Local Development Strategies Without Strategic Thinking: Lost in Between Politicians' Games, Administrations' Rigidity and Planner's Depression
Abstract
A large number of different strategies at the central, regional
and local level have been done in the last decade in Serbia.
Studies on their quality show that quite a number of strategic
documents meet the standards in their form, but in terms of the
content, they do not have a clear strategy and strategic projects,
they overlap and are poorly intercoordinated. The paper
indentifies and discusses the stages and steps in the strategic
planning process, that are crucial for formulating long-term
sustainable development solutions for a specific territory and
the improvement of its citizens’ lives. Its main thesis is that the
local strategies lack the strategic thinking, i. e. that the solutions
are not based on its products. Attitudes about the causes of
the lack of the strategic in the strategies are illustrated with a
specific example: the planning process and the content of the
Development strategy of the City of Pančevo.
