POLITICAL INSTITUTIONALIZATION WITHIN LARGE ORGANIZATIONS

       The author has studied the institutional processes within large organizations. The analysis is made from the point of view of the theory of activities. First, he outlines the main concept of the theory of activities. Then, he studies the organization as a rational conception and as a political formation. Furthermore, he determines two categories of the form of policy in organizations. In the first one, policy appears as a strategy, as a decision-making process, as a process to ensure the achievement of the goal, as a debate and as a competition.
        The problem in all these forms is in their too great a switchover to a non-political form. In the second category policy is tought as a structural activity of common interest directed towards the creation and continuation of the system. Finally, the author brings down the organizational political processes to the connections between the realization of interests and exercising/ensuring power and to the reasonable phases of institutionalization.

Key words:    theory of activities, organizations, political forms and processes, realization of interests, exercising/ ensuring power, phases of institutionalization

A REPORT OF THE IMPERIAL CHAMBERLAIN ON THE EXPLOITATION OF WOODS OF THE MILITARY CROATIA INTENDED FOR THE FRENCH NAVY

       The forming of the Illyrian provinces had an economic and strategic foundation. From the strategic point of view, the Illyrian provinces were established to enable a direct contact between Austria and Britain by sea, thus making the hinterland inaccessible for the English commodities. In response to this plan, Britain aimed at conquering and maintaining its forces on the islands situated along the coast of the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, thus controlling the traffic of French ships across the Adriatic. From the economic point of view, the Illyrian provinces would supply France with soldiers, money collected by contribution, military forces and timber to be used for the revival of the degenerated navy and for sale in France. The survey drawn up by Napoleon’s chamberlain, Louis Caesar, points at all aspects of the economic and strategic interest that France had within the countries that the Illyrian provinces were made up of.

Key words: Illyrian provinces, the Military Croatia

SOME INDICATORS OF THE SECONDARY-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN MALI LOŠINJ

        Mali Lošinj, as the largest inhabited place on the islands of the Croatian part of the Adriatic, has a secondary school with a three- and four-year programme for up to 14 different professions and attended by a number of 400 to 500 pupils a year. This paper aims at presenting some indicators of the secondary-school education in Mali Lošinj, obtained by analysing pupils according to their number, sex and department they are enrolled at, by analysing the obtained marks and absences in a four-year secondary school, and, at the end, by analysing commuting pupils who live in other places on the islands of Cres and Lošinj.
       As Mali Lošinj has a long tradition in maritime education, a special attention has been paid to the analysis of those pupils who, in the 1960 to 2002 period, have exclusively completed maritime education. The analysis has been carried out by applying relevant statistical methods based on the data referring to the 2001/2002 school year. The results thus obtained have pointed to the need of proceeding with such an anlysis, aiming at improving the quality of the secondary-school education.

Key words: statistic analyses, secondary-school education, Mali Lošinj
