Abstract
IN ENGLISH: In the chapter titled “Croatia: impact of Europeanization on skill formation“ Teo Matković and Nikola Buković elaborate how Europeanization fits in the current institutional state of the Croatian skill formation regime, qualified as ‘predominantly statist, with partial collectivism in training for occupations in skilled trades’. The text provides outlines of demographic and industrial context, followed by a depiction of linkages between the education system and labour market. The main features of the social partnership and its role in functioning of the national skill formation system are also explored. The chapter contains two important case studies on Europeanization in the national system: on development of apprenticeship schemes and introduction of the national qualification system. Both indicate that the role of Europeanization can be understood as the one of a “great accelerator”. On one hand it pushes policymakers to ‘play catch-up’ with more developed member states, while on the other functions as a repository of (re)usable policy ideas and source of funding to back up their implementation. However, institutional change remains sluggish, as layering, rather than displacement, represents the dominant mechanism of institutional change in the Croatian skill formation system. This can be interpreted by three lines of argument: i) path dependence, creating a dominant position of the central state in early 1990s, which was not coupled with adequate policymaking capacity; ii) lack of interest, capacity and ambition of non-state actors to assume more prominent role and iii) structural factors, primarily protracted abundance of qualified labour force, hindering employers’ investment in innovation and human capital. --------------- IN CROATIAN: U poglavlju pod naslovom „Hrvatska: utjecaj europeizacije na formiranje vještina“ Teo Matković i Nikola Buković istražuju kako se europeizacija uklapa u trenutno institucionalno stanje hrvatskog režima oblikovanja vještina, kojeg kvalificiraju kao „pretežno etatistički, djelomično kolektivistički u obrazovaju za zanimanja u obrte'. Tekst daje pregled demografskog i industrijskog konteksta, nakon čega slijedi prikaz poveznica između obrazovnog sustava i tržišta rada. Također se istražuju glavne značajke socijalnog partnerstva i njegova uloga u funkcioniranju nacionalnog sustava oblikovanja vještina. Poglavlje sadrži dvije važne studije slučaja o europeizaciji u nacionalnom kontekstu: o razvoju shema naukovanja i o uvođenju nacionalnog kvalifikacijskog okvira. Oba pokazuju da se uloga europeizacije može shvatiti kao “veliki akcelerator”. S jedne strane tjera kreatore politika da 'sustižu' razvijenije države članice, dok s druge funkcionira kao spremište (ponovno) iskoristivih političkih ideja i izvor financiranja za podupiranje njihove provedbe. Međutim, institucionalne promjene i dalje su spore, jer u hrvatskom sustavu oblikovanja vještina slojevanje, a ne zamjena, predstavlja dominantan mehanizam institucionalnih promjena. To se može protumačiti pomoću tri linije argumenata: i) ovisnost o putu, odnosno stvaranja dominantne pozicije središnje države početkom 1990-ih, koja nije bila povezana s odgovarajućim kapacitetom za kreiranje politike; ii) nedostatak interesa, kapaciteta i ambicije nedržavnih aktera da preuzmu istaknutiju ulogu i iii) strukturnim čimbenicima, prvenstveno dugotrajno obilje kvalificirane radne snage, koji nisu poticali ulaganje poslodavaca u inovacije i ljudski kapital.
