摘要：This paper aims to look into intergenerational equity; furthermore to answer the question whet- her intergenerational equity is a part of the globalization process in developing the consciousness on sustainable development. The term intergenerational equity is poorly spread and used in scientific and research papers in the Republic of Croatia. It would be necessary to explore scientific papers of foreign authors in order to define the term, and then translate them in a way that preserves their original me- aning. Intergenerational equity within public debt management is particularly emphasized. This paper consists of two parts. The first part tries to define intergenerational equity and to find similarities and differences between linked terms. Further on it tries to answer the previously mentioned question whether intergenerational equity is a part of the globalization process in developing the consciousness on sustainable development. The second part discusses intergenerational equity within public debt management.
