Promidžba demokracije kao vanjskopolitički cilj Europske Unije ; The Promotion of Democracy as a Foreign Policy Goal of the European Union
Promidžba demokracije temeljni je cilj vanjske politike EU-a, a ujedno i međunarodna dimenzija demokratizacije kao temeljnog i ključnog političkog ishoda proširenja unija na države Istočne, Srednje i Jugoistočne Europe. U svjetlu relevantnosti te tematike ovaj rad nastoji definirati pojam, doseg i primjenu promidžbe demokracije u međunarodnim odnosima, posebice prema postkomunističkim državama u posthladnoratovskom razdoblju, instrumente, ciljeve, strategije, ograničenja, evolutivni okvir promidžbe demokracije, kao i njezinu primjenu na primjeru Europske Unije, posebice u odnosu na bivše komunističke države, gdje je zamijećeno da vanjski akteri ne mogu potaknuti demokratizaciju i dovesti do stabilnih političkih poredaka ukoliko snažni unutarnji politički akteri ne budu "upravljali" elementima državnosti i modernizacije ; Democracy promotion is a crucial objective of the EU foreign policy; at the same time it is also the international dimension of democratization as a fundamental and crucial political outcome of the EU enlargement to Eastern, Central and Southeastern Europe. In light of the relevance of that topic, this paper attempts to define the concept, scope and application of democracy promotion in international relations, especially in the post-communist countries in the post-Cold War period. It will also examine instruments, objectives, strategies, constraints and evaluation framework of democracy promotion, as well as its implication on the case study of the European Union, particularly regarding former communist countries. In these cases it was observed that external actors can encourage democratization and lead to a stable political order if elements ofstatehood and state modernization are not discouragely "managed" by influential internal political actors.

Razvoj državnosti Kurdistana ; Development of the statehood of Kurdistan
Rad se temelji na problematici razvoja državnosti Kurdistana, kao povijesnog i aktualnog političko-geografskog fenomena. Naime, riječ je o relativno velikoj zamišljenoj državi koja bi trebala postati nacionalna država Kurda - najvećeg naroda bez vlastite države na svijetu. Prostorni je obuhvat rada uglavnom vezan uz kompaktno naseljen kurdski etnički prostor u širokom pograničju Iraka, Irana, Sirije i Turske, dok vremenski okvir odgovara razdoblju od kraja Prvog svjetskog rata, kada europske kolonijalne sile kurdski etničkog prostor proizvoljno dijele među novoosnovanim artificijelnim državama, do suvremenoga doba. Relativno kasno konsolidiran, kurdski se nacionalizam pojavio kao svojevrsni odgovor na brutalnu represiju koju su Kurdi kao manjinski narod desetljećima proživljavali u postojećem sustavu država na Bliskom istoku, a nastanak vlastite države postao je ''ideal'' kolektivne svijesti širokih masa. Osnovna je pretpostavka kako razvoju državnosti Kurdistana u realnim i aktualnim uvjetima predstoji eliminiranje velikog broja teško premostivih prepreka. ; The master thesis is based on the issue of development of the statehood of Kurdistan as a historical and current political-geographical phenomenon. Namely, it is about a large, imaginary country that would become a nation-state of Kurdish people, the largest stateless ethnic group in the world. The spatial scope of the thesis is mainly related to the compactly populated Kurdish ethnic space in a large border regions of Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey, while the timeline matches the period since the end of The First World War when European colonial powers shared the Kurdish ethnic space among newly established, artificial states, up until the modern times. Consolidated Kurdish nationalism emerged relatively late as a sort of a response to the brutal repression experienced by Kurds as a minority group for decades in the existing systems of the countries in the Middle East and the creation of an idependent state became an ''ideal'' of the collective consciousness ...

