Konceptualni okvir razmišljanja o budućem razvoju u Hrvatskoj

Teorije razvoja, kao i ekonomija razvoja javljaju se nakon II svjetskog rata i povezane su s političkim projektom razvijanja siromašnih zemalja juga. Krajem 1970-ih godina ti se teorijski doprinosi svjetskom razvoju gube pred dominacijom i implementacijom neo-klasične paradigme ekonomskog rasta. 1980-ih, Washingtonski konsenzus postaje razvojni model manje razvijenih zemalja. Taj model, ili skup recepata, implementiran je i u svim tranzicijskim zemljama srednje i istočne Evrope. Razvojna strategija tranzicije stoga je nametnuta izvana, a o sposobnosti/nesposobnosti pojedinih vlada da strateški upravljaju/ne upravljaju promjenama, ovisilo je da li će tranzicijski razvoj biti uspješan ili neuspješan. U Hrvatskoj se također primjenjuje isti model. Zbog nedostatka strateških vizija, i kapaciteta vlade/a za upravljanja promjenama, kao posljedica se javljaju visoki društveni troškovi tranzicije. Recentna teorijska razmišljanja o razvoju ističu potrebu izgradnje nove razvojne paradigme. Razvoj kao transformacija društva, paradigma je koju bi trebale inicirati i razvijati sve zainteresirane strane u Hrvatskoj.Development theories, unlike the development economics are emerging after the Second World War as a consequence of the political project of developing the poor countries in the south. In late 1970s, these theoretical contributions to the world development are disappearing, under the domination and implementation of the neo-classical paradigm of economic growth. In 1980s, the Washington consensus becomes the development model for the less developed countries. The model, or the collection of receipts, was implemented in all transition Central and Eastern European countries. Consequently, the transition development strategy was imposed from abroad, and whether the transition development would be successful or unsuccessful was depending upon capabilities/non-capabilities of particular governments to strategically govern/non-govern the changes. The same model was implicated in Croatia. High social transition costs are emerging, due to the lack of strategic vision and capacities of the government\u27s. Recent theoretical rethinking of development is emphasizing the necessity of implementing the new development paradigm. The development as a transformation of society is the paradigm that should be initiated and developed by all stakeholders in Croatia
