Christian Democracy in Croatian Party and Political Tradition

Prikazana je geneza ideja kršćanske demokracije u Hrvatskoj, koja se razvijala pod utjecajem tih ideja iz Njemačke, Austrije, Češke, Slovačke, te posebno Slovenije. Važnu ulogu u tome imao je krčki biskup Antun Mahnić, porijeklom Slovenac. Razvoj kršćanske demokracije kod Hrvata autor dijeli na predstranačko razdoblje (do prvog svjetskog rata) i stranačko organiziranje nakon stvaranja jugoslavenske države kroz Hrvatsku pučku stranku. Program te stranke uspoređen je s programom Radićeve Hrvatske seljačke stranke.The text presents the genesis of lhe concept of Christian democracy in Croatia which developed under the influence of the corresponding ideas from Germany, Austria, Czech republic, Slovakia and particularly Slovenia. A major role in that was played by a bishop from Krk, Antun Mahnić, of Slovenian descent. The author divides the development of Christian democracy in Croatia into the pre-party period (up to World War 1) and the party organization following the creation of a Yugoslav state in the form of the Croatian Populist Party. This party\u27s programme is compared to the programme of Radić\u27s Croatian Peasants\u27 Party
