Položka Drivers and barriers of intermunicipal cooperation in local service delivery(Springer Nature : Londýn, 2026) Mikušová Meričková, Beáta; Jakuš Muthová, Nikoleta; Nemec, Juraj; Plaček, MichalSlovakia, like several other countries, has a highly fragmented system of local self-government. According to theoretical expectations, small municipalities with only a few hundred inhabitants often lack sufficient internal capacity to deliver local public services within their responsibilities (in-house production), especially when the services are complex and require specialised expertise. In cases when externalising service delivery (contracting out) fails, intermunicipal cooperation becomes a logical solution. Existing data suggest that intermunicipal cooperation may represent the lowest-cost delivery method for certain local public services. The goal of this paper is to identify the drivers and barriers of IMC in local public service delivery in Slovakia. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey and are used to document the extent to which intermunicipal cooperation is utilised, to compare associated costs, and to identify the drivers, barriers, and key benefits of intermunicipal cooperation in service delivery. Our findings suggest that economic and political-administrative barriers have a more substantial influence on intermunicipal cooperation decisions than legal-institutional constraints. While municipalities operate under similar external legal and administrative frameworks, it is their internal capacity, local political culture, and transaction cost-related considerations that most significantly distinguish cooperating from non-cooperating municipalities.Položka Green public procurement: Are Slovak firms ready?(ReSocEM : Valencia, 2025) Murray Svidroňová, Mária; Nemec, Juraj; Žigová, NikolaThis paper deals with the issue of green public procurement as a modern and optional tool of environmental policy. Given that public procurement accounts for 13% to 20% of global GDP, it is not surprising that nations are now seeking methods to use public procurement procedures not only as an efficient public purchasing tool but also as a tool for sustainable development and a catalyst for innovation in both the public and private sectors (Lember et al., 2014, Zipperer, 2019). Alkadry et al. (2019) pointed out that by integrating social, economic, and environmental considerations into its procedures, sustainable public procurement can be a crucial instrument for accomplishing the overall sustainability of human development. One particular element of sustainable public procurement is green public procurement (Brammer and Walker, 2011; Grandia et al., 2020). Dimand et al (2023) stated that green public procurement (GPP) is specific in the sense that more than 40% of the total carbon footprint of organizations is associated with procurement, which shows that green procurement practices are a crucial factor in responding to climate change and other environmental challenges.Položka Zelené verejné obstarávanie na Slovensku: verejná politika verzus prax(Vysoká škola Ambis : Praha, 2025) Nemec, Juraj; Mikušová Meričková, Beáta; Murray Svidroňová, Mária; Žigová, NikolaSlovakia is one of the countries where green procurement is part of the legislative process; however, despite the proclamations, its current level of use is minimal and does not correspond to the objectives set in the existing policy documents. The aim of this article is to document the main factors responsible for the fact that green procurement policies are not sufficiently implemented. The results show that the main limiting factor is the bureaucratic administrative culture characterized by an effort to minimize risk. This culture is, to a certain extent, “forced” by multiple problematic aspects of the public procurement process in Slovakia, in particular the way the control system works.
