U radu se razmatra važnost fazne heuristike za razvoj javnih politika kao akademske discipline. Pod faznom heuristikom podrazumijeva se shvaćanje koje ističe da proces stvaranja politika prolazi kroz niz sukcesivnih faza, poput postavljanja dnevnog reda, formulacije, legitimiranja, implementacije i vrednovanja javnih politika. Rad se zasniva na raz...
Cilj je ovoga rada prikazati i analizirati istraživanje javnih politika u kontekstu razvoja hrvatske politologije te odnos istraživanja javnih politika unutar političke znanosti s njihovim zahvaćanjem kroz druge znanosti i međudisciplinarna područja u Hrvatskoj. Nakon uvoda se u prvome dijelu rada određuju javne politike te se prikazuje razvoj teor...
Bioekonomija jedna je od politika Europske unije koja ima za cilj osnažiti gospodarstva kroz veću učinkovitost korištenja biomase putem brojnih inovacija te olakšati prijelaz na zelene politike kroz dobavu obnovljivog ugljika u društvo. Poljoprivreda kao primarni proizvodni sektor ima važnu ulogu u razvoju kružne i održive bioekonomije. Istraživanj...
Das Kapitel analysiert die demokratische Entwicklung und die ökonomische Transformation in Kroatien seit 1990. Nach einem von Krieg und semi-autoritärem Regieren geprägten Jahrzehnt entstand im Jahr 2000 ein parlamentarisches Regierungssystem mit einer moderat polarisierten, pluralistischen Parteienlandschaft. Trotz der erzielten Demokratisierungsf...
The unifying theme of our study is that democratic backsliding in the post-socialist new EU member states occurs against the backdrop of existing or emerging cases of state capture. Following an extensive overview of corporate and party state capture, we update and develop new empirical indicators for tracing each phenomenon. Our claim is that whil...

The paper analyses the key events of the international and domestic context of the Croatian agricultural policymaking process in the period from 1995 to 2013. By mapping the key events and outputs of the policy set out in the development documents of the Croatian agriculture, it was determined that the domestic context influences 51% policy outputs...
As it transitions to democracy from a history of authoritarianism, Croatia's interest group system is a work in progress. It is slowly moving from a fluid, informal, and behind the scenes group system to one more institutionalized, with wider participation, and some transparency of group activity. In this article, we explain the evolution of Croati...
The first half of our final chapter gives a brief overview of previous chapters. On the other hand, the second half deals with institutions, interests and ideas and how they mutually interact. This is important since underperforming institutions serve as one of key ingredients for explaining economic stagnation and divergence in Croatia. But what e...
The central puzzle of Croatia’s post-communist transition has been the extent of economic and institutional divergence with new EU member states bound by common historical legacy and imperatives of institutional transformation following a collapse of the old institutional order. In this chapter we identify two key explanations that stand behind thi...

The se...
Although the Early Warning System on New Psychoactive Substances in the Republic of Croatia was established in 2007, the phenomenon of new psychoactive substances only recently began garnering attention. This surge in attention is largely due to reports from other EU countries on intoxications and deaths connected to these, as well as the increased...
Pojava novih psihoaktivnih tvari u Hrvatskoj počela je zaokupljati pažnju javnosti tek nedavno, iako je nacionalni Sustav ranog upozoravanja u slučaju pojave novih psihoaktivnih tvari ustrojen još 2007. godine. Prepoznavanju problema od strane javnosti pridonijela su izvješća o trovanjima i smrtnim slučajevima povezanim s konzumiranjem takvih tvari...
The formulation and implementation of public policy depends on the coordination capacities. In recent decades the need for coordination has increased due to the fragmentation caused by NPM reforms, decentralisation processes, the proliferation of the cross-cutting issues, as well as increased globalisation, Europeanisation, and professionalization....
Purpose: This study is dealing with the application of evidence-based policy-making in Croatian public administration and the general role of applied policy analysis in the Croatian system of governance.
Methodology: This development is illustrated by the peculiarities of introducing regulatory impact assessment (RIA) tools in Croatian public admi...
Money has a symbolic and practical value in political competition and just because the money is important in politics, it can threaten democracy if its role is not adequately regulated. The basic features of party finance regulation will be shown in this paper: causes, instruments and impact. The regulation of party finances began in 1960s and the...
Political parties are one of the key institutions of the political system, but today the public
perceives political parties quite negative; public is bothered with their connections with powerful
economic lobbies and their confidence is shaken by numerous money abuses for political purposes.
To arrange the relationship between parties and donors, p...

Summary Comparative politics has shown interest in the topic of financing political par- ties only recently. The reason for this is the fact that a more systematic regulation of financing elections and parties - apart from Sweden where the process of regulation began in the 1960s - started only in the 1970s and 1980s. Namely, the expenditure incurr...
The paper deals with the possible impact of globalization and decentralization on the future role of public spending in Croatia. In the first part, the author describes the elements of government intervention in the economic process during the 20th century and the theoretical origin of public goods as a resource that the market is incapable of effi...
The author demonstrates the importance of public finances as a source of the theory of public choice. He identifies the contributions of the continental theorists of public choice from late 19th and early 20th century, particularly that of the Swedish economist Knut Wicksell. The author considers his concept of the method of fair taxation the centr...
The paper considers the role of policy analysis tools in preparing decisions within the Croatian public administration system, concentrating on the specific phase of adoption or formulation of public policy. The starting argument in the paper is that the application of the policy analysis is fairly limited in the Croatian public sector. Policy scie...

The author looks into the methodological features of public choice theory. On the example of James Buchanan’s contribution, he demonstrates the differences between that kind of approach (often dubbed political economy) versus welfare economics and mainstream economics. Unlike welfare economics, which tries to work out the optimal state of allocatio...
"We start our short review article by citing the words written by Wallace Oates, one of the most prominent authors in the fiscal federalism field. He indicates that decentralization, in its various forms, became an all-pervasive phenomenon, like a globalization. After all, a strong connection between globalization and localization has been repeated...
