Programmes and projects of continuous scientific research activity
Since 2007 scientific research activity in IMO has been conducted in the scope of two programmes and six research topics.
PROGRAM 0171682: International Aspects of Knowledge Based Society - Integrations, Security, Economy and Environment
Senior researcher: Anamaria Boromisa, Ph.D.
Within the scope of this programme the researchers analyse various aspects of international economic relations, the current political processes and the position of Croatia. The regional dimensions of Croatian economic and political position in the international community, Croatian strategic policy and relations with international integration, privatisation and post-privatisation aspects of the Croatian economic transformation, as well as the position of Croatia in international trade and financial relations are examined.
In the scope of this scientific programme the research has been conducted within four long-term projects funded by the MSES since 2007:
- Economic Aspects of Security, senior researcher: Sandro Knezović, Ph.D.
- International Aspects of Competitiveness; Restructuring and Entrepreneurship, senior researcher: Nevenka Čučković, Ph.D.
- Lisbon Strategy - Reform Catalyst in the EU and Croatia, senior researcher: Višnja Samardžija, Ph.D.
- Management of Natural and Human Resources – Regional Development and Environmental Protection, senior researcher: Sanja Tišma, Ph.D.
PROGRAMME 0171685: Promotion of Cultural Identities and the Process of Croatian Integration into EU
Senior researcher: Nada Švob-Đokić, Ph.D.
Within the scope of the scientific programme „Promotion of Cultural Identities and the Process of Croatian Integration into the EU”, the research of the Department for culture and communications has been conducted in the scope of two long-term projects financed by the MSES since 2007:
- Global Influences and the Local Cultural Changes, senior researcher: Nada Švob-Đokić, Ph.D.
- Cultural Diversity, Intercultural Communication and Digital Culture, senior researcher: Daniela Angelina Jelinčić, Ph.D.
Two projects within the scope of this programme are implemented at the Faculty of Philosophy in Rijeka and Zagreb:
- (Post)transitional Discourse: Representation, Simulation and Identification, senior researcher: Marina Biti, Ph.D., Faculty of Philosophy, University of Rijeka
- Nation and Representation, senior researcher: Vladimir Biti, Ph.D., Faculty of Philosophy, University of Rijeka
The programme combines the basic assumptions that in the transition and post-transitional period, Croatian culture and Croatian cultural identities are rapidly reconstructing and tend to integrate into the European cultural space. The process of reconstruction and integration of cultural identities is questioned from different perspectives: from internal dynamic disintegrations and recreating representative symbolic values, to the acceptance of cultural diversity as a basis for cultural affirmation, development and integration. Based on these assumptions, the line of research includes inquiry into historical perspective, the emergence and (transitional) deconstruction of Croatian cultural identity, recognition of identity of others and integration into the European cultural space
