Narodni univerziteti u Vojvodini između dva svetska rata (1918-1941)
Get PDFThe work deals with educational-cultural activity of people’s universities in Vojvodina (1918-1941). They were established as secondary or elementary school extensions. These institutions represent a relatively particular type of people’s universities, somewhat different from others in Yugoslavia at the time. They were especially specific for successful organization of Serbo-Croatian language winter courses for adult members of national minorities. They were also focused, more than other similar institutions, on cultural and educational activities in the country. There were approximately 30 people’s universities established in Vojvodina, and they were considered one of the most adequate adult institutions for educational work in agricultural communities.Rad se bavi prosvetnokulturnom delatnošću narodnih univerziteta u Vojvodini (1918-1941). Nastajali su kao ekstenze srednjih i osnovnih škola. Ove ustanove predstavljaju relativno zaseban tip narodnih univerziteta, nešto drugačiji od većine ostalih u Kraljevini SHS - Jugoslaviji. Naročito su specifični po uspešnom organizovanju zimskih tečajeva srpskohrvatskog jezika za odrasle pripadnike nacionalnih manjina. Takođe su, više od drugih sličnih ustanova, bili usmereni ka obrazovnoj delatnosti na selu. Procenjeno je da je na teritoriji današnje Vojvodine bilo oko 30 narodnih univerziteta
Transformacija nacionalne bezbednosti - rezilijentnost u strategijama bezbednosti velikih sila kao odgovor na globalne bezbednosne pretnje
Get PDFAltered nature of security risks and threats created within globalization process new security environment, forcing creators of national security strategies to anticipate the sources of threats and to define appropriate mechanisms for response to different forms of security threats addressed to states and its citizens. The concept of resilience is taken from technical sciences and implemented in the security strategies of great powers as a potential solution for strengthening capacity and system preparedness for responding to threats as well as the rapid recovery, regardless of intelligence analysis and assessment of relevant institutions.Izmenjena priroda bezbednosnih rizika i pretnji oblikovala je tokom procesa globalizacije novo bezbednosno okruženje, primoravši tvorce strategija nacionalne bezbednosti da anticipiraju izvore pretnji i osmisle adekvatne mehanizme za reagovanje na različite oblike ugrožavanja bezbednosti države i njenih građana. Koncept rezilijentnosti preuzet je iz tehničkih nauka i implementiran u strategije bezbednosti velikih sila kao potencijalno rešenje usmereno na jačanje kapaciteta i spremnosti sistema za odgovor na pretnje i rapidni oporavak od istih, bez obzira na obaveštajne analize i procene nadležnih institucija
Национална безбедност Републике Србије у регионалном безбедносном поткомплексу Западни Балкан
Get PDFThe regional security complex theory, at least according to founders of this theoretical approach, can be used at four different levels, and where one of these levels is linked to national security. The subject of this thesis is related to the examination of RSCT cognitiveexplanatory potential in the national security analysis. The main idea that the regional security complex or subcomplex is a relatively good framework for the analysis of the national security of the specific state was questioned in the particular case study which covered the national security of the Republic of Serbia in the Western Balkans subcomplex. Аrguments regarding the adequacy of selected case study is also offered in dissertation. In these paper the RSCT conceptual network was complemented with some of the key concepts in security studies: the concept of national interest, power and strength of the state, and which was also explained why. In the study of was u The documentary material and adapted Nuechterlein matrix were used for analysis of national interest, the CIA world factbook matrix for power of Western Balkans states, and FSI matrix for strength of the states. These findings were used to analyze the security interdependence, respectively regional security dynamics establish by states/unites of WBRSSC. In order to enable comparison of findings and conclusions with original authors, in these research RSCT was used in a way that Buzen and Waever are using this theoretical framework in their papers. As typical for Buzen and Wæver, the probable scenarios of possible transformation of WBRSSC, as well as the presumed effects of external actors were determined in this theses as well. Considering case study the cognitive-explanatory potential of the RSCT in the national security analisys was identified by establishing advantages and disadvantages, and there was also offered recommendations for improvement of this theoretical framework, but also its application in the national security analisysТеорију регионалног безбедносног комплекса је бар према утемељивачима овог теоријског приступа могуће користити на четири различита нивоа, а где се један од нивоа примене доводи у везу са националном безбедношћу. Тема ове дисертације је везана за испитивање сазнајно-експланаторног потенцијала ТРБК у проучавању националне безбедност. Основна идеја, да регионални безбедносни комплекс, односно поткомплекс представља релативно добар оквир за анализу националне безбедности конкретне државе, проверавана је у студији случаја којом је обухваћена национална безбедност Републике Србије у регионалном безбедносном поткомплексу Западни Балкан. У дисертацији је такође понуђена аргументација у вези са адекватношћу одабране студије случаја. Појмовна мрежа ТРБК је за потребе овог истраживања допуњена