enhanced social dimension. The authors have also evaluated perspectives of greater affirmation for social economy in Croatia. The energy goals of the Lisbon Strategy are analyzed by Ana-Maria Boromisa, whose targets of achieving competitiveness, sustainability and security of energy supply are inherited by Europe 2020 as well. Nevertheless, these achievements are hindered by the often conflictual nature and trade-offs between these goals and member states' reluctance to allow liberalization of the energy market sector. Regarding Croatia's energy policy, it is shaped by national development goals, the EU integration process and the EU energy policy itself. Finally, the environmental dimension of the EU development strategies is given by Sanja Tišma and Helena Čermak. They indicated that the 6th Environmental Action Programme launched in 2001 became the basis for the development of the Lisbon Strategy's environmental branch. The environmental dimension represents a constituent part of the new Europe 2020 strategy with its emphasis on "green growth", where it serves as a platform for increased innovation, productivity and employment. However, the success of environmental goals in the future period will depend on their policy integration in other areas and better cooperation among different stakeholders. The authors also evaluate compliance with the EU environmental acquis among the new EU member states, which can serve as a good basis for Croatia's implementation of the EU environmental protection policy. Launching of the Europe 2020 strategy as the new EU development agenda represents perfect momentum for the evaluation of the Lisbon decade and perspectives of the new strategy. Therefore, the book represents a valuable contribution to the analysis of the entire EU governance evolution that has been streamlined by the Lisbon-type reforms, a tendency confirmed by the new strategy. Indeed, Europe 2020 now holds a pivotal position in the entire EU policy-making because all major policies would have to incorporate its recommendations that represent the tenets of the EU's development in the upcoming period. These tenets are knowledge and innovation, competitiveness and green growth underpinned by social inclusion and higher levels of employment. This has particular importance for Croatia, as the future new EU member state, which should use the Europe 2020 strategy as leverage for reforms, thus paving the way for its efficient EU membership. In conclusion, the recommendations and evaluation of best practices in this book represent a valuable contribution on that path.
