Trgovina ljudima i ljudska (ne)bezbednost
Get PDFPredmet istraživanja ovog rada jeste uticaj trgovine ljudima na ljudsku bez-
bednost. Osnovni metodološki postupak je pregled naučne literature. Imajući u vidu
kompleksnost predmeta istraživanja, pregledani su naučni radovi iz različitih disciplina.
Cilj rada jeste da prikaže ključna teorijska promišljanja i nalaze empirijskih istraživa-
nja o mehanizmima uticaja trgovine ljudima na različite dimenzije ljudske bezbednosti:
ličnu bezbednost, zdravstvenu bezbednost, bezbednost ishrane, ekonomsku bezbednost,
političku bezbednost i bezbednost zajednice. Nalazi postojećih istraživanja pokazuju da
trgovina ljudima ozbiljno ugrožava sve domene ljudske bezbednosti i da se negativne
posledice ne ograničavaju samo na fizički integritet i zdravlje žrtava. Po izlasku iz lanca
trgovine, žrtve se često susreću sa ekonomskom nebezbednošću i stigmom zajednice, što
otežava njihovu reintegraciju i stvara pogodno tlo za njihovu ponovnu viktimizaciju.
Otuda, imajući u vidu dalekosežne posledice trgovine u svim sferama života, može se
zaključiti da je trgovina ljudima značajan uzrok nebezbednosti ljudi
What determines small farms’ succession patterns in Eastern European emerging markets? Exploring the role of embeddedness in social networks
Get PDFPurpose – The interactive relationships of farmers with institutions and other individuals create the context of
succession intention – “farm embeddedness”. This context shapes in long-term self-efficacy of farmers. The
main goal of this paper is to study the contextual drivers of the choice of succession paths in small-scale farms
which dominate in Eastern European countries. The studied pathways, ordered by farmers’ self-efficacy are “no
succession”, “conditional succession”, “unconditional internalised succession” and “unconditional externalised
succession”.
Design/methodology/approach – We used a sample of 1,683 small farms from three Eastern European
emerging markets: Romania, Moldova and Serbia. The likelihood of choosing a given succession path is
analysed using a multinomial logit model; contextual drivers of succession are selected based on the theory of
embeddedness.
Findings – We found that more-educated and more-efficient small-scale farmers are less likely to pass on their
farms because of a kind of “glass ceiling”, so they do not want such a difficult future for their children. The most
important determinant of unconditional/internalised succession is the successor formation through “training on
the farm”. Some formal institutions operating in the agricultural sector hinder self-efficacy and thus
unconditional succession.
Originality/value – Most of the papers lack a theoretical background while demonstrating that economic
drivers are crucial to succession. The embeddedness theory argues that economic activities are always anchored
in a social structure. We contribute to this theory by showing that the embeddedness in social networks is more
important than economic factors when smallholders transfer their farms to successors in post-socialist countries.
In addition, we attempt to identify which particular types of social networks are most relevant to the multi-stage
process of farm transfer, and we outline several transfer scenarios using the concept of self-efficacy
Making a comprehensive arms control agreement for Europe in times of crisis: rationale, structure and outcomes
Get PDFThe war in Ukraine reflects the culmination of two international crises
– one of the European security architecture and the other of strategic
stability. This paper aims to examine how these crises influence the
feasibility of future arms control in Europe. The authors claim that the
current situation is an opportunity for a comprehensive arms control
agreement for Europe. They begin by providing a theoretical framework
of international crises and explain the current state of the arms control
regime. Through a content and discourse analysis, they consider the
positions of the main actors in relation to the key elements of future arms control and, based on this, by using a comparative method, consider
the possible common ground that would serve as the bedrock for a new
European comprehensive arms control regime. The article concludes that
by going comprehensive, arms control can provide grounds for trade-
offs between the parties, settling most issues of concern in a multi-track
process
Political and Institutional Stability as a Prerequisite for North Macedonia to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations
Get PDFSmall states, such as North Macedonia, in contemporary and
globalized international relations, face security challenges and
threats that cannot be managed by traditional national defense and
security infrastructure. In fact, small states in contemporary
international relations face risks that require strong institutional
frameworks, political stability and predictable and comprehensive
strategies, instead of military doctrines, war tactics and huge
military forces with heavy weapons. Pervasive corruption,
institutional weakness and political instability are the leading
internal security challenges for transitional and small states, such
as North Macedonia. In this context, on the case study of North
Macedonia, this paper will analyze peace, justice and strong
institutions, as a prerequisite for internal political and social
stability, as well as an important instrument in the process of
realizing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). This study will show the interconnection and conditionality
between the stable political and institutional framework and the
process of realization of the aforementioned global goals.
Specifically, using the example of North Macedonia, the study will
show that the Macedonian authorities must include individuals,
community, internal and transnational security, and
multidimensional factors, including the environment, global
security, and non–state actors, as a focal point in establishing a new
approach for effectively dealing with contemporary and emerging
global, regional and local challenges, including achieving the UN
SDGs
Serbia’s cooperation with the Visegrad Group states after 2000
Get PDFAfter the political changes in Serbia at the end of 2000, Serbia, then within the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, began to renew its bilateral and multilateral
relations. It was logical that the priority countries with which Serbia wants
to restore relations should be neighboring countries and countries in the
immediate vicinity. That is why the countries of the Visegrad Group were an
important partner for Serbia. In addition, the countries of the Visegrad Group
had already entered the transition process, and had a similar political legacy.
