Črnak-Meglič, Andreja (author), Rakar, Tatjana (author)

The paper focuses on an analysis of the third sector's characteristics in Slovenia and its role in the Slovenian welfare system. The findings are based on a survey of a representative sample of third sector organisations in Slovenia in 1996 and 2005 where the same methodology as in the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project was used, thereby making the data internationally comparable. The paper aims at understanding the position of the third sector within the Slovenian welfare system through a comparative analysis of that sector's characteristics and its role in other post-socialistand other European countries. It concludes by discussing the strategies for and future challenges and opportunities of the third sector's developments and its role in the Slovenian welfare system.

Abstract

Članek se osredotoča na analizo značilnosti tretjega sektorja v Sloveniji in njegove vloge v slovenskem sistemu blaginje. Temelji na podatkih raziskave na reprezentativnem vzorcu organizacij tretjega sektorja v Sloveniji med letoma 1996 in 2005, narejene na osnovi metodologije Univerze Johns Hopkins - mednarodnega primerjalnega projekta o neprofitnem sektorju, kar omogoča mednarodno primerljivost podatkov. Avtorici poskušata razumeti položaj organizacij tretjega sektorja v slovenskem sistemu blaginje s pomočjo primerjalne analize značilnosti tretjega sektorja in njegove vloge v drugih postsocialističnih državah kot tudi drugih evropskih državah. V sklepnem delu se navežeta na nadaljnje mogoče strategije, izzive in priložnosti za razvoj tretjega sektorja v slovenskem sistemu blaginje.
