The ipmact of foreign trade policy of the European union on foreign trade of the Republic of Croatia

Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje kako se vanjskotrgovinska politika Europske unije odrazila na trgovinu Republike Hrvatske. Uspoređuju se rezulatati ostvareni u vremenu prije ulaska u tu grupaciju i u kratko vrijeme otkako je Hrvatska punopravna članica. Promatran je razvoj vanjske trgovine i vanjskotrgovinskih sporazuma Europske unije i hrvatska trgovina s najbitnijim zemljama partnerima i ekonomskim grupacijama. U radu je analiza usmjerena na trgovinu robom zbog lakše kvantifikacije, dok trgovina uslugama nije obuhvaćena. Zaključak rada je da je utjecaj vanjskotrgovinske politike Europske unije na hrvatsku međunarodnu razmjenu ogroman i uglavnom pozitivan, ali i puno duže traje od samog članstva Hrvatske u Uniji.This thesis explores the impact of the European Union's foreign trade policy on Croatian trade.
