Organizovani kriminal kao aktuelna bezbednosna pretnja
Get PDFScientific and professional community, and political subjects, both at national and at the international level have a unique position that organized crime is now one of the most dangerous security threats. However, such consent does not exist in terms of conceptual determination, identification, dimensions and of choice of methods to counter organized crime. The first part of this article describes the main trends in the conceptual definition of organized crime, social and political context of the use of this term and the subjects who have contributed to it becoming one of the main concepts of modern scientific and professional discussions about crime. The second part indicates the dynamics of organized crime as a security threat in the territory of Europe, and the last part presents and analyzes the development of organized crime in Serbia and attitudes of scientists and experts, political entities and state bodies and institutions towards this phenomenon.Naučna i stručna javnost, ali i politički subjekti, kako na nacionalnom tako i na međunarodnom planu, imaju jedinstven stav da organizovani kriminal danas predstavlja jednu od najozbiljnijih bezbednosnih pretnji. Međutim, takva saglasnost ne postoji u pogledu pojmovnog određivanja, identifikovanja, razmera i izbora metoda za suprotstavljanje organizovanom kriminalu. U prvom delu rada predstavljeni su osnovni trendovi u pojmovnom definisanju organizovanog kriminala, društveni i politički kontekst upotrebe ovog pojma i akteri koji su doprineli da on postane jedan od glavnih koncepata savremene naučne i stručne diskusije o kriminalu. Drugi deo rada ukazuje na dinamiku razvoja organizovanog kriminala kao bezbednosne pretnje na području Evrope, a poslednji deo prikazuje i analizira razvoj organizovanog kriminala u Srbiji i odnos naučne i stručne javnosti, političkih subjekata i državnih organa i institucija prema ovom fenomenu
Društvo znanja i moderni menadžment
Get PDFIt is the intention of this paper to provide a critical analysis and exploration of the very topical phenomena of 'knowledge society', 'knowledge labour', and 'knowledge worker', and based on this, attempt to define their essence and their relationship in a multidisciplinary framework. Formed within the disciplines of economics and management, these phenomena imply a strong relationship between knowledge, education, and economy in social development projections, which points to important andragogical implications in this context, both implicity and explicitly articulated in management scholarship. In order to provide conditions for successful learning of employees during their entire professional and life span, theoreticians of contemporary management, similarly to an andragogical approach, are realising the need for the reform of formal education (school) as well, axiomatically emphasising the need for continuing training, in other words, a need for continuing lifelong education and learning, as well as for enabling these needs to be met. The results of critical consideration of these phenomena can contribute to strengthening multidisciplinary theoretical basis of hypothetical empirical research in the areas of knowledge society and contemporary management, and with an andragogical orientation.Namera autora ovog rada je da kritički analizira i prouči vrlo aktuelne fenomene - 'društvo znanja', 'rad znanjem' i 'radnik znanja' - da i na toj osnovi pokuša da definiše njihovu suštinu i međusobni odnos u multidisciplinarnim okvirima. Nastali u ekonomiji i menadžmentu, ti fenomeni impliciraju čvrstu povezanost znanja, obrazovanja i ekonomije u projekcijama društvenog razvoja, što ukazuje na značajne andragoške implikacije u tom kontekstu, koje su eksplicitno i implicitno artikulisane u literaturi iz oblasti menadžmenta. Da bi obezbedili uslove za uspešno učenje zaposlenih tokom celog radnog i životnog veka, teoretičari modernog menadžmenta bliski andragoškom pristupu uviđaju i potrebu reformisanja formalnog obrazovanja (škole), aksiomatski naglašavajući potrebu za kontinuiranom obukom, odnosno potrebu za kontinuiranim doživotnim obrazovanjem i učenjem, i omogućavanje njihovog zadovoljavanja. Rezultati kritičkog sagledavanja tih fenomena mogu doprineti osnaživanju multidisciplinarne teorijske osnove eventualnih andragoški orijentisanih empirijskih istraživanja u domenima društva znanja i modernog menadžmenta

Get PDFTerrorism and armed insurgency are specific types of complex and politically motivated violence, and may be used individually or combined to achieve various political objectives. The fact that they are in the middle of the spectrum of conflict (between classical crime, on one hand, and armed/war conflicts, on the other hand), is the key reason for frequent overlapping of competences and responsibilities of the military and the police in managing the crises caused by these phenomena. In addition that, as regards after-effects they cause, both terrorism and armed insurgency are crisis situations per se, these types of political violence often cause the crises of crisis management too. The paper explains the nature and characteristics of the mentioned crises, as well as the impact of erasing the boundaries between security and defense on the distribution of competences and responsibilities in countering terrorist and insurgent crises. The role of the military in managing these crises is described through a system of command and control, with consideration of specific features and tasks at different levels of the crises management. Finally, the paper provides an analysis of functional needs and capabilities of the Serbian Armed Forces in the execution of anti-terrorist and counterinsurgency tasks in accordance with the strategic, doctrinal and other normative starting points, as well as the EU and NATO standards.Terorizam i oružana pobuna predstavljaju specifične vrste složenog i politički motivisanog nasilja i mogu se koristiti pojedinačno ili kombinovano u ostvarivanju različitih političkih ciljeva. Činjenica da se nalaze u sredini spektra sukoba (između klasičnog kriminala, s jedne strane, i oružanih - ratnih sukoba, s druge strane), ključni je razlog čestog preklapanja nadležnosti i odgovornosti vojske i policije u upravljanju krizama izazvanim tim fenomenima. Pored toga što, po posledicama koje izazivaju, i terorizam i oružana pobuna predstavljaju krizne situacije pert se, te vrste političkog nasilja često uzrokuju i krize upravljanja kriznim situacijama. U radu su objašnjeni priroda i karakteristike navedenih kriza, kao i uticaj brisanja granice između bezbednosti i odbrane na raspodelu nadležnosti i odgovornosti u suprotstavljanju terorističkim i pobunjeničkim krizama. Uloga vojske u upravljanju ovim krizama biće opisana kroz sistem komandovanja i rukovođenja, uvažavanjem specifičnosti i zadataka na različitim nivoima upravljanja ovim krizama. Na kraju, analiziraju se funkcionalne potrebe i mogućnosti Vojske Srbije u izvršavanju protivterorističkih i protivpobunjeničkih zadataka u skladu sa strateškim, doktrinarnim i drugim normativnim polazištima, kao i standardima EU i NATO
