Reflections on International Actors and the Making of Social Policy in Croatia
Paul Stubbs

Sažetak
Addressing the role of international actors in three pivotal moments in the development of social policy in post-independence Croatia, the article sees welfare reforms as complex interactive processes in which legacies and contexts matter. The mistrust created by an implicit social policy in the context of a new humanitarianism during the wars, compounded by the problems of externally driven reform projects, continue to limit changes in Croatia’s social welfare policies and practices. However, a delayed yet emergent Europeanisation, expressed in the Joint Memorandum on Social Inclusion, opens up four dialogic zones and potential alignments between EU thinking and Croatian realities: statistical, participatory, governance, and policy commitments and practice.