Using Patent Development, Education Policy and Research and Development Expenditure Policy to Increase Technological Competitiveness of Small European Union Member States
The Chinese Belt and Road Initiative will open new trade routes between China and the European Union (EU) and increase competition pressures on smaller EU member states. This article ranks where states like Estonia stand internationally in terms of innovativeness (and consequent competitiveness) by conducting an econometric study of patent development, education policy and research and development (R&D) expenditure policy. The authors claim that small member states such as Estonia should follow the example of countries such as Germany and adopt policies which focus more on increased public spending on R&D and innovation in public universities of science and technology, and raise support for high tech startups with a strong focus on international patenting. Member States must go further and subsidise R&D activities by focusing, inter alia, on filing of foreign patents such as triadic patents. ; The Chinese Belt and Road Initiative will open new trade routes between China and the European Union (EU) and increase competition pressures on smaller EU member states.

PRETPOSTAVKE I RAZVOJ DRUŠTVENO ODGOVORNOGA POSLOVANJA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI ; ASSUMPTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Razvoj društveno odgovornih politika i praksi promatra se ne samo preko prizme konkurentske prednosti, nego kao ključan čimbenik za održivu budućnost tvrtke, ali i društva u cjelini. Promocijom društveno odgovornoga poslovanja tvrtke šalju poruke različitim skupinama kao što su ulagači, potrošači, zaposlenici te tako ulažu u svoju budućnost. Niz dokumenata i deklaracija kao što su UN Global Compact i Strategija održivog razvoja naglašavaju važnost društveno odgovornoga ponašanja. Potrošači su sve svjesniji značenja takva ponašanja tvrtki te, u skladu s tim, imaju i očekivanja odgovornoga ponašanja. Činjenica je da globalno zatopljenje te sve veće iskorištavanje prirodnih resursa potiču primjenu društveno odgovornoga poslovanja (DOP-a), kako na državnim razinama i institucijama pisanjem raznih naputaka, globalnih ciljeva, tako i na korporativnim razinama uključivanjem u strategije kompanija. Održivi razvoj smatra se ključem opstanka društva. U Bosni i Hercegovini društveno odgovorno ponašanje nejasno je i složeno definirano, zarobljeno u raljama složeno ustavno-pravnoga poretka države, fragmentiranosti BiH tržišta, nedovoljne razvijenosti zemlje, složenosti donošenja bilo kakvih odluka te filantropijskoga razmišljanja unutar kompanija. Proces približavanja Bosne i Hercegovine Europskoj uniji odvija se sporo. Godišnji izvještaji, smjernice i politike stalno ukazuju na potrebe bržega razvoja socioekonomskoga okruženja. Cilj je ovoga rada prikazati ekonomske i pravne pretpostavke za razvoj društveno odgovornoga poslovanja u Bosni i Hercegovini. Za cjelovitiju sliku primjene DOP-a u praksi, bit će obrađeni primjeri tvrtki. ; The development of socially responsible politics and praxis is viewed not only through the prism of competitive advantage, but as a key factor for sustainable future of a company, as well as for the society as a whole. By promoting corporate social responsibility, the companies send messages to different groups, such as investors, consumers, employees and in that way they invest in their future. A series of documents and declarations such as UN Global Impact and Strategy of Sustainable Development emphasize the importance of corporate social responsibility. Consumers are becoming more aware of such behaviour of a company, and following that they have the expectations of responsible behaviour. It is evident that global heating and increased exploit of natural resources initiate a change of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) on both the state and institutional levels through adoption of different instructions and global goals, and on corporate levels through inclusion in the companies' strategies. Sustainable development is considered the key to the survival of society. Corporate social behaviour in Bosnia and Herzegovina is unclear and defined in a complex way, trapped in the composite constitutional-legal system of the country, influenced by fragmentation of B&H market, insufficient development of the country, the complexity of adoption of any kind of decisions and philanthropic thinking within companies. The process of accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the EU runs slowly. Annual reports, instructions and politics are constantly indicating the need for quicker development of socio-economic environment. The goal of this work is to present economic and legal assumptions for the development of corporate social responsibility in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the complete picture of the application of CSR in practice, the examples of companies will be elaborated.

