Transformation of the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe – an Attempt at Comparing Croatia and Slovenia
Transformation of the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe – an Attempt at Comparing Croatia and Slovenia

Summary/Abstract: For over a dozen years changes have been taking place in Central and Eastern Europe which are explained in the categories of systemic transformation. “Systemic transformation” is the term most widely used to describe the social change that began in that part of Europe after 1989. A term close, albeit narrower, in meaning is the “political transformation” which describes the phase of radical change of social order in the formal and legal aspect. Analysing the transformation of Central and East European countries one should not disregard the Balkan states. Those states have new constitutions, laws concerning political parties and new electoral statutes. They have opened the road to a competitive party system and the political system based on democratic principles.
