Sažetak
The paper utilizes Machiavelli’s insight into the nature of core political goals – winning state power, maintaining state power and achieving political vision – by applying it in the context of Croatian politics from independence to present day. The scope of this research covers five periods: the Tuđman era (1990-2000), the coalition government (2000-2003), Sanader’s two-term government (2003-2009), Kosor’s government (2009-2011) and the present Milanović government (2011-). In each of these cases we ask how the ruling elite got into power, how they maintained or lost power and what political vision they hoped to achieve. The goal of the study is to understand the interplay between ideological, economic, institutional and tactical aspects of political power and its transformation within the Croatian context.
