The Significance of the Church’s Role in Domestic Violence Cases Among Roma Women
The article examines the support structures available to Roma women faced with domestic violence, focusing on the role of the church as a sanctuary. The research includes a case study of the Roma community in Međimurje County, Croatia, which is characterized by (Catholic) religious homogenization. Analysis reveals that Roma women who fear the perpetrator prefer confidentiality, anticipate disbelief, or feel they are themselves to blame are more l…
Sociology and Post-Socialist Transformations in Eastern Europe
The Circular Economy
The Circular Economy is one of the most prominent cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral concepts to emerge in recent decades. It has permeated academia, policymaking, business, NGOs, and the general public, leading to numerous applications of the concept, some of which only partially overlap. In this article, we review recent debates and research trends in the Circular Economy, outlining the ten most common groups of its conceptualizations using …
How media pluralism navigates ideological orientations
Introduction Media and its reporting shape public opinion, and doing this can obtain an indirect and significant influence on the course and results of the political process.

Methods The authors use the Janis-Fadner coefficient of imbalance to analyze a total of 1434 media texts published in 10 different Slovenian media outlets. The texts were published between March a…

Strategic Competence Model for Understanding Smart Territorial Development
In this paper, the authors propose a multi-level model for the strategic competence of territorial units, which can help explain why some territorial units manage to respond appropriately to global challenges and thrive while others fail. Strategic competence is defined by two components: substantive knowledge and strategic connections. This is the foundation for the development of four ideal types of strategic competences at the level of territo…
Modeling and Evaluation of the Possibilities of Forming a Regional Industrial Symbiosis Networks
Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a term used to describe a network of diverse organizations that make use of different byproducts to improve their ability to achieve common goals, improve environmental conditions, and/or improve business and technical processes. In this paper, we propose a model for evaluation of the possibilities of the establishment of such IS on a regional level. This paper studied a benchmark of seven IS examples, which are used …
Social Topography for Sustainable Innovation Policy
Building upon social fields theory, the authors analyze the impact of the three social forces – institutions, social networks and cognitive frames – on the social topography of regional innovation systems. Unlike previous studies, which focused on individual social force, the authors’ fuzzy-set comparative analysis of fifteen diverse regions from four continents reveals nuanced impact of individual forces and shows that a well-functioning regiona…
Information Society and its Manifestations
Regionalni sustavi inovacija kao društvena polja
The world today is subject to ambiguous, complex and mutually reinforcing global trends. The same could be said for the adaptations of social settings to these global trends. As a consequence, societies attempt to develop various increasingly sophisticated and complex systems of innovations, with all its material, social and cognitive consequences. In this article we consider systems of innovations as special type of social fields influenced by t…
Towards the strategies of modern societies
While several sociological theories have traditionally dealt with rational action by human actors, little attention has been devoted to the possibilities for rational steering of the entire subsystems of functionally differentiated modern societies in the context of their increasing complexity. Although rational intentional action is clearly limited at the macro-level by the complexity emphasized by Luhmann's social systems theory, strategies are…
A Grand Theory and a Small Social Scientific Community
Social Capital
The aim of this article is not only to provide an overview of the state of recent discussion about the concept of social capital, it is also an attempt at critical reflection on theoretical and empirical research efforts. The question is whether the concept of social capital is a fashionable (and short-lived) term proposed as a cure-all for the maladies affecting contemporary communities, organizations and societies as a whole or whether it has m…
Socijalna situacija i socijalne reforme u Sloveniji
Slovenski je tranzicijski put do sada bio unekoliko drukciji nego u vecini ostalih postsocijalistickih zemalja u Europi. Uzrok tome leži u blažem diskontinuitetu s prosloscu. Socijalna politika je vjerojatno najocitiji primjer tome. Premda nisu samo cisti nastavak, sadasnji trendovi u Sloveniji cvrsto su ukorijenjeni u logiku proteklog razvojnog sustava. Brza privatizacija te rapidno smanjivanje socijalne potrosnje nisu bili realisticna politicka…
