    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ODGOVORNOST DRŽAVE ZA SMANJENJE SIROMAŠTVA DJECE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Autorica u radu analizira uređenje socijalno-ekonomskih prava djeteta normiranih u konvencijskom i domaćem pravu i otvara pitanje ko će ih i kako realizirati kada nadležni državni organi ne stvaraju pretpostavke za materijalnu i socijalnu sigurnost porodice s djecom. Ovo posebno što socio-ekonomske prilike roditelja, njihov radnopravni status, regionalne, statusne i druge okolnosti na strani roditelja djeteta determiniraju položaj djece, mogućnosti realizacije njihovih prava i odgovornost roditelja prema djeci. U tom kontekstu, u radu je naglašena potreba za drugačijim definiranjem mehanizama zaštite djece koji će djelotvornije doprinijeti ostvarivanju socijalnih prava djeteta, smanjenju siromaštva djece u Bosni i Hercegovini i osiguranju zajedničkih ciljeva zemalja EU u pogledu dječjeg siromaštva. Slijedom navedenog, cilj ovog rada je da se ukaže na propuste u zaštiti socijalno-ekonomskih prava djeteta koji su rezultat nedosljedne i nepravilne primjene postojećih zakonskih odredaba, ali i rezultat nepoštivanja prava djeteta garantiranih u međunarodnopravnim dokumentima koje Bosna i Hercegovina potpisuje i ratificira.  Ključne riječi: siromaštvo, socijalno-ekonomska prava djece, odgovornost roditelja, odgovornost države]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effects of Foreign Direct Investments on Transition Economies: The Balkans Case]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The stabilized economic growth in the long-run lies ahead as an obstacle in the long road of development for many transition economies especially for those are in the Balkans. Some of the Balkan countries such as Croatia and Bulgaria have managed to get aboard to the European Union train. But for many others, the train has not arrived yet. Furthermore, many of those non-European Union member transition economies in the Balkans have to deal with an inheritance of a war economy experienced during early 90s. Today non-European Union member transition economies in the Balkans need to increase the capital flows to their countries for economic growth purposes. The literature on foreign direct investments suggest that there may be some positive effects on the economic growth of the host countries depending on many conditions - most commonly on absorptive capacities. However, are they really ready for this? Are the absorptive capacities in those countries at the extent in which enable them to extract benefits from foreign investments? The answer to this question is the key to truly understand the effects of foreign direct investments in those countries. Therefore, in this study, the effects of foreign direct investments on the economic growth of non-European Union member transition economies in the Balkans are investigated from the absorptive capacity perspective. This paper serves a role in comprehending the true dynamics of absorptive capacities measured through a new technique presented in this paper. The results confirm that current foreign direct investment flows to those non-European Union member Balkan countries are not able to work miracles given the absorptive capacities of the host countries.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Novelties in the Field of Alternative Measures and Sanctions in Juvenile Criminal Law in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the last few years there is a process of reforming juvenile criminal law in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main feature of this reform is reflected in the introduction of new legislative model of criminal status of juveniles, according to which the entire criminal status of juvenile perpetrators of crimes (substantive, procedural, enforcement) is being regulated by a single legislative text - Law on Protection and Treatment of Children and Juveniles in criminal Procedure. This law in almost identical form was originally adopted in the  Republic of Srpska (2010), then in the Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2011), and finally in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2014). In this paper author critically analyzes the changes brought about by the present legislative text in the field of alternative measures and sanctions, with emphasis on restorative justice (as the modern concept of social response to crime), which encountered in some of these alternative instruments dealing with juveniles in conflict with law.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Postmodernization and the Crisis of Law: Legal System and Rule of Law in „Brave New World“]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In the past few decades, due to far-reaching social changes caused by globalization and postmodernization, modern law and legal systems have changed significantly. Generally speaking, law has become less general, systematic, and hierarchical since the basic structural features of modern law changed.     New principles of the functioning of the legal system have taken advantage over the previous ones, i.e., instead of a public law model, a private law contracting model has established itself as the dominant way of regulating social relations. Moreover, the boundary between public and private law has become less clear, and new legal concepts, institutes, and disciplines have occurred while those which prevailed throughout the modern legal tradition have changed significantly. Postmodernization of law, among other things, brings a lot of negative “crisis” transformation, among which those worth mentioning are the spread of the neo-liberal law-and-order legal ideology and politics, the degradation of fundamental principles of the rule of law, changes in substantive and procedural criminal law for the sake of fast, efficient, and economic prosecution of criminal suspects, the breakdown of the (law of) welfare state (the latter being transformed into penal state), privatization of justice (e.g. judicial services), excessive juridization of social relations, and the transformation of legal subjectivity. In many important aspects, the postmodern transformations have taken contemporary law and legal systems back to the times of the early classical liberal legal system of the 18th and early 19th centuries.     The author argues that, in the process of their integration to European Union and the legal reform according to the European standards, the states should take into account the broader historical context of this process: the social and legal postmodernization which gave the law and legal system a new postmodern identity, on one hand, and the crisis of the concept of the rule of law, on the other.