Abstract

Like most European historiographies, modern Croatian historiography was founded in the second half of the nineteenth century. It coincided with the appearance and spread of nationalism – what is more, it was one of its essential components. Nonetheless, the number of historians in Croatia remained small for a long period of time (In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, approximately twenty historians worked in universities, museums, and archives), and historiographic production was modest and methodologically traditional. The number of historians and institutions dedicated to historical writing increased significantly in the decades following the Second World War, reflecting the importance placed on history by the communist authorities. Approximately one hundred historians were employed in Croatia at the time of its independence in the early 1990s, principally at the country's two universities and a number of historical institutes. Today, Croatia – a country with a population of less than four million – offers up to eight undergraduate and graduate history programs, as well as several doctoral programs. More than 300 professional historians work in faculties, institutes and other institutions such as archives, museums or non-governmental organisations.

在政治约束与专业历史写作之间:克罗地亚史学三十年(1990-2021)
像大多数欧洲史学一样,现代克罗地亚史学建立于19世纪下半叶。它与民族主义的出现和传播不约而同——更重要的是,它是民族主义的重要组成部分之一。尽管如此,克罗地亚历史学家的数量在很长一段时间内仍然很少(在第二次世界大战刚结束时,大约有20名历史学家在大学、博物馆和档案馆工作),历史编纂工作规模不大,方法上也很传统。在第二次世界大战后的几十年里,致力于历史写作的历史学家和机构的数量显著增加,这反映了共产党当局对历史的重视。克罗地亚在1990年代初独立时雇用了大约100名历史学家,主要是在该国的两所大学和一些历史研究所。今天,克罗地亚——一个人口不到400万的国家——提供多达8个本科和研究生历史课程,以及几个博士课程。300多名专业历史学家在学院、研究所和其他机构(如档案馆、博物馆或非政府组织)工作。

期刊介绍: Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
