Sažetak

Although co-operatives and social economy in Croatia have a long tradition, the periods of socialism and transition have had negative effects on their development. Based on an analysis of key indicators of business performance of co-operatives in Croatia, this paper provides an assessment of current state of affairs in this sector of the Croatian economy. Moreover, the paper provides insights into the state of affairs and current trends in this area in European countries. On the basis of the comparison of the state of affairs of cooperatives and social economy in Croatia and European countries, potentials and recommendations are outlined. The recommendations, which are addressed to economic and social policy makers, are made in order to optimise the future development of this sector in Croatia.