неким од кључних појмова у студијама безбедности: појмом националног интереса, моћи и снаге државе, а што је такође објашњено и аргументовано у раду. У проучавању националног интереса коришћена је анализа документационе грађе и адаптирана Нектерлајнова матрица, за анализу моћи коришћена је CIA world factbook матрица, док је у анализи снаге западнобалканских држава коришћена FSI матрица. Добијени налази су коришћени у анализи безбедносне међузависности, односно регионалне безбедносне динамике које успостављају државе/јединице РБПКЗБ. ТРБК је коришћена на начин на који Бузен и Вејвер користе овај теоријски оквир у својим радовима, а како би била омогућена компарација налаза и закључака са налазима ових аутора. Својствено Бузену и Вејверу и у овој дисертацији су утврђени вероватни сценарији могућих трансформација Западнобалканског поткомплекса, као и претпостављени утицаји спољних актера. На основу проучене студије случаја утврђен је сазнајно-експланаторни потенцијал ТРБК у проучавању националне безбедности тако што су истакнуте предности и недостаци, али и тако што су понуђене препоруке за унапређење овог теоријског оквира, али и његове примене у проучавању националне безбедност
The relationship between educational level and citizen preparedness to respond to natural disasters
Get PDFThis paper presents the results of quantitative research into the relationship between educational level and preparedness of citizens to respond to a natural disaster caused by the flood. Starting from the local communities in Serbia that are vulnerable to flooding, 19 of them were selected randomly out of 150 municipalities and 23 cities and the city of Belgrade. In survey research conducted in 2015, which included 2,500 respondents, a test strategy in households was applied with the use of a multi-stage random sample. The research results indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between educational level and the following variables: preventive measures; financial funds; engaged in the field; engaged in a reception center; visiting flooded areas; heavy rains; river level rise; and the level of preparedness, supplies in the home; radio-transistor; flashlight; shovel; hack; apparatus for firefighting; supplies in the car; first aid kit in the home and so on. On the other hand, there is no relationship with variables: media reports, information in religious community, on television, education on radio, informal education system. The research results can be used to improve citizen preparedness to respond to disasters caused by flooding. The survey set out recommendations for increasing the level of preparedness to respond in such situations with regard to the educational level of citizens
Nove ruske tehnologije za poboljšanje bezbednosti objekata povišenog rizika
Get PDFThe development of modern advanced technology has contributed to the significant increase in the quality of living, and yet it has brought a number of problems that are difficult to reliably predict and eliminate. Global technogenic danger, which knows for no borders, should be treated as a challenge and an alarm for all national and international institutions which calls for working together to improve the solutions that will ensure the safety of population, facilities, and the planet as a whole. Russiaʼs new solutions applied in automated monitoring, alerting and crisis management can contribute to the joint effort in responding to this challenge. The Russian model is based on the search of a plausible way how to replace the ongoing mostly administrative and regulatory system, primarily dependent on the quality of human resources, by reliable software and technical solutions that will operate independently of the human capabilities and will.Razvoj savremene tehnologije, koji je doprineo značajnom porastu kvaliteta života, doneo je i brojne teškoće koje je teško pouzdano predviđati i eliminisati. Globalnu tehnogenu opasnost, koja ne poznaje državne granice, treba shvatiti kao izazov i poziv svim nacionalnim i međunarodnim institucijama da zajednički konsoliduju rešenja kojima će se obezbediti sigurnost stanovništva, objekata, pa i planete u celini. Nova ruska rešenja u primeni automatizovanog monitoringa, upozoravanja i upravljanja u kriznim situacijama, mogu biti jedan od doprinosa zajedničkim naporima na rešavanju ovih problema. Suština ruskog modela sastoji se u pronalaženju mogućnosti da se dosadašnji, uglavnom administrativno-normativni sistem koji je prevashodno zavisio od kvaliteta i volje 'ljudskog faktora'', zameni pouzdanim programsko-tehničkim rešenjima koja će funkcionisati nezavisno od raspoloženja pa i sposobnosti ljudi
Bezbednost sveta između kraja i povratka istorije
Get PDFGlobalization as a social concept based on the principle of universalism announced the beginning of a new era and a model of international society, which would mean a sort of end of historical cycles. Optimistic faith in progress was one of the driving ideas of this, one of the most popular concepts of the global society. Proponents of globalization have claimed that the triumph of the West in the Cold War competition confirmed the superiority of the liberal model and represented a break with the real political perception of international politics. In this way, as argued, the conditions were created for the societies around the world to start their own reconstruction, creating a global culture and universalization of democratic governance, permanently overcoming war and establishing the lasting peace. The nature and dynamics of relationships in international politics unambiguously confirmed that the social and political reality has not developed as announced by the proponents of globalization, at