The experiences of the countries of the Visegrad Group and their capacities
for cooperation were important for Serbia, where the transition process has
just begun, with Serbia’s determination to embark on the path of joining
the European Union. By the year 2000, the countries of the Visegrad Group
had already taken significant steps on their way to joining the European
Union, and had a significant place in regional initiatives. By cooperating
with them, Serbia was able to speed up its process of political reforms, and
accordingly there was a need to join regional initiatives, which it could more
easily realize in cooperation with these countries. By establishing cooperation
with the countries of the Visegrad Group, Serbia took one of the first and
most important steps in its change of foreign policy direction after internal
political changes

Get PDFMišljenje broj 3 KVES i etički kodeksi: kako izgleda idealni sudija = Opinion no. 3 of the CCJE and codes of judical ethics:What does an ideal judge look like?
No full textU ovom članku, autor analizira etičke standarde i
ulogu etičkih kodeksa u sudijskoj profesiji, sa posebnim osvrtom
na Mišljenje broj 3 Konsultativnog veća evropskih sudija (KVES).
Etički kodeksi služe kao osnova za regulisanje ponašanja sudija,
ali ne predstavljaju sveobuhvatna pravila već smernice za
etičko postupanje. Rad naglašava važnost samoregulisanja
sudija i razlikovanje između etičkih i disciplinskih pravila.
Analiziraju se ključni etički principi kao što su nezavisnost,
nepristrasnost, integritet i kompetentnost, koji su od
suštinskog značaja za očuvanje poverenja javnosti u pravosudni
sistem. Poseban akcenat je stavljen na ulogu sudija u društvu
i značaj stalne edukacije kako bi se osigurala primena najviših
etičkih standarda. Rad istražuje preporuke Mišljenja broj
3 KVES, koje su usmerene na jačanje sudijske etike kroz uvođenje
kodeksa i mehanizama za nadzor i sprovođenje etičkih principa
na evropskom nivou, ali se i osvrće na neke elemente koji nisu
elementi sudijske etike u užem smislu, poput otvorenosti uma.
Ideal „idealnog sudije” kao večita težnja u nastojanju obavljanja
sudijske funkcije na najbolji način je takođe analiziran
Political Antagonisms, Misaligned Security Policies, and Economic Integration Efforts in the Western Balkans: Present Challenges and Future Perspectives
Get PDFIncoherence is an expression that could be used to describe the
political, economic and security developments in the Western Balkans.
Armed conflicts during the 1990s, attempts at reconciliation during the
2000s and regional cooperation under “external” mentorship represent
three focal points that characterize the contemporary history of the Western
Balkans. Meanwhile, numerous regional models, frameworks and
initiatives for economic integrations followed the formula – economic
integration as a prerequisite for lasting peace. All of these have contributed
to the fact that actors in the Western Balkans have only one common
denominator – membership in the european union, as a key and strategic
foreign policy goal. However, the achievement of that common
denominator was without a clear strategy on how to do it and whether such
a foreign policy goal, in real international circumstances, is still achievable.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to establish how regional circumstances
determine the realization of the foreign policy goals of the Western Balkan
actors. How and whether potential economic integration, as a basis, has
contributed to essential reconciliation and cooperation? From the academic
perspective, in a theoretical sense, the goal is to establish how much
economic integration is a realistic basis for reconciliation on the political
level in ongoing international circumstances, which would probably be best
described today by neoclassical realists
Uloga Srpske pravoslavne crkve u regionalnom političkom delovanju Republike Srbije
No full textU radu se analizira uloga Srpske pravoslavne crkve u aktuelnom političkom delovanju Republike Srbije. Kroz studiju slučaja, autori ispituju odnose Srpske patrijaršije sa Bugarskom i Makedonskom pravoslavnom crkvom – Ohridskom arhiepiskopijom. U tom smislu, oni nastoje da osvetle ulogu Srpske pravoslavne crkve na društvene tokove kroz jedan istorijsko-politički siže. U tom smislu, u radu se traže odgovori na na pitanje – da li je Srpska pravoslavna crkva de facto determinator političkih dešavanja u Srbiji, odnosno da li utiče na donošenje državnih odlukana spoljnopolitičkom planu, uključujući i one koje se odnose napolitičke procese kao što su evropske integracije? Kroz analizu aktuelnih političkih dešavanja u odnosima sa Bugarskom i Severnom Makedonijom, autori naglašavaju važnost nedavno zatvorenog crkvenog spora sa Makedonskom pravoslavnom crkvom. Ujedno, oni izražavaju i brigu povodom otvorenih pitanja koja postojeizmeđu Beograda i Sofije ne samo o nesaglasnosti u vezi autokefalnosti Makedonske pravoslavne crkve, već i o drugim bitnim političkim pitanjima
Socio-economic characteristics of agriculture and the role in economic development of the Republic of Serbia and Romania
Get PDFThe authors of the paper performed a comparative analysis of socioeconomic characteristics of agriculture and the role in economic development of the Republic of Serbia and Romania. The primary goal of this article was to conduct a survey in two countries during 2023, analyzing the social and economic value, using a database of 150 farms (small farms). The statistical analysis gave an insight into the basic aspects of working population in agriculture, age, level of education and management experience on the farm, value of farm production, their income structure and etc. Based on the research and comparison of certain differences in the categories of agricultural development between the Republic of Serbia and Romania, we will analyze the socio-economics characteristics of smallholders who constitute a large share of farmers in those countries and have a big influence on sustainable development and improvement of economic development
