Prezentirani su i analizirani rezultati empirijskog istraživanja o razvoju kombinirane socijalne politike u Hrvatskoj. Kombinirana socijalna politika nov je sustav socijalne politike u kojem vlada, lokalne vlasti, organizacije civilnog društva, trgovačka društva (profitni sektor), obitelj (neformalni sektor) te drugi dionici djeluju na mjestu prijašnjeg monopolističkog položaja države. U takvom sustavu vlast i javna uprava prepoznaju organizacije civilnog društva i druge dionike kao partnere te s njima surađuju u procesu pripreme i donošenja odluka te provedbe socijalnih programa. Trendovi razvoja kombiniranih socijalnih politika ovise o nasljeđu i tipovima socijalnih režima. Razvoj kombinirane socijalne politike aktualan je i u tranzicijskim zemljama i uvelike je obilježen nasljeđem i utjecajem procesa pridruživanja Europskoj uniji. Prijašnja empirijska istraživanja kombinirane socijalne politike u Hrvatskoj upozorila su na probleme razumijevanja tog koncepta i na skromne domete njegova razvoja. U ovom istraživanju posebno je analizirana uloga civilnog društva i javne uprave kao ključnih dionika razvoja kombinirane socijalne politike. Rezultati istraživanja govore da se u Hrvatskoj utire put razvoju kombinirane socijalne politike te da postoje primjeri koji se mogu koristiti kao dobra praksa. ; The paper is a result of an empirical, action-oriented research about the development of combined social policy in Croatia. Combined social policy is a new system of social policy in which the government, local authorities, civil society organisations, the profit sector, family (the informal sector), and other participants take action instead of the previously monopolistic state. In such a system, government and public administration recognise civil society organisations and other participants as partners and cooperate with them in drafting and ecisionmaking processes and in implementation of social programmes. Recent trends in the development of combined social policy in developed countries reflect the necessity of mobilising all available resources in order to meet the ever increasing and different social needs. The trends of development of combined social policies depend on the heritage and the types of social regimes. The development of combined social policy is also topical in the countries in transition, and is greatly influenced by inherited issues and the EU accession process. Previous empirical research of combined social policy in Croatia warned about the problems of understanding the concept and of modest degrees of its development. The research particularly analyses the role of civil society and public administration as key partakers in the development of combined social policy. Research results have shown that development paths for combined social policy in Croatia are being made and that there are examples of good practice. The analysed partakers are bound by mutual cooperation, they are informed about the concept of combined social policy and possess relevant knowledge and ideas about its development. Civil society organisations are more active than public administration in promoting the idea and amending the programmes of combined social policy. National policy and institutional frameworks are important limitations to the modernisation of social policy. Final remarks contain a warning about the necessity of further research that should include a wider circle of participants.

Društvo Hrvatski sokol u Križevcima osnovano je krajem 1904. godine kao jedno od brojnih sokolskih društava na području današnje Hrvatske. Do početka Prvoga svjetskog rata razvilo je značajnu aktivnost na sportskom i prosvjetnom planu: organiziralo je sletove, predavanja i tečajeve za opismenjavanje. Tijekom Prvoga svjetskog rata Društvu je zabranjen rad, no odmah po njegovu završetku ponovno se aktiviralo. Kao dio političkih i državnih promjena koje su nastupile završetkom Prvoga svjetskog rata, Hrvatski sokol u Križevcima je tri godine, točnije od 1919. do 1922., djelovao u sklopu Sokolskog saveza Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca, odnosno u sklopu Jugoslavenskog sokolskog saveza. Nakon toga je ponovno postao dijelom Hrvatskog sokolskog saveza. Nastavljajući prijeratnu tradiciju, križevački sokolaši isticali su se u sportu, ali i kulturi, obrazovanju te glazbi. Vrhunac aktivnosti odvijao se tijekom 1920-ih godina, kada je Društvo imalo više od 300 članova. Nakon toga je došlo do pada broja članova, no Društvo je usprkos tome bilo aktivno. Primjerice, 1929. godine obilježilo je 25. godišnjicu postojanja velikim sletom Župe Preradović, kojoj je pripadalo od osnivanja. Hrvatski sokol u Križevcima s radom je prestao krajem 1929. godine, kada su se uslijed političkih promjena u Kraljevini Jugoslaviji počela ukidati sokolska društva koja su nosila hrvatsko ime. ; The Croatian Falcon Society in Križevci was founded at the end of 1904 as one of the many falcon societies in the territory of today's Croatia. By the outbreak of World War I, the Society had developed substantial activities in sports and education: it organised public group exercises, lectures, and literacy courses. It was banned during World War I, but immediately upon its conclusion, the Society was restored. As part of the political and state changes that took place upon the conclusion of World War I, the Croatian Falcon Society in Križevci operated within the Falcon Federation of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, i.e. within the Yugoslavian Falcon Federation, for three years, specifically from 1919 to 1922. Afterwards, the Society once again became a part of the Croatian Falcon Federation. Continuing the pre-war tradition, the Falcons from Križevci stood out in sports, but also in culture, education, and music. The peak of their operations transpired during the 1920s when the Society counted more than 300 members. The number later dropped, but the Society was nonetheless active. For example, in 1929, its 25th anniversary was marked by a public group exercise organised by the Preradović Parish, to which it belonged since the founding. The Croatian Falcon Society in Križevci ceased to operate at the end of 1929, when, due to political changes in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, falcon societies bearing the Croatian name began to be abolished.