A new cold war or continuation of the old one
Get PDFAfter the end of World War II a new era started in international relations. With the defeat of Nazism, fascism and Japanese militarism a decisive role in the creation of this new era played he members of the winning coalition - the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. However, the character of international political relations of the second half of the 20th century was essentially determined by the nature of the relationship between the two super-powers: the USA and the USSR. The deterioration of relations between these two forces started after the Soviet government had taken certain steps in Poland, Iran, Greece and Turkey. These moves were interpreted by the Americans as an attempt to extend the hitherto mutually recognized sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. Russia today believes that the red line has been crossed in Syria, although some dissatisfaction was also shown by Russia on account of the events taking place in Iraq and Libya. Due to conflicting conceptions of foreign policy of the USA and the USSR (the former USSR) and contemporary Russia and the measures taken in order to materialize these policies, strictly in accordance with their own interests, there has been a permanent tension on the international political scene. One gets the impression that the current events represent a sort of closing of the circle and return to the starting positions characteristic of the period before the Second World War
Klimatske promene i nacionalna odbrana
Get PDFClimate change, as one of the greatest challenges facing the contemporary society, continues to attract the attention of both political and scientific community for a rather long time. The variability of climate change consequences, as well as their effects on the environment and humanity, are on the agenda of most international conferences, and discussions on possible strategies for reducing their impact have been held both at national and international levels. However, most of these discussions are restricted mainly to the effects of climate change caused in the environment and, in this framework, to the effects that such changes might have on people's lives in terms of availability of basic supplies and resources. It had been rather long before the consideration of the impact of climate change exceeded the scope of environmental study, and in recent years the awareness of the impacts of climate change on the organization and functioning of national defense, especially in developed countries, has significantly increased. The changed nature of threats poses high standards before systems of defense in terms of capacities and capabilities for providing an effective response. The fact that climate change is affecting different segments of human civilization, which ultimately has an impact on the fulfillment of the mission of defense, necessarily imposes the need to put more efforts in addressing this issue in the future. Therefore, this paper aims, by considering some of the dominant climate change tendencies, to explore their impact on the functioning of the defense in the changing environmental conditions.Klimatske promene, kao jedan od najvećih izazova sa kojim se suočava savremeno društvo, već duže vreme ne prestaju da zaokupljaju pažnju, kako političke, tako i naučne javnosti. Varijabilnost posledica klimatskih promena, kao i njihovi efekti na životnu sredinu i čovečanstvo, nalaze se na agendi većine međunarodnih skupova, a diskusije o mogućim strategijama za redukciju njihovog uticaja vode se, kako na nacionalnom, tako i na međunarodnom nivou. Ipak, većina ovakvih diskusija ograničavala se pretežno na efekte koje klimatske promene izazivaju u životnoj sredini i, u okviru toga, na efekte koje takve promene mogu imati na život ljudi u smislu dostupnosti osnovnih namirnica i resursa. Prošlo je dosta vremena dok razmatranje posledica klimatskih promena nije izašlo iz okvira studija zaštite životne sredine, a u poslednjih nekoliko godina posebno je evidentan porast svesti o uticaju klimatskih promena na organizovanje i funkcionisanje nacionalne odbrane, posebno u razvijenim zemljama. Promenjena priroda pretnji postavlja pred sistem odbrane visoke standarde u pogledu kapaciteta i sposobnosti za efikasan odgovor na njih, a činjenica da klimatske promene pogađaju različite segmente ljudske civilizacije, što u krajnjoj liniji ima uticaja na ispunjavanje misije odbrane, nužno nameće potrebu da se ovoj problematici ubuduće posveti više pažnje. Zato, ovaj rad ima za cilj da, razmatranjem nekih od dominantnih trendova u kretanju klimatskih promena, analizira njihov uticaj na funkcionisanje odbrane u promenjenim ambijentalnim uslovima
Survival in an "all boys club": Policewomen in Serbia
No full textThe paper is based on the results of the first qualitative research focusing on the position of policewomen in Serbia. The research was conducted from June to August 2011 on a sample of 30 policewomen of various standings as working police officers; it took into account the types of roles held, the police schools they finished, their professional experience and the size of the police organizations with which they were employed. The core questions in the analysis related to policewomen's experiences while completing their education, during the hiring process and while carrying out their police duties, as well as regarding possibilities for promotion. Although considerable improvement was noted regarding the status of women in the process of police education, most participants in the research had negative experience in the course of finding a job; they also experienced limitations with regard to their promotion as well as various sorts of harassment at work.
