Croatian public policy think tank Centre for Public Policy and Economic Analysis encourages precise policymaking, based on facts and the classical values of freedom.
Also, CEA is the Croatian frontrunner in preserving the shared Western heritage of transatlantic values and encouraging comparative policy learning.
Policy
Accordingly, CEA’s fundamental values are human dignity, natural rights, and individual liberty. Considering the main global risks, CEA strongly supports religious and economic freedom.
In particular, CEA provides policy analysis focused on strengthening defense, the EU and NATO-based transatlantic partnership, and support for Western allies, free market, entrepreneurial initiative, privatizations, limiting government, and the New Public Management. Furthermore, CEA strongly stands for the rule of law, law and order, and exclusively secure, controlled, and integrated immigration.
Orientation
Consequently, CEA supports center-right policies – conservative and conservative-liberal. Such a policy framework has been primarily based on a synergy between the Judeo-Christian values, the American Declaration of Independence, and the Scottish Enlightenment.
Projects
CEA’s key projects are Croatia 2030, Detektor, and Transatlantic Periscope.
Moreover, CEA has published translations of Morality of Capitalism and After the Welfare State and organized several panels – for example, Adam Smith 300 and ESG.
Recent research projects were on Political Perceptions about China in Central Europe and ESG-based ideological risks.
Expertise
Furthermore, CEA delivers precise solutions based on critical thinking and a deep understanding of complex problems.
Moreover, CEA’s work is based on the multidisciplinary expertise of its political scientists, economists, lawyers, historians, sociologists, philosophers, and public relations experts.
