Political Corruption in Transitional Croatia: The Pecularities of a Model
Political Corruption in Transitional Croatia: The Pecularities of a Model

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the specific characteristics of political corruption in Croatia, from the time on when the country gained its independence in 1991 after the collapse of the Yugoslav Federation and the “Yugoslav self-managing socialist model”. Political corruption in Croatia shares common traits with the phenomenon as it appears in other transitional countries, but it also shows unique characteristics that derive from a privatization model that was implemented uring unsettled political and social conditions, i.e., the war in former Yugoslavia and the appearance of a new political class legitimized by the war and the struggle for independence.
