This chapter discusses the role that endogenous and exogenous factors play in the constitution of a contemporary national sector of social enterprise (SE). A recent research report reveals that, in European countries, the SE sector has reached different levels of development in terms of number and activities of social enterprises; legal and institutional framework; networking/partnerships; financial instruments/incentives; and awareness of social entrepreneurship. The development path of the SE sector can generally be split into three stages: the initial stage; the institutionalisation stage; and the sustainability stage. The transition from the initial to the institutional stage is very much based on the capacity of the actors involved, and primarily that of social entrepreneurs. Different dimensions and elements of social entrepreneurship, as well as different types of association and foundation, have been present in Armenia for a long time.

Osnovni cilj doktorske disertacije predstavlja analiza činilaca nastanka i održivosti radničkog samoupravljanja, kao oblika kolektivnog delanja radničke klase. U cilju utvrđivanja determinističke vrednosti različitih faktora analiza je smeštena u uporedni okvir. Model radničkog samoupravljanja u obliku 'oporavljenih preduzeća' (Empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores – ERT) u Argentini do čije pojave je došlo u jeku dramatične ekonomske krize početkom dvehiljaditih izabran je kao iskustveni okvir na čijem primeru su empirijskim istraživanjem analizirani faktori održivosti. Pored usmerenosti analize na 'oporavljena preduzeća' u Argentini, predmet razmatranja predstavljao je i model radničkog samoupravljanja u Jugoslaviji. U radu se pošlo od hipoteze da su nastanak i održivost radničkog samoupravljanja uslovljeni kombinacijom unutrašnjih i spoljašnjih činilaca (odnosno činilaca unutar i izvan preduzeća). Preciznije, testirana je hipoteza da spoljašnji činioci osiguravaju opšte okvire pojave radničkog samoupravljanja, dok mogućnost njegove konsolidacije počiva na konstelaciji niza unutrašnjih faktora. Rezultati analize radničkog samoupravljanja u Jugoslaviji i Argentini pokazali su da je hipoteza o činiocima uspostavljanja i učvršćivanja radničkog samoupravljanja u velikoj meri potvrđena. Na osnovu relativno opširne istorijske i empirijske analize donosi se zaključak da spoljašnji faktori obezbeđuju opšte pretpostavke za pojavu radničkog samoupravljanja, dok unutrašnji ostvaruju direktan uticaj na održivost ovakvog jednog procesa. Preciznije, spoljašnje pretpostavke u vidu sistemskih i strukturalnih činilaca stvaraju opštu mogućnost nastanka radničkog samoupravljanja, dok je veza između ove grupe faktora i održivosti radničkog samoupravljanja posredovana organizacijskim i akcijskim činiocima koji imaju neposredan uticaj. Ipak, kao osnovni faktori koji organizuju i oblikuju ostale faktore ističu se sistemski činioci. U sklopu unutrašnjih faktora, poredbeni plan analiz, The primary objective of the doctoral dissertation is to analyze factors related to the emergence and sustainability of workers’ self-management, as a form of the collective action of the working class. In order to establish the deterministic values of different factors, the analysis was set within a comparative framework. A model of workers’ self-management in the form of “worker- recuperated enterprises” (Empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores – ERT) in Argentina, which emerged in the midst of the dramatic economic crisis in early 2000, was chosen as an experiential framework in which sustainability factors were analyzed applying empirical research. In addition to the focus on “worker-recuperated enterprises” in Argentina, the analysis also considered the workers’ self-management model in Yugoslavia. The dissertation started from the hypothesis that the sustainability of workers’ self-management is conditioned by a combination of internal and external factors (i.e. factors within and out of the company). More specifically, it tested the hypothesis that external factors ensure the general framework supporting the emergence of workers’ self-management, while the possibility of its consolidation relies on the constellation of a number of internal factors. The analysis of workers’ self-management in Yugoslavia and Argentina resulted in confirming the hypothesis about the factors affecting establishment and consolidation of workers’ self-management to a great extent. A relatively extensive historical and empirical analysis led to the conclusion that external factors ensure the general assumptions for the emergence of workers’ self-management, while internal factors have direct effects on the sustainability of such a process. In other words, external assumptions in the form of systemic and structural factors create the general possibility of the emergence of workers’ self-management, whereas the interconnection between these groups of factors and the sustainability o

U radu se diskutuje stepen socijalne uključenosti Roma u Srbiji kao kritični pokazatelj društvene kohezije. Na istorijskim i aktuelnim statističkim podacima se pokazuje da Romi u Srbiji, kao i u drugim evropskim zemljama, imaju vekovno iskustvo marginalizacije i diskriminacije. Od sedamdesetih godina prošlog veka postepeno su stvoreni politički i institucionalni uslovi za njihovu kulturnu, političku i društvenu afirmaciju. S porastom njihove vidljivosti i homogenosti postalo je još značajnije, uspešno ih uključiti u društvo i privredu i time postići viši nivo društvene kohezije. Od 2000. godine postignuto je dosta rezultata u socijalnom uključivanju Roma u Srbiji u ključnim oblastima (obrazovanje, zapošljavanje, ekonomsko osnaživanje, stanovanje, antidiskriminacija), ali stanje je daleko od poželjnog. Glavni problem je u političkoj kulturi - stereotipima i predrasudama o Romima i na njima baziranoj marginalizaciji i povremenoj diskriminaciji. Ovakva politička kultura ugrožava jačanje društvene kohezije u Srbiji., The paper discusses the level of social inclusion of Romani people in Serbia as a critical indicator of social cohesion. Historical and current statistical data show that Romani people in Serbia, as well as in other European countries, have centuries long experience of marginalization and discrimination. Since the 1970s, the political and institutional conditions for their cultural, political and social affirmation have been gradually constructed. With the growth of their visibility and homogeneousity, it became even more important to include Romani people in society and economy and thus to achieve higher level of social cohesion. Since 2000, many results have been achieved in the social inclusion of Romani people in Serbia in key areas (education, employment, economic empowerment, housing, anti-discrimination), but the state of affairs is still far from desirable. The main problem lies in political culture-stereotypes and prejudices about Romani people and marginalization and occasional discrimination based on them. Such political culture hampers the strengthening of social cohesion in Serbia.

