| Title | POLICY FAILURE OF CROATIAN DECENTRALIZATION POLICY |
| Summary | After it gained its independence in 1991, Croatia established a fiscally centralized and territorially inefficient structure. This situation was addressed through the decentralization policy since 2001, but as the situation largely remained the same, the policy is considered a failure. Previous literature has widely acknowledged this failure, however the question of why and how this policy failed remained mainly unanswered. In order to answer this important question, this paper uses qualitative methods and demonstrates that the sources of policy failure were twofold: 1) flaws in the formulation stage of the policy and 2) structuralunderlying effects of local political-clientelism and centralism present in the system |
