| Title | Europeanization in the Implementation of the LEADER Programme: The Case of Croatia |
| Summary | This paper is an assessment of the implementation of the LEADER programme in Croatia. Besides presenting the main features of the LEADER programme in general and its implementation in Croatia, it additionally interconnects the implementation of this programme with a concept of Europeanization. In this paper it is argued that the implementation of the LEADER programme in Croatia was a result of the Europeanization, additionally enhanced by the financial and political incentives Croatian government had and have. The LEADER programme was just perceived as one of the steps on the way that can facilitate Croatian accession to the European Union. It is also argued that Croatia was not fully prepared for the implementation process, which diminishes the possibility for the rural areas to fully prosper and benefit from this programme. Key words: LEADER programe, LAG, Croatia, Europeanization |
