Ethnic tensions and a constitutional crisis brought about the disintegration of Yugoslavia, which resulted in Croatia loosening ties with the Federation and subsequently declaring its independence. The quest for Croatian independence led to the Homeland War which took place between 1991–1995. The post-conflict transformation of the country primarily concentrated on the political and economic aspects of reconstruction, however the importance of developing a national strategy to deal with cultural memory, as part of the rebuilding process, has largely been neglected. Through a series of case studies, this paper will reveal how a significant proportion of Croatia’s cultural memory is dealt with through various forms of community engagement, centering around local civic organisations that “sprung up” as a consequence of the Homeland War. These communities are staging memorials, not just as places and occasions to gather around grief, but as means of highlighting the self-expression of loss in a public setting. Technological advancements, especially open-source access to new media, has encouraged more personal and community initiated and driven projects. Centered around participatory design, these projects demonstrate a more inclusive approach that enables local communities to record, collect and communicate their cultural memory, rather than rely on ‘approved’ state institutions. This article looks at how participatory design can aid in bridging and preservation of cultural memory of the Homeland War through the development of a participatory design framework which could be used as a central reference point to facilitate participatory projects between cultural institutions and their patrons, thus creating a more empowering approach to post-memory.

The aim of this article is to inquire into global imaginings of the possibilities for the future of the Mediterranean region, i.e. its current and future reconceptualization through political economy of connectivity through the Maritime Silk Road (MRS) as part of the OBOR.1 OBOR promises to mediate exchange over distance and bring different people and objects into interaction through its infrastructure. The question is whether OBOR will replace the present politics of domination by the diplomacy of communication, interaction, negotiation, and conversation, where dialogue of civilizations is based on tolerance, recognition, respect, mutual reference, and mutual learning. The article argues that the reconceptualization of the Mediterranean from its current, stereotyped image of the ancient past towards a modern paradigm largely depends on contrasted geopolitical dynanmics of this region.
本文的目的是探究全球对地中海地区未来可能性的想象，即通过海上丝绸之路 （MRS）的互联互通政治经济学对地中海地区当前和未来的重新认识，海上丝绸之路是 OBOR 的一部分。问题是，OBOR 是否会以沟通、互动、谈判和对话的外交方式取代当前的统治政治，而文明对话的基础则是宽容、承认、尊重、相互参照和相互学习。文章认为，地中海的重新概念化在很大程度上取决于该地区地缘政治动态的对比。

Ovaj rad pruža pregled komunikacijskih aktivnosti hrvatskih muzeja tijekom pandemije COVID-19 i njihovu prilagodbu izazovima koje su nepredvidive okolnosti donijele u suvremeno društvo. Uočavaju se značajne promjene u kontekstu komunikacije, što se odrazilo na cjelokupan muzejski sektor. Koristi se analiza sadržaja kao glavna istraživačka metoda kako bi se odgovorilo na postavljena istraživačka pitanja o tome u kojoj mjeri mrežne stranice, kao temeljni komunikacijski kanali i alati u digitalnom okruženju, ispunjavaju određene parametre za ostvarivanje dvosmjerne komunikacije s ciljnim javnostima. Istraživanje je također obuhvatilo integraciju Web 2.0 alata i učestalost korištenja društvenim mrežama od strane hrvatskih muzeja. Analitička matrica izrađena je na temelju postavljenih dijaloških principa (Kent i Taylor 1998), prilagođenih muzejima referenciranjem drugih znanstvenih radova, provedenih istraživanja i izvještaja o utjecaju COVID-19 pandemije na muzeje, kao i preporuka čelnih organizacija o potrebama izmjene komunikacijskih aktivnosti, posebno u smjeru intenziviranja online komunikacije.

The paper uses the constructivist theory of international relations in order to explain the main aspects of the development of the European Union, i.e. the process of European integration. Also, with the help of European integration, an attempt is made to clarify the relevance and importance of using constructivism as a theoretical and conceptual framework for understanding political and political-science concepts, which is still, with a few exceptions, a rarity in Croatian political science. By using concepts and notions that emerged halfway between sociology and political science, this paper points to the importance of studying the concepts of identity, language, socialization and norms, in order to fully understand the development of a complex political system as is the European Union. At the very end, general conclusions are offered about the importance of using different schools of thought, including constructivism, if we want to fully understand the development of a political phenomenon, but it also points out certain weaknesses and criticisms, which should be taken into account when using constructivism as a prism that seeks to describe and clarify a specific political phenomenon.

For years, the countries of Southern Europe have struggled with the consequences of the sovereign debt crisis. Under external pressure they enacted harsh austerity measures which resulted in shaken trust in the European Union, new protest movements and the entrance of new political parties in legislatures and governments. A decade later, this paper poses the question whether the storm of the European sovereign debt crisis has left an impact on Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. The article focuses on changes on the macro-level and analyzes party system changes with the help of data from the CMP/MARPOR dataset. The paper deals with changes in the attitude towards the European Union, the position on the left-right scale (RILE), as well as economic and welfare policy. The analysis has shown a weak decrease in positive attitudes towards the EU in Italy, a moderate leftward shift of the Spanish party system, as well as a moderate decrease in positive attitudes towards the role of the state in the economy in the Greek case. In conclusion, one can say that ten years after the European sovereign debt crisis it is not possible to speak of drastic party system change in Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, and that external pressure has not succeeded in having an impact on the fact that Southern European party systems are, in general, titled towards the left.
