Totalitarizmo inversijos samprata Sheldono S. Wolino politinėje filosofijoje

Author(s): Vaidotas Valantiejus / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 02/2015

The main task of this article is to analyze the relationship between totalitarianism and democracy in relation with the concept of inverted totalitarianism by Sheldon S. Wolin. The article argues that the possibilities of inverted totalitarianism are inherent within democracy itself. The tendencies of inverted totalitarianism are not only the trait of concrete political regime, but also intrinsic to global political and economic structure. The article asserts that the disciplinary tendencies in contemporary societies are radically changing the classical idea of „rule by the people“. The main conclusion is that we are witnessing not only the inversions of totalitarianism, but also the inversions of democracy. This new form of democracy can be called a total democracy without demos.

Kas lemia europos parlamento narių balsavimą – nacionaliniai interesai ar ep frakcijos linija?

Author(s): Rolandas Tučas,Ieva Savickaitė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 4 (84)/2016

The European Parliament has gained more legitimacy power after Lisbon treaty in 2009. However, there is unclear how EP members are distributing their votes. Do they vote according with the EP party line or their national interest? This scientific article attempts to look at the MEPs voting related to foreign policy issues that are identified as one of the most sensitive to reach a general consensus. This research focuses on MEPs roll call results related to the EU–Russia partnership issues from 2014 to 2015, followed by the annexation of Crimea. Due to this, scientific paper aims to determine the regional dimension between MEPs (geo) political preferences and the relation to Russia votings. This scientific article tests two hypotheses: 1) The voting, following the EP group’s position, is often characterized by MEPs from those countries where there is no clear commitment to Russia. 2) The voting is done in accordance with the national positions often characterized by MEPs from those countries where there is a clear (relatively favorable/critical) position towards Russia. These hypotheses are tested by using roll calls and EU countries position towards Russia index which was updated in this work following the research of S. Braghiroli ir C. Carta. The results partly proved the tested hypotheses. The roll calls confirmed the first hypothesis that voting, following the EP group’s position, is often characterized by MEPs from those countries where there is no clear commitment to Russia. Such voting is often characterized by MEPs from West-Central European countries. The second hypothesis stands to be partly proved. The voting in accordance with the national positions is often characterized by MEPs from those countries where there is a clear critical position towards Russia (mostly from Poland and the Baltic States). However, the results haven’t confirmed that this hypothesis applies as well to MEPs from countries of a relatively favorable stance towards Russia. It discovered that an MEP from these countries tends to abstain more while voting for questions favorable to Russia. This shows another tendency to find a compromise between a national and an EP party line. Recommendations for future research. In order to find out more details related to the voting trends of MEPs, the future research should involve a longer period of roll calls. The research methodology could be enhanced by including details of the MEPs voting “abstentions“. Also, future research could emphasize the “rebels“ in the EP parties who act when expressing „softer“ disapprovals from general party political line by abstaining from the voting.

Housing Policy and Housing Market in Serbia

Author(s): Snežana S. Đorđević,Dora Z. Petronijević, / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

This article analyses housing policy and the quality of housing market in Serbia. Housing policy is analyzed in connection with policy of spatial and urban planning and building and construction policy, focusing on the housing availability as vital need in everyday life for each person, family and community in general. Numerous researches show that this policy field in Serbia has been pretty neglected, letting citizens alone to find their way on housing market. Above all that, this policy field is centralized, poorly coordinated between state and local government, and local government as important actor, still doesn`t have enough competencies and capacities for this kind of activity. The analysis of housing market focuses on the most important factors that influence the housing demand and supply. Through empirical research was predicted how long it will take for housing to be approachable to population. The aim of this paper is to show the possible way for development of housing policy in Serbia, to procure more affordable housing market for citizens, upgrading the quality of their lives. The main methods used in this study are: analysis (quantitative and qualitative), comparative analysis, empirical research, and predictions of future developmental scenarios. The paper has two parts: housing policy and housing market.

