Sažetak
In the first part of this paper, the author discusses the nature of social rights, the differences between social, civil and political rights, current questioning of social rights, as well as the meaning of social rights in a sustainable social development. The subject of the second part is the evolution of social rights in Croatia from the preindustrial times until gaining the state independence in the beginning of the 1990s. The third part discusses the social development and social rights in Croatia from the gaining of independence until today. The author thereby distinguishes between the period of wartime solidarity from 1991 until 1995, post-war period from 1996 until 1999, when the Croatian society was the scene of powerful social frustrations and conflicts and when the first more significant social reforms started, and the last period of four years (2000 – 2003) in which social reforms were continued in order to adjust to the processes of globalization, transnational integration, as well as to technological, economic and social changes. In the conclusion the author warns about three possible directions of the evolution of social rights in Croatia. The first one is partial privatization of the social security systems, the second one is the establishment of basic universal rights, as well as of the social protection net, while the third one is the ‘individualisation of social rights’ i.e. the inclusion of the marginalized individuals and groups into society, which means the adjustment of social intervention to the specific needs of the user.
