous civic character
and a minority civic alternative continued to exist in Serbia, which consistently
and persistently fought against the bellicose, ethno-nationalistic, authoritarian,
isolationist state policy, and providing a great contribution to the toppling of
the Milošević régime.
TEORIJA I PRAKSA CIVILNOG DRUŠTVA
U BIVŠOJ JUGOSLAVIJI I NOVONASTALIM DRŽAVAMA
Procesi razvoja teorije i prakse civilnog društva u bivšoj Jugoslaviji bit će
razmatrani kao važna dimenzija pluralizacije i modernizacije države i društva
u SFRJ, koja je u određenoj mjeri i na kontroverzan način doprinijela i raspadu
zajedničke federalne države i transformaciji »real-socijalističkih« jugoslavenskih
republika u nezavisne liberalno-demokratske države u nastajanju.
Usporedivost, sličnost, prepoznatljivost pojava vezanih i za razvoj civilnog
društva i za prepreke na putu njegovog razvoja na prostorima bivše Jugoslavije,
imaju svoje korijene u zajedničkoj povijesti tijekom Prve i Druge
Jugoslavije. Važno zajedničko iskustvo bivše SFRJ tijekom 70-ih i 80-ih godina
prošlog stoljeća, vezano je za modernizacijske procese – pod utjecajem
Zapada – u ekonomiji, kulturi, obitelji, obrazovanju. Odmah treba reći da je
ovo iskustvo modernizacije predstavljalo protutežu tradicionalizmu, patrijarhalizmu,
dominantnoj kolektivističkoj ideologiji najprije komunizma, a zatim
nacionalizma (točnije rečeno, etničkih nacionalizama), koji su obilježili proces
