The initial enthusiasm for the unification was replaced by the dissatisfaction of Croats, whose interests were then satisfied within the autonomous Banate of Croatia formed in 1939. After the break-up of the Yugoslav kingdom, the short-lasting puppet state Independent State of Croatia was established in 1941, while the foundations of the Yugoslav communist federation with federal Croatia were laid down in 1943 and transformed into constitutional form in 1946 and 1947. For a long time, the federal centre dominated the formally sovereign republics, but the wide decentralisation in 1974 enabled Croatia to establish constitutional and legislative framework that later became the basis of its transition to independence. Only a few elements from that period are retained in the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia of 1990, which was set on a completely new basis modelled on Western constitutionality. The core line of Croatian constitutional development is grounded upon its autonomy in the decentralised and multi-cultural frameworks and building-up of independence. KEYWORDS Croatian constitutional development, Croatian constitution, Croatian autonomy, self-determination of peoples, right to secession, dissolution of Yugoslavia.
The Development of European and Regional Integration Theories in Central European Countries

The Yugoslav concept influenced the South Slavic unification in 1918, but experience with the unitary state under Serbian domination led to demands for an autonomous Croatian unit or independent state. The provisory Croatian autonomy of 1939-1941 and excessive fascist state between 1941-1945 were replaced by the autocratic crypto-centralist communist federation. The federation provided for constitutional autonomy of the republics and nations, but, in the end, endangered Croatia's territorial integrity. The establishment of the Croatian state in 1991 was understood not only as a way out of this situation but also as an 'escape from the Balkans' and 're-integration' into Central and Western Europe.

SUMMARY In the political reality of the nineteenth century the efficient guarantee of freedom of ... more SUMMARY In the political reality of the nineteenth century the efficient guarantee of freedom of the press lay in trial by jury, which offered an additional guarantee of judicial independence; trial by jury was always (and sometimes only) connected with criminal offences committed through printed materials. Selection of jurors implied certain social preferences and was rooted in the ideological background. Therefore legislation dealing with press matters and jury trial can be taken as indicative of how liberal and democratic (or not) were political movements and political and judicial systems. Press and jury trial regulation was a particularly delicate issue in Croatia both because of internal politics and because of the special autonomous position of Croatia in the unbalanced union with Hungary. As a result the legislative policy of the Croatian Diet on freedom of the press and jury trial can be taken both as evidence of liberal and democratic attitudes and as a sensitive indicator of the actual and formal influence of the central government on the Croatian Diet. This legislation also reveals the real restrictions on Croatian autonomy and the actual channels of heterogeneous influences on it. Dalibor Čepulo reconstructs and analyses the substance and enactment of the press and jury trial legislation in the Croatian Diet from the first laws that regulated these fields in 1875 until the last amendments of the laws in 1907. The earlier press and jury trial regulation valid in Croatia is also reconstructed, as are the attempts to enact legislation in the Croatian Diet. The author indicates moreover the channels and degree of political influence of the central government in Budapest on the legislative policy of the Croatian Diet, i.e. on autonomous Croatian legislation in the mentioned fields. The central government exercised significant indirect influence on the Croatian press and jury trial legislation, basically using the procedures of sanctioning and ‘pre-sanctioning’ legislation as well as political pressure. Both the Hungarian and Croatian liberals declared their dedication to liberal principles but pursued autocratic and anti-democratic policies. In spite of their different rationales, the common denominator was strict political control of society through which the domination of particular national or social interests could be guaranteed.

