Abstract

Istraživanje je poduzeto radi svrhe prikazivanja odnosa moći između različitih aktera koji su sudjelovali u formulaciji dopunskog osiguranja. Cilj je utvrditi tko su bili najutjecajniji/najmoćniji akteri u tom procesu kako bi se unaprijedilo znanje o akterima hrvatske zdravstvene politike i pokazalo tko su jedni od najvažnijih aktera u toj hrvatskoj politici. U radu autor se vodio pretpostavkom pluralizma kako je moć široko distribuirana među različitim akterima te da im se na temelju toga omogućava sudjelovanje, zastupanje interesa i utjecaj na spomenuti proces. U skladu s time autor je razvio mrežu interakcije između aktera, a moć se mjerila pomoću 4 indikatora: javne ovlasti, uloga u procesu, medijska zastupljenost te percepcija aktera o distribuciji moći. Svi indikatori upućuju na to da su najutjecajniji akteri bili formalni, odnosno državni te da moć nije bila široko distribuirana. Nadalje, iako su akteri razvili svojevrsnu mrežu odnosa, ona se ne može u potpunosti objasniti pristupom mreža javnih politika jer je kao prvo, postojao jedan centar moći oko kojeg se strukturirala interakcija i kao drugo, civilno društvo je bilo nedovoljno zastupljeno.

Abstract (english)

Research was conducted for purposes of explaining the relations of power between various actors which have participated in the formulation of supplementary health insurance. The goal was to determine who were the most inflental/powerful actors in that process in order to advance knowledge about Croatian health policy actors and to show which actors are the most relevant in that policy. In this paper the author took the assumption of pluralism as a theory which holds that power is widely distributed among different actors and thus enables them to take part in the policy process, representing their interests and influencing policy. Accordingly, the author developed a network of interaction between actors, and power was measured by four indicators: public authority, role in the policy process, media representation, and actors perception of power distribution. All indicators point to the fact that the most influential actors were formal or state actors, and that power was not widely distributed. Furthermore, although the actors have developed a network of relationships, it can not be fully explained by the approach of policy networks, because, first of all, there was one center of power in which the interaction was structured and, secondly, the civil society was insufficiently represented.
