Summary/Abstract: This paper provides valorization of Cvijić’ ideas concerning sociology by establishing a link between phenomena and issues investigated by Jovan Cvijić and the modern, post-socialist society of Serbia. In the course of our research on post-socialist transformation of Serbian society, we made use of the following ideas by Cvijić: methodology, migrations, investigation of settlements and the problem of under urbanization, family cooperatives and post-socialist extended family, Cvijić’s „blindness as to gender“ and the description of local military patriarchate, low social capital posing a risk to the development of civil society, and the national character as an obstacle for the development of citizenry.