Od Teorije pravednosti do Prava narodâ liberalizam Johna Rawlsa razvija se od individualizma do jednog specifičnog oblika tzv. »komunitarističkog liberalizma«. U Teoriji Rawls će govoriti o pojedincu i njegovoj dužnosti izbjegavanja rata (građanskom neposlušnošću) dok će u Pravu narodâ govoriti o društvu i dužnosti dobro uređenih naroda na pokretanje rata ako su ugrožena ljudska prava. Prva je perspektiva individualna i miroljubiva, dok je druga društvena i ne čini se baš pacifističkom. Prva kao da je protumačena iz perspektive običnog građanina liberalne ustavne demokracije, dok je druga više nalik tumačenju nekoga tko ima moć. U tom razvoju Rawlsova liberalizma intrigira potencijalni sukob između pojedinca i društva što je osobito uočljivo u njegovu shvaćanju odbijanja sudjelovanja ili opravdanja sudjelovanja u ratu. ; From the Theory of Justice to the Law of Peoples liberalism of John Rawls develops from individualism to one specific form of the so¬called "Communitarian liberalism". In the Theory Rawls discussed the individual and his duty to avoid war (civil disobedience), while in the Law of Peoples he discussed society and the duties of well¬organized Nations to launch war if human rights are endangered. The first perspective is individualistic and peaceful, while the other is more social and does not seem too pacifist. The first seems interpreted from the perspective of an ordinary citizen of liberal constitutional democracy, while the other is more like an interpretation from someone who holds the power. In that development of Rawls' liberalism, what is intriguing is the potential conflict between individuals and society, which is particularly evident in his understanding of refusal to participate or justification to participate in war.

Nakon uvoda autor obrađuje četiri teme: 1. osnutak, svrha i oblik pastoralno- informativnoga lista Crkva na kamenu, 2. četiri dosadašnja razdoblja lista Crkva na kamenu (komunističko razdoblje, razdoblje demokratskih izbora, Domovinskoga rata te poraća), 3. sadržajna strana Crkve na kamenu i 4. komunikacijski stav prema čitateljima i stav čitatelja prema Crkvi na kamenu. U zaključku se ističe kako je ovaj list od 1980. godine, kada ga je osnovao mostarsko-duvanjski biskup i apostolski upravitelj trebinjsko-mrkanski mons. Pavao Žanić, pa do sada odigrao veliku vjersku, povijesnu i kulturološku ulogu u Crkvi i društvu te da mu je trajna zadaća prinos boljitku života ljudi u društvenim i kršćanskim zajednicama na temelju Dekaloga, evanđeoskih i crkvenih zasada. ; After the introductory part the author analyzes four topics: 1. establishment, purpose and form of pastoral-informative newspaper Crkva na kamenu (Church on the rock), 2. four past periods of the newspaper Crkva na kamenu (communistic period, period of democratic elections, Croatian War of Independence and after-war period), 3. content side of the newspaper, 4. communication attitude to readers and readers' attitude to Crkva na kamenu. The conclusion points out that this newspaper since 1980, when it was founded by the bishop of Mostar-Duvno and Apostolic Administrator of Trebinje-Mrkan Mons. Pavao Žanić, till now has played a great religious, historical and cultural role in the Church and society and that its permanent task is contributing to the benefit of people in social and Christian communities on the basis of Decalogue, evangelical and Church foundations.

