As global practice shows, the fundamental mechanism for optimizing the activities of public authorities is strategic management, which involves the development and introduction of the latest technology to optimize their functioning and contributes to the formation of positive trends in the innovative development of the entire public administration system. Therefore, this article, based on the analysis of modern problems in the formation of strategic management in the development of the public sphere, demonstrates the expediency of using the strategic management methodology in the development of the public sphere to ensure its effective formation. The main strategic management tasks of state authorities are determined, solutions to which must be derived in compliance with the criteria of effectiveness and social responsibility. The need to change the management culture in the public sector is substantiated-in particular, the introduction of a strategic approach to management in the activities of state authorities is encouraged. The place and role of strategic management in the organization of the activities of state administration entities is defined. The main tasks of the strategic management of state authorities are also outlined, solutions to which must be carried out in compliance with the criteria of efficiency and social responsibility. The main stages of strategic management in the public sphere are characterized, the observance of which enables state authorities to quickly solve organizational problems and, in general, ensure the effective functioning of the public administration system at all levels. The key conditions for the effective work of state authorities in Ukraine are identified, and both modern innovative strategic management tools and the possibilities of their use in domestic state authorities are analyzed. It is substantiated that the analysis of strategic alternatives and the justification of strategy is a conceptual task of strategic management, the achievement of which requires the use of an interrelated set of tools. The main directions of the development of the system of management of the activities of public sphere entities are studied, and it is emphasized that this should change in accordance with general trends in the development of management science. The implementation of strategic approaches should become a priority area of implementation for the new concept of public sector management. The stages of the strategic management of public sector entities are also proposed, taking into account their purpose and role in the development of the country and the objective of reforming the general public administration sector.

Cybersecurity attacks have increased in recent years, both on the EU and global levels, in terms of their number and impact. The public administration sector is particularly at risk, as this is where most cybersecurity attacks take place. It is therefore important to develop comprehensive information security strategies on both the organizational and national level. Strategies help to set up a relatively long-term focus and priorities. The aim of our study is to understand how the EU member countries deal with such challenges. To achieve this, we analyze three indices: the level of penetration (PL), level of digitalization (DL), and global cybersecurity index (GCI). We examine individual national strategies to provide a basis for a comparative analysis which can serve as a reference for improving the long-term cybersecurity in the public administration.

Lokalni ekonomski razvoj predstavlja proces putem kojeg lokalne vlasti zajedno sa javnim organizacijama, nevladinim sektorom i preduzećima razvijaju bolje poslovno okruženje. Moderne politike lokalnog ekonomskog razvoja preuzimaju sve više ravnopravniju ulogu sa privatnim sektorom, olakšavajući mu razvoj i vođenje poslova. Ovakve se politike često razvijaju u obliku partnerstva između javnog i privatnog sektora, čiji je cilj podupiranje privatnih investicija u korist cijele društvene zajednice. Lokalni ekonomski razvoj dio je razvojne politike Bosne i Hercegovine zadnjih desetak godina. Strateški pristup omogućio je lokalnim zajednicama da uđu u procese reforme i da od početka svoje kapacitete prilagođavaju zahtjevima globalnog tržišta. Pojavom novih teorijskih pristupa postavljeni su temelji teorijske osnove lokalnog ekonomskog razvoja. Aktivna uloga lokalne zajednice i planiranje ekonomskog razvoja sa lokalnog nivoa omogućilo je drugačiju perspektivu i pristup osnovnim strateškim pravcima razvoja nacionalnih ekonomija u razvijenim zemljama. Local economic development is the process through which local authorities, together with public organizations, non-governmental sector and enterprises, develop a better business environment. Modern policies of local economic development are taking on an increasingly equal role with the private sector, facilitating its development and management of business. Such policies are often developed in the form of partnerships between the public and private sectors, which aim to support private investment for the benefit of the entire social community. Local economic development has been a part of the development policy of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the last ten years. The strategic approach has enabled local communities to enter the reform processes and to adapt their capacities to the demands of the global market from the beginning. With the advent of new theoretical approaches, the foundations of the theoretical basis of local economic development were laid. The active role of the local community and the planning of economic development from the local level has enabled a different perspective and approach to the basic strategic directions of development of national economies in developed countries.

