Territorial organization in the Republic of Croatia and France with reference to the European Administrative Space

Završni rad temelji se na objašnjavanju teritorijalnog ustroja to jest približavanju pojmova lokalne i regionalne samouprave u Republici Hrvatskoj osvrnuvši se na povijesni razvoj, normativne izvore te same općine, gradove i županije kao samostalne jedinice. Također kao glavnu usporedbu korišten je primjer javne uprave u Francuskoj jer on predstavlja koljevku javne uprave te je kao takav idealan kandidat . Kroz usporedbu dvaju sustava nemoguće je bilo ne osvrnuti se na Europsku Uniju i europski upravni prostor te njihov utjecaj na razvoj i promjene koje su se dogodile ili se tek moraju dogoditi.The final work is based on an explanation of the territorial organization, namely the approximation of the concepts of local and regional self-government in the Republic of Croatia, referring to historical development, normative sources, and municipalities, towns and counties as self-governing units. An example of public administration in France was also used as the main comparison, as it represents the public administration cradle and as such is an ideal candidate. By comparing the two systems, it was impossible to ignore the European Union and European administrative space and their impact on the development and on changes that have occurred or that just have to happen