Predmet razmatranja u doktorskoj disertaciji jesu rodne razlike u zaradama i sklonost izbora više od jednog posla, kao prakse tržišta rada koje postaju naročito vidljive u prvim godinama tranzicije. Ove prakse su karakteristične za sve privredne sisteme, a ne samo za zemlje u tranziciji. Međutim, njihov obim i struktura variraju u zavisnosti od dinamike prilagođavanja faktora koji utiču na funkcionisanje tržišta rada. Stoga je praćenje ovih praksi važno, budući da mogu imati šire implikacije na socijalnu i ekonomsku politiku zemalja u tranziciji. Njihova analiza u doktorskoj disertaciji odnosi se na period intenziviranja procesa privatizacije u Srbiji sa početka 2000-ih godina i završava se periodom kada su počeli da se uočavaju prvi pozitivni efekti strukturnih reformi koji su zatim usporeni ekonomskom krizom iz 2008. godine. Testirane su dve osnovne istraživačke hipoteze: (i) da li postoje statistički značajne razlike u zaradama između muškaraca i žena i da li se te razlike jednim delom mogu objasniti uticajem diskriminacione prakse u određivanju zarada, (ii) kao i da li sklonost izbora više od jednog posla zavisi od zarade i časova rada na osnovnom poslu, očekivane zarade od dodatnog zaposlenja, te od ostalih determinanti koje utiču na odluku pojedinca da se istovremeno angažuje na više poslova. Obe hipoteze su empirijski potvrđene. Informacionu osnovu čine podaci Ankete o životnom standardu na bazi koje je formirana serija panel podataka za 2002. i 2003. godinu, kao i serija uporednih podataka za 2007. godinu. Polazeći od činjenice da se stope aktivnosti i zaposlenosti muškaraca i žena značajno razlikuju, rodni jaz u zaradama je posmatran uzimajući u obzir selekciju zaposlenih u sektor zarada. Rodni jaz je najpre izračunat na bazi modela izbora podataka za uporedne podatke ocenjenog metodom maksimalne verodostojnosti. Prema ovom metodu, ocenjeni rodni jaz se smanjio sa 10,96% na 5,97% tokom posmatranog perioda. U drugom koraku, rodni jaz je ocenjen na bazi polup, Doctoral dissertation considers gender wage differences and the propensity to hold multiple jobs as practices of the labour market that become especially visible during the first years of the transition to a market economy. These practices are characteristic of all the economic systems not only in transition economies. However, their scope and structure vary depending on the dynamics of adjustment of the factors influencing the functioning of the labour market. These practices may affect the social and economic policies of the transition countries and therefore monitoring them becomes important. Their analysis in this doctoral dissertation refers to the period of intensification of the privatization process of the early 2000s in Serbia and ends with a period when the first positive effects of structural reforms began to be perceived, which were then slowed down by the economic crisis of 2008. Two principal research hypotheses are examined: (i) are there statistically significant wage differences between men and women and can this difference be partly explained by an influence of discriminatory practice in wage determination; (ii) does the propensity to hold more than one job depend on primary job wages and hours of work, expected wages from a second job, as well as on other determinants that may affect individuals’ decisions to be engaged in more than one job simultaneously. Both hypotheses are empirically confirmed. The data are taken from the Living standards measurement survey, based on which a panel sample for 2002 and 2003, as well as a cross-section data set for 2007 were created. Since both the employment and participation rates of men and women differ substantially, the gender wage gap is examined taking into account the correction for sample selection bias of those who choose the employment in the wage sector. The gender wage gap is initially computed by using the maximum likelihood estimation of the sample selection model for cross-section data. According

У дисертацији се разматра повезаност између економског раста и промена субјективног благостања популација економски развијених земаља. Конкретније, првенствено се врши преиспитивање тзв. Истерлиновог парадокса, односно тезе да економски раст и промене субјективног благостања популација дугорочно нису повезани.Основном анализом обухваћено је по четрнаест развијених европских земаља у периодима, са једне стране, од 2002. до 2014. и, са друге стране, од 1990. до 2008. године., In this doctoral thesis, the relationship between economic growth and changes in subjective well-being of populations in economically developed countries is examined. More specifically, the Easterlin paradox has been reassessed, i.e. the view that economic growth and changes of subjective well-being of populations are not related in the long term. Analysis includes fourteen developed European countries within periods 2000-2014 on the one hand, and 1990 to 2008 on the other.

