Overview of the causes of the October revolution through the supplemented analysis of Theda Skocpol
Polazeći od globalnog značaja Oktobarske revolucije kao istorijskog događaja, kao i kompleksnosti društvenih odnosa u takvim okolnostima, cilj rada jeste da se što temeljnije sagledaju korelacije između same revolucije i društvenih okolnosti koje joj prethode. U radu se tumače istorijski podaci i pretresaju glavnim argumenti unutar teorija revolucija. Fokus je na strukturalnim činiocima i analizi koju nudi Teda Skočpol (Theda Skocpol), s naglaskom na ulozi proletarijata. Osnovna teza jeste da je jedan od ključnih uslova (uzroka) postojanje razgranate mreže seoskih komuna i radničkih udruženja, uz dovoljno čvrste veze unutar klasa. Odnosno, nezadovoljstvo ekonomskim stanjem i oslabljenost centralne vlasti ne bi sami po sebi doveli do revolucionarnih dešavanja, kao što se ni udružene aktivnosti proletarijata i lidera opozicionih stranaka ne smeju prenebregnuti.Starting from the global importance of the October Revolution as a historical event, as well as the complexity of social relations in such circumstances, the objective of this paper is to look as thoroughly as possible into the correlations between the Revolution itself and social circumstances that preceded it. The paper interprets historical data and examines the main arguments within theories of revolutions. The focus is on structural factors and the analysis presented by Theda Skocpol, with an additional emphasis on the role of the proletariat. The basic thesis is that one of the key conditions is the existence of branched networking of the peasant communes and workers' associations, with sufficiently strong connections within the classes. That is, discontent with the economic situation and the weakening of the central government would not in themselves lead to revolutionary events, just as joint activities of the proletariat and the leaders of opposition parties should not be neglected
Serbian Constitutional Court – (In)dependent Protector of the Rule of Law and Human Rights?
This paper is provoked by Rosalind Dixon's book on Responsible Judicial Review and the arguments expressed by the author. The paper deals with the independence of the Constitutional Court in Serbia, as the most important requirement for a responsive judicial review. The main premise is that because of the appointment of judges, almost unknown in professional circles, and their servile relationship with other branches of government, the Constitutional Court acts as a guardian of controversial executive policies. The author briefly describes the origins of the Serbian Constitutional Court and the level of its independence. Some relevant cases are presented that demonstrate the existence of several strategies applied by judges which support the thesis that judges allow political and other factors to influence their decisions. The author also presents human rights cases that illustrate a very formalistic approach of the Court that influences its own legitimacy and lack of support

Remarks on early medieval Alemannic codes
The paper deals with the age and the origin of the early medieval Alemannic common law, the fragments of the Pactus Alamannorum and the text of the Lex Alamannorum, which has an exceptionally rich manuscript tradition. After examining the common roots of the regulations and the prologues of the Lex Alamannorum and the Lex Baiuvariorum, and the influence of Frankish capitularia on the Alemannic leges, a possible answer to the question regarding the date and the legislator will be presented

Social contract theory of Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau: United or opposed?
Tomas Hobs i Žan-Žak Ruso spadaju među najznačajnije novovekovne političke filozofe, koji svoje teorije zasnivaju na ideji društvenog ugovora. Oba autora polaze od prirodne jednakosti svih ljudi i nesigurnosti prirodnog stanja, ali na prvi pogled završavaju u sasvim drugačijim perspektivama o suverenitetu i odnosima unutar političkog društva. Ruso insistira na zajedničkom suverenitetu svih građana, koji imaju zagarantovan ekonomski minimum, neotuđivo ovlašćenje donošenja zakona i brige o opštoj volji, pri čemu svi zajedno istovremeno konstituišu i one nad kojima se vlada. Hobs, sa druge strane, nalaže da narod bira suverena koji se nalazi uvek u prirodnom stanju i mora da ima veliku moć kako bi mogao da ispuni svoju ulogu zaštitnika. Ipak, u radu se iznose argumenti u prilog tome da njihove pozicije zapravo nisu toliko različite, imajući na umu Rusoovu izvršnu vlast i mudre zakonotvorce, a kod Hobsa široko postavljena prava podanika. Teza rada jeste da kod obojice narod autorizuje i nadzire, a neko drugi vlada.Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau are among the most important modern political philosophers, who base their theories on the idea of social contract. Both authors start from the natural equality of all people and the uncertainty of the natural state, but at first glance they end up with completely different perspectives on sovereignty and relations within a political society. Rousseau insists on the common sovereignty of all citizens, who have a guaranteed economic minimum and the inalienable authority to enact laws and care for the general will, by which they all together simultaneously constitute those who are governed. Hobbes, on the other hand, dictates that the people elect a sovereign who is always in their natural state and must have great power in order to fulfil their role as protector. Yet, the paper argues that their positions are not really that different, bearing in mind Rousseau's executive power and wise legislators, and Hobbes' strong rights of subjects. The thesis of the paper is that in both of them the people authorize and supervise, and someone else rules
The (un)certain future of tax sparing credit in international tax treaty law
Tax sparing clause emerged in double taxation treaties 63 years ago. Despite criticisms, it can presently be found in about 15% of all treaties, with Serbia having this clause in 46% of its double taxation agreements. It is the authors' view that this provision represents a confirmation of the right to introduce tax incentives as a part of a country's right to tax, while pointing out the necessity of preventing abuses of the provision. After conducting an analysis of the effects of tax sparing on foreign direct investments in Serbia and outgoing investments of Serbia's residents, the remaining portion of the paper is dedicated to exploration of the interaction between GloBE Income Inclusion Rule and tax sparing. Their incompatibility, which implies that tax sparing would be annulled under BEPS 2.0, may be overcome via a specific carve-out, but at present such initiative is not endorsed by Inclusive Framework on BEPS
