Knjiga se bavi rodnim stereotipima i politikom Kraljevine Jugoslavije. Pri tome se polazi od pretpostavke da (rodni) stereotipi nisu puki kulturni balast društva, već da imaju značajnu ulogu u uspostavi uspješne komunikacije, izgradnji identiteta, ali i sustava vrijednosti društva. Nadalje, stereotipi nose prizvuk tradicionalnosti, bezvremenosti i prirodne uvjetovanosti te stoga imaju stabilizacijsku ulogu u vrijeme društvenih lomova (promjena političkih sustava, velikih ekonomskih kriza itd.). S druge strane, upravo se u vrijeme društvenih promjena propituje stari sustav vrijednosti i evocira revitaliziranje, redefiniranje ili odbacivanje određenih stereotipnih obrazaca. Konflikti koji nastaju na imaginarnoj razini u konačnici se prelijevaju na realne događaje i upravo je ta veza između kulturnih (rodnih) koncepata i političke realizacije glavna okosnica istraživanja na kojem se bazira ova knjiga. Razdoblje koje se obrađuje bogato je "lomovima":

The author analyzes the controversial concept of globalization from its technological, political, cultural, economic, & social aspects. He refers to S. Huntington, & also to J. Gray, & uses P.

Religion & religious communities as active components of each social & cultural set & as major factors in its functioning may contribute to social processes & relations or affect them both integrationally & disintegrationally. The paper lays out the theoretical & methodological grounds (functionalism) for the analysis of these processes & relations. As the examples of the integrational influence on the social & political processes in Croatia following all the social & political changes, we can mention the activities of the Catholic church (particularly in the Diaspora) &, to a degree, those of the Pentecostal church, while the disintegrational influence was exemplified by the activities of the Serbian Orthodox church. The text also includes a comparative analysis of the empirical data obtained from two studies carried out in Croatia (based on several partial indicators), which indicate a marked turn towards religiosity. Highlighted are possible individual & social aspects of these changes as well as the need for a complex & systematic monitoring of the religious developments in Croatia, the results of which might point to the possible integrational or disintegrational potentials of this "new religiosity" within a broader social framework. 4 Tables, 9 References.
