The fundamental mission of the Institute is developing and disseminating theoretical, methodological and technical knowledge and skills required for scientific and professional interpretation and evaluation of contemporary international relations which affect various human activities and related developmental trends important for the Republic of Croatia in the wider regional, European and global context. More than fifty years of tradition of the Institute for Development and International Relations reflects various development dynamics and fluctuating international connections worldwide. The Institute’s research often preceded changes in the environment in which it operated. In its scientific and professional work the Institute focuses on various forms of interconnections between international relations and political, economic and socio-cultural development tendencies. Particular attention is dedicated to security and defence policies, where issues related to non-proliferation and disarmament play a prominent role. The Institute is a member of a wide range of international and regional academic networks and associations.
