PREDVIĐANJE RATA? - ETNOSOCIOLOGIJA DINKA TOMAŠIĆA
PREDICTING THE WAR? - THE ETHNOSOCIOLOGY OF DINKO TOMAŠIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the thought about a fundamental distinction between Croats and Serbs. The most elaborated variant presenting this "distinction" is the ethnosociology of Dinko A. Tomašić. Founded upon the socializational differences between the sedentary and nomadic cultures, the "collective and tribal" typology of Tomašić tries to explain the instability of the two Yugoslav communities. Moreover, Tomašić also indicates the conditions under which a bloody disintegration of the socialist community is expected to occur. In the attempt to show that Tomašić's prediction represents a realistic conclusion resulting from irreal premises, an alternative approach is presented in the papers concluding passage. And in the end, the cause for the popularity of the "distinction" thesis is described.
