PRIVATIZATION OF HOUSING - A MORE EFFICACIOUS HOUSING POLICY

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this work is to indicate the processes of privatization of housing in developed countries as well as in former soclallst countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Therefore, the author analyses the latest literature and recent research findings. The processes of privatization of housing in developed countries are part of a bigger project of dismantling the welfare state and have been going on since the mid seventies. In the text, the basic strategies of privatization of housing are analysed, as well as their effects. Privatization of housing in former socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe demonstrates a mere attempt in establishing a housing poicy. In other words, an essentially different process in comparison with developed countries is under way. Due to the short duration of these processes, it is still not possible to give reliable assessments about them. Privatization of housing in Croatia has been essentially limited and conditioned by the current war.
