Comparative analyses of social policies

Abstract

Comparative analyses of social policies are becoming increasingly actual, being a prerequisite for scientific foundation of social policy as well as for its successful pursuance on the levels of state, local community, enterprises, family etc. These analyses are necessary for selecting the most favorable social goals and representing the most adequate instruments and measures for obtaining optimum social effects. The article offers an insight into scientific explanation of contemporary processes and mechanisms of social policy, regularity of 'behavior' and developments of its constitutive elements under diverse economic and social-political circumstances as well as a perspective of its development. There is an increased understanding that comparative analysis is not only possible and desirable, but that it also offers useful knowledge and reveals alternatives to existing regulations often accepted as the only ones. .

Komparativne analize socijalnih politika postaju sve aktuelnije, jer su one uslov za naučno zasnivanje socijalne politike, kao i njeno uspešno vođenje na nivou države, lokalne zajednice, preduzeća, porodice, itd. Ove analize su uslov za izbor pravih socijalnih ciljeva i predstavljanje najadekvatnijih instrumenata i mera za postizanje optimalnih socijalnih efekata. Rad pruža uvid u naučno objašnjenje savremenih procesa i mehanizama socijalne politike, zakonitosti 'ponašanja' i kretanja njenih konstitutivnih elemenata u različitim ekonomskim i društveno-političkim uslovima, kao i perspektive njenog razvitka. U porastu je shvatanje da je komparativna analiza ne samo moguća i poželjna, već i da pruža korisna saznanja i otkriva alternative postojećim uređenjima, često prihvaćenim kao jedinim. .
