A Relative Unit Labor Cost: Case of Accession Countries

In this paper, framework of the relative labor cost has been used in order to analyze relative competitiveness of the economic agents in the Croatia and five accession countries. Therefore, unit labor costs have been calculated for the Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. All of the analyzed countries are transition countries, on the similar level of GDP per capita, and are or will be in the near future EU members. Therefore, it is more than obvious that all of the analyzed countries will be direct competitors in the common European markets. Our findings suggest that relative unit costs (competitiveness) of Croatia vis a vis analyzed countries increased since 1996.competitiveness, relative unit labor costs, productivity, wages, employment

INTEPROL kao subjekt međunarodnog prava

One of the main characteristics of contemporary international law is the proliferation of the addressees of its norms - the subjects of international law (international legal persons). Nevertheless, certain holders of rights and duties under international law, such as INTERPOL, are still awaiting recognition of their de facto status of subjects of international law. The cause of this is the fact that the concept of international legal personality is still an instrument of international legal doctrine for the recognition or non-recognition of the status of a subject of international law to certain entities. Accordingly, the paper first considers the concept of international legal personality. On that basis, the paper analyses the factual position of INTERPOL in the international legal order and consequently provides an affirmative answer to the question of its subjectivity in international law.Jedna od glavnih karakteristika suvremenoga međunarodnog prava jest proliferacija adresata njegovih normi - subjekata međunarodnog prava (međunarodnopravnih osoba). Usprkos tome, pojedini nosioci prava i dužnosti po međunarodnom pravu, poput INTERPOL-a, i dalje čekaju na priznanje svojeg faktičkog statusa subjekta međunarodnog prava. Uzrok je tome činjenica da je koncept međunarodne pravne osobnosti još uvijek instrument međunarodnopravne doktrine za priznavanje ili nepriznavanje statusa subjekta međunarodnog prava određenim entitetima. U skladu s tim, rad prvo razmatra koncept međunarodnopravne osobnosti. Na temelju toga u radu se analizira faktički položaj INTERPOL-a u međunarodnopravnom poretku i posljedično daje potvrdan odgovor na pitanje njegova subjektiviteta u međunarodnome pravu
