Sažetak
The modern State was constructed in Europe in the 15th and 16th
centuries on the foundation of a “social contract” guaranteeing peace
and security. This was replaced in the 18th and 19th centuries by a
new contract about liberty, equality and fratemity in national States.
With the advent o f globalization a new social contract for the planet
is not yet visible. The régulation o f global processes can be achieved
only by global functionally differentiated structures operating under
their specific operational codes. In these global structural networks
local and regional units can be only knots tying global flows to local
needs.
In Croatia it is important to transform local units, particularly eitles,
into foci o f excellence, comparable to other such centers throughout
Europe. The Croatian State in the process o f European unification
is likely to become a center facilitating thè performance o f local units
o f all kinds in its territory.
