Zusammenfassung:A discussion of the differences between totalitarian & liberal nationalism, examining (1) theoretical & historical preconditions for nationalism in Western & Eastern Europe; & (2) prospects for liberal nationalism in Croatia after the 1991-1994 war for independence. Xenophobic cultural nationalism implies state & religious uniformity & autarkic society in general, resulting in fascism & racism. Liberal nationalism is based on free individual will & rational choice. Differences in these two types of nationalism are examined historically, 18th-20th centuries, & then in terms of the expansionist ethnonational homogenization in Serbia of the late 1980s, & the Croatian nationalism provoked by the war & nation-state consolidation, also resulting in the general national homogenization. In Serbian political tradition, aggressive nationalism is opposed by political liberalism, not by liberal nationalism. In Croatia, since 1990, there have been swings between liberal & xenophobic nationalism with the choice complicated by Serbian propaganda that insists on continuity between the past & present Croatian nationalism.
