Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the new theoretical paradigms attempting to answer the following question: how does the fall of communism affect the future of the world? lt is concluded in the paper that neither approach in itself contains the key to the solution of the riddie of world history, but neither of the approaches could be said to be mistaken or completely wrong. These paradigms indicate, in a way, the possible directions of Croatia's strategic development: will it remain a part of the post-communist turbu lent Balkans and continue to be regarded by authors such as Kaplan and Fukuyama as part of the so-called Third World, or will it choose economic, industrial and political modernization and thus leave the uncertain and chaotic post-communist reality to join the prosperous "caravan" nearing the liberal "end of history"?
