Conceptualizing Post-Socialist Change In Croatian Countryside And Its Role In Disscusing Possible Rural Futures

A quarter of a century ago, Croatia entered the period that profoundly changed political, socio economic, cultural and environmental dimensions of its space and society. However, unlike comprehensive concepts of urban change (e.g. post-socialist cities), rural areas in Croatia still lack the interpretative interdisciplinary concept which would enable: firstly, placing Croatian rural areas in the framework of European post-socialist countryside and secondly, recognizing specificities resulting from historical development and severity of consequences of Homeland war. The aim of this paper is therefore to assist forming the conceptual framework intended to reflect the interplay between global context and driving forces on the one side, and national, regional and local factors on the other, in shaping the current state of Croatian rural areas.
