    No full text
    У овом раду аутори износе резултате истраживања о ставовима студентске популације у Србији у вези са коришћењем алата на друштвеним мрежама као средстава политичког ангажмана. У тексту је представљен сегмент ширег истраживања о политичком комуницирању младих у Србији, вршеног у оквиру теорије користи и задовољства. Резултати истраживања показују да алати на друштвеним мрежама не доприносе политичком ангажовању младих у онлајн сфери. Аутори интерпретирају резултате у контексту односа политичког комуницирања и моћи, указујући на одсуство напора младих у Србији ка стицању политичког субјективитета и персуазивног деловања на окружење.In this paper, the authors present the research results about the attitudes of the student population in Serbia regarding the use of social media tools as instruments of political engagement. The text presents a segment of a broader study of political communication of young people in Serbia, conducted within the benefit concept. The research results show that social media tools do not contribute to the political engagement of young people in online sphere. The authors interpret the results in the context of political communication and power, indicating the absence of efforts by young people in Serbia to acquire political subjectivity and persuasive action in the environment

    U ovom članku autor analizira strateške izbore partnerstva Srbije nakon okončanja Hladnog rata 1989. godine ponajpre u okviru Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije (do 1992), a zatim i u bivšoj Saveznoj Republici Jugoslaviji (1992–2003) i nekadašnjoj Državnoj zajednici Srbija i Crna Gora (2003–2006). Za razliku od svih država svog okruženja, Srbija nije odabrala predominantno strateško partnerstvo sa Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, ocenjuje autor, što je uticalo na njenu oslabljenu međunarodnu poziciju posebno u etapi raspada Jugoslavije (1992–1999), ali i u kasnijem razdoblju. U periodu od 2000–2004. godine Srbija nije, kako se očekivalo, ustanovila strateško partnerstvo sa SAD, već se, naprotiv, bavila predominantno „tehničkim” pitanjima za poboljšanje bilateralnih odnosa. Umesto toga od 2006. godine, nakon obnove pune srpske državnosti, postepeno je opet napravljen zaokret u odnosu na Zapad, te je Srbija u ovom razdoblju zaključila sedam strateških partnerstava i to sa Kinom (2009), Rusijom (2013), Ujedinjenim Arapskim Emiratima (2013) i Azerbejdžanom (2013). Takođe, zaključena su partnerstva i sa Italijom (2010), Francuskom (2011) i Grčkom (2019).In this article, the author analyzed Serbia’s strategic choices of partnership after the end of the Cold War in 1989, primarily within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (until 1992), and then in the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992–2003) and the former State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (2003–2006). The author concluded that unlike all the countries in its surroundings, Serbia did not choose a predominantly strategic partnership with the United States, which has influenced its weakened international position, especially during the breakup of Yugoslavia (1992–1999), but also later. In the period 2000-2004, Serbia did not establish a strategic partnership with the United States as expected, but it rather addressed predominantly technical issues to improve bilateral relations. However, since 2006, after the restoration of full Serbian statehood, a reversal has been gradually made in relation to the West, and during this period Serbia concluded seven strategic partnerships with Russia (2013), China (2009), the United Arab Emirates (2013) and Azerbaijan (2013). Moreover, Serbia’s strategic partnership with Italy (2010), France (2011) and Greece (2019) was established. Finally, the author concluded that Serbia’s current geopolitical surroundings with US strategic partners indicate the need to rethink and redefine relations between official Washington and Belgrade at a time when many more regional relations and problems remain unresolved

    Towards the existentialist turn in IR: introduction to the symposium on anxiety

    This symposium is a follow-up to the 2019 CEEISA/ISA conference ‘International Relations in the Age of Anxiety’ held at the Faculty of Political Science, University of Belgrade, Serbia, in June 2019. The central piece in the symposium is the keynote address by Bahar Rumelili on the untapped potential of existentialism in IR followed by highly engaged responses by Felix Berenskötter, Karl Gustafsson, Brent Steele and Andreja Zevnik. In this introduction we first describe the context in which we organised the conference and our motivations to choose the topic of the age of anxiety. We also reflect on how the global pandemic, which erupted in January 2020, made our topic more relevant than ever before. We then briefly introduce each piece and discuss what we see as the key questions they raise

