Abstract

Kao posljedica socioekonomskih transformacija proteklih godina, javlja se sve veći broj novih socijalih rizika i veći broj osoba kojima je potrebna pomoć. Nekada postojeća rješenja nisu dovoljna te stoga tražimo nove načine rješavanja problema s kojima se suočavamo. Jedan od tih načina je razvijanje socijalnih inovacija. Socijalne inovacije su nove ideje, proizvodi i usluge koje zadovoljavaju neku socijalnu potrebu. Navode se kao naznake novog promišljanja održivosti socijalnih politika, kojima je cilj osiguranje društvenog i ekološkog održivog rasta, boljih radnih mjesta te veće kvalitete života. Socijalne inovacije brišu državne i sektorske granice, te odgovaraju na nove socijalne rizike koji se javljaju. Uspjeh Europe ovisi o njenoj sposobnosti inoviranja. Inovacije predstavljaju srž nove strategije Europa 2020 i najbolji su način za uspješno rješavanje gospodarskih i društvenih problema. Ulaskom Hrvatske u Europsku uniju, socijalne inovacije dobivaju na značaju, no suočavaju se s nizom problema. Kako bismo bolje razumjeli što su socijalne inovacije, koja je uloga i koji su mehanizmi Europske Unije na području njihovog razvoja, u ovom radu definirali smo pojam socijalne inovacije, njenu tipologiju, opisali smo socijalnu inovaciju u različitim sektorima, definirali pojam Europske unije, njene karakteristike, javne politike i mehanizme, te pobliže opisali ulogu i značaj Europske unije u poticanju socijalnih inovacija.

Abstract (english)

As a result of socio-economic transformations in recent years, an increasing number of new social risks and an increasing number of people in need are emerging. Sometimes, existing solutions are not enough so we have to find new ways to solve the problems we face. One of these ways is to develop social innovation. Social innovations are new ideas, products and services that meet a social need. They are cited as indications of a new rethinking of the sustainability of social policies, aimed
at ensuring social and environmentally sustainable growth, better jobs and a higher quality of life. Social innovations erase national and sectoral boundaries and respond to new social risks that arise. Europe's success depends on its ability to innovate. Innovation is at the heart of the new Europe 2020 strategy and is the best way to successfully tackle economic and social problems. With Croatia's accession to the European Union, social innovations are gaining in importance, but they are facing a number of problems. In order to better understanding what social innovation is, what is the role and mechanisms of the European Union in the field of their development, in this paper we have defined the concept of social innovation, its typology, we have described social innovation in different sectors, we defined the concept of the European Union, its characteristics , public policies and mechanisms, and we have described in detail the role and importance of the European Union in fostering social innovation.
