Abstract

Konsenzualni nalaz hrvatske politologije jest to da socioekonomski rascjep ne postoji u hrvatskom društvu. Isto tako, stranke nisu ideološki podijeljene oko ekonomskih pitanja, ni na idejnoj, ni na policy razini. Svrha ovog rada bila je istražiti bave li se stranke više ekonomijom nego ranije te je provedena analiza ekonomskih članaka u Jutarnjem i Večernjem listu tijekom izbornih kampanja 2007. i 2015. godine. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na zaključak da su se stranke više bavile ekonomijom, ali su i same uređivačke politike novina pridonijele snažnijoj zastupljenosti ekonomskih tema na stranicama novina u predizbornoj kampanji 2015. u odnosu na kampanju iz 2007. godine. Isto tako, u kampanji 2015. oporbena Domoljubna koalicija bitno je više govorila o ekonomskim temama od tada vladajuće Hrvatska raste. Nadalje, frekventnost određenih ekonomskih tema ne omogućuje donošenja zaključka da u Hrvatskoj postoji issue ownership, što znači da istraživanje nije potvrdilo da postoji ideološka borba između različitih koncepata ekonomskih ideja između dvije najveće stranke ili koalicije. Ovo istraživanje direktno je mjerilo broj i intenzitet stranačkih ekonomskih poruka u predizbornim kampanjama u tiskanim medijima i prvo je takve vrste u hrvatskoj politologiji.

Abstract (english)

It is a consensus amongst Croatian political scientists that there is no existing cleavage in Croatian society. Similarly, political parties are not ideologically divided around economic issues, neither on the ideological, nor on the policy level. The point of this work was to explore if parties have been, in recent times, dealing with economics more than they were doing it earlier. To see if that is the case, a research has been conducted on two of the Croatian biggest daily newspapers, Večernji list and Jutarnji list during election campaigns of 2007. and 2015. Results of this research leads to the conclusion that parties have been lately dealing more with economic issues, but also that the editors of the newspapers contributed a lot to the bigger representation of the economic issues in the newspapers in 2015. than 2007. Furthermore, in the 2015. campaign the Patriotic Coalition has talked a lot more than then ruling coalition Croatia Grows, but the frequency of specific economic topics doesn't allow the conclusion that there is an existing issue ownership pattern in Croatia. This means that this research hasn't proven any kind of ideological struggle around economic issues between parties. This research has measured the number and intensity of economic messages in the election campaigns in the print media and is the first of it's kind done in Croatia.