    Медији, традиционално, имају значајну улогу у изборном процесу сваке земље. Овај рад ће се бавити анализом нормативног оквира медија у изборном про- цесу од успостављања вишепартијског изборног система Републике Србије до данас. Предмет првог дела рада биће медијски и изборни закони, као и реформе правила регулисања медија током три деценије вишестраначких избора у Србији. Предмет анализе другог дела рада биће регулаторни оквир за некадашњу државну телевизију, а данас јавни сервис, у изборном процесу. Приказаћемо какав правни оквир је постојао за државну телевизију, те на који начин је реформисан након трансформације у јавни сервис. Биће упоређени законски оквири за улогу државног/јавног сервиса у избор- ним процесима и пракса (не)примењивања тог закона. Регулаторна тела надлежна за мониторинг примене закона и понашање политичких субјеката у медијима, као и рад медија током изборног процеса, биће предмет разматрања трећег дела чланка. Посебан акценат ће бити стављен на (не)ефикасност рада Републичке агенције за електронске медије (РЕМ) и његову улогу у изборним процесима у Србији. Последњи одељак ће се бавити анализом примене медијских, изборних и других релевантних закона који се тичу улоге медија у изборним процесима на различитим нивоима одржавања избора од 1990. до 2019. године.The media, traditionally, occupy a significant role in the electoral process. This paper analyses the legal framework that has governed the participation of media in covering the elections since the establishment of the multi-party electoral system in Serbia. The opening section of the paper presents media and electoral regulation and their successive reforms during the three decades of multi-party elections. The second part analyses the framework regarding the work of the former state television and the present public broadcasting service during the election process. A comparative approach illustrates how different policies regulated the coverage of elections by the state television and its successor, the public broadcasting service, while taking into account the various degrees to which these regulations were effectively implemented. The regulatory agencies responsible for monitoring the application of the law and the conduct of political entities in the media are the subjects of the third part of the paper. Special emphasis is placed on the (in)effectiveness of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM) and its role in the elections in Serbia. The final section deals with the analysis of the implementation of relevant laws concerning the role of the media during different types of electoral cycles from 1990 to 2019

    Munkov "Krik" u svetlu filozofije egzistencije

    Get PDF
    Da bi pokazao da umetnost ne zaostaje za filozofijom u sadržaju istine, autor analizira Munkovo remek-delo Кrik. Služeći se temeljnim pojmovima fi- lozofije egzistencije, autor pokazuje da je u Кriku upečatljivo prikazana situa- cija metafizičkog beskućništva modernog čoveka. Usamljenost i strepnja čoveka lišenog smisla, svesnog svoje smrtnosti, dovode do krika, koji je u isti mah pro- test protiv bezličnog sveta i vapaj za pomoć. Iako pre svega izražava egzisten- cijalnu krizu savremenog čoveka, Кrik svedoči takođe o univerzalnoj čovekovoj si- tuaciji, o odnosu između apsurda i smisla. Кriza nije samo opasnost nego i šansa. Samo onaj ko je intenzivno iskusio apsurdnost u stanju je da uspostavi vlasti- ti egzistencijalni smisao.To show that art does not fall short in comparison with philosophy regarding the truth content, the author analyses Munch’s masterpiece The Scream. Using the funda- mental concepts of the existential philosophy, the author demonstrates that The Scream suggestively shows the metaphysical homelessness of modern man. Loneliness and anxi- ety of a man deprived of meaning, aware of his mortality, lead to the scream which is the same time a protest against the impersonal world and a cry for help. Although it primari- ly expresses the existential crisis of modern man, The Scream also testifies about the uni- versal human condition, about the relation between absurd and meaning. The crisis is not only a danger but also a chance. Only one who has intensely experienced the absurd is able to establish one’s own existential meaning

    A Battle for Sovereignty: Who Owns Cultural Heritage in Kosovo?

