Ovom radu je cilj definirati važnost uloge transparentnosti u kvaliteti institucija i istražiti utjecaje veličine jedinice lokalne samouprave na transparentnost proračuna lokalnih jedinica na otocima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Prvo što se definiralo su same institucije te njihova uloga u subnacionalnom kontekstu. Zatim se fokusiralo na transparentnost i njena obilježja, kao jednu od ključnih odrednica kvalitete institucija. Zatim je prikazan institucionalni okvir lokalne samouprave u Republici Hrvatskoj te socio-ekonomska obilježja jedinica lokalne samouprave koja su značajna za određivanje stupnja razvijenosti regija i jedinica lokalne samouprave u određenom razdoblju. Empirijski modeli koji su formirani istražuju utjecaj veličine jedinica lokalne samouprave na transparentnost lokalnog proračuna, utjecaj veličine jedinica lokalne samouprave na upravljačke kapacitete te utjecaj veličine jedinica lokalne samouprave na angažiranost civilnog društva i to sve na specifičnoj lokaciji hrvatskih otoka. The aim of this paper is to define the importance of the role of transparency in the quality of institutions and to investigate the effects of local government unit size on the transparency of local budgets on islands in the Republic of Croatia. The first thing that was defined were the institutions themselves and their role in the subnational context. The paper then focused on transparency and its features, as one of the key determinants of the quality of institutions. After that, the institutional framework of local self-government in the Republic of Croatia is presented, as well as the socio-economic characteristics of local self-government units that are important for determining the level of development of regions and local self-government units in a certain period. Empirical models formed in this paper investigate the impact of the size of local governments on the transparency of the local budget, the impact of the size of local governments on management capacity and the impact of the size of local governments on civil society engagement, all in a specific location of Croatian islands. |
