Povzetek. Politična znanost je neprestano podvržena refleksiji svojega delovanja, saj se prepleta z drugimi družboslovnimi vedami in iz njih črpa
specifične raziskovalne prakse, metodologije in spoznanja. Ta introspekcija je ključnega pomena, saj politologija proučuje pojave z različnih vidikov,
ki izhajajo iz različnih raziskovalnih tradicij. Razumevanje lastnega okvira in vpliva na druge discipline omogoča politični znanosti, da bolje razume svoj kontekst ter prispeva k osmišljenemu raziskovanju in razpravi.
Članek obravnava razmisleke politologa Adolfa Bibiča o odnosu politične
znanosti do drugih družboslovnih ved in njenem družbenem pomenu, pri
čemer proučuje njeno zgodovinsko pogojenost, avtonomijo in navezavo na
druge discipline. Obravnava tudi, kako lahko politična znanost prispeva
k (političnemu) izobraževanju v smislu teorije in prakse ter širšemu razumevanju politike.
Ključni pojmi: politologija, Adolf Bibič, družboslovje, politika, družbena

Abstract. The article presents an attempt to make sense of Adolf Bibič's
oeuvre as a whole. It reveals his broader intellectual (and also political)
project along with his coherent and systematic analysis of what may also
be understood as the 'possibilities' of political science. We claim that Bibič's
various analyses and interventions actually pivot on the question of the
future or, even better, the role and position of political science in it. We
name this aspect of Bibič's oeuvre the 'political science of the future', which
necessarily returns to the history of political ideas and political history to
even be able to understand the current political relations and their contradictions. The ambition and capacity of the 'political science of the future'
is not merely an explanation of what exists since, as Bibič states, political
science is the key science for facing the challenges of the future and, accordingly, vital for our existence – political and physical.
Keywords: Adolf Bibič, political science, future, state, democracy, citizenship.

Povzetek. Raziskava, izvedena na reprezentativnem vzorcu nemških mladostnikov, proučuje seznanjenost staršev o negativnih spletnih izkušnjah
njihovih otrok, pri čemer se osredini na vlogo starševskih strategij posredovanja. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 710 mladostnikov in njihovih staršev. Starši so relativno dobro seznanjeni z negativnimi izkušnjami, četudi
podcenjujejo izkušnje otrok, povezane s spolno vsebino. Starost mladostnikov je negativni napovednik seznanjenosti staršev, medtem ko je aktivno
posredovanje pozitivni. Zaznave mladostnikov o aktivnem posredovanju
staršev igrajo pomembno vlogo pri napovedovanju seznanjenosti staršev.
Naši rezultati osvetljujejo osrednjo vlogo zaznav mladostnikov pri seznanjenosti staršev o negativnih spletnih izkušnjah njihovih otrok.
Ključni pojmi: splet, negativne izkušnje, strategije posredovanja, zaznave

Abstract. The study focused on investigating and analysing the perception
of Facebook's role, as one of the components in the field of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT), namely, social media, on the quality
of emotional interaction, particularly among individuals in their third age.
The research sample comprised 260 participants of various ages, divided
into two age groups – under 50 and over 50 years old. Participants' opinions were obtained through empirical research, employing quantitative
methods and surveys as the research technique. The research findings indicate that age influences participants' attitudes to digital communication
as a means and medium of emotional communication in various contexts.
Participants in the third age exhibit stronger reservations towards Facebook as a tool for emotional communication and are more cautious about
the use of modern communication methods offered by new social media
techniques. They are also less inclined to abandon traditional interpersonal interactions. The results reveal general distrust in the information
circulating on Facebook and underscore the advantage of maintaining
each interpersonal communication, encompassing all elements of emotional relationships beyond the realm of the Internet, or the information
mediation services offered by ICT, primarily social media.
Keywords: Information and Communication Technologies, Facebook,
third age, emotional communication, alienation.

Povzetek. V članku je predstavljena poizvedbena raziskava dejavnosti
korporativnih najemodajalcev, torej pravnih oseb, ki prihodke ustvarjajo
z oddajanjem stanovanjskih nepremičnin v tržni najem, na ljubljanskem
najemniškem trgu. Ker podatki o številčnosti stanovanj, ki jih oddajajo
pravne osebe v Ljubljani, zaenkrat ne obstajajo, je v članku narejen pregled kupcev stanovanj v sedmih novogradnjah v Ljubljani, zgrajenih po
letu 2020. Na podlagi podatkov iz evidenc GURS, zemljiške knjige, registra
AJPES in informacij, ki so jih posredovale posamezne družbe, je pokazano,
da se v analiziranem vzorcu pojavljajo tudi nekatere pravne osebe, ki stanovanja kupujejo z namenom, da jih oddajajo v profitni najem.
Ključni pojmi: korporativni najemodajalci, nepremičnine, stanovanjski

Abstract. The article analyses the innovative Marxist conceptualisation of
politics proposed by the Slovenian political scientist Adolf Bibič. The latter
built on the contributions of Heglo-Marxists and Gramsci to political theory.
At the core of his theory, he placed the question of the political power–class exploitation relationship. He distinguished political politics from self-managing politics, and problematised the dominant Western understandings of politics as well as the theories of elitism and pluralism. Moving away from such theories and dogmatic Marxist notions about the withering away of politics, he formulated his project of humanising politics beyond class exploitation and capitalist relations of production. This project assumed a necessary transformation of political practice in terms of the dialectical process of the socialisation of politics and the politicisation of society.
Keywords: Adolf Bibič, politics, political science, class relations, economic
exploitation.