Demokracija označava pluralistički oblik upravljanja u kojemu se odluke donose izravnim ili neizravnim putem, većinom glasova. Članak se bavi analizom suodnosa demokratičnosti društva i stupnja demokratičnosti u upravljanju lokalnom baptističkom crkvom Saveza baptističkih crkava u Republici Hrvatskoj, koja je strukturno temeljena na kongregacijskome modelu upravljanja. ; Democracy is a pluralist form of government where the decisions are made directly or indirectly through the majority of votes. This article deals with analyzing the correlation between the level of democracy in society and the level of democracy in managing local Baptist churches in the Baptist Union in Croatia, which is structurally based on a congregational model of management.

This article is a part of an extensive research project called the "CIVICUS index of Croatia's civic society." The sample included the contents from six dailies. The civic society is most often mentioned in the context of news & brief reports. The analyzed dailies cover the activities of the civic society mostly if they are linked to the events they organize. The organizations of the civic society are predominantly shown in positive light. Negative coverage is almost marginal. Charity events are covered by these dailies, but the coverage is more extensive if the events are linked with marketing. The role of the dailies in promoting the civic society's organizations as the key actors in the anticorruption campaign & in raising the awareness of family violence is particularly significant. The value foundation of the reported information may be a food for thought & inspire action. The civic society in Croatia has been trying to keep the state accountable & helping the public to gain a more revealing insight into the major issues & questions. Tables, Graphs, References.

The article presents results of a study of the structure of the civil society in Croatia, analyzed by means of the following indicators: the number of the organizations of the civil society; membership in these organizations; the range of these organizations; the composition of the civil society; & the resources of the civil society. In the 1990s in Croatia, the number of the civil society organizations increased greatly. They have relatively small memberships; also, in the 1990s, the active memberships shrank. Civil society organizations can be found primarily in big cities. Insufficient networking & a certain dose of political divisions of these organizations diminish their developmental potential. Foreign organizations & their financial support played a major part in profiling the structure of the civil society. The relatively modest human resources reduce the partnership position of these organizations. The structure of these organizations can be compared to other transitional countries. The war & the humanitarian crisis particularly affected the profiling of the structure of the civil society in Croatia. 2 Tables, 46 References. Adapted from the source document.

Contemporary states are undergoing a process of rapid transformation that encumbers their functioning & sustains their state of crisis. Their external sovereignty is undoubtedly on the wane, in relation to both global economic actors & transnational & supranational political structures. Internally, the hierarchical functioning of government has been called into question. Although the state's share in the social product is constantly increasing, so are the demands for the state's support & regulation in various areas, resulting in a permanent fiscal crisis of the state. The author claims that the contemporary metamorphoses of the state & the prospects for its development can be understood solely by analyzing the changes in contemporary society. The industrial society, even the "service society" (Dahrendorf), is being transformed into an information & communication society, in which the key processes are the production & distribution of knowledge, while the central power resources are mechanisms of the monopolization of knowledge. The information & communication media play the central role in social & political processes. The new increase of social inequality has intensified the tendency of social desolidarization. The new level of social dynamics, mobility, complexity, & contingency requires a new type of state. The author calls it the "cooperative state" -- the state that provides for the production of essential collective goods in the cooperative process of negotiation & bargaining, in which a plethora of social actors take part. 25 References.

The author claims that in Hegel's Philosophy of Law there are two convergent, overlapping, & concurrent tendencies. The first asserts that the state is such a condition of society in which the universal will of citizens is paramount. It is the sole source of positive law, since only the state warrants the laws that do not do injustice to its subjects. In this theory, the state is considered an ideal universal entity, adjusted to the speculative shifts of auto-reflection. The second claims that as the rational state, the state is a union of different interests, providing good life for its citizens. The principle of their union is a particular benefit; not self-determination as the absolute principle but mutual compromise, mutual achievement & relatively equal contribution that creates interdependence. These two tendencies have entirely defined the understanding of the state in the German cultural space: at one time it is an ideal association among reflective individuals, & at other an apparatus of power. These two abstract solutions may only be overcome via a forceful democratic mediation of the civil society. Adapted from the source document.
