Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se Živim zidom kao populističkom strankom te analizom njegovih birača. Prvo se govori o samom populizmu, razlozima njegova nastanka, povijesnim primjerima, ali i onim modernim. Zatim se bavi programom stranke Živi zid te pokušava izvući njihove glavne ideje. Pokušava se dokazati tezu da su njihovi birači populistički nastrojeni te pokušati dokazati kako su birači Živog zida više populistički nastrojeni od ostatka biračkog tijela. Koriste se krostabulacije koje su dobivene ispitivanjem javnog mnijenja 2018. godine koje su rekodirane tako da pokazuju usporedbu birača Živog zida i birača ostalih političkih stranaka u Hrvatskoj. Iz ankete su odabrana određena pitanja za koja bi se moglo reći da imaju populistički predznak. Rezultat koji je dobiven pokazuje kako birači Živog zida nemaju pretjerane populističke tendencije te kako ne postoji pretjerana razlika između birača Živog zida te ostatka biračke populacije. Uz to, birači Živoga zida pokazuju se kao manje religiozni, tolerantniji i liberalniji nego li opća biračka populacija. Ova i slične teme imaju velik potencijal u budućim istraživanjima jer je Živi zid relativno nova stranka koja tek treba pokazati svoje pravo lice te će analiza njegove promjene trebati uključivati i analizu promjene birača ove stranke.

Abstract (english)

This master's thesis deals with Human Shield as a populist party and analyzes its voters. It first deals with populism itself, the reasons for its emergence, as well as examples, both historic and modern. The thesis then deals with the Human Shield party manifesto and tries to distill its main ideas. Further, the thesis tries to confirm the hypothesis that this party’s voters are populist-oriented and that they showcase this tendency more than voters of other parties. The analysis employs cross-tabulations retrieved from a 2018 public opinion poll which was recoded as to enable a comparison of Human Shield voters and voters of other Croatian political parties. Certain questions with a populist streak were chosen from the total of questions contained in the poll. The results show that Human Shield voters are not overly populist-oriented and that there are no major differences between voters of this party and other voters. In addition, the results show that Human Shield voters are less religious, more tolerant and more liberal-oriented than the general electorate. This and similar topics have a great potential for future research because Human Shield is a relatively young party which has yet to show its true nature. Analysis of its future change shall, therefore, also encompass analysis of changes of its voters.
