A number of contemporary states have undergone a transformation of their constitutions. One of the reasons is the process of increasing tensions between the majority democracy and constitutionalism. In a special way, this tension is the lot of the new democracies having problems both with a lack of democratic experience and a lack of genuine constitutionalism. Although the Republic of Croatia's 1990 Constitution apparently uses the paradigm of constitutional democracy, it is becoming even more obvious that its ontology is to a large extent determined both by the general and the particular aspect of the tension between democracy and constitutionalism.

The standard view of Croatian and Yugoslav historiography holds that the Catholic Church in the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945) in general collaborated with the Ustasha-regime and supported its policies of persecutions and forced conversions. The author submits those assessments to a critical review, reexamining the documents and their standard interpretations. He concludes that a major reassessment of historiography regarding the role of the Church during the war is needed. While only pointing to major misrepresentations, the author provides basic elements for a new evaluation of the Church's role in the political turmoil during the World War II. (SOI : CSP: S. 474)

Postsocijalističke privrede su početkom devedesetih godina dvadesetog veka započele tranziciju u kapitalistički sistem i intenzivnije uključivanje u procese globalizacije. Region Zapadnog Balkana je u tom periodu bio zahvaćen političkom i društvenom nestabilnošću koja se nepovoljno odrazila na ekonomske reforme i međunarodnu poziciju zemalja regiona. Glavni problem sa kojim su se zemlje regiona Zapadnog Balkana suočile bio je tehnološko zaostajanje i nedostatak domaće akumulacije. Preovladao je stav da će priliv stranih direktnih investicija pokrenuti ekonomski rast i tehnološku modernizaciju proizvodnje i omogućiti uspešno uključivanje u procese globalizacije. Kako bi se unapredila međunarodna konkurentnost zemalja Zapadnog Balkana, završetak tranzicionih reformi je označen kao prioritetan korak. Predmet istraživanja disertacije je teorijsko razmatranje i empirijsko utvrđivanje efekata tranzicije i globalizacije na konkurentnost zemalja Zapadnog Balkana tokom prve dve decenije XXI veka. U sprovedenom istraživanju, jedanaest privreda Centralne i Istočne Evrope je iskorišćeno kao osnov za poređenje i tumačenje rezultata za pet zemalja Zapadnog Balkana. Empirijski rezultati u disertaciji pokazuju statistički značajan pozitivan uticaj tranzicije i globalizacije na unapređenje konkurentnosti zemalja regiona Zapadnog Balkana. ; Post-socialist states began the transition process to a capitalism and more intensive integration in the processes of globalization in the early 1990s. During that period, the Western Balkans region was affected by political and social instability, which adversely reflected to economic reforms and the international position of the countries in the region. The main problem the countries of the Western Balkans region faced was technological stagnancy and a lack of domestic accumulation. The prevailing view is that foreign direct investment inflows will drive economic growth and technological modernization of production and enable successfully integration this group of countries in the processes of globalization. In order to improve the international competitiveness of the Western Balkan countries, the finishing of transition reforms has been identified as a priority step. The subject of the PhD thesis is theoretical consideration and empirical determination of the effects of transition and globalization on the competitiveness of the Western Balkan countries during the first two decades of the 21st century. In the research that carried out, eleven economies of Central and Eastern Europe were used as a base for comparing and interpreting the results of the Western Balkans countries. Empirical results obtained in the researching part of the doctoral dissertation show a statistically significant positive impact of transition and globalization on improving the competitiveness of the states of the Western Balkans region.

