Sažetak
The international community has elaborated the concept of sustainable development as a political blueprint of recommendations for action. The task of establishing concordance on indicators for the identification, assessment and implementation of sustainability of development projects has been relegated to the sciences. A routine task at first sight, it has revealed many generic shortcomings. The article analyses some of these, their origins, and the fact that that there is even no general agreement on what is sustainable development.
The reconstruction of the Croatian economy based on the principle of sustainability should involve a radical departure from the type of the economy prevalent before 1989. Here, as elsewhere, science should be mobilized for this task. The argument is advanced that such a task is interdisciplinary by virtue, but that in the present structure the prerequisites are missing. The article highlights structural inadequacies of science both in the world at large and in Croatia, which effectively prevent fulfillment of such a task. Indeed, the question is posed on what exactly is science for development?
