SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - THE CONCEPT OF CROATIA'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: The basic conditions of economic stabilisation, have been realised by the macroeconomic policy in Croatia. But only a longterm economic development strategy could provide answer to the following questions: With what and how can we approach the European and world economy? The purpose of this paper is to point out the essence of contemporary economic development trends and the preconditions that should be fullfilled in Croatia in order to join these trends as soon and as productively as possible. Qualitative analysis of contemporary literature dealing with this subject as well as the experience of developed economies indicate that economic growth causes high social costs. As transitional social costs that are already high should hot multiply, it is necessary for Croatia, while taking into consideration its specific conditions, to initiate economic growth congruent with the global development strategy - the strategy of sustainable development.
