Recent trends and challenges are becoming less unambiguous than those of any single linear model of transition, and thus require systematic studies. Scholars have observed multi-faceted social changes in many areas of social life in different countries. There are specific areas of research that simultaneously seem to be on the periphery of discourse and yet are more debatable than it may at first seem. There are no simple explanations for the transformation of economic and social policies, but a wide range of factors elucidated by different analytic frameworks (in particular institutionalism) help explain countries’ differing trajectories over time, including path-dependent or path-breaking policies, ideas and discourse that frame the reform efforts in these countries.Авторы:Данилова Е.Н.Редакторы: Макарович М., Данилова Е.Н., Зубкович А.Content (in russ)hide table of contentsshow table of contents Introduction ................................................................................................. 1 Part I: Transforming Migration: Predicting Social Effects Cross-border Migration: Explanatory Schemes and Strategies for Management ......................................................................................... 11 Nikolai Genov Return Migration in Slovenia with a Focus on the Legal Status of the Immigrant Population ...................................................................... 37 Andreja Primec and Darja Boršič Benefits of Returning Migrants from the Perspectives of Slovenian Entrepreneurs ............................................................................................. 61 Darja Boršič and Asja Pehar Part II: Economic Transformations: Markets and Social Transformations Transformations towards Socially Responsible Banking as a Supportive Environment for the Economy................................................................... 89 Sabina Taškar Beloglavec and Tjaša Štrukelj Privatization of State-owned Assets during the Transition Period in Post-Soviet Countries: A Case Study of Lithuania and Georgia ......... 117 Giorgi Todua Part III: Cultural Transformations: Identities and Narratives Transformation of National Identities ..................................................... 135 Tea Golob and Matej Makarovič vi Table of Contents Transformations of the Public Space Perception: A Case Study of the Museum of Yugoslav History ....................................................... 157 Alina Zubkovych Part IV: Transformations of Inequality Modernization, Value Change, and Gender Inequality in Japan: Japanese Exceptionalism or Theoretical Inadequacy? ............................. 181 Zi Wang A Marginalised Group’s Participation in Rural Odisha (India) ............... 205 Susanta Kumar Mallick Contributors ............................................................................................. 225
