Summary: At a time when the Eastern European Socialist system has
beendefinitely burried, the former socialist countries are trying tofind
ways that will lead them to a new understanding of peace andsecurity. The
internal manifestations of instability which areincreasingly felt-the fall
of the living standard, the fall ofproduction, the increase of
unemployment-require a new politicalapproach and a similar ally or
alliances. In this new situationwhen the new democracies are trying to find
ways in which tosatisfy internal requests more quickly, foreign policy
facts playan ever more prominent role. Special stress is put on how
torestructure relationships with the Soviest Union. A second sphereof
necessary changes pertains to questions concerning newrelationships between
former members of the Siocialist alliance.Instead of the dogmatized,
ideologically "founded" friendship,conditions are laid for the
establishment of normal neigbourlyand friendly relations. The creation of
mechanisms and thedevelopment of various forms of subregional cooperation
is seenin the countries of Eastern Europe as a means towards theireventual
joining the European Community in all its activities andinstitutions.
Almost al the countries of the new democracy arestating this to be their
final goal and claim to be ready toaccept all the criteria stipulated by
the EEC.
Keywords: peace, security, internal instability, alliances, new democracies, foreign policy facts, chages, neighbourly and friendly relations, subregional cooperation, joining the European Community.

Summary: In his examination of the basic coordinates of Croatian
foreignpolicy the author points to the need that good neighbourlyrelations
should be developed-through the mechanism of theConference on Security and
Cooperation in Europe- with thecountries which were, until recently, parts
of the formerYugoslavia as well as with those which have been
independentsince long ago. He stresses the need to develop
relationshipswith the great powers, especially with the USA, and to
developbilateral relationships nonaligned countries. One of the aims isto
tend towards Europe through economic and political links andthrough
coopertion in matters concerning security.The subregionalframeworks of
international cooperation in which Croatiaparticipates appear to be
insufficient for the solving ofpolitical and security questions. Special
consideration ought tobe devoted to NATO as a mechanism that could protect
the securityof Croatia. As a new state Croatia must demonstrate that both
inits internal development and in its international activities itis ready
to fulfil the obligations imposed by its memebership inthe UN.

Volume: 28
Year: 1991
Pages: from 33 to 49
Language: hrvatski
Summary: In his analysis of the aims of the war against Croatia the
authorrejects those definitions of the conflict that are based
onhistorical, ethnical, religious, or ideological motives. Thesemotives are
only of marginal significance and are used in orderto hide Serbia's
conquest aims.The disintegration of federalcommunist systems is to a lesser
extent brought about by nationalmovements and much more through
democratization, the market, anddecentralization. For a long time the
political strategy of theWest drew its moves without understanding the
fundamentalprocesses at work in the countries of Eastern Europe and
oftenacted without considering historical changes. From thisperspective the
author also analyzes the disintegration ofYugoslavia and the genesis of
Serbia's political purposes and waraims in the war against Croatia.
Keywords: the aims of the war against Croatia, Serbia's conquest aims, democratization, the market, decentralization, the disintegration of Yugoslavia
Title: The End of the Soviest Union-The Perestroyka without
Gorbachov
Journal: Politička misao
Number: 3
ISSN: 0032-3241
Volume: 29
Year: 1992
Pages: from 48 to 66
Language: hrvatski
Summary: Although Gorbachov's rule was relatively short, a little
lessthan seven years, it has left traces that cannot be erased. Fromits
very beginning it was clear that after Gorbachov neither theSoviet Union
nor the world would be the same as before. Gorbachovneither the Soviet
Union nor the world would be the same asbefore. Gorbachov fulfilled his
role first by starting theprocess of changes and as he was unable to
accomplish the reformsthat he had started or did not have the opportunity
to do so, hewas compelled to leave his place to others. It could not be
saidthat the policy of Gorbachov's reforms was unlinear,uncompromising, and
faultless. It was the result of arelationship between existing forces, of
the conflict between theadvocates and the opponents of the perestroyka. The
Moscow Coupin the summer of 1991 turned that permanent conflict into an
openconfrontation as those who took part in the Putsch clarifiedthrough
their attack the positions of both the conservatives andthe radical
reforms. The failed Coup radicalized all theprocesses of transformation in
Soviet society and removed thebarriers which prevented the changes to break
through the limitsof the aystem. Withun this framework the two most
importantconsequences are certainly the dissolving of the Communist partyof
the Soviet Union and the disintegration of the Soviet Unionitself.
Keywords: changes, reforms, Putsch, conservatives, radical reformes, dissolving of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, disintegration of the Soviet Union itself.
Title: The Disintegration of Communist Federations
Journal: Politička misao
Number: 1
Volume: 30
Year: 1993
Pages: from 119 to 132
Language: hrvatski
Summary: The disintegration of Communist societies is a continuation
ofthe processes that where interrupted when the Communist partiescame to
power with their programs of radical changes aimed aterasing all the social
relationships that had been developedwithin a civil society. The author
does not contest the thesisthat the development of bourgeois countries is a
historical rulebut he stresses that the problems of post- Communism cannoty
besolved by simply imitating everything that there is in the West.The
countries of the European East cannot stride over the phasesthat they did
not pass through earlier; it is evident that theywill have to undergo the
same historical processes in theirspecific manner. The phase in which
national states are formedcannot be avoided and it does carry certain
risks. Potentialconflict situations cannot be evaded by stopping the
processesput into motion by the fall of Communism because this wouldproduce
an opposite effect. The author contests the opinion ofthe advocates of
large integrative wholes who assert that theCommunist federations have
disintegrated as a consequence of theactivities of the nationalists and the
national movements. Heshows that disintegration represented an inseparable
part of thedissolutio of the old political order.
Keywords: disintegration of Communist societies, civil society, bourgeois countries, post-Communism, disintegration, the dissolution of the old political order.
Title: War and Peace in Croatia

Pages: from 12 to 26
Language: slovenski
Summary: The author analyses interests which led to the war in
Croatia andthe forces, which lead the war, i.e. teritorial connquests
inCroatia. He criticizes the thesis of ethnical war, of civil warand of
nationalist and national movements which supposedlydestroyed Yugoslavia.
Such federations are no longer possible inpostcommunist societies. The
author points to the economic basisof the current Serbian policy, of the
functioning of theconservative bloc of the undeveloped uo till today, which
has launched a low intensity war that it cannot win, as the politicalgoals
(war against the Croatian and other nations) are falselyperceived. He
evaluates the solutions or standardized decisionsregarding the
implementation of peace in Croatia in a balancedway: the uncahngeability of
borders by force, institutionalprotection of national minorities,the
assertion of civil andhuman rights etc. and arbitartion as a means of
seeking a way outof the conflict of interest.
