EUROPEAN UNION CLUSTER POLICY
Lela Tijanić
Sažetak
Cluster creation represents a successful tool with which to face the challenges of globalisation processes. The aim of the study is to determine cluster policy initiatives in the EU member countries, to summarize these initiatives’ results and also to analyse the position of Croatian clusters within the EU. The EU 15 member countries have developed national and regional cluster policies while in the EU 12 policies are developed as a part of other policies. The results of the research show that Germany is leading according to the number and varieties of clusters, the majority of clusters in EU 27 have 1 «star» and that, according to the cluster category, construction clusters dominate. Croatia supports clusters in order to increase the export and strengthen its competitiveness on the international market, so that the necessity to develop cluster policy initiatives is increasingly growing.
