Sažetak
How is the economic recession to be halted? How are new investment processes to be launched? What economic model should be developed? Where does the responsibility lie? Who should play the leading role and how should it be implemented? – These are the burning issues of the day. Although Croatia is a country with a market economy, the state continues to play the leading role in economic development. The functions of the state and the way it works need to be adapted to the peculiarities of each country – which in the case of Croatia means retaining a significant dose of state interventionism and reforming the national administration. Formulating and implementing development policies remains the task of the state administration. Traditional methods of administering and stimulating the economy are limited and are not yielding sufficient results. On the one hand, because they are budgetary in nature and as such inadequate at a time of restrictive budget policy, and on the other hand, they are a result of politicization and a lack of expertise. A country must transcend its national frame in order to develop. One of the means of doing so is by intensifying economic diplomacy and exports – but this is an insufficient means. Above and beyond this, avenues must be found to invest in supranational strategic development projects. Croatia must expand its operational frame and make a quality contribution to formulating and implementing the economic structuring and the development in general of Southeast Europe.
