Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje dubinu i sveobuhvatnosti reformskih i investicijskim mjera u Nacionalnom planu oporavka i otpornosti (NRRP) Hrvatske, koristeći kategorijalni aparat Cotte i Domorenoka (2022). Studija ima za cilj razumjeti utjecaj okvira Next Generation EU (NGEU) Europske unije na hrvatske socijalne politike. Korištenjem kvalitativne analize sadržaja, istraživanje ispituje reforme u komponentama C3 i C4 NRRP-a. Analiza kategorizira ove reforme u tri scenarija: ovisnost o prijeđenom putu, slojevanje politika i zamjena. Nalazi pokazuju da je pola reformi uključivalo slojevanje politike, integrirajući nove politike unutar postojećih struktura kako bi se adresirala i neposredna i sustavna pitanja. Provedba NRRP-a, pod utjecajem uvjetovanosti EU, potaknula je umjerene reforme, ali je pokazala ograničenja u rješavanju duboko ukorijenjenih sustavnih problema. Studija zaključuje da europski proces putem financijskih poticaja može potaknuti promjene u politici, pri čemu hrvatski slučaj ilustrira transformativni potencijal NGEU plana unutar šireg okvira EU.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the policy reforms in Croatia's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), aligning them with predefined scenarios by Cotta and Domorenok (2022). The study aims to understand the impact of the EU's Next Generation EU (NGEU) framework on Croatian social policies. Using qualitative content analysis, the research examines the reforms in Components C3 and C4 of the NRRP. The analysis categorizes these reforms under three scenarios: path dependency, policy layering, and replacement. The findings indicate that half of the reforms involved policy layering, integrating new policies within existing structures to address both immediate and systemic issues. The NRRP's implementation, influenced by EU conditionality, fostered moderate reforms but showed limitations in addressing deep-seated systemic problems. The study concludes that Europeanization through financial incentives can drive policy change, with the Croatian case illustrating the transformative potential of the NGEU plan within the broader EU framework.
