Strukturiranje političkih problema i modernizacija društva
Structuring of Political Problems and Modernisation of Society

Summary/Abstract: Analysis of citizens' assessment of the prominence of a number of political problems given in opinion polls in 1998 and 2003 indicate that it has remained unchanged, i.e. that citizens do not perceive that the number of problems in society is decreasing. The greatest degree of criticism towards problems is expressed by citizens who do not know who to vote for, while supporters of political parties are critical at a time when their party is in opposition, and unwilling to criticise when they are in power. Correlative analysis by means of factor analysis indicates an ever greater fragmentation in assessments pointing at a greater dispersion in the attribution of the causes of political problems. The changes perceived towards greater dispersion in determining the causes of problems can be linked with the theory of modernisation and an ever stronger fragmentation of social roles. Expectations that regions affected by war would show a lower degree of fragmentation were confirmed. Observed was also the trend of quicker modernisation of regions and political groups falling behind others with regard to the segmentation of political attitudes.
