REGIONALNI KONCEPT RAZVITKA HRVATSKE
THE REGIONAL CONCEPT OF DEVELOPMENT IN CROATIA

Summary/Abstract: The regional concept of development in Croatia appears at a time when regionalism has been raised to the level where it becomes the di/emma of the development of Croatian society. Instead of dealing with itcrudely and erroneously and often bringing it to the very edge of social thought "for" and "against", the author of this paper attempts to consider regionalism as a natural and universal process engaging all contemporary societies. The regional movement is discussed in both historical and current developmental context. The intention is to shed light upon its natural process quality and defend its positive role in the economic life and political constitution of the modern Croatian state. The author begins the text by presenting the historical course of regionalism in Croatia and by criticizing the attitude of politics towards regional function. In fact, this is a situation in which the natural characteristics of regionalismare being improperly "violated" by political aims, which have virtually distorted the concept of regionalism in this country.
