Research policy, financing and performance: Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia in comparative perspective

The study seeks to provide an informative comparison of policy developments, financing and performance in the three countries which were once part of the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia: Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia. It explores extensively the degree to which financing as a policy instrument is conducive to the development of scientific research within these countries. The book offers empirical data on research policy, funding and performance, which can be of use for future policymaking in the three countries, as well as useful for international institutions and organisations approaching or seeking to enhance their understanding of the research systems under study.
