Economic and social security in EU : reforming Slovenian law on social enterpreneurship
Petra Kleindienst, 2019, original scientific article

Abstract: Europe 2020 strategy of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth also implies policies for boosting social innovations. In this context, it is relevant to encourage solutions such as social entrepreneurship as it is addressing social and environmental issues while employing entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurship depends on the context of its emergence and implementation. In this regard, the context-specific factors play an important role. Following the Cultural Political Economy approach, the article examines on different factors that have influenced on the adoption of amendments of the Slovenian Social Entrepreneurship Act in 2018. Selection of the case study of Slovenia bases on the findings implying that Slovenia has still not overcome the initial phase of the development of the social entrepreneurship. The article reveals that there are still issues relevant for running social enterprises that are not sufficiently regulated by the law. One of them is a training of the vulnerable groups in terms of their technological skills in order to ensure their efficiency and productiveness in Work Integration Social Enterprises.

Social networks as factors for innovations : doktorska disertacija
Victor Cepoi, 2018, doctoral dissertation

Abstract: In the new local-global interconnection, nation states are losing their influence and legitimacy, while economic and cultural transformations are reconfiguring spatial formations. Going in line with the global trends, regions grasp more importance in shaping the political, economic and social environments. As a result, the regional level has an important role in creating a proper socio-economic framework for innovation development, which is considered one the engines of development. Relying on the theory of Social fields, the research considers three social forces (networks, institutions, and cognitive frames) as an alternative explanation for innovation processes, by encompassing the aspects of different social fields on the regional level. Consequently, within this dissertation we approach regional innovation systems as an analytical unit for exploring innovation performance of a regional environment. As case studies, we selected seven regions with different levels of innovation performance. The analysis of the semi-structured interviews and the Qualitative Comparative Analysis emphasized the social forces are a special component for explaining innovation processes in the selected case studies. Nonetheless, the results offer insights for regional mechanisms within the innovation performance with the focus on an approach toward innovation that is beyond simple economics.