The diversity of legal systems derives from differences in the division of socio-cultural reality, which requires conceptual elaboration involving a variety of systems and, consequently, terminologies whose unification is difficult. The greatest difficulty with legal translation lies in the noncorrespondence of concepts between the source law system and the target law system. Students of foreign languages are taught courses on the general principles of translation. However, legal translation necessarily requires a full command of the legal system and terminology. It should be emphasized that legal terminology does not consist of the study of isolated words, but it is important to consider the conceptual aspects represented by the legal terms. In general, a technical or scientific term has mostly the same universal referent and therefore an exact equivalent in a given language. The legal world operates differently. Each legal system is characterized by its fundamental singularity as it is elaborated in a specific national context and is designed to meet the specific aspirations of a community. For this reason, attention is paid particularly to finding the equivalence of legal terms for which it is difficult to provide equivalents, in view of the considerable differences existing between different legal systems, and thus also among their respective notional systems. For the translator, the task is also to master the terminology and the semantic derivation in order to find a corresponding and satisfying equivalent in the target legal system. Thus, the article aims at presenting some translation strategies that can be used, depending on the actual situation, in legal translation, despite the fact that, sometimes, the result obtained is far from being an ideal solution.

Ulogu sporta kao sredstva diplomacije zagovaraju predstavnici konstruktivističke teorije međunarodnih odnosa. Cilj rada je dati pregled nacionalnih modela sportske diplomacije (Australije, Francuske, SAD , Norveške, Rusije, Kine, Japana i Brazila), te ukazati na perspektivu razvoja hrvatskog modela sportske diplomacije. Pozitivni učinci sporta na državne ciljeve ostvaruju se putem nacionalnih modela sportske diplomacije koji obuhvaćaju: korištenje sportske uspješnosti u jačanju meke moći države, uključenje sportaša u političke i diplomatske procese, korištenje sporta kao diplomatskog instrumenta putem međunarodnih razvojnih programa, organizaciju sportskih događaja itd. Identificirana su područja na koja hrvatski sport može pozitivno utjecati, poput međunarodnih odnosa, poboljšanja imidža države u svijetu, jačanja nacionalne kohezije, zatim turističke, demografske, ekonomske i javnozdravstvene dobrobiti, socijalne inkluzije, jačanja kulture volonterizma itd. Sustavno prepoznata važnost sporta od strane države od krucijalnog je značaja. Preporučuje se međuresorna izrada nacionalne strategije sportske diplomacije ili separatnih programa sa sličnim ciljevima.