U hrvatskoj je historiografiji takvim izazovnim temama posvecen znacajan dio radova objavljenih o Bogisicu dok je zacudo nedovoljno zastupljen interes za Bogisicevo tematiziranje u hrvatskom kontekstu. Međutim, po svojem porijeklu i mentalitetnim odrednicama, izgradnji znanstvene karijere pa i znanstvenoj aktivnosti i komunikaciji Bogisica valja bitno locirati u hrvatski kontekst bez cega je nemoguce dublje razumijevanje njegova djela. Bogisic potjece sa dubrovackog podrucja na kojemu se u njegovo doba odvijao složeni proces uoblicavanja modernog hrvatskog nacionalnog identiteta koji je primarno obilježio mentalitetne odrednice stanovnistva. Znanstvenu karijeru Bogisic je zapoceo graditi nakon sto se u Becu 1863. susreo sa Matijom Mesicem, profesorom zagrebacke Pravoslovne akademije. Ubrzo je postao clan Jugoslavenske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti (JAZU) u Zagrebu s kojom je ostao u trajnom doticaju. U sklopu JAZU objavio je sve svoje ranije radove preko kojih je usao i na europsku pravnoznanstvenu scenu. Raniji radovi objavljeni u Zagrebu su ostali i najznacajniji Bogisicevi radovi uz kasniji rad o „ inokostini“ objavljen u Parizu te Opci imovinski zakonik. Neki Bogisicevi kasniji radovi su pak predstavljali direktni i znacajni doprinos hrvatskoj povijesti i pravnoj povijesti. Bogisicevi radovi su sa velikim uvažavanjem primani u hrvatskoj pravnoj znanosti, ali je zanimljivo i da je jedna od zacijelo tek dvije ozbiljnije kritike nekih Bogisicevih istraživanja također dosla iz Zagreba. Bogisicevo djelovanje u inozemstvu u hrvatskoj je publicistici praceno s vrlo velikom pažnjom te ponosom zbog uspjeha „ nasijenca“ na europskoj sceni. Ipak, sam Bogisic je svoj identitet vezivao uz lokalnu dubrovacku sredinu te siru slavensku i južno-slavensku pripadnost bez užeg nacionalnog opredjeljivanja. U tome se mogu prepoznati složenosti procesa formiranja nacionalnog identiteta toga doba, a možda i vise od toga složenost Bogisiceve licnosti.

Bogisic je u razdoblju pocetaka svoje znanstvene karijere u Becu imao ozbiljnu namjeru preuzeti mjesto predavaca na zagrebackoj Pravoslovnoj akademiji. Oko toga se od 1867. pa do 1881. narocito trudio Franjo Racki koji je dovođenjem Bogisica u Zagreb htio ojacati intelektualno-politicki krug koji se formirao oko JAZU te unaprijediti obrazovne potencijale zagrebacke sredine. Bogisic je pak htio doci u povoljnu sredinu u kojoj bi mu bio omogucen nastavak znanstvenog rada na polju povijesti slavenskih prava. Na Bogisicev nedolazak u to doba utjecala je nepovoljna politicka konstelacija u Hrvatskoj te tadasnja ogranicenost Bogisiceva potencijalnog akademskog položaja. Bogisic je do 1881. iz Zagreba dobio jos nekoliko poziva, sada u znatno povoljnijim okolnostima, ali je Bogisiceva karijerna orijentacija tada bila okrenuta prema drugim sredinama mada je on u odgovorima uvijek ostavljao otvoreno mogucnost dolaska u nekoj drugoj prilici. Od znacaja je bio i Bogisicev trajni i sustavni kontakt sa Konstantinom Vojnovicem, profesorom građanskog prava na Pravnom fakultetu u Zagrebu i dugogodisnjim prijateljem iz Dubrovnika. Znacajni su bili i kontakti sa nekolicinom drugih profesora Pravnog fakulteta okupljenih oko casopisa Mjesecnik Pravnickog drustva u Zagrebu. Intrigantna je bila kritika Bogisiceva rada od strane Jaromira Hanela, profesora opce pravne povijesti i kratka polemika koja se tom prilikom vodila.

The dynamism and variety of the reforms, as many as six reforms of the county system from 1850 to 1886 were undertaken, reflected the turbulent political environment and suggested that the experiments carried out in this field were not accompanied by a clear and elaborated strategic concept. Such dynamism indicates the search for an adequate organisational model in a changing constitutional and political environment. The reforms relied upon a constitutional framework, as well as upon technical aspects, but their primary determinant were the political intentions of the reformers themselves. Despite the various forms of the administrative reorganisations undertaken, and despite their different political motives and the different frameworks in which they took place, their common denominator was a tendency toward centralisation (with the obvious exception of the reform project of 1849 and the reform of 1861). This tendency toward centralisation indicates the growing role of the state and the political elites supporting it in the shaping of modern society in the 19th century. The political elites in power perceived decentralisation in an under-developed land as an obstruction of their intentions, no matter whether they were of nationalistic or pro- Hungarian orientations.
