Biography
Early life
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.[4]
Education
He studied history at the University of Zagreb from 1991 to 1996. Jakovina was the founder and first honorary member of the Croatian branch of International Students of History Association.[4] As an exchange student he attended courses at University of Kansas, USIA and Boston College.[4] He completed his postgraduate studies at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.[4] During the 2000/01 academic year, he was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Georgetown University in Washington D.C.[4] Since then, he has also attended London School of Economics and Political Science and seminars on the Holocaust in Israel.[4] He defended his PhD thesis at the University of Zagreb in 2002 which after publication received annual prize for young scientists in the fields of history and humanities.[5]
Academic career
Jakovina has presented many public lectures and attended many forums in Croatia and abroad.[6] He has co-authored a history textbook for senior high school students[4] and has authored hundreds of articles published in daily newspapers such as Jutarnji list and Vjesnik.[4] Due to his publicly expressed attitudes on the importance of objectivity in historical studies, he has often been attacked by Croatian radical right-wingers.[7] 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.[8][9] His books received state prizes in 2004 and 2014, while he also received Kiklop book prize in 2013.[10] Jakovina is a coordinator of the postgraduate Diplomacy study program of the Faculty of Political Science and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.[10]