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se stekne uvid u profesionalnu integraciju i vertikalnu pokretljivost žena zaposlenih u Upravi policije za grad Beograd, kao osnovnim karakteristikama njihovog profesionalnog položaja. Integracija podrazumeva zastupljenost žena u svim sektorima i na svim nivoima policijskih službi, i mogućnost pristupa različitim resursima od značaja za profesiju. Vertikalna pokretljivost je specifičan aspekt integracije koji pokazuje koliko je za žene otvoren pristup položajima na kojima se donose odluke i upravlja resursima. U istraživanju smo analizirali problem na društvenom, organizacionom i individualnom nivou. Na društvenom nivou žene su u podređenom položaju u odnosu na muškarce jer je srpsko društvo patrijarhalno. Na organizacionoj ravni žene su, pod pritiskom efekta staklenog plafona, profesionalne marginalizacije i segregacije, manje zastupljene u operativnim policijskim poslovima i na rukovodećim položajima. Na nivou svakodnevnice, žene su dvostruko opterećene poslom i porodicom, a simultano ispunjavanje profesionalnih i porodičnih obaveza umanjuje njihove mogućnosti da se potpuno posvete policijskoj karijeri..., The aim of this study was to gain insight into the professional integration and vertical mobility of women employed in the Belgrade City Police, as well as basic characteristics of their professional status. Integration involves the representation of women in all sectors and at all levels of police services, and access to various resources of importance to the profession. Vertical mobility is a specific aspect of integration that shows access for women to positions of decision-making and resources. In the study, we analyzed the problem on the social, organizational and individual level. At the social level, women are at a disadvantage compared to men because the Serbian society is patriarchal. At the organizational level, women are under pressure of effect of glass ceiling, professional marginalization and segregation, and their are less represented in operational police work and management positions. At the level of everyday life, women are doubly burdened with work and family, a simultaneous fulfillment of professional and family obligations which diminishes their ability to fully commit to a police career...

Predmet doktorske disertacije predstavlja komparativna analiza promene dominantnih vrednosnih orijentacija u društvima Srbije i Hrvatske, tokom perioda post-socijalističke transformacije. Početnu tačku predstavlja socijalistički sistem društvenih odnosa, to jest 1989. godina, dok je krajnja tačka određena konsolidacijom kapitalističkog sistema, odnosno 2003. godinom. Pored komparativne analize empirijske građe, koja je prikupljena putem anketnih istraživanja u okviru dva istraživačka projekta – Promene u klasnoj strukturi i pokretljivosti u SFRJ (1989) i South-Eastern European Social Survey Project (2003) – nastojali smo da dugotrajno opstajanje pojedinih vrednosnih obrazaca, odnosno slabiju ukorenjenost drugih, sagledamo ne samo iz perspektive aktuelnih društvenih procesa, već i s obzirom na širu istorijsko-razvojnu dinamiku dva društva. Rad je podeljen na dve velike analitičke celine: jedna koja se bavi istorijskim procesima dugog trajanja, uz nastojanje da se otkrivanjem sličnosti i specifičnosti u razvojnim putanjama društava Srbije i Hrvatske, objasne eventualne razlike u stepenu rasprostranjenosti proučavanih vrednosnih orijentacija; druga celina je empirijska i odnosi se na analizu promena u stepenu rasprostranjenosti pet odabranih vrednosnih dimenzija – autoritarnosti, patrijarhalnosti, nacionalizma, političkog i ekonomskog liberalizma – tokom perioda transformacije. Odabrane vrednosne dimenzije su podeljene u dve grupe: 1. trans-istorijske vrednosti (autoritarnost, patrijarhalnost i nacionalizam) i 2. sistemske vrednosti (politički i ekonomski liberalizam). Shodno ovoj podeli, testirane su dve hipoteze: 1. da je dugotrajni opstanak trans-istorijskih vrednosti u društvima Srbije i Hrvatske posledica zakasnele kapitalističke modernizacije na periferijskim osnovama, te da je njihova reprodukcija bila moguća u različitim sistemskim okvirima; i 2. da su isti procesi zakasnele kapitalističke modernizacije – tokom 19. i početkom 20. veka - onemogućili snažnije uko, The main subject of this doctoral dissertation is to compare changes in dominant value orientations in post-socialist societies of Serbia and Croatia. The starting point of the analysis is the year 1989, i. e. socialist system of social relations, while the end point is set to the year 2003, representing the period of consolidation of capitalist system of social relations. Besides secondary comparative analysis of empirical data, obtained in two large survey projects – Changes in the Class Structure and Social Mobility in SFRY (1989) and South-Eastern European Social Survey Project (2003) - we intended to explain long-term survival of certain value patterns and weaker rootedness of others not only from the perspective of current social processes, but also with regard to a broader historical and developmental dynamics of examined societies. The dissertation is, therefore, divided into two larger analytical units: in the first one the focus is on long-duree historical processes, with an aim of examining the similarities and specificities in developmental paths of Serbian and Croatian societies, in order to explain eventual differences in the prevalence of examined value patterns; the second part of the dissertation is dedicated to empirical analysis of several value orientations – authoritarian, patriarchal, nationalist, and liberal (economic and political). The chosen value dimensions are being divided into two groups: 1. trans-historical values (comprising authoritarianism, patriarchalism and nationalism), and 2. systemic values (political and economic liberalism). Having in mind this classification, we have tested two major hypotheses: 1. that long-term survival of trans-historic values in two societies is the consequence of the late capitalist modernization on peripheral grounds (during late 19th and early 20th century); and 2. the same processes disabled stronger historical entrenchment of political and economic liberalism among wider social strata (thus, the str