Abstract. The article reflects on a key category introduced by Adolf Bibič
in his 1990 theoretical work Civil Society and Political Pluralism; namely,
association pluralism. Bibič introduced this concept into Slovenian political thought to grasp the diverse social and political developments of the 1980s and to open up a new view of political pluralism that moves beyond party pluralism. The author therefore asks whether the notion of associational pluralism still holds sufficient explanatory potential and is worth preserving and developing further, or whether it can be used to deal with a new social and political reality, i.e., political pluralism, which is also strongly marked by multifaceted environmental issues.
Keywords: associational pluralism, political pluralism, party pluralism,

Abstract. The article explores the significance held by political myths for
legitimacy and politics. To that end, we examine political myth in line with
the contemporary theory of political myth, which understands political
myths as an integral part of all political communities that is not inherent
to just authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. Every political community
has their own stories/narratives that are accepted by most of the population and form the base of the legitimacy of the political order, whether it be a democratic or a non-democratic political order. In the final part of the article, we examine which narratives had such a legitimising power by analysing the political speeches of Franjo Tuđman while he was in office.
Keywords: legitimacy, politics, political myth, political speech analysis,

Abstract. Among twentieth-century political philosophers, Americans
John Rawls and Robert Nozick are generally recognized as giants – both
for the boldness of their arguments and for the influence they have exerted. They sketched rival visions. Rawls, inspired by Immanuel Kant, argued for a world characterized by tolerance, equality, and justice as fairness. Nozick, claiming a Lockean heritage but actually inspired by Adam Smith (the "invisible hand") and Herbert Spencer ("survival of the fittest"), outlined a program for a minimal state, with very little taxation, offering no cushion at all against poverty, and providing no state assistance for the poor, the sick, the disabled, or the widowed. Rawls' vision is clearly part of the liberal tradition, while Nozick's championing of a minimal state contains illiberal elements.
Keywords: John Rawls, Robert Nozick, political liberalism, libertarianism, taxation, equality, justice.

Povzetek. Članek analizira aktualnost teoretičnih rešitev škotskega ekonomskega misleca Adama Smitha za dobo poznega kapitalizma. Zagovarja re-aktualizacijo vseh tistih Smithovih teoretičnih rešitev, ki so bile
v zadnjem obdobju zanemarjene, vključno z nakazano Smithovo motivacijsko dohodkovno-profitno in sistemsko tržno-plansko dualnostjo gospodarjenja. Zavzema se za oživitev Smithove ekonomske misli, s katere pomočjo je treba ugotoviti, kako manj polno zaposlena gospodarstva
bolj polno zaposliti. Članek Smithovo teorijo nadgrajuje s Keynesovimi
rešitvami ekonomskih kriz. Poudarja pomembnost reafirmacije politične
ekonomije kot družbene znanosti, ki je povezana z družbeno odgovornim
gospodarjenjem.

Abstract. The article aims to explore factors that influence respondents'
intentions to accept and use mobile advertising by proposing an extension of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT)
with perceived enjoyment, perceived irritation, and personalisation. To
identify the factors affecting the acceptability of mobile advertising, the
intentions and behaviours of respondents regarding mobile advertising are
reviewed. The study was conducted in Pakistan by using online survey.
Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to examine the sample size of 446 respondents. The findings revealed
certain crucial factors (such as effort expectancy, performance expectancy,
perceived enjoyment, perceived irritation, and personalisation) that can
affect respondents' intentions to accept mobile advertising. Also revealed
was the relationship between respondents' intentions to accept and use
behaviour regarding mobile advertising. It is established that respondents
expect more personalised promotional messages to be shown to them in
line with their needs and preferences. Here, advertisers must pay attention
to the contextual relevance of the ads while noting the element of irritation
that can be felt among consumers, as such ads create negative attitudes
and intentions towards mobile advertising.
Keywords: mobile advertising, consumer intentions, use behaviour, unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), Partial Least

