Abstract

U suvremenom društvu sve je više aktualna tema izbjeglica, osobito njihov broj koji se svakodnevno povećava. Uz to se povezuju i brojni problemi i rizici, što uključuje i prepreke u procesu integracije. Ovim radom želi se pokazati uloga i utjecaj organizacija civilnog društva u procesu integracije, te njihov odnos s centrima moći. Odgovori na ova pitanja nastojali su se dobiti kvalitativnim istraživanjem, u sklopu kojega je provedeno osam intervjua sa stručnjacima organizacija civilnog društva koje provode programe integracije izbjeglica na području Republike Hrvatske. Rezultati su pokazali kako civilni sektor ima dvije ključne uloge u integraciji, te pokriva velik broj elemenata integracije. Isto tako ukazuje se i na kompleksan odnos civilnog sektora i centara moći, iz kojeg se može zaključiti kako je iznimno velika potreba poboljšanja međuresorne suradnje, te promjene na sustavnoj razini. Centri moći imaju veliku snagu u programima integracije, osobito Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova koje ima glavnu riječ u svim aspektima rada s izbjeglicama. Sudionici naglašavaju razna iskustva s centrima moći, od kvalitetne suradnje do represije i kontrole. Cijeli ovaj problem provlači se kroz kritičku teoriju, te uz to naglašava važnost socijalnog rada u procesima integracije, ali i kritičke refleksije u ovakvom radu.

Abstract (english)

In modern society, the topic of refugees is becoming more important, especially with their number being increased daily. Numerous problems and risks are associated with this, which includes obstacles in the integration process. This paper aims to show the role and influence of civil society organizations in the integration process, and their relationship with centers of power. The answers to these questions were sought through qualitative research, in which eight interviews were conducted with experts of civil society organizations implementing refugee integration programs in the Republic of Croatia. The results showed that the civil sector has two key roles in integration, and covers a large number of elements of integration. It also points out the complex relationship between the civil sector and the centers of power, from which it can be concluded that there is a great need to improve interdepartmental cooperation and systematicall change. Centers of power have great potency in integration programs, especially the Ministry of interior affairs, which has the main word in all aspects of working with refugees. Participants reported a variety of experiences with centers of power, from quality cooperation to repression and control. This whole problem runs through critical theory, and in addition emphasizes the
importance of social work in the process of integration, but also critical reflection in such work.
