Podložniška politična kultura v postkomunističnih družbah: primerjalna študija postjugoslovanskih študentov
Subject political culture in post-communist societies: A comparative study of post-Yugoslav students

Summary/Abstract: The present study examined several measures of political culture among 2,178 social science students (M age = 19.8 years, SD = 1.89) in eight post-Yugoslav entities. The aggregate-level results indicate that socio-economically less developed environments had higher average levels of subject political culture, which is characterised by authoritarianism, general traditionalism, traditional gender role attitudes, state paternalism and general distrust. The only exception from this tendency was the measure of economic egalitarianism, where between-country differences were not significant. The authors demonstrate that, nearly two decades after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, some of the same value differences are still found in its successor territories. They conclude that the process of democratic consolidation is far from over in post-Yugoslav entities and that Slovenia comes closest to achieving that goal in the political-cultural context.
