Sažetak
This paper deals with theoretical evaluations of attempts to reform a welfare state in a view of the neoclassical idea of the market as the only economic regulator. Recent welfare state reforms are most clearly described in A. Giddens' Third way, and have been the basis of some recent socialdemocrat governments proclamations. Neoliberalism uses classic ideas of market conditions and laissez-fair, having, in the conditions of globalisation, an important effect especialy on developing (transition) economies. In these countries, growing factors, such as educated workforce, economic oppenness, internal balance, a decrease in the public consumption share, and importation and adaptation of technology, play a decisive role in the selection of an economic policy or development strategy. Finaly, paper theoreticaly evaluates models of development (neoliberal´s and third way´s).
