Centre for Public Policy and Economic Analysis (CEA) is Croatian public policy think tank founded in 2010 and based in Zagreb which advocates more individual liberty, free market, limited government, strong national security and increased competitiveness for Croatia and the European Union. CEA strongly supports the EU-NATO institutions and transatlantic partnership as guarantors of liberal democracy and freedom from repressive authoritarian governments.
In order to advocate these values, CEA is gathering information and providing policy analysis regarding economic policy, public administration, national security and geopolitics, with multidisciplinary approach of its political scientists (policy analysts and public management experts), (macro)economists, lawyers and other experts. CEA also provides policy analysis for portals Talas, Atlas Network, 4 LIBERTY.eu, Ekonomski Lab (and provided analysis for ex-business portals Banka.hr & Prvi plan).
CEA’s strategic projects are Croatia 2025 and Think Tank Detektor. Croatia 2025 provides concrete and measurable public management and economic reform solutions for more competitive Croatia, while Think Tank Detektor aims to detect open source disinformation which represent a growing geopolitical security risk for liberal democracy in Croatia and within the whole EU-NATO transatlantic framework. CEA’s policy analysis on disinformation includes the following articles: Populist Conspiracy Narratives and Other Forms of Disinformation in Croatia, Postoji li kriza liberalne demokracije? and Dezinformacije se najbolje šire kroz populizam.
CEA’s first project Entrepreneurial Initiative was focused on publishing its first book on entrepreneurship friendly policies and translating Atlas Network’s books Morality of Capitalism & After the Welfare State. CEA organized several policy round tables and lectures on policy topics which include saving public money, quality in public administration, government’s role in the economy, bureaucratic obstacles to investment climate, Eurozone crisis and flexicurity model.
With the aim to advocate and defend freedom, CEA’s international think tank network includes Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, European Values, Fraser Institute, Libertarian Club, Texas Public Policy Foundation, Atlas Economic Research Foundation, Lithuanian Free Market Institute, Timbro, Hayek Institute and Austrian Economics Center. CEA participated in several think tank seminars, including the following: European Values (Prague) – training on disinformation activities within “Kremlin Watch” project; Southern Methodist University (Dallas) – Economic Freedom Network; Atlas Economic Research Foundation (New York) – Think Tank Leadership Training and Liberty Forum; Lithuanian Free Market Institute (Vilnius) – European Academy for Intellectual Entrepreneurs, Think-tank school; Friedrich Naumann Foundation (Tbilisi) – International Security of South Caucasus, NATO, and EU Perspectives; Friedrich Naumann Foundation (Gummersbach) – International Academy for Leadership; Libertarian Club (Belgrade), Svetilnik (Ljubljana) – Free Market Road Show; Institute for Economic Studies Europe (Aix-en-Provence) – Understanding the Current Crisis to find our Way Out.
