Summary/Abstract: An empirical survey was conducted on a sample of students (N=685; 1997) attending four faculties at Zagreb University. Three instruments were constructed: for the perceptions of: (1) "coordinating economic development and postwar reconstruction", (2) "ethos-types" (egocentrics, utilitarians, biocentrics, holists), and (3) "state sovereignty over natural resources". The first instrument (1) uncovered two views: "ecological regulatory protectionism" – advantage to environmental protection executed by government measures and "ecological regulatory liberalism" – advantage to private ownership and liberal legislature. The other two instruments (2,3) indicate the following: 91% accept the holistic ethos and limitations of state sovereignty over natural resources.
