Croatian public policy think tank Centre for Public Policy and Economic Analysis helps to bring the light of freedom and fact-based policymaking. Accordingly, CEA’s mission is to be the Croatian frontrunner in advocating secure, free, and competitive transatlantic institutions. Moreover, the CEA encourages comparative policy learning from developed countries.
Policy
In line with that vision and mission, CEA strongly supports the fundamental values of natural rights and individual liberty, especially religious and economic freedom.
All this is important for building a resilient democratic political culture.
Equally important, CEA’s main objective is to advance policy analysis focused on defense and the transatlantic partnership.
In addition, CEA strongly supports limited government and New Public Management. Finally, CEA stands for safe and controlled immigration and law and order.
Orientation
Consequently, CEA supports center-right conservative, conservative-liberal, and ordoliberal policies based on a synergy between the values of Western Christianity and the Enlightenment. Such policies are philosophically opposed to anarchism, progressive liberalism, radical secularism, communism, and the extreme left/right.
In line with that, CEA is close to Niall Ferguson, Samuel Huntington, Max Weber, Friedrich Naumann, Adam Smith, John Locke, John Milton, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich von Hayek, Talcott Parsons, and the Founding Fathers.
Publishing
Moreover, CEA has published translations of Morality of Capitalism and After the Welfare State and organized several round tables and panels. The last one was the panel on 300 years of Adam Smith.
CEA organized an ESG panel and published on the ESG Green Woke agenda.
Projects
Regarding key projects, Think Tank Detektor detects populist disinformation as geopolitical risks associated with Russian, Chinese, Iranian, Serbian, and other aggressive influences. In this regard, CEA stands firmly with Ukraine, Moldova, Taiwan, Israel, South Korea, and other countries struggling with repressive regimes.
In addition, Croatia 2025 provides measurable public management and institutional reforms in Croatia.
Expertise
Furthermore, CEA delivers precise solutions based on critical thinking and a deep understanding of complex problems. Because of that, CEA supports the important competitive advantages of human intelligence against AI.
Moreover, CEA’s work is based on the expertise of its political scientists, economists, lawyers, historians, sociologists, philosophers, and public relations experts. In particular, CEA combines multidisciplinary expertise in public policy, public affairs, public management, geopolitics, international relations, political economy, macroeconomics, law, intellectual history, religion and politics, political sociology, and political philosophy.