Međunarodna razvojna pomoć kao sredstvo postizanja vanjskopolitičkih ciljeva Francuske i Njemačke ; International development aid as an instrument for achieving foreign policy objectives of France and Germany
Rad pručava politike razvojne pomoći kao instrumente moći za postizanje vanjskopolitičkih ciljeva koji koriste u prvom redu državama-inicijatoricama. Rad se fokusira na dvije velike europske zemlje: Francusku Republiku i Saveznu Republiku Njemačke, koje su ujedno gospodarski i politički najmoćnije zemlje članice Europske unije. Promjenom paradigme, iz one u kojoj najveću korist od politika razvojne pomoći imaju slabije razvijene zemlje u paradigmu kako dugoročno najveću korist imaju upravo zemlje koje su inicijatorice istih, rad pokazuje da starije, veće te politički i ekonomski moćnije države članice Europske unije koriste politike razvojne pomoći prema slabije razvijenim članicama, prema zemljama kandidatkinjama te ostalim zemljama, kako bi promovirale vlastiti interes i ostvarile ciljeve svoje vanjske politike. Konačno, pokazujući vezu između politika razvojne pomoći i širenja utjecaja i moći Francuske i Njemačke, rad stvora pretpostavke za novo objašnjenje odnosa moći u međunarodnom okruženju. ; The dissertation examines how the development aid policy, both in the context of national budgets and European Structural and Investment Funds, is being used as an instrument for achieving foreign policy objectives, and it is in this sense primarily beneficial for countriesdonators. Dissertation is focussed on two main European Union member states: the Republic of France and Federal Republic of Germany. By changing the paradigm from the one in which the least developed countries have the most benefit from development aid policy to the paradigm that, on the long-term, greatest benefits precisely have the countries that are the initiators of the same development aid, dissertation argues that older, bigger, politically and economically more powerful European Union member states use development policies assisting less developed members, candidate and other countries to promote their own interests and achieve goals of their foreign policy. In attempt to demonstrate the influence of France and Germany through development ...

NOVI KONCEPTI ZELENOG RAZVOJA I NJIHOVA PRIMJENA U ENERGETICI ; NEW CONCEPTS FOR GREEN DEVELOPMENT AND THEIR APPLICATION IN ENERGY SECTOR
Niz promjena na svjetskoj razini utječe na energetski sektor; posebice elektroenergetski. Ciljevi modernih država mijenjaju se zbog želje građana za boljom kvalitetom okoliša, postizanjem energetske sigurnosti i poštenije cijene energije uz sprečavanje posljedica klimatskih promjena i umanjivanje njihovih efekata. Globalni pomak za postizanje tih ciljeva očituje se povećanjem investicijskih napora, prihvaćanjem klimatskih sporazuma kroz nacionalne politike te razvojem različitih tehnologija (solarni sustavi, vjetroelektrane, električna vozila, sustavi baterija, pametne mreža, blockchain itd.),. Iako pojedini akteri još uvijek nisu prepoznali potencijal zelenog razvoja sve veći broj građana, organizacija i energetskih tvrtki uključuje se aktivno kroz energetsku tranziciju. Inovacije koje nosi zeleni razvoj posebice su zanimljive jer privlače aktere s različitom poslovnom pozadinom. Kako bi energetska tranzicija dobila dovoljan zamah sve više organizacija je uključeno u inovativno dizanje kapitala za projekte zelene energije kao što su platforme za grupno financiranje. Osim toga vidljiv je pomak pri oslobađanju kapitala manjih energetskih tvrtki koje iznajmljuju opremu za energetska postrojenja od strane građana ili koriste druge inovativne poslovne modele kako bi povećale udio obnovljivih izvora energije u energetskom portfelju te uključile građane u poslovanje. Lokalne vlasti sve više prepoznaju i prihvaćaju volju građana za poštenijim energetskim sustavom pri čemu preuzimaju aktivnu ulogu u borbi protiv klimatskih promjena i u energetskoj tranziciji. Razvoj novih koncepata zelenog razvoja omogućuje razvijanje povjerenja između