This article uses national survey data, quantitative party system indicators, as well as manifesto data to assess the proposition whether the Croatian party system is indeed one of the most stable systems among post-communist EU member states. The analysis spans three decades and focuses on changes after EU accession and confirms long-term stability of the Croatian party system. However, after the 2015 election, there was a decline in the popularity of the two major parties – Christian Democrats (hdz) and Social Democrats (sdp), and an emergence of several challenger parties – the center-right populist Bridge, which favors institutional reform and decentralization, the Eurosceptic, populist, and nationalist Homeland Movement, and We Can!, a green-left coalition of academics and environmentalists. In addition, the observed party system change was accompanied by a rise in civic referendum initiatives around bioethical issues such as sex education and same-sex marriage.
本文使用全国调查数据、定量政党制度指标以及宣言数据来评估克罗地亚政党制度是否确实是后共产主义欧盟成员国中最稳定的制度之一这一命题。分析跨越三十年，重点关注加入欧盟后的变化，证实了克罗地亚政党制度的长期稳定性。然而，在 2015 年大选之后，基督教民主党（hdz）和社会民主党（sdp）这两大政党的声望有所下降，同时出现了几个挑战者政党--主张机构改革和权力下放的中右翼民粹主义政党 Bridge，持欧洲怀疑论、民粹主义和民族主义立场的家园运动（Homeland Movement），以及由学者和环保主义者组成的绿左联盟 We Can！。此外，在观察到政党制度变化的同时，围绕性教育和同性婚姻等生物伦理问题的公民投票倡议也在增加。

This article fills the gap on the research of memory of the Croatian War of Independence (1991–1995) in film and theatre and demonstrates that so far the arts have been the main channel of the emancipatory narrative, challenging the mainstream collective memory of a victim and victorious nation and serving as a space of fostering debate on the country’s recent past. The article focuses on the cultural representation of the war in Croatia in the last decade, since Croatian accession to the EU, while paying special attention to the reactions of the wider audience to such works, especially the key mnemonic actors, such as the war veterans and the nationalist politicians. The results show that even though theatre and film offer counter-narratives on the Homeland War and spur and spark the debate, it is yet to be seen if they can lead to a wider discussion in the society.

This article offers an overview of the most important developments in the Bulgarian media sphere after the changes of 1989. It fills a conceptual gap by analyzing the place of Bulgarian media in the context of the relationship between democracy and capitalism. The transition from socialist to private and market-oriented media, Bulgaria’s opening up to foreign media companies, the expansion of media into the internet environment, and the role of media regulation are identified as the key – and ambivalent – factors of change in the media sphere. The article argues that the tension between media democracy and media capitalism unfolded in the form of a permanent crisis in the media field. The analysis leads to the conclusion that indeterminacy and hybridity are key characteristics of the Bulgarian media system.

The Introduction to this volume presents an approach rarely used in the analysis of media in Southeastern Europe. Through the interpretive framework of the theme of capitalism, it examines the advantages of applying this research paradigm to the region. After 1989, capitalism succeeded socialism in the countries in the region. To understand what happened under the new common denominator imposed by the market, this Introduction first looks at the legacy of socialism in the media sphere. Following this line of analysis, the text identifies some important typologies in the media systems of the region focusing specifically on Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and Croatia. The homogenizing effects imposed by capitalist-oriented globalization is discussed along with an analysis that traces the crises emerging in journalism. This profession is often practised in the zone of tensions between democracy and capitalism and the Introduction’s focus on these crises exposes the threats to media pluralism.
