Latsis Public Benefit Foundation „Privatisation of Public Services Sector in Croatia and SEE: Assessment of Major Gains and Pains“ carried out by the IMO research team: Dr Nevenka Čučković (project leader), Dr. Krešimir Jurlin and Valentina Vučković. The aim of the research was to investigate, and where possible measure, the effects of policies of marketisation and privatisation of the telecommunication and the oil and gas industries in Croatia with respect to their business efficiency, management, employment levels, investment, service quality, diversity and prices. The paper questions whether the expected improvements in business performance actually occurred in the post-privatisation period and whether they improved consumer welfare. Both specialists and the wider public have opposing views about the changes which took place, and the paper therefore attempts to set out an analytical evaluation of the actual effects of the privatisation of these two public utilities in Croatia.

Theme of the Forum was the European Union’s budget and the main challenges facing EU in solving fiscal problems as well as in resisting the effects of global financial crises. The Forum was moderated by Dr. Senada Šelo Šabić from IMO who also held a brief welcome speech. After the welcome speech, H.E.

Almanac on Security Sector Oversight in the Western Balkans 2012 The Almanac (full document downloadable in PDF here) is a key outcome of a three-year long regional research project “Civil Society Capacity Building to Map and Monitor Security System Reform in the Western Balkans 2009-2012” conducted by IMO researchers together with those of other six organizations from the regional consortium, supported by Geneva Centre for Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF).

Informacijski izvori iz međunarodnih odnosa i međunarodna integracija Hrvatske Informacijski izvori iz međunarodnih odnosa i međunarodna integracija Hrvatske / Snježana Ivanović. - Zagreb: IMO, 2012. - Cijena knjige: 90,00 kn Svrha ove knjige jest istaknuti potrebu za dobrim informacijskim izvorima iz područja Međunarodnih odnosa te uzeti u obzir ne samo povijesnu ulogu knjižnica u odabiranju, vrednovanju, organiziranju i prezentiranju tih izvora već i njihov značaj za izgradnju informacijskog društva. Samo dobro informiran građanin može donositi valjane odluke. Tako se javila zamisao da se i korisnicima u Hrvatskoj omogući da s jednoga mjesta dođu do većine potrebnih relevantnih informacija koje se odnose na to opsežno znanstveno područje, prije svega na njegove političke aspekte. Takav pristup digitalnim informacijskim izvorima na Internetu moguć je jedino izradom vertikalnog portala (vortala), stoga se knjiga usredotočuje na eventualni projekt izrade vortala međunarodnih odnosa unutar knjižnice Instituta za međunarodne odnose iz Zagreba.
