Abstract
The article’s aim is to explain the essence and specificity of the creation of socio-economic strategies on the example of key documents of development character in selected EU countries. The author discusses the definitional issues related to socio-economic strategies, the motives for their creation, the institutions preparing them, typologies of strategies and methods of their development, as well as the overarching goals formulated in these documents. A separate part of the research is devoted to selected issues that are presented in key strategic documents of the European countries. In the article, examples of solutions implemented in the leading socio-economic strategies of the selected EU countries such as Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Croatia are woven into theoretical considerations. Primary sources in the form of strategic documents and available scientific literature were used for the analysis. The article allows, on the one hand, to better prepare for the initiation of the entire process of drawing up socio-economic strategies and, on the other hand, to familiarise readers with the development directions of individual European countries.
