Controlling the party or controlling the media? : how intra-party dynamics moderated, and reinforced, particularism in Croatia, 2000-2014Maršić, Tomislav January 2016 (has links)
This thesis explores the shape, the dynamics, and the main reasons for media capture and collusion in Croatia since the second transition in 2000. Using principal-agent theory to refer to the basic relation-ship between politicians, media and citizens, I intend to explain why politicians make use of particularism - behaviour aiming at the limitation of horizontal accountability - to force the media into cooperation with politicians (media capture) or to engage in an illicit, mutually agreed deal (collusion). Located in the literatures on democratization, party research and media studies, I aim to connect these fields in arguing that intra-party dynamics such as party leaders' rootedness, contestation and the institutionalization of rules play an important role in incentivizing executive politicians to capture or collude with media outlets. The empirical outcome of the study showing drastic failures of horizontal accountability contradicts dominant narratives of Croatia's high level of democratic consolidation between 2000 and 2014 and therefore challenges the suitability of indicators primarily designed to capture the institutionalization of institutions rather than the institutionalization of particularism. Croatia is a particularly appropriate case to study in this context since none of the traditional incentives such as Europeanization, inter-party competition, a strong civil society or economic modernization can fully explain shifts in the way politicians limit or reinforce horizontal accountability of the media. In order to address this puzzle I adopt a two-pronged research strategy based on both qualitative and quantitative elements in order to reliably and validly measure the shape and development of media capture and collusion.

East of Eden : a poststructuralist analysis of Croatia's identity in the context of EU accessionZambelli, Natasa January 2012 (has links)
Since the early 1990s Croatia has defined membership of the European Union as one of its primary goals. However, the immediate post-war period and the difficult transition to democracy left Croatia in relative isolation from Western European states and its aim of joining the European Union seemed unattainable and distant. Croatia’s involvement in the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and President Tuđman’s politics proved to be great obstacles to its further democratisation and development. The parliamentary and presidential elections in the year 2000 and the defeat of Tuđman’s party offered a unique opportunity to change the direction of Croatian politics and to move closer to achieving the goal of EU membership. This thesis addresses changes in Croatia’s identity and it does so through the analysis of discourses surrounding Croatia’s cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and its changing attitudes towards the protection of minority rights during the year 2000. Both cases fall under the Copenhagen Criteria of Accession whose implementation was crucial for Croatia’s moving closer towards EU membership. They are also closely linked to Croatia’s identity and are rooted in the civilisational discourse that juxtaposes ‘the West’/ EU and ‘the East’/ the Balkans as both geographical and civilisational spaces. The two case studies are both concerned with questions of sovereignty, justice, victims of the Homeland War and the role of Serbia in Croatia’s recent past and in its future. Serbia features as Croatia’s radical other and is discursively constructed as an embodiment of the Balkans civilisation. The study of cooperation with the ICTY and of discourses surrounding minority protection analyses the links between different civilisational spaces that Croatia navigates and their implications to the reconstruction of discourses central to Croatian identity. Despite different subject material both case studies reveal the centrality of the Serbian other for the Croatian identity and the need to redefine that relationship without undermining Croatia’s identity as a Western country and attempts to differentiate itself from the Balkans.

Fear of Croatian Disease. Is there a danger of a Dutch Disease Effect with respect to a boom in the tourism sector in Croatia in the long run - 'The Croatian Disease'?Holzner, Mario 10 1900 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this research is to analyze empirically the danger of a Dutch Disease Effect with respect to a boom in the tourism sector in Croatia in the long run. Due to the brief time series of data available for Croatia, we employ for our econometric work data on more than 100 countries of the world over the period 1970-2000. In a first step the general, long-run relationship between tourism, growth, the real exchange rate, taxation and the manufacturing sector is looked at in a cross country setting. A panel data framework gives the possibility to counter check the acquired results. This second approach also allows to control for reverse causality, nonlinearity and interactive effects, applying a more complex methodology. It is found that, at least in the long run, there is no danger of a Dutch Disease Effect with respect to a boom in the tourism sector - and thus, no fear of a 'Croatian Disease'! Countries with higher income from tourism tend not only to have higher economic growth rates but also higher levels of investment and secondary school enrolment. Countries dependent on tourism prove to be rather outward oriented, having low levels of real exchange rate distortion and its variability. Finally, tourism does not seem to lead to a contraction of the manufacturing sector. (author's abstract)