Интензивна пољопривредна производња представаља један од најагресивнијих утицаја човека на природу чије последице дугорочно угрожавају животну средину у руралним областима. У овом раду истраживали смо колико телевизијски садржаји намењени руралној популацији, а посебно пољопривредним произвођачима, представљају извор образовања које се односи на заштиту животне средине и могу ли да утичу на промену њиховог понашања и прихватање позитивних еколошких ставова. Истраживање је спроведено у два смера. Први се односио на анкетно истраживања еколошке свести и еколошких пракси пољопривредника у руралним областима Србије. Овај део истраживања спроведен је на случајном узорку од 314 становника у 157 сеоских насеља која су лоцирана у 110 општина на целокупној територији Републике Србије. Постојећи ниво свести мерен је преко еколошких ставова, пракси и понашања као и утврђивањем њихове зависности од социо демографских фактора. Други део истраживања је утврђивање присутности еколошких и едукативних садржаја у програмима који су намењени становницима руралних подручја као и њихових карактеристика у односу друге врсте садржаја. Анализа је обухватила четири телевизије које имају националну фреквенцију од којих су две јавне и две комерцијалне, а за анализу су одабрани специјални програми намењени пољопривредним произвођачима.Резултати показују да рурална популација издваја телевизију као најважнији извор информисања о загађењима животне средине која потичу из пољопривредне производње али да концепт и садржај најважнијих емисија намењен пољопривредним произвођачима на телевизијама са националном фреквенцом нису прилагођени циљу развоја еколошке свести руралне популације, Intensive farming presents one of the most aggressive human impacts on nature, and its long-term consequences threaten the rural areas where agriculture is most intensive. Changing the behavior and attitudes of agricultural producers towards the environment is one of the steps necessary to address this problem. That task, however, is a challenge for the whole society and its agricultural, educational and media policy. In this study, we investigated how much TV content intended for the rural population, especially agricultural producers, presents a source of education relating to the protection of the environment and how much it can affect changes in their behavior and contribute to the acceptance of positive environmental attitudes. The survey was conducted in two directions. The first related to survey research of ecological awareness and environmental practices of agricultural producers in the rural areas of Serbia. This research was conducted within a random sample of 314 residents in 157 rural settlements, which are located in 110 municipalities in the entire territory of the Republic of Serbia. The current level of awareness was measured through environmental attitudes, practices and behaviors, establishing their dependence on the social and demographic factors. The second part of the research is the analysis and detection of environmental and educational content in programs that are intended for residents of rural areas and their impact on the formation of environmental awareness. The analysis included four televisions with national frequency, two of which are public and two commercial, and for the analyze, special programs dedicated to agricultural producers were selected. The results show that rural populations stands television as the most important source of information on environmental pollution originating from agricultural production but the concept and content of the most important producer of agricultural emissions designed to televisions with nationa

This paper deals with the problem of political clientelism in Serbia broadly defined as the selective distribution of benefits (money, jobs, information, a variety of privileges) to individuals or clearly defined groups in exchange for political support. The main objective is to explain why political clientelism is widespread in Serbia and which key factors determine its shape and intensity. The explanation is based on the analysis of historical factors of development of clientelism in Serbia, as well as on analysis of data from a recent research on informal relations between political and economic elites in Serbia and Kosovo. The paper concludes that clientelism and informality have represented one of the structuring principles of socioeconomic and political development of Serbian society under the conditions of weak formal institutions and socio-historical heritage of late modernization. On the other hand, since 2000 economic and political sphere in Serbia became more open and competitive which influenced change in the character of clientelism in Serbia - the increased rivalry among different clientelistic (sub) networks heightened the chance of opportunistic defection even at the top level, which made political power of patrons more tradable and the relation inside the power network less asymmetric.

Ovaj rad se fokusira na shvatanja, stavove i motive koji utiču na odlučivanje poljoprivrednih proizvođača o ključnim pitanjima koja se odnose na životnu sredinu i poljoprivrednu proizvodnju. Identifikacija ekološke svesti sprovedena je preko njenih osnovnih dimenzija: stavova, ponašanja i spremnosti ispitanika za učešće u rešavanju ekoloških problema. U empirijskom delu, u radu se procenjuje da li i koliko ekološke prakse prate ekološke stavove ispitanika. Jedna od hipoteza je da formalno obrazovanje kao važna determinanta značajno utiče na stavove o zaštiti životne sredine i primenu pozitivnih ekoloških praksi. Takođe je ispitivano u kojoj meri način i nivo informisanosti u domenu poljoprivrede i zaštite životne sredine utiču na stavove, prakse i angažovanje poljoprivrednih proizvođača u očuvanju životne sredine., The identification of environmental awareness in this paper was conducted through its basic dimensions: attitudes, behavior and willingness of the respondents to participate in solving environmental problems. The paper focuses on understandings, attitudes and motivations that influence the decision of farmers regarding key issues related to the environment and agricultural production. In the empirical section, this paper assesses whether and how environmental practices follow environmental attitudes of the respondents. One of the hypothesis is that formal education, as an important determinant, has a significant impact on the attitudes regarding environmental protection and the application of positive environmental practices. What was also examined was the extent of and the manner in which information in the field of agriculture and environmental protection, influences the attitudes, practices and involvement of farmers in preserving the environment.

