I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Nicholas Doumanis, lecturer in the School of

History at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia, for the valuable

guidance, advice and suggestions that he has provided me in the course of the writing of this

thesis. Thanks also go to his colleague, and my co-supervisor, Günther Minnerup, as well as

to Dr. Milan Vojkoviü, who also read this thesis. I further owe a great deal of gratitude to the

rest of the academic and administrative staff of the School of History at UNSW, and

especially to my fellow research students, in particular, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Susie

Protschky and Sally Cove, for all their help, support and companionship.

Thanks are also due to the staff of the Department of History at the University of Zagreb

my research trip to Croatia in 2004. I must also thank the University of Zagreb’s Office for
