Preface
The Yugoslavia that I knew when I began research for this book no longer exists. Instead there are new states on its soil: Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, and, strangely, Yugoslavia, which doubles as one of two new Serbian states (with the Republika Srpska, in the former Yugoslav republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina). Any study of the history of the interaction of Serbs and Croats must inevitably contribute to our understanding of the issues that underlie the wars that ended the second Yugoslavia. I hope that my book does so. It reflects the belief that political behavior that presumes the supremacy of the collective nation over the individual is bound to fail in lands so ethnically intermixed as those of the former Yugoslavia, or more broadly the Balkan peninsula. The study before you examines a small corner of that canvas: Serbian political behavior in Croatia before the First World War. In its broadest thematic context, this book concerns the interrelationship of nationhood and sovereignty. It is about political behavior in a culturally mixed region under the stress of the challenges of political modernity: the transformation of political actors from subjects to citizens, and the nature of that transformation.
The period from 1903 to 1914 was one of opportunity for Serbs and Croats in the Habsburg monarchy, a period when they nearly conquered their collective mutual suspicions, which they inherited from their forebears. Their failure to do so in this crucial period of opportunity contributed mightily to their inability to establish a civic/democratic tradition in interwar Yugoslavia. This study traces the ideologies and interaction of the two leading Serbian political parties in Croatia (the Serbian Independent party and the Serbian Radical party) as well as their relationship with the major actors in Croatian politics before the First World War. Its focus is on the Serbian parties and their constituency, the Serbian community of Croatia. The study does not
