The study tries to explain the influence of regional affiliation on employees’ perception of tourism policy in the sector of cultural tourism. The main aim is to explore whether there is a difference between regional affiliations of employees and employees’ perception of tourism policy in the sector of cultural tourism in Montenegro. The survey was conducted using the interviewing, and the main statistical procedures were factor analysis and multivariate analysis of variance. Research outcome is a significant difference between employees in the northern and the coastal region of Montenegro, in the employees’ perception of the importance of measures and activities of tourism policy in the sector of cultural tourism. However, that difference could not significantly influence tourism policymaking process and the quality of specific tourism policy, which is intended for development of cultural tourism in Montenegro. Most of the significant differences depend on measures and activities, which do not directly influence the growth and development of cultural tourism that way. The study is inspired by the Erasmus+ CULTURWB project.

Entrepreneurship has an increasingly important role in economic growth and development in both developed and underdeveloped countries. Also, various forms of entrepreneurial behavior are important in promoting economic and social development. Thus, it is not surprising that entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activity have received a significant attention from both academics and policy makers. It is important for both groups to better understand the various factors that affect and stimulate entrepreneurial behavior. Previous research has shown that entrepreneurial intentions of individuals represent effective and strong explanatory factor that predicts quite well their future entrepreneurial behavior. Also, entrepreneurial intentions are crucial to the entrepreneurial process as an important first step in a series of actions that leads to the creation of entrepreneurial project. Although there are different theoretical models of entrepreneurial intentions in the extant literature, they actually contain conceptually related elements and offer quite comparable interpretations of entrepreneurial intentions. In order to explore entrepreneurial intentions and their antecedents in South-East European context we have conducted a paper-and-pencil self-administered survey among students of economics and business in four South-East European countries, namely: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia. The sample consisted of 1200 respondents, 300 of respondents from each country included in study. The highly structured questionnaire with set of items derived from the literature and Likert-type scale were used as data collection instrument. The following scales were included in the questionnaire: locus of control, risk taking propensity, perceived barriers, perceived support factors, personal attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm and entrepreneurial intention (Lumpkin, 1985; Luthje, Franke, 2003; Linan, Chen, 2009). Collected data were analyzed with multiple regression technique in order to explore the effects of various antecedents on entrepreneurial intention in the context of South-East European countries. The results indicate that personal attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioral control and subjective norm positively and significantly affect entrepreneurial intent. Respondents from Bosnia and Herzegovina exhibit higher levels of entrepreneurial intent compared to other observed countries. The findings of our research provide better understanding of entrepreneurial intentions and their antecedents in the specific post-transition context of South-East European countries. Theoretical and policy implications of research findings are discussed in the paper.

Growing concern about environmental degradation, disappointment with development efforts to reduce poverty and inequality on a global scale together with economic and socio-political instability has shifted focus from the model of economic growth to the new model of sustainable development. Despite the new orientation of development economics, the question on how to achieve sustainable development goals still remains. In order to avoid failure of the neoliberal agenda, the revised version of Washington Consensus focusing on good governance has taken the leading role in development policy. The aim of this research is to test the links between a fuzzy concept of good governance and very heterogonous dimensions of sustainable development. Our research aims to analyze the effects of good governance on particular indicators of sustainable development, especially of socio-economic development, at the level of different categories of countries. This study reveals that statistical significance, direction and intensity of the effects of good governance dimensions vary in relation to the selected indicator of sustainable development and affiliation to the particular category of countries. These results suggest that there is no “one size fits all” model of good governance promoted as a universal mantra of sustainable development putting into question the principles of post-Washington consensus as the key response to modern developmental challenges.
