Sažetak
All Croatian governments should acknowledge the importance of the investment growth activities in order to achieve its objectives in the implementation of economic policy measures, in particular to enable the equal decrease in the unemployment and encourage the employment increase in all Croatian regions. The main goal of the research is to acknowledge in(efficiency) of Croatian governments` investments policy on the decrease of the unemployment and on the encouraging of the employment in the Eastern Croatia. Both, ideological and opportunistic models will be used for investigating into theirs specificities. The main hypothesis of the research is that governments` investment policies should further take into consideration the given ideological frame in order to decrease the unemployment and increase employment. Although the ideological models characterize left governments more sensitive in suppressing the unemployment with regards to the right-wing ones, on the contrary, higher unemployment was registered in Eastern Croatia in their governance. Therefore, left-wing Croatian governments must put considerable weight on increasing investment activities whereby opportunistic turning towards "middle voters" will create them something easier position. If the right-wing governments follow more its "ideological worldview", and also with the set economic goals want to reduce unemployment and increase employment in Eastern Croatia, then they will have something better position of left-wing governments, but their effect on the reduction of unemployment in eastern counties is still insufficient. If right-wing governments try to turn to the „middle voters“ instead of abiding by their ideologies, this would only make their position worse in the whole unemployment decrease process in Eastern Croatia because that would mean falling effect of investments on employment. All the Croatian governments in implementing economic policy must additionally change the structure employed by the production sector and in particular stress regional equalization and efficiency in reducing unemployment and employment growth in Eastern Croatia, which would reduce the emigration of the active workforce seeking a steady employment abroad.
