Sažetak
We aim to present a model to analyse the class structure of hybrid post-socialist societies in South-East Europe (SEE) and specific class mobility, using the cases of Serbia and Croatia. The hybridity of these societies results from their bearing clear marks of their socialist past and, on the other hand, from having been exposed to an intensive neoliberal transformation over the last thirty years. In such hybrid societies, social inequalities are generated by several mechanisms of similar strength: (1)exploitative market mechanisms (based on economic capital), and (2) different types of social closure mechanisms (based on political and social capital). Social agents use these mechanisms not only in the economic, but also in all other fields. We argue that their influences cannot be analytically isolated or reduced to a common foundation and that occupational class analysis in these societies can have only limited explanatory power. This makes the creation of simple analytical class schemes impossible. However, we attempt to show that it is possible to analyse both the workings and the outcomes of inequality-generating mechanisms in SEE societies.
