  Those development approaches that support social inclusion, exploitation of endogenous
  resources and community development may be an alternative, and can offer new opportunities
  for the economically and socially disadvantaged rural areas and for peripheral settlements
  that have missed the mainstream of development. The new rural paradigm, and the related
  regional development approaches, such as marketing-oriented settlement development, point to
  a new community-based trend, where places, local communities get a more important role, the
  function of local management changes and endogenous factors become the main resource. The
  communication activity and positioning practice becomes more important.

  Child protection has changed in important ways on international level in recent years. Child protection as social institution adapts to and follows social change. Global competitions, mobility
  of capital and workforce, acceleration of economic processes and interdependence of national
  economies, and the economic crises of 2007 has their impact on the operation and workings of
  welfare systems. This study examines the trends and tendencies in international child protection practice since the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, what type of child protection
  orientations can be distinguished, what kind of characteristics can be described and which way
  seems to emerge—as a common challenge—in general in the field of the state’s child protection
  activities. The study draws attention to the importance of some topics in international discourse, such as complex needs of the clients, importance of partnerships, support of parenthood and a
  range of professional skills and competences to achieve these goals.
