The aim of the current report is to provide new data and insight on the social and economic effects of public investments in Roma communities from a human development perspective. Its objective is to establish the effects of a wide range of public investments made by Kavarna municipality in the mostly-Roma neighbourhood of Hadji Dimitar, between 2004 and 2014. The investment covered areas such as housing and infrastructure, healthcare, employment, income, poverty and social exclusion, justice and crime, and political participation. It reviews a range of indicators with the aim of establishing the effects of these investments on the social and economic development of the neighbourhood and its residents, both Roma and non-Roma. It also looks beyond the neighbourhood to provide a comparative perspective on a national level. The data presented here is derived from a variety of sources and covers a range of indicators. Every effort has been made to ensure the use of similar indicators and definitions as previous household surveys, notably the UNDP/FRA study, and the NSI, however, the results are not directly comparable due to the difference in survey methodologies, samples and scope. The data presented should be taken as an indication of trends and tendencies. The lack of concrete data on the initial investments, the inputs and relevant baseline indicators has also challenged the quantifying of the contribution of individual public investments. Different investments have had different impact on the development of the neighbourhood and reducing the distances with the Bulgarian residents. This impact has been established by looking at the results obtained from a specialised household survey conducted among 300 Roma and non-Roma households in the Hadji Dimitar quarter of Kavarna in 2015. The relevance and impact of these changes is analysed through comparison with the national averages for the whole population and the averages for Roma nationally. It is also measured against the investments to establish a positive correlation between the effect and the investment where such data exists.

Država Bosna i Hercegovini je potpisnica brojnih međunarodnih konvencija koje postavljaju standarde koji se tiču zaštite ljudskih prava i sloboda i kojima se insistira na uvažavanju dostojanstva svih pojedinki i pojedinaca. Pored toga, Bosna i Hercegovina je na državnom nivou usvojila, između ostalog, Zakon o ravnopravnosti spolova i Zakon o zabrani diskriminacije. Kroz različite sociološko-pravne analize ona se može prepoznati kao školski primjer diskrepancija između de iurei de facto stanja ravnopravnosti svih osoba. Ipak, čak i onda kada se u analizama (pre)naglašava dobro de iure stanje, oblast porodičnog zakonodavstva se može izdvojiti kao ona oblast koja nužno traži određene korekcije. Čak i međunarodni standardi koji se tiču unaprjeđenja porodičnog života otvoreni su za dalju debatu. Naime, ovo je oblast u kojoj dolaze do izražaja sve diskrepancije različitih ideoloških pozicija što može biti predmet posebne rasprave. Ostavljajući po strani ove sporove, a imajući u vidu dosadašnja istraživanja, ovdje je potrebno ukazati na nekoliko bitnih uvida koji su rezultat dosadašnjih istraživanja u Bosni i Hercegovini.

Na osnovu dosadašnjih istraživanja može se izvesti teza da je Bosna i Hercegovina školski primjer razdvajanja pravnog (de iure) i stvarnog (de facto) ostvarenja rodne ravnopravnosti. Međutim, niti su u prvom segmentu opravdana idealizovanja, niti su u drugom opravdana nivelisanja onoga što je do sada urađeno. Prethodno se može konstatovati da je zakonodavstvo sagrađeno na bespolnoj legislativi koja se naknadno pokušava korigovati kroz mehanizme posebne zaštite ženskih ljudskih prava.

Przemiany gospodarcze i społeczne ostatnich dekad spowodowały zmianę w postrzeganiu przedsiębiorstw społecznych w Polsce, które przestały być synonimem spółdzielni socjalnych. Przedsiębiorstwa społeczne, pomimo specyficznego sposobu funkcjonowania, podobnie jak inne podmioty gospodarcze podlegają przemianom technologicznym. W realiach gospodarki 4.0 digitalizacja stała się konieczną inwestycją dla wszystkich jednostek. Dla niektórych podmiotów jest ona warunkiem przetrwania, a dla innych źródłem możliwości rozwojowych. W książce została podjęta problematyka digitalizacji przedsiębiorstw społecznych oraz ich finansowania. Na podstawie studiów literaturowych oraz badań empirycznych dokonano oceny dywersyfikacji źródeł finansowania przedsiębiorstw i kształtowania się ich przychodów w latach 2019–2021, określono poziom digitalizacji przedsiębiorstw społecznych oraz ustalono zależności między poziomem digitalizacji i finansowaniem przedsiębiorstw społecznych w Polsce. Niniejsza monografia to pierwsza publikacja poświęcona tej problematyce w Polsce i jedna z nielicznych w literaturze międzynarodowej. Może być wykorzystana przez studentów nauk społecznych, zwłaszcza kierunków ekonomicznych i finansowych. Zawarte są w niej także wnioski ważne dla menedżerów przedsiębiorstw społecznych oraz decydentów politycznych, współtworzących system wsparcia rozwoju ekonomii społecznej w Polsce.