    No full text
    This article examines the role, status and perceptions of the Serbian cultural heritage in Kosovo from both Kosovo Albanian and Serbian perspectives. The analysis focuses on two cases, which attracted particular resistance on each of the two sides: the passing of legislation in the Kosovar parliament in 2012 that aimed to protect Serbian cultural heritage and the 2015 unsuccessful Kosovo bid for unesco membership. Both moments demonstrate how cultural heritage is primarily approached from the statehood perspective and used to additionally deepen inter-ethnic distances. The authors shed more light on the discrepancies between the international peacebuilding efforts and the internationally imposed legal framework, challenging the reduction of the peacebuilding efforts to institutional design, while dominant discourses of both Serbian and Albanian elites essentially deepen the enmity and serve as resistance mechanisms to the international peacebuilding strategies

    Regionalna saradnja na Balkanskom poluostrvu početkom XX i XXI veka: sličnosti i razlike

    No full text
    U ovom radu autori ističu glavne tokove nastanka i razvoja regionalnih inicijativa na Balkanskom poluostrvu s početka XX veka (Balkanski savez i Mala Antanta), kao i kakve su sličnosti i razlike sa današnjim dominantnim oblicima multilateralne saradnje u ovom delu Evrope (pre svega Savet za regionalnu saradnju, Berlinski proces i ‘Otvoreni Balkan’). Stoga će autori ukazati kakvi su međunarodni uticaji na konfiguraciju regionalne saradnje u navedenim vremenskim razdobljima na Balkanskom poluostrvu, kao i koliko složenost odnosa između država regiona i njihovih unutrašnjih prilika utiče na to. Takođe, duboka podeljenost unutar balkanskih društava u istorijskom kontekstu odražava se i na dinamiku regionalne saradnje. S tim u vezi oni ukazuju i na određene sličnosti koje karakterišu same organizacione forme saradnje u regionu Balkana, njihov način rada i unutrašnje procedure početkom ovog i prethodnog veka.The authors of this paper highlight the main trends in the origin and development of regional initiatives in the Balkans since the beginning of the XXI century (the Balkan Pact and the Little Entente), as well as the similarities and differences with today’s dominant forms of multilateral cooperation in this region of Europe (particularly the Regional Cooperation Council, the Berlin Process and the “Open Balkans”). Therefore, the authors will indicate the international influences on the configuration of regional cooperation in the Balkans over the aforementioned periods, as well as how much it is affected by the complexity of relations between the regional states and their internal circumstances. Furthermore, they will discuss how the historical divisions among the Balkan states are reflected in the dynamics of regional cooperation. In this regard, they point out certain parallels between the organizational forms of cooperation in the region, their working methods, and internal procedures around the turn of the century and the previous century

    Antiphon’s political ideas: a reconstruction

    Get PDF
    Rad predstavlja pokušaj da se, uprkos fragmentiranosti i oskudnosti izvora, ocrtaju osnovne karakteristike Antifontove političke misli. Antifont nudi hedonističko shvatanje ljudske prirode, a čovek treba da pronađe način da, okružen životnim teškoćama i obdaren razumom i mogućnošću da raspozna prijatno od neprijatnog, živi najmanje lošim životom. Život u političkim zajednicama dodatno usložnjava ovu situaciju i otkriva napetost između zakona i prirode. Antifont kritikuje zakone zbog njihove neprirodnosti i mogućnosti da nanesu neopravdani bol nevinim ljudima. Ova kritika se odnosi pre svega na zakone u atinskoj demokratiji koji su postepeno potiskivali običajne norme karakteristične za aristokratsku prošlost ovog polisa. Za razliku od (makar nekih) zakona, stari običaji podrazumevali su da je recipročnost neraskidiva od pravičnosti i svoj su izraz pronalazili u principu da treba pomagati prijateljima i nanositi štetu neprijateljima. Moguće je da je Antifont bio pristalica upravo ovakvog viđenja pravičnostiThis paper is an attempt at sketching some basic characteristics of Antiphon’s political thought, even though the primary sources are both lacking and fragmented. It is argued that Antiphon, although having a hedonistic account of human nature, views human condition as very difficult. People, guided by reason and led by their ability to distinguish between the pleasant and the unpleasant, need to find ways to cope with their unfortunate predicament and live least unhappy lives. Living in political communities complicates this situation further and reveals tensions between law and nature. Antiphon criticizes laws, as their incompatibility with nature fuels the tendency to inflict pain on innocent people. This particularly applies to laws in democratic Athens which had suppressed and replaced traditions that were a part of the polis’s aristocratic past. In contrast to (at least some) laws, old traditions saw reciprocity as inextricably linked to justice. An important reflection of this principle was the maxim that one should help friends and harm enemies. It is possible that Antiphon was one of the sophists who supported this particular definition of justice
