This paper deals with the development of the globalization process, meaning of the term globalization and influences that globalization has on world economy, politics and human community in general. ...It makes the point that globalization has negative and positive aspects, but it certainly brings big changes. The developed part of the world uses very well global conditions, in the same time playing the role of the main carrier of the globalization processes. With the development of informatics and communication technology world is becoming much smaller so that connection between two subjects in different parts of the world is made in a few minutes. Creation of economic and politic integrations is also one of the causes and consequences of globalization.
Autor u radu analizira suvremeni terorizam, posebno naglašavajući dubinske dimenzije uzrokovanja, rađanja, proizvodnje suvremenog terorizma, istovremeno se osvrćući kritički na negativne konotacije ...globalizacije, odnosno na globalne procese u svijetu i ključne faktore koji uveliko doprinose stvaranju nesigurnosti s pratećim posljedicama. Pristup koji je u radu primijenjen može objasniti rađajuću suštinu suvremenog terorizma, da bi se društvo kao takvo oslobodilo okova uvriježenosti u vidu apsorpcije dolazećih necjelovitih i spinovanih informacija, proizvodeći strah od terorističkih aktivnosti. Također, u radu su sa kazneno-procesnog i sigurnosnog aspekta analizirani teroristički akti koji su se desili u Bosni i Hercegovini od njezine samostalnosti do danas, ukazujući istovremeno na mogućnost produbljivanja te vrste nesigurnosti, odnosno fenomena suvremenog terorizma koji se reflektira na posebne načine u društvu, ali i na specifičnosti ukupnog sektora sigurnosti Bosne i Hercegovine i njegove borbe u prevenciji i suzbijanju unutarnjeg, međudržavnog, kao i transnacionalnog terorizma. Zaključak u radu referira na činjenicu da pored državnih institucija koje su involvirane u aktivnostima suzbijanja i borbe protiv terorizma, postoje i druge instance koje su se aktivnije uključile u spomenutom djelovanju, kao što su vjerske institucije/zajednice u Bosni i Hercegovini.
The author analyzes contemporary terrorism, delving deeply into different dimensions of causation and production of modern terrorism, and looking critically at the negative connotations of globalization and global processes in the world as key factors that greatly contribute to creating insecurity, with its accompanying consequences. The research approach applied in this paper may explain the essence of modern terrorism to and facilitate the rejection of widely-accepted opinions based on incomplete and distorted information that result in the production of fear of terrorism. Also, the paper analyzes the terrorist acts that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina since its independence until today from the criminal procedural and security point of view, pointing to the possibility of increased insecurity and the treath of terrorism, which is reflected in the specific ways in society, but also overviewing the specific aspects of the overall security sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its struggle to prevent and suppress internal, interstate and transnational terrorism. In its conclusion, the paper refers to the fact that in addition to state institutions that are involved in the activities of prevention and fight against terrorism, there are other important actors, such as religious institutions/communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that are actively involved in the aforementioned activities.
U suvremenim se teorijama pojmu identiteta pristupa kao konstitutivnoj kategoriji, pa se tako i europski identitet u tekstu propituje kroz njegove konstitutivne elemente. U tekstu se konstrukcija ...europskog identiteta prikazuje kao traženje nove vrste identiteta, gdje tradicionalne nacionalne spone, kao što su teritorij, povijest, kultura i politička tradicija, nemaju jednaku ulogu kao u identificiranju s nacijom. Stoga se i postavlja pitanje „temelja“ europskog identiteta. U članku se propituje izgradnja „novog“ europskog identiteta koji bi trebao biti utemeljen na snažnom kolektivnom identitetu koji se očituje u lojalnosti građana prema Europskoj Uniji. U tom kontekstu dosadašnje suvremene kritike, kao i analitičke primjene pojma europskog identiteta, dotiču ne samo pitanje političkog legitimiteta, već sve više uzimaju u razmatranje dublje elemente koji su vezani uz njegovu „političko-emocionalnu“ legitimaciju.
U radu se objašnjavaju suvremeni tijekovi, odnosno tri fenomena današnjice: globalizacija, europeizacija i tranzicija. Sva tri navedena fenomena prožimaju Europsku uniju. Budući da su ta tri fenomena ...prisutna i u hrvatskoj današnjici, u radu se razvoj i razvojni ciljevi, odnosno, smjernice budućega razvoja Hrvatske postavljaju u okvire tih triju procesa s ciljem uspješnijeg općeg razvoja društva i Hrvatske.
