Sažetak
As a part of the thematic unit "The Role of Law in Economic Development", this paper analyses the constitutional provisions aimed at encouraging the development of all areas of the state territory of the Republic of Croatia. This applies in particular to the constitutional provisions that prescribe: the state's responsibility for the development of all its territories, the protection of areas of interest for the Republic of Croatia, the duty of the state to assist financially weaker units of local self-government in accordance with the law and the obligation of the Republic of Croatia to achieve the objectives of the European Union. In that context, the paper tries to answer to what extent these constitutional provisions contribute to the developmental position of the Eastern Croatia. The relationship between the prescribed responsibility and the effectiveness of the state is also observed. From the research methodology, the following methods are used: normative method, secondary research, comparative method, historical method, analysis method and statistical method. The fundamental problem noted in the paper is that the region of the Eastern Croatia, in the latest results of the development index of December 2017, is still at the bottom of economic and social development. Therefore, the question of the effectiveness of constitutional norms is logically challenged. In this connection, the question arises as to why the East Slavonia is developing slower than most parts of Croatian territory, despite the prescribed constitutional responsibility of the state. In addition to analysing the provisions of the Croatian Constitution, the paper also provides comparative overview of constitutional provisions encouraging the development of all parts of the state territory in other European countries: Italy, Spain, the Federal Republic of Germany and Switzerland. It is concluded that constitutional provisions that encourage the development of all state areas are not found only in the Croatian Constitution but also in the constitutions of some European states. However, the effectiveness of constitutional provisions depends on a range of political, economic, cultural and other factors.
