Dubrovnik Republicanism and its Ideologues
Dubrovnik Republicanism and its Ideologues

Summary/Abstract: The Dubrovnik Republic existed as an autonomous political community, in complex geopolitical conditions, for no less than 450 years (1358-1808). Throughout this period the political system was neither changed nor was it seriously endangered from within. This makes the Dubrovnik Republic a unique phenomenon. The text puts forward a concise analysis of the historical-political circumstances, of the Republic’s political and legal system, and of its republican ideology. Furthermore, three important theorists of the Dubrovnik republican ideology are contextualised, namely Nikola Gučetić, Tomo Basiljević and Ivo Nadali. A closer look is provided into Gučetić’s theoretical views on Dubrovnik republicanism.
