Tuđmanism
Tuđmanism or Tudjmanism () is a form of Croatian nationalism which reached its strongest peak during the administration of Croatia's first president, Franjo Tuđman. Tuđman himself defined the ideology as non-communist nationalism with "re-examined Croatian history". According to Croatian historian Ivo Banac, Tudjmanism united both dominant strands of Croatian anti-liberalism, that is, Croatian fascist-sympathisers and Croatian communists of the former Socialist Republic of Croatia. Croatian political scientist Slaven Ravlić defines Tuđmanism to be the name both for an ideology and for a regime. According to Ravlić, the ideology contains elements of deification of the Croatian people started by Ante Starčević, a continuation of the 20th-century conservative tradition that rejects liberal democracy, and a mix of ideas represented by neoconservatism. The resulting regime was authoritarian, it created a form of crony capitalism, and engaged in the creation of an ideological heg ...
