The impact of ‘authoritarian legacies’ on successor democracies has been
widely researched with reference to every type of non-democratic regime.
However, scant attention has been devoted to hybrid regimes legacies,
despite the growing relevance acquired by these regimes in the last decades.
This paper deals with the legacies of Levitsky and Way’s Competitive
Authoritarian model, evaluating their impact on successor democracies
through an analysis of the Croatian case. The research shows that the
legacies of the Tuđman’s regime significantly affected the Quality of
Democracy in Croatia. The innovative capacity of the former regime and
the continuous nature of the transition explain this relevant impact, only
partially moderated by the influence of important international actors (EU).
