Biography[edit]
Tvrtko Jakovina was born in the eastern Croatian town of Požega where he finished elementary school and high school, and also completed his compulsory military service.[3] He studied history at the University of Zagreb from 1991 to 1996. Jakovina was founder and first honorary member of the Croatian branch of International Students of History Association.[3] As an exchange student he attended courses at University of Kansas, USIA and Boston College.[3] He completed his postgraduate studies at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.[3] During the 2000/01 academic year, he was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Georgetown University in Washington D.C..[3] Since then, he has also attended London School of Economics and Political Science, and seminars on the Holocaust in Israel.[3]
Jakovina has presented many public lectures and attended many forums in Croatia and abroad.[4] He has co-authored a history textbook for senior high school students.[3] He has authored hundreds of articles published in daily newspapers such as Jutarnji list and Vjesnik.[3] Due to his publicly expressed attitudes on the importance of objectivity in historical studies, he has often been attacked by Croatian radical right-wingers.[5] In his work, he is mostly interested in the history of the 20th century, American history, the Cold War, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the policy of detente.[6][7]
