Sažetak
Significant transformations to the economy, society, and culture of the Adriatic islands in Croatia over the past decades include not only transformations from agriculture and fishing to the contemporary dominant service economy but also sociopolitical changes due to the transition from socialism to neoliberal capitalism. Within this historical context of globalisation, this research focuses on the growth of tourism, presently the main transformative force of the Eastern Adriatic, and similarities and differences in the development paths and rapidly changing realities of the individual islands. Intensive anthropological fieldwork spanning the last 20 years on all major Adriatic Islands produced a rich portrayal of the communities, examining the changes experienced in areas including their identities, local cultures, values, and attitudes. Drawing on this empirical data, the paper emphasises both the indigenous experience, particularly the enduring strength of social institutions such as the family and the community in transformative processes, and the impacts of cultural exchange with tourists and a growing number of new islanders, owners of summer homes on the islands
