"Croatia since Independence: Politics, Society, Foreign Relations" shows the tremendous changes that have taken place in Croatia and within its international position in the periods of its war of independence, the years of Franjo Tudjman's autocratic rule and the following opening towards Europe after 2000. The ongoing social and political 'Europeanization' has turned Croatia into the serious aspirant to EU-membership it is by now, and still existing problems as well as good prospects to this aspiration are transparently analyzed throughout the book.
