Hrvatsko društvo danas – kontinuitet i promjena
Croatian Society Today – Continuity and Change

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses some aspects of continuity and change in Croatian society. The first part, entitled “A Synoptic View of the Croatian Society Today”, gives a bird’s-eye-view of the Croatian society – its social structure, dominant values, main repetitive processes: cooperation, competition, conflict, and main processes of social change: modernization and re-traditionalization. It shows the simultaneous effect of forces of continuity and tendencies to change. The second part, entitled “Dominant Values of Croatian Society”, presents dominant values on three levels of centeredness: individual (individualism and utilitarianism), national (the “heroic codex”) and societal (radical egalitarianism, authoritarianism and solidarity). The war has not introduced significant changes into the value system, apart from a more prominent and generalized “heroic codex” and solidarity.
