This lecture offers a critical re-evaluation of the Settlement, arguing that its inherent hybridity\u2014a synthesis of pre-modern constitutionalism and modern governance\u2014created a doctrinal impasse that positivistic scholarship has failed to resolve. The analysis explores how this 19th-century interpretative paradigm persists through the unresolved debate over whether Croatia-Slavonia was a \u2018state\u2019 or a \u2018province\u2019. Such an academic status quo suggests that a shift toward a broader doctrinal perspective is essential for a comprehensive analysis of the era\u2019s institutions. Consequently, the lecture argues that Croatian autonomy should be interpreted as a \u2018hybrid zone\u2019 rather than through a strictly positivistic lens. It further demonstrates how the Settlement, despite its constraints, provided the formal institutional space necessary for the formation of modern Croatian institutions. By placing Croatia in a comparative context with autonomous Finland and Iceland, this lecture elaborates a distinct \u2018autonomous path\u2019 of state-building within the broader European experience. Ultimately, this critical case study helps to understand similar processes shaping governance and sovereignty in a contemporary context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please register for the event <a href=\"mailto:konferencia@ajk.elte.hu\" data-type=\"mailto\" data-id=\"mailto:konferencia@ajk.elte.hu\">here (email)<\/a>.<br>The lecture will be held in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-0c696e09-122b-49e9-8d10-c783d725dfb1\" href=\"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Dalibor-Cepulo-Pozivnica.pdf\">Dalibor \u010cepulo &#8211; Pozivnica<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Dalibor-Cepulo-Pozivnica.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-0c696e09-122b-49e9-8d10-c783d725dfb1\">Preuzmi<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":52766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":"Predavanje \"The Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868: A Hybrid Framework and Modern Governance\u201d Dalibora \u010cepula, odr\u017eat \u0107e se 7. svibnja 2026. u 16:00 sati na ELTE Faculty of Law u Budimpe\u0161ti."},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Snimka-zaslona-2026-04-30-075533.png?fit=1364%2C603&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52996,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52996","url_meta":{"origin":52763,"position":0},"title":"Nikolina \u017didek, &#8220;The Croatian Diaspora in Argentina&#8221;","author":"Filip \u0160imunjak","date":"8. svibnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"Description Following the collapse of the fascist Independent State of Croatia (1941\u20131945), around 10,000 political \u00e9migr\u00e9s fled to Per\u00f3n\u2019s Argentina.