the beginning of the last decade of the twentieth century. The modern world fell into a time of confusion, uncertainty and insecurity, growing into a global risk society. Strong rapprochement of nations, political communities and cultures and intensifying their interdependence encouraged more intense disagreement, the emergence of new national models, radicalizing definitions of identity to the most devastating forms. Globalization has not transformed the world, and the concept of global governance of the world proved to be a failed attempt, manifesting a variety of system dysfunctions. At the same time, the more pronounced interdependence of contemporary societies, based on the technological achievements of the postindustrial world, has expanded the range of issues that require the global approach.Globalizacija kao društveni koncept koji se temelji na principu univerzalizma najavila je početak novog vremena i začetak jednog modela međunarodnog društva koji će značiti svojevrstan kraj istorijskih ciklusa. Optimistička vera u progres bila je jedna od nosećih ideja tog koncepta, pa je globalizacija postala jedan od najpopularnijih koncepata globalnog društva. Međutim, globalizacija se pokazala kao koncept koji je u najvećoj meri izneverio najavljivana obećanja. Karakter i dinamika odnosa u savremenoj međunarodnoj politici, nedvosmisleno potvrđuju da globalizacija 'ne radi', da jenjava njena snaga i da je sve manje kredibilan koncept uređenja savremenog svetskog društva. Globalni finansijski kolaps koji je pogodio svet 2008. godine predstavlja najuverljiviji pokazatelj da je veći deo globalizacije diskreditovan, a vera u ujedinjeno čovečanstvo je sve manje poželjan koncept. Svet sa globalizacijom nije postao jedan od najboljih od svih mogućih svetova, kako je najavljivano. Mnoštvo sveta našlo se na socijalnom, ekonomskom i političkom bespuću. Pokazalo se da su upravo procesi uspostavljanja svetskog društva koje bi se zasnivalo na liberalnim i demokratskim kvalitetima uveliko uticali na radikalnu desocijalizaciju prostora širom savremenog sveta i dramatičan porast nebezbednosti. Snažne manjkavosti globalnog svetskog poretka intenzivirali su brojne političke, socijalne i verske dezintegrativne procese, pa se ispostavilo da je bila pogrešna najava da je sa globalizacijom otpočela era međunarodnog približavanja. Istovremeno, sve izraženija međuzavisnost savremenih društava, zasnovana na ostvarenjima tehnoloških dometa postindustrijskog društva, proširili su spektar pitanja koja podrazumevaju globalni pristup
Resursi pijaće vode kao izvor izraelsko-arapskih konflikata
Get PDFThe Jordan river basin is a part of the Middle East which has for centuries been a site of great religious, cultural, political and other upheavals. Bearing in mind that the resources of drinking water in this arid region are naturally limited, and that since 1930s there has been a rapid increase in population, expansion of urban areas, agricultural development and increase in industrial production, along with consequences caused by climate change, it is no wonder that limited resources of drinking water are a stumbling block and a source of tension, conflicts and clashes between countries in the region, i.e. Israel on one side, and the Arab states on the other. The paper especially highlights the geographical situation and the condition of drinking water resources in the basin of the Jordan river; factors and actors that jeopardize the drinking water resources; and conflicts and consequences of Israel's hegemony applied in resolving the division of drinking water resources in this basin.Basen reke Jordan predstavlja onaj deo Bliskog istoka koji je tokom vekova bio centar velikih religijskih, kulturnih, političkih i drugih previranja. Imajući u vidu da su resursi pijaće vode u ovom aridnom regionu prirodno ograničeni, a da je od 30-ih godina prošlog veka došlo do ubrzanog porasta populacije, širenja urbanih sredina, razvoja poljoprivredne i uvećanja industrijske proizvodnje, uz posledice izazvane klimatskim promenama, nije čudo što ograničeni resursi pijaće vode predstavljaju kamen spoticanja i izvor tenzija, konflikata i sukoba između država u regionu, odnosno Izraela sa jedne strane i arapskih država sa druge. U radu je posebno naglašen geografski položaj i stanje resursa pijaće vode u basenu reke Jordan, faktori i činioci koji ugrožavaju resurse pijaće vode, konflikti i posledice primene hegemonije Izraela u rešavanju podele resursa pijaće vode u ovom basenu
The state of security of today’s world after 70 years of the United Nations
Get PDFAt a time when the United Nations mark 70 years of its existence, when the leaders of the 193 member states of this world organization adopted, with a lot of faith, a transformative 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world is faced with many difficult challenges to security. Effective indicators of contemporary international security, as well as the challenges, risks and threats that reflect it, show that the security of the modern world has been jeopardized, directly or indirectly, in the highest possible degree, since the end of the Second World War. That is why there is increasing importance of the United Nations, which, with all its drawbacks over the past seventy years, have represented the best model of multilateral cooperation in the field of security and without whose existence the world would have much larger international problems. The efforts this organization makes with the aim to protect and establish peace in the world must be respected, and the contents of the UN General Assembly resolution 59/565 A of 2004, devoted to threats to the international security, should be seen in that light as well