energetskih tvrtki i krajnjih korisnika. ; A number of world-wide changes affect the energy sector; especially electric sector. The goals of modern states are changing due to the increasing desire of citizens to improve the quality of the environment, disere to achieve energy security and will to get a more honest price of energy, as well as preventing the consequences of climate change and mitigate their effects. Global progress towards achieving these goals is reflected in: increased investment efforts, the adoption of climate agreements through national policies and the development of various technologies (solar systems, wind power plants, electric vehicles, battery systems, smart grids, blockchain etc.). Although some actors have not yet recognized the potential of green development, an increasing number of citizens, organizations and energy companies are actively involved and linked through the energy transition. Green development is full of invoative process and it includes actors with different business background. In order for the energy transition to gain momentum, more and more organizations are involved in the alternative funding of green energy projects such as crowdfunding platforms. In addition, there is a visible shift in the capital raising of smaller energy companies that rent equipment from citizens for power plants or use other innovative business models to increase the share of renewable energy sources in their energy portfolio and involve citizens in process. Local authorities increasingly recognize and accept the need for more honest energy system by taking on an active role in combating climate change and energy transition. The development of new concepts of green development enables building of trust between energy companies and end users.

Kritička analiza hrvatskog indeksa razvijenosti: tri tipa razvoja i njihov regionalni položaj ; A Critical Analysis of the Croatian Development Index: Three Types of Development and Their Regional Position
Rad se temelji na analizi hrvatskog Indeksa razvijenosti objavljenog 2013. godine i njegovih pokazatelja na razini lokalne samouprave. U prvome dijelu rada opisuje se konstrukcija indeksa i teorijski i praktični problemi konstrukcije kompozitnih indeksa te njihova uloga u razvojnoj teoriji. U drugome dijelu provedena je analiza komponenata i klasterska analiza indeksa za 556 jedinica lokalne uprave u Republici Hrvatskoj. Na temelju analize identificirano je šest klastera i tri tipa razvijenosti koje indeks iskazuje: nerazvijenost, razvoj jedinice i ljudski razvoj. Pokazalo se da indeks favorizira razvoj jedinice, karakterističan za primorske jedinice, temeljen na visokim prihodima gradova i općina te kretanju stanovništva, nauštrb ljudskog razvoja, koji se iskazuje kroz zaposlenost, osobne prihode i obrazovanje, iako je intencija indeksa obratna. Zaključuje se da bi indeks trebalo modificirati kako bi se bolje naglasila komponenta ljudskog razvoja. ; The paper is based on the analysis of the Croatian Development Index published in 2013 and its indicators on the local self-government level. The first part of the paper describes the index construction, as well as theoretical and practical problems associated with the construction of composite indices and their role in development theory. The second part presents the conducted analysis of the components and cluster analysis of indices for 556 local self-government units in the Republic of Croatia. Based on the analysis, six clusters and three types of development shown by the index have been identified: low development, unit development and human development. It was revealed that the index favours unit development, characteristic for littoral units, based on high incomes of towns and municipalities and population trends, at the expense of human development expressed through employment, personal income and education, although the intention of the index is quite contrary. It has been concluded that the index should be modified to better emphasise the human development component.

