Autor analizira ratifikaciju Istanbulske konvencije u Hrvatskoj 2018. Nakon uvodnog prikaza temeljnih teorijskih i metodologijskih postavki, prvi dio članka analizira tekst Konvencije. Drugi dio ...članka analizira njezinu političku recepciju u hrvatskoj javnosti uoči, tijekom i nakon ratifikacije. Pritom se diskursi koji su se sučeljavali i surađivali uspostavljaju induktivno, na osnovi uočavanja ponavljajućih sličnosti i razlika u istupima različitih aktera u javnim medijima. Nakon analize diskurzivnih okvira rasprave, prikazuju se institucionalni i izvaninstitucionalni aspekti procesa ratifikacije koji se odigrao unutar tih okvira. Naglasak se stavlja na sklapanje diskurzivne koalicije zastupnika dominantnog diskursa o nasilju nad ženama i diskursa o obiteljskoj tradiciji koji je, uz interpretativnu izjavu, omogućio ratifikaciju Konvencije.
The author analyzes the case of ratification of the Istanbul convention in Croatia in 2018. After introductory explanations of the basic theoretical and methodological conditions of the analysis, the first part of the article analyzes the text of the convention. The second part of the article analyzes its political reception in Croatian public at the time before, during and after its ratification. In doing so, it inductively establishes the discourses that both clashed and collaborated, on the basis of repetitive similarities and differences in the utterances that different actors made in the public media. After the discursive framework of the debate is analyzed, the institutional and non-institutional aspects of the ratification process that took place within these framework are presented. Emphasis is placed on the formation of a discursive coalition between advocates of the dominant discourse on violence against women and the discourse on family tradition that, with the interpretive statement, enabled the ratification of the convention.
This critical essay deals with the book Can Democracy Work? by James Miller, which, warning of the problems of democratic politics, retains democratic faith. By combining political science and ...historiography, and intertwining the history of ideas with political biography in portraying different episodes in the history of democracy, the book seeks to give insight into the riddle of democracy. This riddle is exhibited in various theoretical and practical tensions: between the Rousseauian demand for sovereignty of the people and the general will on the one hand, and the Platonistic epistemic skepticism about the ability of the people to decide and the political demands of liberalism on the other; between the need to control the rulers and the political-economic dynamics of corruption and clientelism incited by democratic politics; between rebellion against the elites as a species of functional political hygiene in a polity, and uncertainty of outcomes brought by the inherent instability of democracy and its aptitude to excess; and between the seeming inevitability of elections and their cooptational trap. Between the liberalism of fear à la Judith Shklar and the thrills of populism à la Chantal Mouffe, the author retains democratic faith – a political version of Kierkegaardian existentialism which goes beyond the undecided, forever doubting reflection and a political good that is shared with others, in spite of the uncertainties of public opinion and the ascertained questionability of civic virtue in the open field of the political in history.
U tekstu se ispituju mogućnosti artikulacije političkog otpora u Hrvatskoj kojiautor naziva “protubriselskom revolucijom”. Prvi dio teksta razjašnjava odnoskulturne i protubirokratske revolucije u ...kontekstu odnosa političkih elita scjelinom političkog tijela.

Treći dio teksta donosi kratak prikaz i tipologizaciju šest paradigmatskih epizoda vezanih uz prosvjednu, referendumsku i protureferendumsku politiku koje se mogu podvesti pod pojmovno polje studijârevolucijâ i koje predstavljaju prethodnicu protubriselske revolucije kao političkogdogađaja u području smisla za moguće.

The text examines the possibilities of articulating the political resistance in Croatia, which the author calls the “anti-Brussels revolution”. The first part of the text clarifies the relationship between cultural and anti-bureaucratic revolution in the context of the relationship between political elites and the body politic. The second part presents and explains the use of the phrase anti-bureaucratic revolution in the analyses of Mirjana Kasapović, a political scientist, which provide historically instructive insights into the relationship between institutional and extra-institutional political activity necessary for the analysis of the emergence of the anti-Brussels revolution in Croatia. The third part of the text provides a brief presentation and typologization of six paradigmatic episodes related to protest, referendum and counter-referendum politics. These episodes can be subsumed under the conceptual field of revolution studies and represent a precursor to the anti-Brussels revolution as a political event in the realm of the sense of the possible. It is concluded that the anti-Brussels revolution is a form of emerging anti-bureaucratic revolution.

Kritika je sastavni dio racionalnog procesa napretka prema potpunijoj i preciznijoj spoznaji. Posljedično tome, ona subjektima donosi mogućnosti za bolje i učinkovitije djelovanje na pojedinačnoj i ...kolektivnoj razini. Postavke prosvjetiteljskog svjetonazora obuhvaćaju viziju napretka znanosti kao kolektivnog procesa otvorenog nagađanja i opovrgavanja ili barem progresivnog djelovanja unutar određene paradigme do njezina iscrpljivanja i prevladavanja. Premda se društvene znanosti ponekad čine kulturno omeđenima i politički uvjetovanima kontekstualnim vrednovanjima kojima nedostaje paradigmatski status, navedene postavke načelno vrijede i za njih. To se ponekad naziva pozitivizmom – načelnim jedinstvom metode prirodnih i društvenih znanosti. Stoga su društveni znanstvenici, kao i oni prirodni, običajno i institucionalno izloženi kritici svojih teza: na znanstvenim skupovima, u akademskoj i široj javnosti ili pak kroz procese anonimnog recenziranja njihovih članaka i knjiga. Kritika dolazi od drugih, ponekad dobronamjernih, ponekad manje dobronamjernih kolega, ali u široj slici, bez sumnje vođenih naznačenom vizijom znanstvenog i povijesnog napretka.
