Abstract:V doktorski disertaciji se poskuša potrditi glavno tezo, da gradnja mrež, zaupanja in poznanstev lokalnih civilnodružbenih organizacij (CDO) na transnacionalni ravni prispeva k pridobivanju profesionalizacije in finančnih sredstev slovenskih in goriških CDO-jev. Raziskovanje se naslanja na različne teorije o (transnacionalnem) socialnem kapitalu, zagovarjajoč značilen bottom-up pristop, od lokalnih programov CDO-jev do njihovega sodelovanja z evropskimi institucijami in oblikovanja translokalnega diskurza. Ugotavljajo se neizkoriščene prednosti in pasti mreženja CDO-jev po vstopu v Evropsko unijo ter hkrati majhna absorpcijska sposobnost lokalnih CDO-jev, saj razpisi za evropska finančna sredstva terjajo svoj čas, izučen kader, sposobnost zalaganja sredstev vnaprej in pretekle izkušnje. Opažajo se preference sodelovanja institucij s CDO-ji, ki so naklonjeni trenutni politični agendi, zato morajo ti znati lobirati prek predstavnika – lobista, kar predstavlja eno od možnosti za doseganje višjih ciljev. Motivacija za mreženje CDO-jev se skriva v zastavljenem izzivu, samo mreženje CDO-jev pa predstavlja pogoj za njihovo transnacionalno delovanje, kar vodi h gradnji njihove kolektivne identitete. Velik potencial CDO-jev je njihova neformalna profesionalizacija, ki jo pridobivajo skozi svoj široki spekter delovanja. Njihova transnacionalna vloga je še vprašljiva, saj sodelovanja ne moremo enačiti z vplivom. Za goriške CDO-je so značilni mehki, začetni pristopi transnacionalne mobilizacije, sodelovanje CDO-jev pa se najbolj prebudi ob izkazani potrebi posameznega CDO-ja, ki prispeva k dobrobiti njegovih članov in uporabnikov. Mreženje se najbolj občuti iz naslova projektov Erasmus. CDO-jem goriške regije pri transnacionalnem mreženju in sodelovanju v mednarodnih projektih pomagajo regionalna stičišča, regionalne razvojne agencije in individualne pobude vodij CDO-jev, malo manj pa občine in država. Država je lahko spodbujevalec, zaviralec ali posrednik za CDO-je, z njenim spodbujanjem CDO-jev pa bi dosegli uravnotežen razvoj države.

Title:Social capital, transnational networking and their role in acquiring resources for local civil society organization – case of Slovenia
Abstract:The dissertation tries to confirm the main thesis that building networks, trust and acquaintances of local CDOs at the transnational level contributes to the acquisition of professionalization and financial resources for Slovenian and Gorizian CDOs. The research relies on different theories of (transnational) social capital, following a typical bottom-up approach, which goes from local programs of CDOs to CDO's cooperation with European institutions and the formation of a translocal discourse. Many unexploited advantages and pitfalls of CDO networking after the EU accession are identified, as well as the low absorptive capacity of local CDOs, because calls for European financial resources require time, trained staff, the ability to invest funds in advance and past experience. There is a preference for institutions to cooperate with CDOs that are in favor of the current political agenda, so CDOs must be able to lobby through a representative -a lobbyist, which represents one of the options to achieve CDO's higher goals. The motivation for CDOs to network lies in set-a-challenge and the CDO's networking itself represents a condition for the transnational operation of CDOs, which leads to the construction of collective identity of CDOs. The great potential of CDOs lies in their informal professionalization, obtained through their wide spectrum of activities The transnational role of CDOs is still questionable, since cooperation cannot be equated with influence. Gorizian CDOs are characterized by soft, initial approaches of transnational mobilization and CDO's cooperation is most awakened when a certain need for the CDO's members and users is revealed. Networking is most noticeable in the context of Erasmus projects. CDOs of the Goriška region are assisted in transnational networking and cooperation in international projects by regional junctions, regional development agencies, individual initiatives of CDO leaders, and to a lesser extent by municipalities and the state. The state can be a promoter, inhibitor or mediator for CDOs, and by encouraging CDOs, a balanced development of the state would be achieved.
