Sažetak
The period from 1848 to 1918 in Croatia and Slavonia was a time which saw the establishment of modern institutions and the formation of modern Croatian national identity. While this process was partly based on traditional foundations, it was influenced by a complex set of factors and it developed in non-linear fashion. The nation-building process partly intertwined with the establishment of modern institutions and an important part of this process was administrative reform. It was particularly the reforms of the county system that were important due to the role of counties in the Croatian political tradition. As many as six reforms were undertaken from 1850 to 1886, which swung from traditional autonomy and decentralisation to subordination and centralisation. However, despite the range of different reforms and their political contexts, the common denominator of these reforms was nonetheless a tendency toward centralism.
