Croatian public policy think tank that brings the light of freedom and fact-based policymaking is our vision. The Centre for Public Policy and Economic Analysis (CEA) strongly advocates fundamental values of natural rights, individual liberty and responsibility, free market, new public management, civic education for liberal democracy, law and order.

Our mission is to be frontrunners in initiation and design of policy solutions for a more free, competitive and secure transatlantic alliance.

Our main objective is to further develop fact-based policy risk analysis focused on competitiveness, economic freedom and privatizations, secure immigration, detecting disinformation, strong defense and further EU & NATO enlargement.

We are delivering precise solutions based on a strong multidisciplinary approach, critical thinking and deep understanding of complex problems.

Policy analysis and research

CEA is gathering information to design policy analysis and multidisciplinary research in the areas of economic policy, public management, global security and geopolitics. Moreover, CEA provides policy analysis for portals Ekonomski Lab, Pametni gradovi, Talas.hr, 4 Liberty.eu, Atlas Network, and ex-Banka.hr.

Key projects

CEA’s strategic projects are Croatia 2025 and Detektor – Croatia 2025 provides concrete and measurable public management and economic reform solutions for a more competitive Croatia, while Detektor provides open-source intelligence of populist disinformation and geopolitical risks for Croatia and transatlantic institutions (EU & NATO) associated with Russian and Chinese influence.
