Društvene nejednakosti, društveno raslojavanje i siromaštvo u BIH
Social Inequality, Social Stratification and Poverty in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: The recent financial crisis has directed the focus of scientific and public interest at the issues of social inequality, social polarization and poverty. The general impovershiment is also a common place in contemporary BiH and key economic, political and social problem. In accordance with the modern understanding of poverty as a denial of human rights, the paper firstly offers various models of description, analysis and interpretation of these phenomena in the post-socialist BiH. In the second part, the author articulates a multi-level and multi-layered framework for understanding the relative roles of the various causes of poverty and their mutual interpolation in the context of intensifying glocal dialectics. Based on the understanding that academic debate on poverty must be prescriptive and dedicated to the elimination of and the fight against poverty, in the final part of the paper author proposes two basic criteria that the political struggle for the realization of the vision of ‘good’ society in BiH should incorporate.