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Significant efforts were taken in BiH in the adoption of legislation guarantying the rule of law and human rights. In the framework of this activity the Law on Freedom of Access to Information and the Law on Personal Data Protection were adopted. Unfortunately, practice in some cases shows present of conflict in implementation of those two laws. The most recent example is the case in which the Personal Data Protection Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina conducted the administrative proceedings against the Prosecutor’s Office and the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina for handling of personal data of accused and convicted persons at their official web-sites. As a result of these proceedings, The Personal Data Protection Agency adopted a decision warning the Prosecutor’s Office and the Court of BiH to refrain from such illegal complainant’s data handling and asking them to block personal data of all the persons comprised in the indictments and court decisions posted on its official web-site. This paper analyzes the consequences of the action of the Agency for Protection of Personal Data from perspective of international human rights standards and international jurisprudence and its impact on the justice, rule of law and human rights in the judicial sector.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Autorica u radu, nakon što ukazuju na značaj kvalitetne međunarodne pravosudne suradnje, analizira akte na snazi u Bosni i Hercegovini koji su nastali kao rezultat te suradnje, a  kojima je uređena oblast ostvarivanja izdržavanja u prekograničnim predmetima. Radi se o Njujorškoj konvenciji o ostvarivanju alimentacijskih zahtjeva u inostranstvu iz 1956. godine i Haškoj konvencija o međunarodnom ostvarivanju izdržavanja djece i ostalih oblika porodičnog izdržavanja iz 2007. godine. Pravilna primjena navedenih konvencija doprinosi efikasnijem ispunjenju obaveze izdržavanja, a upravo ova obaveza ima za cilj osigurati sredstva za život djeteta te je možemo promatrati kao jednu od mjera za suzbijanje siromaštva djece. Posebno se skreće pažnja na potrebu pristupanja i drugim konvencijama, posebice Haškom protokolu o pravu mjerodavnom za izdržavanje iz 2007. godine, ali i na potencijal Uredbe Vijeća (EZ) br. 664/2009 koja regulira postupak za pregovaranje i zaključivanje sporazuma između država članica i trećih država u pitanjima međunarodne nadležnosti, priznanja i izvršenja odluka u bračnoj materiji, materiji roditeljske odgovornosti, materiji izdržavanja, kao i mjerodavno pravo za obavezu izdržavanja, a koji je do sada ostao neprepoznat i nezapažen od strane domaćeg zakonodavca.   Ključne riječi: prekogranično izdržavanje djece, Njujorška konvencija iz 1956, Haška konvencija iz 2007.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Izdržavanje djeteta predstavlja svakodnevno, kontinurano zadovoljenje osnovnih životnih, obrazovnih i drugih potreba djeteta. Neizvršenje ili nepotpuno izvršenje obaveze izdržavanja dovodi do prekida ovog kontinuiteta zbog čega se zaštita ugroženog ili povrijeđenog prava djeteta vrlo često ostvaruje u alimentacionom postupku, koji može potrajati mjesecima, pa čak i godinama. Kako bi se barem djelomično ublažile posljedice neizvršenja ili nepotpunog izvršenja obaveze izdržavanja djeteta, zakonodavac je normirao mogućnost određivanja mjera osiguranja. Autorica smatra za shodno da, analizirajući neka od najrelevantnijih pitanja, aktuelizira ovaj institut i posebno naglasi da sudske mjere osiguranja predstavljaju izuzetno važno pravno sredstvo koje stoji na raspolaganju sudu u alimentacionim postupcima, pogotovo u svjetlu njegovog ovlaštenja da ex officio odredi ove mjere.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[What Determines the Firm’s Net Trade Credit? Evidence from Macedonian Listed Firms]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: This paper analyses the net trade credit and its determinants for a sample of 25 non-financial firms for the period 2011-2013. The sample is derived from the Macedonian Stock Exchange. The net trade credit is the dependent variable. The dependent variable is defined as the difference between trade receivables and liabilities, and then this difference is divided by total assets. The maturity structure of assets, profitability, inventory investment, cash to assets ratio, long-term financing, total debt financing, and converting sales into cash are the independent variables.  This study used the Shapiro-Wilk W test for normality, Kernel density estimation, Variance Inflation Factor for multicollinearity, and the model specification link test for single-equation models. The obtained results show that more profitable firms and with higher current assets and cash ratio have positive net trade credits. The net trade credit is significantly negatively associated with inventory to total assets ratio and net cash flows from operating activities to sales. On the other hand, the net trade credit is significantly positively associated with current assets to total assets ratio and profitability.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The role of concept analysis in studying English (on the basis of American political discourse)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Once a person sets a goal of studying the culture of some country or even of teaching it to foreign students in classrooms, he/she cannot manage without taking into account its reflection in the languages. it is the language that fixes all peculiarities of people’s world perception and becomes the storage of knowledge about it. It is in the light of such perception that a human being sees the world. Thus, one can speak about a linguistic world view. The linguistic world view is based on the set of certain concepts. A concept is a great deal broader than the lexical meaning of a word as it also includes an evaluative component. Cultures may share the same concepts or possess their own uniqueness. The latter are often referred to as national-specific concepts. These are the concepts that render the peculiarities of nation&#039;s mentality, world view and evaluation of the material world. In order to understand each other people must share the set of concepts and the same background information. This is often referred to as “common knowledge” [1.P.174-175]. At present considerable attention is drawn to discourse, especially its political variety. The analysis of national-specific concepts and the set of linguistic means which express them in political discourse seem to be of special interest in the discussion of typical cultural characteristics as political sphere is one of the constituent parts of any national culture. Thus, political discourse contributes to the understanding of the ways values have been developed. The importance of linguistic analysis of political discourse as part of culture teaching can be illustrated using materials from the African American political discourse, in which such concepts as ‘freedom’, ‘power’, ‘equality’ and ‘African American dream’ come to the fore.    Keywords: discourse, culture, teaching, worldview, concept, African American dream]]></dcterms:abstract>