Predmet doktorske disertacije je razmatranje primera i mogućnosti primene metoda analize sadržaja u sociologiji. Osnovni cilj je sistematizovanje postojećih metodoloških saznanja o analizi sadržaja u sociologiji, kao i ukazivanje na najznačajnija istraživanja nastala primenom ovog postupka i njihove doprinose razvoju samog postupka i sociološkog istraživanja uopšte. Metodološkom analizom ovih istraživanja može se doći do načina za unapređivanje postupka o kojem je reč, i uopšte i u različitim oblastima njegove primene. Pod analizom sadržaja se podrazumeva sociološki istraživački postupak čijom se primenom teži izgradnji precizne, objektivne, pouzdane i sistematične iskustvene evidencije o društvenoj komunikaciji. Ovaj postupak predstavlja najpogodnije sredstvo za proučavanje različitih oblika društvene komunikacije, čije je analiziranje neophodno da bi se društvo moglo potpunije proučiti. Osnovni elementi društvene komunikacije su odašiljač poruke, sadržaj poruke i primalac poruke, a razlikuje se i više pratećih elemenata. Mogućnosti postupka uslovljene su načinom njegovog određenja pa se u disertaciji razmatraju najznačajnije definicije analize sadržaja, a osnovna nesaglasnost između različitih autora odnosi se na njen tradicionalno kvantitativan karakter. Usled toga se prikazuju različiti oblici analize sadržaja: kvantitativan, kvalitativan i mešoviti. Predmet razmatranja su i mogućnosti ostvarenja epistemoloških načela objektivnosti, validnosti, sistematičnosti, pouzdanosti, preciznosti i opštosti prilikom primene postupka. Prisutno je nastojanje da se odgovori na pitanje da li između kvantitativnog i kvalitativnog oblika postupka postoje značajne epistemološke razlike. Ispituje se i odnos analize sadržaja sa drugim sociološkim istraživačkim postupcima, tačnije sa posmatranjem, razgovorom i anketnim istraživanjima. Posmatra se i odnos analize sadržaja sa postupcima uzročne analize, odnosno sa uporednim metodom i multivarijantnom analizom. Potom se razmatra izvođe, The subject of this doctoral dissertation is to consider the examples and possibilities of application of content analysis method in sociology. The main aim is to systematize current methodological knowledge about content analysis in sociology, conjointly with the emphasis of the most important researches carried out by means of this method and their contribution to the development of the method itself and sociological research in general. A mechanism to enhance the method in question and possibilities of its application in various fields can be found by methodological analysis of these researches. Content analysis is understood as a sociological research method which, when applied, aims to create more precise, objective, reliable and systematic empirical evidence about social communication. This method is perceived as the most appropriate means for studying various forms of social communication, the analysis which is crucial for a thorough study of society. The main elements of social communication are message transmitter, message content and message receiver along with other conjoint elements. Possibilities of this method are conditioned by means of its definition, thus this doctoral dissertation analyzes the most important definitions of content analysis while the main disagreement among different authors refers to its traditionally quantitative character. Due to the previously mentioned, various forms of content analysis are displayed: quantitative, qualitative and mixed. The subject of the study are also the possibilities of achieving epistemological principles of objectivity, validity, systematicity, reliability, precision and generality when applying the method. It is endeavored to answer the question wheter there are significant epistemological differences between the qualitative and quantitative form of the method. The relation between content analysis and other sociological research methods is studied – more precisely: the relation between content analysis

Produbljivanje ekonomske krize u Argentini krajem 90-ih i početkom 2000-ih uz drastičan pad nacionalnog dohotka, visoke stope inflacije, masovnu nezaposlenost stanovništva pratila je pojava preduzeća koja su oporavili njihovi radnici (špan. Empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores - ERT), firmi preuzetih u stečajnom postupku od strane radnika organizovanih na principima samoupravljanja i u pravnoj formi kooperativa. Njihova pojava, međutim, bila je uslovljena i određenim istorijski uspostavljenim obrascima, poput tradicionalnog državnog intervencionizma, dugoročnog postojanja sindikalnih organizacija, duboke ukorenjenosti radničkih borbi, razvijenim oblicima kooperativizma i sl. Na osnovu rezultata poslednjeg istraživanja, u Argentini danas postoji više od 300 ERT koja zapošljavaju preko 13000 radnika (Ruggeri et al 2014). Osnovni cilj rada je da se ukaže na najznačajnije ekonomske i društvene pretpostavke pojave ERT tokom poslednje dve decenije. Pored toga, ovde se nastoji da se na osnovu rezultata istraživanja ERT koja su realizovana u poslednjih deset godina i istorijske analize normativno-institucionalnog okvira ukaže na način na koji su zakonski i institucionalni okvir uslovili oblike i domete razvijenosti ERT., The phenomenon of ERTs in Argentina (Empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores) gains popularity from the financial crisis years of 1999-2002. The resulting drastic fall in gross national product, high rates of inflation, increased levels of unemployment, poverty etc., reflected the severe weaknesses and limitations of the neoliberal institutions in Argentina. This phenomenon was also determined by specific historical patterns, such as the state interventionism, a long tradition of trade unionism and workers' struggles as well as a long and extensive tradicion of cooperativism. According to the latest survey, there are more than 300 ERT in Argentina (311), employing over 13.000 workers. (Ruggeri et al 2014). The survey results show that 95% of the ERT are self-organized under the organizational and legal framework of workers' cooperatives. The main objective of this paper is to provide a political economic and social overview of the rise and establishment of ERTs in Argentina over the past two decades. Moreover, the legal and institutional preconditions that significantly encourage, limit, and condition the scope of workers' cooperatives, will be analyzed. In this analysis we will rely on the results of research on ERT that have been done in last 10 years, as well as on historical analysis of legal and institutional framework.

