RESEARCH ISSUES IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION FIELD IN TIMES OF CHALLENGED GLOBALISATION
In: Teorija in praksa, S. 443-463
The article examines the deliberation of
higher education (HE) scholars and practitioners on
research issues in the HE field, which has taken into
account the complexity of current trends of deglobalisation and changing characteristics of globalisation.
More precisely, the article offers a systematic review of
the ideas developed by focus group participants (FGPs)
from different parts of the world while debating internationalisation, globalisation and Europeanisation
with respect to the field of HE. These FGPs agreed that:
1) theoretical definitions used by academics and practitioners are currently socially constructed in a biased
way (in favour of the Anglo-North American point of
view); 2) academic research (notably conceptual definitions) must better take into account the issues contextually and dynamically across time and space; and
3) that HE research is in the stage when a more theoretically refined and a methodologically stronger new
global wave of empirical research is required for further
advancement of theorising and practitioners' work.

Evropska razvojna kohezijska politika – kompetenčni centri in raziskovalno razvojne dejavnosti ; European Development Cohesion Policy – Slovenian Competitive Centers And Research Development Activities
V želji po globalnemu in gospodarskem napredku ter iskanju rešitev za okoljske izzive je Evropska unija ustanovila skupno Evropsko kohezijsko politiko, ki izvršuje ukrepe in instrumente na nacionalni ravni. Ena izmed posledic skupne Evropske kohezijske politike v Sloveniji so posebni centri, ki omogočajo stičišče različnih organizacij, kjer se nove ideje prenašajo v gospodarski trg. Gre za inovacije predvsem na področju mobilnosti, trajnostnega okolja, tehnologije, kemije, farmacije. Takšne inovacije prinašajo večji izkoristek materialov, storitev in boljše zdravje, z velikim poudarkom na nizkoogljično družbo. S takšnimi instrumenti se poveča dodana vrednost finančnega vlaganja v takšne centre, hkrati pa spodbuja sodelovanje gospodarske, akademske in raziskovalno razvojne sfere. Namen naloge, da z analizo Javnega razpisa za sofinanciranje vzpostavitve in delovanja kompetenčnih centrov za razvoj kadrov v dveh izvedenih obdobjih dokažemo, kako pomembno je financiranje takšnih instrumentov. Ustvarjajo visoko stimulativno okolje za iskanje rešitev in odpravljanja izzivov, s takšnim načinom dela pa ljudje pridobijo reference, kompetence, višajo konkurenčnost svoje države in pridobijo izkušnje s širšim razmišljanjem in sodelovanjem. ; In pursuit of global and economic progress or finding solutions to environmental challenges, the European Union has set up a common European cohesion policy that implements measures and instruments at national levels. One of the consequences of the common European cohesion policy in Slovenia are special centers, which enable the junction of various organizations, where new ideas are transferred to the economic markets. These are innovations mainly in the field of mobility, sustainable environment, technology, chemistry and pharmacy. Such innovations bring greater use of materials, services and better health services, with a strong emphasis on low–carbon society. Such instruments increase the added value of financial investment in such centers, while encouraging the participation of economic, academic and research development spheres. The purpose of the task is to demonstrate the importance of financing such instruments by analyzing the Public Tender for Co–financing the Establishment and Operation of Competence Centers for Personnel Development in two implemented periods. They create a highly stimulating environment for finding solutions and tackling the challenges, and with this way of working people acquire references, competences, increase the competitiveness of their country and gain experience with wider thinking and cooperation.

Analiza uspešnosti Slovenije v programih Evropske unije za raziskave in razvoj ; Performance analysis of Slovenia in EU framework programmes for research and development
In: [Maribor
Evropska unija je postavila raziskave in inovacije v središče svojih aktivnosti ter jih finančno podprla z okvirnimi programi za raziskave in razvoj. Trenutni okvirni program, Obzorje 2020, je z 80 milijardami EUR v sedemletnem proračunskem obdobju največji javno financiran raziskovalni program na svetu. Cilj programa je ustvarjanje učinkovitega evropskega raziskovalnega prostora ter s tem povečevanje konkurenčnosti evropskega gospodarstva. V magistrskem delu bomo podrobneje analizirali uspešnost slovenskih udeležencev v okvirnih programih EU, motive za sodelovanje v okvirnih programih ter preverjali vpliv javnih in zasebnih naložb v raziskave in razvoj, kamor sodijo tudi sredstva iz okvirnih programov EU, na gospodarsko rast in na inovativnost držav članic EU. Ugotavljali bomo tudi, ali so srednje in vzhodnoevropske države, ki imajo nižji raziskovalni potencial v primerjavi z zahodnoevropskimi manj uspešne pri pridobivanju sredstev iz okvirnih programov EU. Ob koncu bomo preverili tudi kanale lobiranja v Obzorju 2020 ter podali priporočila za bolj uspešno črpanje sredstev iz programov EU. ; European Union has put research and innovation at the center of its activities and has financially supported is with framework programmes for research and development. With the budget of 80 billion EUR in a seven year period, the current framework programme Horizon 2020 is the biggest publicly funded research programme in the world. The aim of the programme is to create effective European Research Area and strengthen the competitiveness of Europe in the world. The paper will analyze the succsess of Slovenian participants in the EU framework programmes, motives for participation and the effect of public and private investments in the research and development on the economic growth and innovation in EU Member States. We will also show that Central and Eastern European countries are less successful in EU framework programmes due to their lower research potential. At the end we will describe channels for lobbying for the EU framework programmes and provide recommendations for better participation in the EU framework programmes.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND COVID-19 MANAGEMENT IN A LOCAL CONTEXT: EMPIRICAL RESEARCH ON THE VIEWS OF CITIZENS, TOWN COUNCILLORS, AND OFFICIALS IN TUSCANY
In: Družboslovne razprave, S. 15-36
ISSN: 1581-968X
This study is focused on a small village in Tuscany and explores how citizens
evaluate the actions and communication strategies applied by the local government during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study adopted a combination of
qualitative and quantitative methods: semi-structured interviews with local administrators, and a survey with a representative sample of the local population.
The findings show a limitedly articulated yet meaningful relationship between
the central administration and the local one, a positive evaluation by citizens
of the local government's management of the emergency and, generally, good
social cohesion, albeit not fully supported by the engagement of civic cultures
that were heavily restricted by the socially restrictive measures imposed during
the pandemic.
