International Scientific Conference "Central European Identity Of Croatia"

Summary/Abstract: The term "Central Europe" (German: Mitteleuropa) has already been present in European political, cultural and intellectual discourse for over two centuries. It is often linked to German influence, which manifested itself on a cultural, political and economic level. The most important intellectuals relevant to the development of the concept were Friedrich List (1789–1846) and Friedrich Naumann (1789–1846). After the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the idea of Central Europe became the subject of various new interpretations until it faded from the public consciousness after the fall of Nazi Germany and the creation of the Eastern Bloc. However, the concept was revived during the rapid political changes in Europe in the 1990s and linked to the possibility of creating a new Central European identity.
