Abstract (croatian)

U radu se analizira posebnost veteranske populacije u Hrvatskoj po pitanju tri važna politička fenomena: političke participacije, političkih preferencija i ideološke samo-identifikacije. Rezultati analize podataka prikupljenih anketnim istraživanjem 2015. godine pokazuju da se hrvatski ratni veterani Domovinskog rata ne razlikuju od ostatka biračkog tijela u stopi političke participacije mjerene izlaznošću na parlamentarne izbore 2011. i 2015. godine te predsjedničke izbore 2015. godine. S druge strane, ratni veterani se razlikuju od ostatka biračkog tijela po političkim preferencijama i ideološkoj samoidentifikaciji, uz kontrolu drugih obilježja, i to na način da u većoj mjeri biraju stranke desnice i desnog centra te da u većoj mjeri svoju političku orijentaciju određuju kao desnu. U radu se navode i raspravljaju tumačenja te posebnosti ratnih veterana kroz tri različita pristupa koji naglašavaju selekcijsku pristranost odnosno socijalizacijske te mobilizacijske učinke.

Abstract (english)

The paper examines distinctiveness of war veterans compared to general population in Croatia according to three important political phenomena: political participation, party preferences and ideological self-identification. Analysis of sociological survey conducted in 2015 shows that there is no difference in the level of political participation measured by voting turnout in 2011 and 2015 parliamentary and 2015 presidential level between Croatian war veterans and the rest of the public. On the other side, war veterans differ from the rest of the electorate, with other variables held constant, in terms of party preferences and ideological self-identification. Compared to non-veterans, war veterans are more inclined to vote for the right and center-right parties and position themselves to the right side of the political spectrum. The paper discusses these differences, as well as its roots and consequences.