Razvoj politike azila EU ; The Development of the EU Asylum Policy
Stupanje na snagu Ugovora iz Lisabona 2009. godine označilo je veliki iskorak u procesu dublje integracije u okviru Europske unije. Potpuno ukidanje kontrole na granicama između država članica, koje su ovu domenu dugo ljubomorno čuvale za sebe, predstavljalo je najveće iskušenje u kompliciranom procesu prenošenja nadležnosti u području politike migracije i azila na nadnacionalnu razinu. Činjenica da je sve veći broj državljana tzv. trećih država, u potrazi za boljim životom ili bježeći od rata, pristizao na teritorij Unije, zavrijedila je pozornost donositelja odluka da počnu pripremati teren za uspostavljanje jedinstvenog sustava reguliranja pitanja migracije i azila. U ovom radu bit će prikazan razvoj politike azila kao jedne od važnih sektorskih politika Europske unije. Cilj je prikazati kako je Europska unija kao sui generis politički sustav, uspijevala znatan dio ovlasti u ovom području prebaciti u domenu rada svojih institucija i s kojom je uspješnošću to postizala. Rad je podijeljen na četiri cjeline. U prvom dijelu analizira se politika azila kao sektorska politika u institucionalnom i zakonodavnom sustavu EU, dok se u drugom dijelu opisuje povijesni razvoj ove politike. Treći dio predstavlja kratki osvrt na europsku migracijsku krizu, dok četvrti dio sadrži zaključna razmatranja autora. ; Coming into force in 2009, the Treaty of Lisbon was a great step in the process of deeper integration within the European Union itself. The complete abolition of control at the borders between the member states, which had up to then been keeping a jealous watch over this domain, represented the biggest temptation during the complicated process of the transfer of authority in the field of migration politics and asylum to supranational level. The fact is that the constantly increasing number of the so-called "third country nationals," arriving to the EU territory in search of a better life or running away from war, proved to be worth of the attention of decision-makers, and gave them impetus to start preparing the ground for establishing a unique regulation system for migration and asylum matters. In this paper, the development of the asylum policy will be described as one of the important sectoral policies of the EU. The aim is to show how the EU as a sui generis political system was able to transfer significant amount of authority in this field into the domain of its institutions' work and how successful it was. The paper is divided into four major units. The first unit is related to asylum policy as a sectoral policy inside the institutional and legislative system of the EU. In the second unit we describe specific historical development of this policy. The third unit is reserved for a brief review of the European migration crisis, and the fourth part contains concluding considerations of the authors.

Profesija i profesionalni razvoj odgojitelja ; Profession and professional development of ECEC teachers
Profesionalni razvoj odgojitelja dio je oblikovanja kurikula ustanove ranoga i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja i u velikoj se mjeri odražava na cjelokupan kontekst u kojemu se kurikul konstruira, oblikuje i živi. Ovaj se rad bavi aktualnim pitanjima razvoja odgojiteljske profesije u okolnostima definiranima stalnim društvenim, političkim i tehnološkim promjenama. U prvome dijelu rada govorit će se o obilježjima zanimanja koje sebe želi artikulirati kao profesiju te specifičnim obilježjima odgojiteljske profesije i profesionalnog identiteta. Sljedeća je važna tema kompetencijski okvir odgojitelja, poglavito važnost cjeloživotnoga učenja kao ključnog elementa profesionalnog razvoja. Uz različite formalne i neformalne modalitete učenja u radu se osobito vrijednima ističu oni oblici stručnog usavršavanja koji se događaju ili bi se trebali događati unutar profesionalne zajednice. ; The professional development of teachers is a part of an institution's early and pre-school education curriculum design and it, to a large extent, affects the entire context in which the curriculum is constructed, formed and in which it lives. This paper addresses the topical issues of development of teacher profession in the circumstances defined by constant social, political and technological changes. The first part of the paper addresses the characteristics of the occupation that wants to articulate itself as a profession and the specific features of ECEC teacher profession and professional identity. The next important topic is the competence framework of teachers, and in particular the significance of the lifelong learning as the key element of professional development. In addition to various formal and informal learning modalities, the paper highlights as especially important the forms of professional development that take place or should take place within the professional community.
