CROATIAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ABROAD: NEW PEOPLE, A NEW GENERATION?

U bilješci se objašnjavaju razlozi za pozivanje hrvatskih politologa u inozemstvu da surađuju u Političkoj misli, a u širem smislu i s politološkim institucijama u Hrvatskoj. Autor (koji je ujedno i inicijator ovog poziva te priređivač bloka od četiri članka u ovom broju) objašnjava kriterije koji su primijenjeni pri uvrštavanju autora među “hrvatske politologe u inozemstvu”. Radi se o mlađim autorima s visokim inozemnim kvalifikacijama koji bi mogli postati nova generacija u hrvatskoj politologiji. To bi proširilo sadašnje granice definicije pojma “hrvatska politologija”, čime bi ona postala inkluzivnija.This is an introduction to a special section of this issue, in which we publish four articles by Croatian scholars of a younger generation who work abroad or have obtained their academic qualifications abroad. By inviting them to participate in the existing community of Croatian political studies scholars, we hope to expand the boundaries of the discipline. In many ways, their articles offer a new perspective in terms of methodology, academic style, conclusions and the choice of topics they focus on. Hence, we should perhaps characterise this effort as being a step towards the emergence of a potentially new generation in the field of Croatian political studies
