The uplift of a governance paradigm opened the door for different non-formal actors to join the policy-making process. This proliferation of actors posed some new questions about the relationship ...between them. One of the aspects of this relationship is the power of actors. The paper seeks to contribute to public policy literature in a way to explore if a policy formulation stage of a decision-making process can be used as an arena for assessing the power of the aforementioned actors. The argument this paper suggests is that policy formulation as a stage where the confrontation of actors is most visible and prominent is in fact an appropriate place for studying actors’ dynamics and should be taken into consideration when discussing the power of policy actors.
Cilj rada je doprinijeti razvoju empirijske teorije javnih politika u pitanjima kvalitete dizajna javnih politika. Rad je fokusiran na ciljeve javnih politika koji su središnja sastavnica dizajna ...svakog resora. Analitički okvir utemeljen je na razlikovanju sedam tehničkih tipova ciljeva javnih politika: opći ciljevi, ciljevi usmjereni na način ostvarenja, na odgovornog aktera, na korisnika, konkretno usmjereni ciljevi, polu-strukturirani te strukturirani ciljevi. Prikupljanje i analiza podataka vođeni su pravilima kvalitativne analize sadržaja, a ciljevi se istražuju na temelju 11 strateških dokumenata hrvatske vlasti. U istraživanim politikama dominiraju ciljevi s općenitim svrhama, te manjim brojem strukturnih elemenata što pokazuje nižu razinu operacionalizacije ciljeva, lošiju kvalitetu pripreme za provedbu i povezivanje s instrumentima odnosno manju učinkovitost dizajna hrvatskih javnih politika. Skupine analiziranih politika se razlikuju te su strategije namijenjene ciljanim skupinama bolje operacionalizirane nego one temeljnih područja i specifičnih društvenih problema. Analiza tehničkih tipova ciljeva pokazuje kako su omjeri među učestalosti njihova pojavljivanja dobar indikator ukupne učinkovitosti dizajna javnih politika.
The goal of the paper is to contribute to the development of the empirical theory of public policies in matters of the quality of public policy design. The paper is focused on the goals of public policies which are the central component of the design of each policy area. The analytical framework is based on the distinction of seven technical types of public policy goals: general goals, goals focused on the way of realization, on the responsible actor, on the user, concretely focused goals, semi-structured and structured goals. The collection and analysis of data are guided by the rules of qualitative content analysis, and the objectives are investigated using 11 strategic documents of the Croatian government. In the examined policies, goals with general purposes dominate, as well as those with a smaller number of structural elements, which shows a lower level of operationalization of goals, poorer quality of preparation for implementation and connection with instruments, and a lower effectiveness of the design of Croatian public policies. The groups of analyzed policies differ, and the strategies intended for the target groups are better operationalized than those of the fundamental areas and specific social problems. The analysis of technical types of goals shows that the ratios between the frequency of their occurrence are a good indicator of the overall efficiency of public policy design.
Cilj ovog rada je kontekstualizirati hrvatske studente kao subjekte društvene
i političke realnosti, uzimajući pritom u obzir kompleksnost povijesno-
-društvenih uvjeta, ali i specifičnosti ...analizirane populacije. Prvi dio rada
donosi kratki povijesni presjek studentskih kretanja uokvirenih u hipotezu o
studentima kao društvenoj avangardi. Drugi se dio odnosi na analizu današnjih
studenata u Hrvatskoj na temelju odrednica relevantnih za njihov (aktivni)
angažman u društvu i politici, dok se u zaključnom dijelu ispituje koliko
hrvatski studenti pripadaju kategoriji intelektualaca.
Languages are in a constant need of self-enriching while leaving to oblivion their inherited vocabulary used to describe concepts that its speakers may consider obsolete. One of the sources for the ...new terms are the corporate names ascribed to new products and methods by individuals who are part of the industry and whose job is to add new names to new concepts that draw inspiration from personal names, abbreviations, acronyms and imagination of the name givers. Only the umbrella term is related to particular languages and has a natural etymology while further divisions are artificial and intended. Such a process is gradually leading towards an eventual replacement of natural inherited vocabulary with a corporate artificial one thus breaking ties with the linguistic heritage.
In terms of whether language should be interfered with or treated as an object of study, linguistics can be compared to astronomy and medicine. Linguistics is something for everyone. Linguistic ...astronomers call themselves descriptivists, and linguistic medics are called prescriptivists by descriptivists and accused of meddling in language and forcing purism, perhaps not taking into account the fact that purism has always existed and exists in peoples who cling to their identity and culture.
Esperanto and Modern Hebrew have quite opposite origins and purposes: the former is a constructed language and the latter is reconstructed. Constructed languages are a mere linguistic exercise that ...can become a tool of uniformity when combined with ideology. On the other hand reconstructed languages such as Hebrew offer hope that other such instances can be brought back to life and that wrongs that made them extinct can be undone. Language nests have proven to be a successful method in language revival policies.
This paper debates the crisis of democracy and the importance of civilsociety in bringing forth new, participatory models of democracy. This isdemonstrated in the case of Croatia following the ...results of the localelections in the spring of 2013 when five newly founded political parties,which shared strong ties to civil society, saw success. Building on theexisting literature on the crisis of democracy, the authors argue that thelow level of trust in political parties is not sufficient for explaining thisphenomenon. Seeking to provide a more comprehensive solution, theauthors introduce the factor of motivation by analysing the failures ofCSOs in establishing a dialogue with the government, as well as thestructural features of CSOs, thereby establishing a link between themacro and micro level of analysis. The paper indicates similarities withother post-socialist countries, allowing for speculation about possiblesimilarities between them.
