Summary/Abstract: This paper sociologically analyzes the relationship between the civil and national option in Montenegro. The analysis is based on the methodological principle of totality, and the explanation itself is first of structural, then historical and finally functional character. The aim of the entire work is the explanation of the expansion of nationalism and the marginalization of the civic idea after the fall of real-socialism and equally the construction of a theoretical-empirical model of the analysis of real social relations and forces acting in the direction of the maintenance or regression of both national and civic options in Montenegro. The exposition of the relationship between two alternative models of social integration is also of a comparative-historical character, because it points to the differences and similarities of the status of the national and civic ideas in Montenegro in relation to the former SFRY environment. Finally, the work is valued in favor of the civic idea, but in the analytical sense, everything was done so as not to distort the sociological analysis of the national option.