Корпоративни односи с јавношћу у институцијама (нео) либералне и социјалне државе

Author(s): Dragan Subotić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2010

In the paper author wrote on corporative public relations in institutions of (neo)liberal and social states, paying special attention to the notion, structure and functions within theoretical-methodological approach in, for example, the works of Jurgen Habermas, Luckman and other relevant authors in this field. In a dilemma regarding (neo)liberal and welfare state the author supports a social welfare state model, taking into account its all positive and negative consequences. Through an analysis of a model of corporative public relations, the author shows that essentially he supports the (neo)liberal state concept, in particular the ideas of Milton Friedman and other proponents of the monetary school in business economy, politics and more broadly in whole society. The corporative public relations are indeed a socio- economic and political indicator of possible modern state model in 21st century which after all, considering globalization of the world law, economy and politics, is going to be based on innovations, knowledge and communications or information society. Therefore the corporative public relations in the state institutions are the indicator of a social, political and economic character of a society, especially in case of a transitional society.

Kobiety jako uczestniczki sprawowania władzy w Polsce po 1989 r.

Author(s): Beata Pająk-Patkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2016

Basing on the analysis of available statistical data, this article presents Polish women’s participation in the processes of exercising political power (legislative and executive) within central institutions of the state. The analysis covered a time frame between 1989 and 2015. The reasons for disparities between the numbers of women and men in political authorities as well as its possible consequences have also been illustrated. The received results allow arriving at the following conclusions. In the analysed period, a considerable increase in the number of women in both chambers of the Polish parliament and the subsequent governments was observed. However, the numbers are still far from political parity. In case of the government, the increased presence of women holding posts of the heads of ministries for affairs traditionally linked with feminine activity (e.g. culture, education, social policy) can also be underlined. Inequality within the area of exercising political authority may exert a significant impact on the society, i.e. limit the ability to shape the state policy within areas particularly interesting to women or reinforce gender stereotypes in the society.

Perceptions Regarding the Personality of Ion Antonescu in the Romanian Public Space

Author(s): Daniel Buti / Language(s): English Issue: 15/2022

The image of political leaders is not just a packaging, it is part of the social representation. It is a construct of communication. Perceptions in the Romanian public space regarding Ion Antonescu are mixed and polarizing. The paper analyzes successive waves of opinion polls to outline an imagological profile of Ion Antonescu at the level of the Romanian society. The research is completed by an analysis of communication in the online space, which captures the size and landmarks of the conversations regarding Ion Antonescu. The methodological approach is innovative, because it contains a mix of methods. The result offers clues about the social springs and about the possible impact of the public discourse on minimizing the Holocaust or on heroizing and recovering the memory of certain fascist leaders from the modern history of Romania.

The Future of Digital Twins: Challenges and Implications for National Security

Author(s): Stefaniya Mircheska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Digital Twins (DTs) are transforming how knowledge is generated and used. A Digital Twin is a set of data and information that fully describes a potential or actual physical object, process, or system. They are used in products, systems, and processes before and after their development, creating a means for determining the feasibility of production and modes of failure. Developments in computing power, artificial intelligence, big data and other new technologies are enabling replication of large complex systems with greater fidelity and predictive power. The purpose of this research paper is to present and identify the future prospects for Digital Twin applications, to understand where and how digital twins are used today, the prospects for their future use, and the potential implications for national security.

National interest implementation Matrix: Evaluating and measuring Serbia’s achievements

Author(s): Milan Krstić,Nikola Jović / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

This paper develops a matrix for measuring the realisation/degree of successful implementation of the national interest of the Republic of Serbia. The theoretical foundation of this matrix is “thin” constructivism in international relations, which is based on ontological inter-subjectivism and epistemological positivism. The methodology relies on two main pillars: the first defines Serbian national interests and their hierarchy, while the second measures the extent of their implementation/realisation. These pillars utilise a mix of various data collection and analysis methods, including desk research, descriptive statistics, content analysis, public opinion polls, and expert surveys. This paper’s primary theoretical aim is to enhance national interest in international relations by providing a tool to measure its implementation. The main empirical and policy goal is to assess the current state of Serbia’s national interest implementation. The analysis reveals that the implementation rate of Serbia’s national interest is just over 40% (an index score of 2.61 on a 1-5 scale). The paper also pinpoints specific areas that require policy improvements to enhance this score in the future.

The Semi-Presidential Republic: French Origin and Different Perspectives in Europe

Author(s): Gabriela Varia / Language(s): English Issue: 10-10.2/2022

The present article examines the concept of semi-presidentialism since its conception by the scholar Maurice Duverger and presents the evolution and the features of the French semi-presidential system, which served as a model for many of the post-communist presidencies in Europe. The last section of the paper is focused on intra-executive conflicts that arise in the semi-presidential systems, conflicts which are usually regarded in the field literature as negative, but also have the potential for leading to solutions when there is not the same majority supporting both the president and prime minister
