Economic Aspects of Security
The goal of this project lies in the definition of costs that every country, as well as Croatia, must assume, and their comparison to the benefits that are expected from the participation in international security arrangements, whereby the image of general cost-effectiveness of Croatian participation within them would become apparent. The project particularly explores the perspective of relations between the development of the economy and security in South-East Europe. Through this area pass many of the corridors of new unconventional threats, such as terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, illegal trafficking in drugs and people, and other, from East to the West - that is towards the EU. Croatia, as well as other countries in the region, must control this traffic, and this can only be done if the country is institutionally and democratically stable. One of the preconditions of such stability is adequate economic development, and, in such a way, it is clearly indicated how important such development is for the establishment of structure of stability, that is, again, the precondition for the construction of sustainable knowledge society. The goal and the purpose of this program being the knowledge based society as the guarantee of the economic and every other aspect of progress in the environment of global security and coexistence.
