Sažetak
This text provides a basic overview of theories, policies and practices in spatial economic development in contemporary Croatia, setting these in an historical context, and outlining possibilities for the future. The paper addresses the complexities and spatial specificities, goes on to discuss the need for a clearer triangulation between development theories, research and education in Croatia, and addresses the relationship between national and international currents. Noting the legacy of theories of development under socialism, and going beyond a crude opposition between ’neo-liberal’ and ’neo- Keynesian’ theories, the paper sets out the basis for an integrated approach to development management and strategic development planning, itself requiring innovative, multi-disciplinary, research approaches and educational processes committed to the creation of new, flexible, competences. The paper also focuses on aspects of the complex relationship between spatial economic development and good governance. The paper notes the distorting impact of a range of external assistance programs and of international consultancies, and the continued tension between European and American approaches. Internal impediments to good governance are discussed in terms of their horizontal dimensions – policy confusion, the proliferation of institutions and strategic bodies and tensions and inconsistencies between legal, political and administrative dimensions in terms of the lack of fit between, and unsustainability of some aspects of, different tiers of government.
