Abstract

The authors describe and analyse the principle of horizontality in youth policies in Croatia by using the example of the National Youth Programme. After the initial conceptualization of youth policy, authors approach the identification and segmentation of youth policy objectives and place them in the context of certain aspects of public policy analysis. Public policy objectives are divided into two categories: those relating directly to young people, and thus fall within the very heart of youth policy and those related indirectly to young people. The paper shows that when creating all policies consisting of a number of topics and actors, it is necessary to take into account the principle of horizontality and policy coordination.

Keywords
