Ines Matić Matešković

Associate Professor Ines Matić Matešković serves at the University of Rijeka's Faculty of Law as Vice Dean for Business Relations and faculty member of the Department of Roman Law. Her scholarly work bridges ancient Roman legal traditions with contemporary legal frameworks through meticulous analysis of medieval statutes from Croatia's Adriatic regions.

Her research centers on Roman legal continuity in medieval Croatian statutes, particularly examining debt security instruments in Dalmatian, Istrian, and Kvarner legal texts. Key specialties include:

• Evolution of antichresis and debt enforcement mechanisms
• Roman law influences on medieval Adriatic jurisprudence
• Historical development of insolvency and bankruptcy concepts
• Legal analysis of medieval wine trade regulations and vineyard protection
• Diachronic study of price control systems from Diocletian's Edict to modern economies

Recent publications reveal a pronounced focus on 2024-2025 on higher education's role in public administration competency development and modern Croatian university funding models within European frameworks. Her historico-legal methodology consistently connects ancient legal principles to current administrative challenges, notably through examination of the 'salus populi' doctrine in pandemic contexts and evolution of ombudsman institutions from Roman tribunes.

Dr. Matić Matešković secured Croatian Science Foundation project 6558 (Business and Personal Insolvency–the Ways to Overcome Excessive Indebtedness) and contributes significantly to doctoral education at Rijeka's Law Faculty as evidenced by her 2018 publication on new PhD graduates. Her supervisory role extends to guiding research on Roman legal principles in Croatian judicial practices and medieval statute interpretations.