The article analyzes the support for the rule of law among Serbian citizens. The research data show that support for the rule of law depends on the structural socio-economic position of respondents and their position on the transition winners and losers scale i.e., the level of fulfillment of their interests in the new system. There is differentiation among better educated respondents. Those who benefited from the new system recognize the importance of the rule of law. Others, due to their knowledge and understanding of the functioning of the system, are more disappointed and more critical towards it.

Одрживо коришћење природних ресурса уопште, па тако и риболовног ресурса, захтева добро и на научним принципима засновано познавање онога што се користи. Анализом социо-економских карактеристика привредних рибара, техника које примењују, последица риболовних активности на укупан рибљи фонд, тржишта на које пласирају улов, степена хармонизованости и конзистентности законодавства из ове области, као и утицаја хидролошких и климатских фактора на риболовну делатност, могуће је стећи увид у тренутно стање, као и у очекиване трендове у овој области. Мултидисциплинарно сагледавање проблема и потенцијалних решења је неопходно у циљу успоставања одрживог управљања и комерцијалног коришћења риболовног ресурса на Дунаву према највишим еколошким стандардима и принципима одрживог развоја. Циљ је истражити односе између значајних елемената који указују на стање ресурса и/или утичу на њега, а то су: врсте риба, станишта, социо-економски и политички фактори. Општи циљ дисертације је сагледавање карактеристика и валоризација привредног риболова на Дунаву на основу три кључна аспекта одрживог развоја, а који истовремено чине и основу одрживог коришћења природних ресурса: социолошког, економског и биолошког. Биолошки аспект ових истраживања се у највећој мери односи на еколошке проблеме, с обзиром да се ради о специфичном природном ресурсу на који утиче не само риболовна експлоатација његовог економски значајног дела, већ и вишенаменско коришћење водених ресурса и екосистема уопште. Све мање заступљеним традиционалним екстензивним риболовом, а порастом осталих антропогених утицаја на слатководне екосистеме и увећаним утицајем криволова, дошло је до прелова и пада бројности појединих аутохтоних популација риба, као и све веће заступљености алохотних врста. Познавање риболовног притиска на основу броја риболоваца, њиховог риболовног напора и количине улова, основни је предуслов за успешно управљање рибљим фондом као природним ресурсом, што се у рибарствено уређеним срединама остварује п, Sustainable use of natural resources in general and thus fishing resources requires application of good scientific principles, based on the sound knowledge of what is used. In order to gain insight into the current status and the expected trends in this area, it is necessary to conduct the analysis of the socio-economic characteristics of commercial fishermen, techniques they apply, impacts of fishery on the overall fish stocks, markets where fishermen distribute their catch, level of harmonization and consistency of legislation in this area, as well as of the impact of hydrological and climatic factors on fishery. It is critical to employ multidisciplinary approach to assess problems and potential solutions regarding sustainable and commercial utilization of fishery resources in the Danube, in accordance with the highest ecological standards and principles of sustainable development. The overall objective of the dissertation was to explore the relationships between important elements that indicate the state of the resource, such as fish species, habitats, socio-economic and political factors. The aim was to assess characteristics and the economic value of the commercial fishery on the Danube, based on the three key aspects of the sustainable use of natural resources - social, economic and biological. The biological significance of the research is mostly related to environmental problems, given that this is a specific natural resource whose exploitation affects not only the fish stocks, but also water resources and ecosystems in general. As a result of intensified fishery pressure, increased presence of illegal fishery, as well as other human impacts on freshwater ecosystems, there are indices of overfishing and of the decline of some native fish populations, followed by an increasing presence of alochthonous species. Knowledge about the present and historic fishery pressures based on the number of fishermen, their fishing effort and catch quantities, is a prerequis

