The use of wider, Slavic notion to surpass provincial and regional borders was present since the very beginning of the Slovenian nationalism which was closely connected with the neighbouring German element.

The book depicts the development of ideological borders between Slovenians and Croatians since the beginning of the 19th century until the end of World War I. Notable emphasis is placed on the role of the Yugoslav ideology, which was not uniform – the Slovenian notion of Yugoslavism was different from the Croatian viewpoint. Establishing boundaries with the nationalism of allies was harder than setting oneself apart from one's national opponents, so Slovenians as well as Croatians avoided fixing the borders. In this way uncertainties were postponed to the future.