Forest resource exploitation and the achievement of full forest potential depend on the density and quality of the forest road network. The forest road network has to fulfill multiple functions; it thus has strategic importance in forest management. When planning the forest road network development, decision makers have to consider various technological, economic, social, and environmental factors. A comprehensive and functional approach is needed. A hybrid methodological framework for the formulation of guidelines, within which the strategy for the development of the state-owned forest road network should be defined, is presented in this paper. A fuzzy modification of the A'WOT method is proposed. The model, named FDA’WOT model, is based on an idea to provide a conceptual framework for strategic option selection by combining the fuzzy Delphi technique, the fuzzy SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The FDA’WOT model overcomes the problems of a classical SWOT analysis related to the vagueness and uncertainties in assessment of the character, impact and relative importance of strategic factors. It is a frame for a multicriteria approach in decision making which allows analytical prioritization of alternative strategic options and selection of an optimal one. The proposed model is applied to a case study of the strategy selection for the forest road network development in the Republic of Serbia. The presented results have shown that the FDA'WOT model can successfully create conditions for sustainable strategy formulation. / Эксплуатация лесных ресурсов и достижение полного потенциала лесного хозяйства зависят от плотности и качества сети лесных дорог. Поскольку сети лесных дорог выполняют не одну, а несколько функций, то их с правом можно считать чрезвычайно значимым стратегическим фактором в управлении лесным хозяйством. При планировании развития сети лесных дорог лица, принимающие решения, должны учитывать многочисленные технологические, экономические, социальные и природно- экологические факторы. При этом необходимо придерживаться комплексного и функционального подхода. В настоящей статье представлена гибридная методологическая основа для разработки принципов, которые помогут определить стратегию развития государственной сети лесных дорог. В данной связи предлагается нечёткая модификация метода A'WOT. Предложенная модель, названная моделью FDA'WOT, основана на идее сочетания нечёткого анализа дельфи, нечёткого SWOT анализа (Силы - Strengths, Слабости - Weaknesses, Шансы - Opportunities, Угрозы - Threats) и Аналитического Иерархического Процесса (AHP), которое формирует концептуальные рамки для выбора оптимального стратегического варианта. Модель FDA'WOT поможет преодолеть проблему классического SWOT- анализа, связанную с нечёткостью и неопределенностью в оценке характера, воздействия и относительной важности стратегических факторов. Эта модель представляет собой формальную основу для принятия многокритериальных решений, которая позволяет аналитическим способом определить приоритет альтернативных стратегических вариантов и выбрать лучший из них. Предлагаемая модель разработана на примере выбора стратегического варианта при развитии сети лесных дорог в Республике Сербия. Представленные результаты показывают, что модель FDA'WOT создает условия для разработки устойчивой стратегии. / Eksploatacija šumskih resursa i ostvarenje punog potencijala šuma zavise od gustine i kvaliteta mreže šumskih puteva. Kako treba da zadovolji više funkcija, ona ima strategijski značaj u upravljanju šumama. Pri planiranju razvoja mreže šumskih puteva, donosioci odluka moraju da uzmu u obzir brojne tehnološke, ekonomske, društvene i prirodne - ekološke faktore, što znači da je neophodan sveobuhvatan i funkcionalan pristup. U ovom radu prikazan je hibridni metodološki okvir za formulisanje smernica na kojima treba definisati stretegiju razvoja državne mreže šumskih puteva. U tu svhu predložena je fuzzy modifikacija A'WOT metode. Predloženi model, nazvan FDA'WOT model, zasnovan je na ideji da se kroz kombinaciju fuzzy delfi tehnike, fuzzy SWOT (snage - Strenghts, slabosti - Weaknesses, šanse - Opportunities, pretnje - Threats) analize i analitičkog hijerarhijskog procesa (AHP) obezbedi konceptualni okvir za izbor optimalne strategijske opcije. FDA'WOT model omogućava prevazilaženje problema klasične SWOT analize koji se odnose na neodređenosti i neizvesnosti prilikom procene karaktera, uticaja i relativne važnosti strategijskih faktora. On predstavlja formalni okvir za višekriterijumsko odlučivanje, koji omogućava da se na analitičan način odredi prioritet alternativnih strategijskih opcija i izabere optimalna. Predloženi model primenjen je na primeru izbora strategijske opcije razvoja mreže šumskih puteva u Republici Srbiji, a prezentovani rezultati pokazuju da FDA'WOT model stvara uslove za formulaciju održive strategije.

Autor analizira ulogu imidža Katoličke Crkve u hrvatskoj javnosti te se bavi načinima kreiranja imidža općenito i mogućnostima njegove promjene. Posebno se bavi subjektima odgovornima za identitet i imidž Crkve te komunikacijskim kanalima koji oblikuju javno mnijenje i formiraju sliku Crkve u hrvatskoj javnosti. Središnje pitanje rada je uloga odnosa s javnošću u kreiranju i upravljanju imidžom Crkve te nastojanjima da Crkva, umjesto komunikacijskog objekta, kojim se drugi bave, postane komunikacijski subjekt, koji proaktivno i strateški utječe na javno mnijenje te pridonosi boljem razumijevanju njezine uloge u društvu. Rad se bavi i ulogom medija u kreiranju imidža te donosi istraživanje o utjecaju medija na stajališta hrvatskih građana o fenomenu Međugorja. Također donosi strateške preporuke za kreiranje kvalitetnijih odnosa s javnošću crkvenih zajednica i institucija te jačanje imidža Crkve u hrvatskoj javnosti.

At the beginning of the 21st century, rural policy remains one of the most important areas of public policy; huge financial and human resources are devoted to the implementation of this policy measures. The aim of the article is to provide holistic evaluation of the goals, means and key achievements of Lithuanian agricultural policy and to identify possible areas and ways of improvement. The diversity of agricultural policy measures applied in Lithuania after the restoration of independence in 1990 and achievements of the policy are analysed on the basis of new approach - the theory of qualitative structures. The study explores how policy measures to accelerate the process of industrialization in Lithuanian agriculture after the privatization of kolkhozes and sovkhozes have encouraged and supported private farms to implement extensive growth, intensification, specialization, risk management, collaboration and innovation production strategies, and what results they have achieved.
