Socio-Ecological Challenges of Rural Development in Croatia

Globalization processes, aggravated by global ecological crisis, exert pressures on all parts of the world and Croatian rural areas are no exception. Post-socialist legacy, wartime destruction, transition to democratic liberal system, and accession to the EU are just some of the challenges to rural development in Croatia. However, while rural areas are regaining principal position in developmental policies, there is a lack of more comprehensive scientific research in Croatia that would inform national development strategies. We argue for the need for socio- ecological research, which would include not only economic but environmental and social aspects of rural development as well.
