IN ENGLISH: In Western European countries, studies on the relationship between class position and political outlooks so far have a limited understanding of the relevance of class analysis, while in semiperipheral countries, like Croatia, research on class-related mechanisms and political behavior is modest, with a clear deficit of empirical research. The main goal of class analysis is to have the potential to explain various life outcomes primarily through explaining and exploring relationships between class position and life chances. In this article, we have employed neo-Weberian class analysis with the purpose to explore the relationship between class position and political behavior. In the article we use the concept of political behavior as a broader term that consists of individuals’ interest in politics, political efficacy, and political participation (voter turnout). We have used the data from the International Social Survey Program module Role of Government V from 2016. Analysis has shown that in Croatia, class membership is a predictor of interest in politics and political efficacy, i.e., that the members of a higher class show greater interest in politics and assess that they have a better understanding of politics. Class per se does not have a direct effect on voter turnout, but it is mediated through political efficacy and interest in politics since voting is mostly under the influence of personal interest in politics. --------------- IN CROATIAN: U zapadnoeuropskim zemljama istraživanja odnosa između klasne pozicije i političkih stavova do sada su pokazivala ograničeno shvaćanje važnosti klasne analize, a u zemljama polu-periferije, poput Hrvatske, istraživanja mehanizama povezanih s klasom i političkog ponašanja su skromna, s jasnim nedostatkom empirijskih istraživanja. Glavni cilj klasne analize je stvoriti mogućnost objašnjenja različitih životnih ishoda, prvenstveno kroz objašnjavanje i istraživanje odnosa između klasne pozicije i životnih šansi. U ovom smo članku koristili neoveberijansku klasnu analizu kako bismo istražili odnos između klasne pozicije i političkog ponašanja. U članku koristimo koncept političkog ponašanja kao širi termin koji se sastoji od zainteresiranosti pojedinaca za politiku, njihove političke efikasnosti te političke participacije (izlaska na izbore). Koristili smo podatke iz programa ISSP (International Social Survey Program) i to modula Uloga vlasti V iz 2016. godine. Analiza je pokazala da je u Hrvatskoj klasna pripadnost prediktor zainteresiranosti za politiku i političke efikasnosti, odnosno da pripadnici više klase pokazuju veće zanimanje za politiku i procjenjuju da se bolje razumiju u politiku. Klasa po sebi nema izravan učinak na izlazak na izbore, ali on je posredovan političkom efikasnošću i zanimanjem za politiku, obzirom da je glasovanje većinom pod utjecajem osobne zainteresiranosti za politiku.