Cilj ove disertacije je bio da se istraži na koji način i u kojoj meri se savremene informaciono‐komunikacione tehnologije, a posebno Internet, integrišu u postojeći mrežni obrazac društvenosti i kakva je njihova društvena funkcija. Na teorijskom nivou, Internet smo analizirali kao tehnologiju za posredovanje interpersonalne komunikacije koja nastaje u krilu društva u specifičnom istorijskom trenutku kao proizvod radikalne faze modernizacije, odnosno globalne društvene transformacije koja se ubrzava u poslednjoj četvrtini dvadesetog veka. Jedno od važnih obeležja ove transformacije je to što se društveni odnosi sve više individualizuju kao posledica njihovog iskorenjivanja iz lokalizovanih konteksta društvene interakcije dok društvene mreže postaju centralna forma organizovanja društvenih interakcija u savremenom društvu. Ono što je za nas ključno je da komunikacione tehnologije, a posebno Internet igraju, veoma značajnu ulogu u procesu društvenog reukorenjivanja, pomažući da se odnosi koji su „izdignuti“ iz neposrednog konteksta interakcije reuspostave ili uspostave potpuno novi, bez obzira na prostorno vremenska ograničenja. Na analitičkom nivou, naše polazište je bilo da Internet igra značajnu ulogu u procesu društvenog umrežavanja individualizovanih pojedinaca i to kroz dve osnovne funkcije: transmisionu i prokreativnu. Transmisiona funkcija se odnosi na upotrebu Interneta u cilju održavanja postojećih offline odnosa, gde se Internet upotrebljava kao kanal za društvenu interakciju. Prokreativna funkcija se odnosi na održavanje i kreiranje novih, online odnosa, gde se Internet upotrebljava kao prostor za društvenu interakciju. Kroz širok analitički pristup u disertaciji se pokazuje kako se ove dve komunikacione funkcije Interneta razlikuju i okupiraju različite segmente interpersonalne interakcije u društvenim mrežama korisnika Interneta. Na empirijskom nivou, cilj je bio da verifikujemo teorijsko‐analitičke pretpostavke na srpskim korisnicima Interneta, zbog čeg, The aim of this dissertation was to explore the manner and the extent to which modern information‐communication technologies, specifically the Internet, have become integrated into the existing network‐based form of social behavior, as well as to determine their social function. On a theoretical level, we analyzed the Internet as a technology that mediates the interpersonal communication which sprang to life in the midst of society at a peculiar historical moment and as a result of a radical phase of modernization, or rather, a global social transformation gathering momentum in the last quarter of the twentieth century. A major characteristic of the transformation in question is the growing individualization of social relationships due to their disembedding out of the localized contexts of social interaction which coincides with social networks increasingly becoming a central form of organizing social interaction in modern society. What we find crucial is that communication technologies, especially the Internet, play a very important role in the process of social reembedding by enabling the relationships lifted out from the immediate context of interaction to be reestablished or by generating entirely new relationships regardless of spatial or temporal restrictions. On an analytical level, our premise was that the Internet proves highly instrumental in the process of organizing individualized persons into viable social networks, most obviously so in its two basic functions: transmissional and procreative. The transmissional function refers to the Internet’s contribution to maintaining existing offline relationships, with the Internet acting as a channel for social interaction. The procreative function relates to creating and maintaining new online relationships, with the Internet serving as the space for social interaction. Having adopted a wide analytical approach, the thesis highlights the differences between these two communicational functions occupying different

U tekstu se analizira promena regrutacijskih obrazaca ekonomske i političke elite u Srbiji na osnovu podataka prikupljenih u našim anketnim istraživanjima u 1989, 1993. i 2004. godini. Naša hipoteza je da su se obrasci regrutacije elita promenili nakon promene političkog režima u 2000. godini, ali u drugačijem pravcu nego tokom 1990-ih. Iz dugoročne perspektive, očekujemo dalji porast značaja visokog obrazovanja za regrutaciju elita i izjednačavanje njegovog značaja za regrutaciju političke i ekonomske elite. S druge strane, očekujemo opadanje značaja pripadnosti vladajućim političkim partijama kod ekonomske elite, zajedno sa rastućim značajem društvenog umrežavanja u periodu produžene slabosti institucionalnog okruženja. Da bismo proverili našu opštu hipotezu opisaćemo među- i unutar-generacijske obrasce pokretljivosti. Značaj obrazovanja, pripadnosti političkim strankama i umrežavanja kao kanala pokretljivosti analiziramo putem modela logističke regresije. Takođe, poredimo promene u regrutacijskim obrascima elite sa promenama u obrascima pokretljivosti društvenih klasa u Srbiji, u periodu 1989-2004., In this paper the changing patterns of economic and political elite recruitment in Serbia are studied on the basis of three sets of data, collected in our surveys done in 1989, 1993 and 2004. Our hypothesis was that elite recruitment patterns changed after the political regime change in 2000, but in a different direction compared to the period of the 1990s. From a long-term perspective, we expect continuing increases in the relevance of higher education for elite recruitment, and equalization of the relevance of higher education for both the political and economic elites. On the other hand, we expect decreasing relevance for political affiliation among the economic elite, accompanied by an increasing importance of social networking during the period of a prolonged weak institutional environment. In order to test our general hypothesis we describe inter- and intra-generational patterns of recruitment. The relevance of education, party membership and networking as mobility channels is analyzed by model of logistic regression. We also compare changes in patterns of elites’ recruitment with changing mobility patterns of social classes in Serbia, 1989-2004.

Problem institucionalne promene je jedna od centralnih tačaka post-socijalističke transformacije i glavna osa njene održivosti. U Srbiji je ovaj problem bio izražen kroz pitanje kako iskoristiti društvenu energiju skoncentrisanu u građanskom pokretu tokom 90-ih godina prošlog veka za (re)konstrukciju stabilnih društvenih institucija. U ovom radu moja namera je da testiram da li je socijalni kapital koji je očito bio akumuliran u Srbiji u građanskim protestima opstao u formi pozitivne vrednosne orijentacije ka izgradnji demokratskog i tržišno orijentisanog društva. Od mogućih načina shvatanja socijalnog kapitala ja koristim ono najšire koje podrazumeva kolektivni karakter socijalnog kapitala (Štulhofer, 2000). Za empirijsku proveru relacije iz naslova koristim podatke iz nekoliko anketnih istraživanja obavljenih tokom protesta i nakon političkih promena iz 2000. godine., The problem of institutional change is one of the focal points of post-socialist transformation and the major axes of it's sustainability. In Serbia this problem was expressed through the question of how to use the social energy that was concentrated in civic movement throughout the 90's for (re)building of stable social institutions. In this paper, my intention is to test whether the social capital that was apparently accumulated in Serbia in the civic protests can persist in the form of positive value orientation towards building of democratic and market oriented society. Out of many ways to understand social capital I am referring to the most wide one, the one that assumes collective trait of the social capital (Štulhofer 2000). Data from couple of surveys conducted in Serbia, during civic protests and after political change of 2000, are used to test the relation from the title empirically.

