摘要本文探讨了经济问题作为克罗地亚2007年议会选举中投票行为的决定因素的重要性。它试图确定在克罗地亚过渡时期的赢家和输家之间是否存在选举分歧，以及选民对经济问题的立场是否主要取决于他们的政治派别，而不是他们在社会结构中的地位。根据2007年选举的调查数据，有人认为，经济问题，特别是过渡时期赢家和输家之间的划分，在决定对两个主要政党的支持方面并不起重要作用。本文还发现，选民对经济问题的意见，在最近的选举中显着的选民对经济状况的评价大多是由他们的隶属于一个特定的政党结构。最后，它的结论是，经济问题是不太相关的结构在克罗地亚的投票行为比相关的文化和历史，而且，除非发生重大调整，选民对经济问题的想法可能会在很大程度上取决于他们支持的政党说。
Summary The article examines the importance of economic issues as determinants of voting behavior in Croatia in the 2007 parliamentary elections. It seeks to establish whether there is an electoral division between winners and losers of transition in Croatia and whether the voters’ positions on economic issues are mainly shaped by their political affiliation, rather than their position in the social structure. Drawing upon survey data from the 2007 elections, it is argued here that economic issues, notably the division between transitional winners and losers, do not play an important role in determining support for the two main political parties. The article also finds that the voters’ opinion on economic issues salient in recent elections and the voters’ evaluation of economic conditions are mostly structured by their affiliation to a particular political party. Finally, it concludes that economic issues are less relevant in structuring the voting behavior in Croatia than the ones related to culture and history, and that, unless a major realignment takes place, what voter’s think about economic issues could be largely conditioned by what parties they support say.