Povzetek. Palestinsko-izraelski konflikt odpira številna mednarodnopravna vprašanja, ki so v prispevku analizirana z vidika pravice narodov do samoodločbe, prepovedi uporabe sile (jus ad bellum), mednarodnega prava oboroženih spopadov (jus in bello), pravil za ugotavljanje individualne odgovornosti in odgovornosti držav (jus post bellum) ter obveznosti mednarodne skupnosti pri odzivanju na grobe kršitve mednarodnega prava. Razumevanje teh pravil je nujno za ugotavljanje morebitne odgovornosti različnih akterjev, poleg tega pa razkriva dva vidika modernega mednarodnega prava. Na eni strani situacije uporabe sile nedržavnih akterjev tako z vidika jus ad bellum kot jus in bello terjajo poglobljeno analizo in odpirajo številna vprašanja, na katere »na državno suverenost« osredinjeno mednarodno pravo nima enoznačnih odgovorov. Po drugi strani pa se s pripoznanjem erga omnes (partes) narave nekaterih obveznosti iz področja prava človekovih pravic ter oboroženih spopadov, vse bolj utemeljuje prepričanje, da se vse države v mednarodni skupnosti lahko odzivajo na najhujše kršitve mednarodnega prava in uveljavljajo odgovornost zadevne države. Vendar pa prispevek zaključi, da selektivnost implementacije ob odsotnosti politične volje ostaja temeljna pomanjkljivost mednarodnega prava, za katero se zdi, da jo bo težko premostilo.
Ključni pojmi: Palestina, nedržavni akterji, odgovornost, pravica narodov do samoodločbe, pravica do samoobrambe, mednarodno pravo oboroženih spopadov, erga omnes (partes).

Namen pričujočega članka je analizirati gospodarsko diplomacijo treh majhnih držav – Avstrije, Slovenije in Srbije, v primerjalni perspektivi. Raziskati želimo, če in kako drugačna gospodarsko-politična struktura držav (Avstrija kot država s tržnim gospodarstvom, Slovenija kot potranzicijska država, Srbija kot država v tranziciji) vpliva na delovanje gospodarske diplomacije. S pomočjo primerjalne analize, ki je utemeljena na velikem številu intervjujev z akterji gospodarske diplomacije, ugotavljamo, da: (1) je ne glede na model, na podlagi katerega omenjene države oblikujejo svojo gospodarsko diplomacijo, pomen države vedno prisoten, še posebej v primerih težav ali zapletov na izbranem trgu (ex-post pristop); (2) se vse analizirane države soočajo z enakimi izzivi v gospodarski diplomaciji, ti pa niso pogojeni z njihovim gospodarsko-političnim sistemom, ampak z mednarodnim okoljem in delovanjem izvoznih ali investicijskih aktivnosti podjetij; (3) ostaja v primeru konceptualizacije in operacionalizacije gospodarske diplomacije znotraj diplomatskih študij še veliko neraziskanega, kar onemogoča njeno občo sprejetost, saj gospodarska diplomacija in sorodni koncepti tudi 20 let po začetku njenega aktivnega preučevanja še niso enovito konceptualizirani, hierarhizirani in umeščeni v kanon diplomatskih študij.

Članek predstavlja ugotovitve raziskave o odnosu javnosti do obnovljivih virov energije – OVE (SJM 2019/1) in jih postavlja v kontekst mednarodne primerjave stališč o podnebnih spremembah, kot se kažejo iz podatkov Evropske družboslovne raziskave ESS 2016 (modul: Climate Change). Rezultati kažejo na splošno visoko stopnjo soglašanja javnosti s podnebno paradigmo, pri konkretnejših okoljskih ukrepih pa je (tudi evropsko) javno mnenje nekoliko bolj zadržano. Podobne ugotovitve najdemo v študiji OVE. Ta pokaže izrazito favoriziranje vetrnega in sončnega scenarija, ki sta s stališča javnosti podrobneje predstavljena s prednostmi in slabostmi. Pri obravnavi konkretne prostorske umestitve pa se kaže, kako javnomnenjski razmislek počasi drsi iz polja okoljske v polje ekonomske, tržne miselnosti. Primerjalna analiza podatkov ESS kaže podobno sliko, še posebej, ko opazujemo razlike med okoljsko razvitejšimi zahodnoevropskimi in nordijskimi državami ter državami srednje in vzhodne Evrope. Avtorja v zaključku poudarita, da okoljska transformacija (tudi z implementacijo OVE) ne bo uspešna brez širše družbene transformacije, ki bo zagotovila pravično porazdelitev koristi in tveganj.

Not much research has looked at how diversity and gender affect military professionalism and diverse groups perceive this concept. Using a qualitative approach, the study examined perspectives on military professionalism and unprofessionalism among diverse members of the Albanian Armed Forces (AAF). To ensure a diversity of participants, the study was based on the constructivist paradigm (multiple realities) as well as the Gender Perspective in the Albanian Armed Forces report (2013), which helps identify the varying impacts of such research on diverse groups of men and women. A total of 150 individuals participated in interviews and focus groups between October 2022 and August 2023. The findings show that professionalism and unprofessionalism each have distinct characteristics, where leadership is a key factor. This study sheds light on the members' experiences and how the latter affect the way in which professionals are perceived.
