Chapter Chapter 7 in Stateness and Democratic Consolidation, 2022, pp 127-157 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract After analyzing in the previous chapter the ex-Yugoslav cases that I regard as less successful in their efforts to establish a liberal democratic system, I now turn to two remaining former Yugoslav republics that are perceived as more successful in this endeavor: Croatia and Slovenia. For readability and conceptual clarity, I will analyze them separately. Albeit both being consolidated democracies, their democratic trajectories differed significantly. Explanations for this are mainly to be found in the fact that Slovenia started its democratic transition with a resolved stateness problem, whereas Croatia completed its nation-state building process only eight years after embarking on the democratization path. This difference had a profound influence on the democratization process.