Koncept ekonomskih strategija domaćinstava nastao je u proučavanjima siromaštva u Africi i Latinskoj Americi, da bi se kasnije razvijao u istraživanjima društvenih i ekonomskih promena razvijenih kapitalističkih društava Zapada. Povezivanje strukture i akcije, makro i mikro nivoa, postavljanje domaćinstva pre nego pojedinca za jedinicu analize, omogućilo je bolje razumevanje promena položaja i ekonomskog ponašanja domaćinstava u uslovima socio-ekonomskih promena. Stoga je koncept doživeo značajan uspon u istraživanjima postsocijalističkih kao i 'post-fordističkih društava'. U Srbiji je istraživanje ekonomskih strategija domaćinstava sprovedeno u dva talasa (u leto 2000. godine i jesen 2002). Istraživanje je pokazalo da na planu socio-ekonomskog položaja domaćinstava nije došlo do značajnijih promena, ali da su one evidentne na planu akcije (ekonomskog ponašanja domaćinstava i pojedinaca). Pokazalo se da su pasivno-defanzivne strategije u opadanju, a da pro-aktivne, posebno radne strategije pokazuju rastuće trendove., Concept of household strategies was firstly used in poverty surveys in Africa and Latin America, and lately developed in economic changes surveys in Western developed societies. Connecting the structure and action, macro and micro level of analysis and focusing on households, rather than individual as basic unit of analysis, the concept opened possibilities for better understanding of household economic behavior during social and economic changes. New developments concept experienced in numerous surveys in post-socialist as well as 'post-fordists' societies. The economic household strategies surveys were conducted in Serbia in two waves - in summer of 2000. and autumn of 2002. Comparative analysis of results has not show significant changes in socio-economic position of households. However, changes were evident in the field of action (economic strategies of households and individuals). Decreasing of passive and defensive strategies and increasing of pro-active, particularly working strategies were significant trends from survey.

Ovim radom se nastoje sumirati prednosti koje korišćenje razvijene statističke metodologije u sociološkim istraživanjima može doneti na naučno-saznajnom planu. Osnovanost upotrebe nekih metoda multivarijacione analize pronalazi se u dugoj istoriji konvergencije dve metodologije, sociološke i statističke, koja počiva na trajnoj potrebi za društvenim istraživanjima i potrebi da se ta istraživanja sprovedu na precizan i pouzdan način. Od početka ovog veka, kada statistika i sociologija dobijaju svoj savremeni izgled, kontakti između dve nauke postaju sve intenzivniji, da bi u drugoj polovini ovog veka razvoj njihovih metodologija postao interaktivan. Ovaj napredak se u polju simultanog tretmana višestrukih merenja najjasnije ispoljava kod analize kategorijalnih varijabli bazirane na višesmernim tabelama kontigencije. Razvoj računarske tehnologije je doveo do razvoja loglinearnih i logit modela i njihove rasprostranjene upotrebe u sociološkim istraživanjima. Primena multivarijacione analize u empirijskom istraživanju uzajamnih, a posebno uzročnih povezanosti društvenih pojava dovodi do napretka sociologije na ukupnom saznajnom planu. Na ovaj način dolazi do ujednačavanja merenja i klasifikovanja i do konstituisanja formalnih standarda komunikacije na području istraživanja. Osim toga, postiže se bolja proverljivost i objektivnost novih saznanja, kao i veća preciznost. Konačno, primenom ovih metoda su olakšani dublje poniranje u suštinu pojave, ispod manifestne ravni i sinteza pojmova na višem nivou apstrakcije., In this article, an attempt has been made to summarize the advantages the use of advanced statistical methodology in sociological research could bring on epistemological level. The foundation for the use of some multivariate methods could be found in long history of convergence between sociological and statistical methodology, which was based on permanent need for social researches as well as on need to conduct this researches in reliable and precise way. Since the beginning of this century, when both sociology and statistics came to their contemporary outlook, contact between two sciences has become more and more intensive, leading to an interactive development of their methodologies in second half of this century. In the field of simultaneous treatment of multiple measurements this progress is most obvious on the categorical variables analysis based on multiway tables of contingency. Development of computer technology led to the development of log-linear and logit models and their wide spread use in sociological research. The use of multivariate analysis in empirical research of mutual, and especially causal, relations between social phenomena brings sociology to the more developed position on general epistemological level. This way measurements and classifications could be unified, and formal standards of communication in the field of research could be constituted. Also, better verification and objectivity of new knowledge, as well as higher precision, could be achieved. Finally, deeper penetration under the manifest level, to the essence of the phenomenon, and conceptual synthesis on a higher level of abstraction could be made easier.
