Nation-Building in Croatia and the Treatment of Minorities: Rights and Wrongs

The end of the Cold War unleashed diff erent eff ects of nationalism in Yugoslavia of that time. It was directly initiated by decades of the corrupted communist regime and the chaos of the failed economy of that country. Therefore, it is from a historical distance not surprising to understand how easily politicians (and former political dissidents who regained power) and other actors who contributed to ethno-mobilisation (such as army leaders, major religious fi gures, prominent intellectuals) manipulated the mass-media in order to stir up nationalism, eventually contributing to the start of inter-ethnic conflicts in the country.