Autori ovog rada nude pregled i analizu uspona i pada međunarodnog liberalnog‎ poretka koji je nastao nakon okončanja Hladnog rata i uspona moći Sjedinjenih‎ Američkih Država. Spoljnopolitička agenda jedine posthladnoratovske‎ supersile vođena je idejom stvaranja globalnog poretka utemeljenog na ideologiji‎ (globalnog) liberalizma koja u sebi inkorporira teorije liberalnog mira,‎ demokratskog mira i neoliberalnog institucionalizma. Uspostavljanje tzv. globalnog‎ liberalnog poretka dosada je bilo praćeno brojnim političkim, socijalnim,‎ ekonomskim i bezbednosnim krizama, a trenutnu eru međunarodnih odnosa‎ odlikuju uspon relativne moći "neliberalnih" globalnih aktera, pre svega‎ Kine i Rusije, kao glavnih izazivača svetske dominacije Sjedinjenih Američkih‎ Država, te geopolitički revizionizam i ideološka konfrontacija liberalnih i‎ antiliberalnih snaga širom sveta. Autori ovog rada koriste specifičan analitički‎ metod tzv. dijalektike političke mehanike, koji se oslanja na učenja Friedricha‎ Hegela o dijalektici istorije i Carla Schmitta o fenomenu političkog, kako bi‎ objasnili trenutnu dinamiku međunarodnih odnosa, pokazujući da političko‎ polje "permanentno pulsira" što, u svemu što je društveno i političko, nužno‎ kreira akciju i reakciju, čijom dinamikom se mogu tumačiti i globalna zbivanja‎ kojima upravo prisustvujemo.‎ ; The authors of this paper offer an overview and analysis of the rise and fall of‎ the liberal international order that emerged after the end of the Cold War and‎ along with the rising power of the United States. The foreign policy agenda‎ of the post-Cold War sole superpower was guided by the idea of creating a‎ global order based on the ideology of liberalism, which incorporates theories‎ of liberal peace, democratic peace and neoliberal institutionalism. The establishment‎ of a liberal order has been accompanied by numerous political, social,‎ economic and security crises. The current era is characterized by the rise‎ of the relative power of global actors, primarily China and Russia, as the main‎ challengers to the world domination of the United States, geopolitical revisionism‎ and ideological struggle around the world. The authors of this paper‎ use the dialectic of political mechanics as a method that relies on the teachings‎ of Friedrich Hegel on the dialectic of history and Carl Schmitt on the‎ phenomenon of the political. The authors advocate the view that the political‎ field "permanently pulsates", which, in everything that is social and political,‎ necessarily creates action and reaction.‎

Thucydides is considered to be the founder of political realism. Even in those times he determined the basic premises of realism - security and survival. He made an impact on subsequent development of realism embodied in the works of Machiavelli, Hobbes, Morgenthau, Car, Niebuhr, Aaron, Waltz etc. They will call the system of international relations as anarchical one since there is no supreme arbitrator which will force states to adequate behaviour. His views of realism were given in the volume 'The Peloponnesian War' where he had determined the anarchy of the relationships among states. Such system did not rely on justice and morale, but force and power were the predominant facts. He also introduces the category of just wars by claiming that Sparta led a just war against the increased power of Athens, and observed morale principles. Nevertheless, Thucydides faces contradictory, since Sparta itself as the largest land force of that time had to use force in order to beat Athens. He went ahead since he considered force and power as a necessary condition to achieve other objectives, which was later on adopted by Raymond Aaron. Following the example of the war between Athens and Sparta, he successfully analysed bipolar system of balance of power in which the conflict between the leading members of the two opposite blocks was possible in the end, while beforehand there should have been conflicts among weaker members of both blocks. Thucydides explained the manifestation of force and power using example of the Melian dialogue between the envoys of Athens and Melos. It was about the pure politics of force of Athens regardless of the fact that Melos had its independence.

