Sažetak
In Croatia, as in other transition countries, the concept of 'clusters' is being utilised without any real understanding of its nature, operationalisation or linkage with impeding and impelling development factors. In the context of rapid economic restructuring, the policy of clusterisation, and its institutionalisation in new development agencies, is seen as the organisational solution of choice for local and regional regeneration, linking entrepreneurs into value chains on a local and regional level. Using case examples from Croatia (the Zagreb tourism cluster ; the Dalmatian small and family hotel cluster ; the Istrian tourism cluster), the paper explores and evaluates clusterisation policy from the perspective of a nuanced, multidimensional understanding of social capital, and outlines an embryonic comparative research agenda.