Social protection systems are often still designed for the archetypical full-time dependent employee. Work patterns deviating from this model - be it self-employment or online "gig work" - can lead ...to gaps in social protection coverage. Globalisation and digitalisation are likely to exacerbate.
V prispevku analiziramo družbene spremembe, ki jih prinašajo procesi globalizacije, kapitalizem, individualizem in pozna moderna. Na podlagi teh sprememb pojasnjujemo premik v politiki izobraževanja ...odraslih, za katerega je odgovorna država in je v funkciji demokratizacije družbe, v politiko vseživljenjskega učenja kot pripravo odraslih za potrebe trga dela, pri čemer so odrasli sami odgovorni za svoj razvoj in življenjske izbire. Ob tako razumljeni politiki vseživljenjskega učenja se sprašujemo, ali je mogoča emancipacija odraslih onkraj zahtev trga po lastnem opolnomočenju.
Migracije in globalizacija danes ključno vplivajo na redefiniranje muslimanske obleke v sodobnosti ter oblikovanje kulturne identitete žensk islamske veroizpovedi v urbanem okolju. Raznolike sodobne ...oblačilne sloge muslimank je danes treba razumeti v kontekstu porasta neoliberalne ekonomije v muslimanskih državah ter ponovnega oživljanja muslimanskih identitet po celem svetu. Namen članka je predstaviti transnacionalni pomen tančice (oblike naglavnega oziroma telesnega pokrivala) ter ponuditi vpogled v nove muslimanske oblačilne prakse, ki se tako simbolno kot materialno napajajo tako v »vzhodni« kot »zahodni« kulturi. Temeljita analiza tudi pokaže, da večina muslimanskih žensk nošenje tančice danes dojema kot pomemben odraz pripadnosti ter potrditev kulturne identitete. Nova transnacionalna muslimanska moda je postala večplasten koncept, ki, globoko integriran v politične, družbene, osebne in navsezadnje vizualne interpretacije, odpira nove perspektive v percepciji identitete »modernih« muslimank ter tako pomembno priča o kulturnem pomenu migracij.
National consciousness, under modern circumstances, takes shape as a picture of a territorial unity, encircled by a contiguous red borderline on the political map, in social imaginary. The map ...delineating a portion of a geographical territory fenced off from other territories is a typical modern pictorial representation of national community. Modern nation, as it has been described by Benedict Anderson in his seminal book, is an imagined community. Visual imagination construing mental pictures of respective community, of course, was alive in archaic times but the pictorial representation of community was personified; it was embodied in rulers. The geographical image of a political unit was indistinct. What happens to the modern mental image of nation as a territorial unit in the age of globalization? It was a widely shared conviction, in the enthusiastic mood of the 1990s, according to which the image of Net was going to prevail the image of territory in national fancy. Having seen the events of the latest decade this optimism seems to be hasty; a hybrid mental image of nation has been emerging in national consciousness blending archaic, modern and postmodern elements.
An honest discussion of free trade and how nations can sensibly chart a path forward in today's global economy. Not so long ago the nation-state seemed to be on its deathbed, condemned to irrelevance ...by the forces of globalization and technology. Now it is back with a vengeance, propelled by a groundswell of populists around the world. In Straight Talk on Trade, Dani Rodrik, an early and outspoken critic of economic globalization taken too far, goes beyond the populist backlash and offers a more reasoned explanation for why our elites' and technocrats' obsession with hyper-globalization made it more difficult for nations to achieve legitimate economic and social objectives at home: economic prosperity, financial stability, and equity. Rodrik takes globalization's cheerleaders to task, not for emphasizing economics over other values, but for practicing bad economics and ignoring the discipline's own nuances that should have called for caution. He makes a case for a pluralist world economy where nation-states retain sufficient autonomy to fashion their own social contracts and develop economic strategies tailored to their needs. Rather than calling for closed borders or defending protectionists, Rodrik shows how we can restore a sensible balance between national and global governance. Ranging over the recent experiences of advanced countries, the eurozone, and developing nations, Rodrik charts a way forward with new ideas about how to reconcile today's inequitable economic and technological trends with liberal democracy and social inclusion. Deftly navigating the tensions among globalization, national sovereignty, and democracy, Straight Talk on Trade presents an indispensable commentary on today's world economy and its dilemmas, and offers a visionary framework at a critical time when we need it most.