During the survey conducted in 2012, 2013 and 2014, 67 specimens of common nase, chub and wels catfish were collected on the Medjuvršje reservoir. In the muscle tissue of the individual, the level of accumulation of hazardous elements (As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, Zn) is determined and compared with the MAC values established by the national regulations and legislation, as well as FAO and EU. Muscle samples were tested for the presence and concentration of selected elements using optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Collection of ichthyological material on the reservoir was carried out using a set of fishing nets with a diameter of 10-80 mm. Reservoir Međuvršje is located in the outlet of the Ovčarsko-Kablar gorge. The Zapadna Morava river upstream of the accumulation is characterized by an intensive emission of industrial, communal and wastewater from rural households, since no settlements or factories do not have systems for water purification. The fish species used in this research are the most frequently fished and most attractive fishing types of Međuvršje reservoir used in human nutrition. The aim of the paper is to examine the safety of meat use of three fish species in human nutrition from the point of view of the hazardous elements presence and comparison with the prescribed limit values (MAC). The measured values of the elements were several times below the prescribed MAC values. Arsenic values were in the range 0.057-0.153 μg/g and the highest values were recorded in common nase. Cadmium was only registered in 2013 in the chub muscle tissue (0.002 μg/g). Copper values ranged 0.006-0.132 μg/g and the highest values were in chub; Fe was in the range 0.503-8.79 μg/g and the highest values were in the wels catfish; Hg was in the range 0.043-0.077 μg/g and the highest values were in chub; Pb was in the range 0.03-0.134 μg/g and the highest values were in the wels catfish, and Zn was in the range 1.387-20.049 μg/g and the highest values were in chub. The results show a safe use of the analysed fish species for human consumption. ; Tokom istraživanja sprovedenih 2012, 2013 i 2014. godine na akumulaciji Međuvršje prikupljeno je 67 jedinki skobalja, klena i soma. U mišićnom tkivu jedinki utvrđen je nivo akumulacije hazardnih elemenata (As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, Zn) i upoređen sa MDK vrednostima propisanim regulativama i propisima naše zemlje, kao i FAO i EU. Uzorci mišića su testirani na prisustvo i koncentraciju odabranih elemenata primenom optičke emisione spektroskometrije (ICP-OES). Prikupljanje ihtiološkog materijala na akumulaciji vršeno je pomoću seta stajaćih ribarskih mreža promera okaca 10–80 mm. Akumulacija Međuvršje se nalazi u izlaznom delu Ovčarsko-kablarske klisure. Tok Zapadne Morava uzvodno od akumulacije karakteriše intenzivna emisija industrijskih, komunalnih i otpadnih voda iz seoskih domaćinstava s obzirom da nijedno naselje niti fabrika ne poseduju sisteme za prečišćavanje vode. Riblje vrste korišćene u ovom istraživanju predstavljaju najčešće lovljene i najatraktivnije ribolovne vrste akumulacije Međuvršje koje se koriste u ljudskoj ishrani. Cilj rada je sagledavanje bezbednosti upotrebe mesa tri vrste riba u ljudskoj ishrani sa stanovišta prisustva hazardnih elemenata i poređenje sa propisanim graničnim vrednostima (MDK). Izmerene vrednosti elemenata su bile višestruko ispod propisanih MDK vrednosti. Vrednosti arsena bile su u opsegu 0,057-0,153 μg/g, a najviše vrednosti zabeležene su kod skobalja. Kadmijum je registrovan samo 2013. godine u mišićnom tkivu klena (0,002 μg/g). Vrednosti bakra kretale su se u opsegu 0,006-0,132 μg/g, a najviše vrednosti bile su kod klena; Fe je bio u opsegu 0,503-8,79 μg/g, a najviše vrednosti su bile kod soma; Hg je bio u opsegu 0,043-0,077 μg/g, a najviše vrednosti bile su kod klena; Pb je bio u opsegu 0,03-0,134 μg/g, a najviše vrednosti bile su kod soma, a Zn je bio u opsegu 1,387-20,049 μg/g, a najviše vrednosti bile su kod klena. Izneti rezultati ukazuju na bezbednu upotrebu analiziranih vrsta riba za ljudsku ishranu. ; Soković M, Tešić Ž, editors.
