What really determines the electoral decision of Croatian voters? To get an answer to that question, in the twelfth episode, Enes Kulenovi\u0107 interviewed Kosta Bovan, associate professor at the Faculty of Political Science in Zagreb and an expert in political behavior, about the recent book Croatian Voters: 30 Years of Political Behavior and Opinion, which he co-edited with Danijela \u0160irini\u0107 and Vi\u0161eslav Raos. In addition to the issue of preparing and harmonizing the database and editing the volume, four topics from a wider field covered by a dozen authors, were singled out in the conversation: the issue of political knowledge related to civic education, the issue of political trust of citizens in other citizens and institutions, the issue of party identification, and explanation of voting behavior itself using different models. If you want to find out what it means that political trust is low, how and why party identification is falling, and whether voter decisions in Croatia are better explained by the economic model of rational choice, the model of political psychology in relation to voter self-identification, or the model of political sociology in relation to religion and political history, and why new research in the field will focus on political socialization, the perception of corruption and different understandings of democracy, once again tune in to the Political Science Podcast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
