Following Seyla Benhabib, the “democratic iterations” that have been achieved in the framework of human rights will be presented, giving some examples at national and international levels. Finally, the changes and challenges in women’s demands for rights in current scenarios will be analysed.","PeriodicalId":43401,"journal":{"name":"Politicka Misao-Croatian Political Science Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67617729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the one hand, the paper argues that health is of particular concern to the modern sovereign state and its security, and that the vaccine as a civilizational achievement is one of the most vital mechanisms for safeguarding public health and, by extension, national security. On the other hand, the paper contends that vaccine hesitancy should also be considered a threat to national security. What vaccine hesitancy means and what factors contribute to it is something of a blind spot in Serbia’s public and academic discourse. The survey findings have shown that vaccine hesitancy is influenced by various factors and conclude that Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in Serbia can be considered a threat to national security.","PeriodicalId":43401,"journal":{"name":"Politicka Misao-Croatian Political Science Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49513593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As is widely known, the liberal-democratic platform has dominated global relations after the end of the Cold War. Implemented power approaches are studied from theoretical perspectives of liberalism/constructivism standpoints and their realist critique. Canada has been presented mostly as a middle power in international relations trying to find its specific role as a mediator and balancer among superpowers. On the other hand, the EU is classified predominantly as a normative power with tendencies to act as a great power from some point of view. In the paper, we analyse both entities through the recent concept of ‘awkward power’, whereby states have a so-called “dubious character”, acting in-between the potential of great and middle powers.","PeriodicalId":43401,"journal":{"name":"Politicka Misao-Croatian Political Science Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67617796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The full-scale war started in 1992 after the dissolution of the USSR and ended with the May 1994 armistice. In the following quarter century, a peaceful resolution of the conflict was mediated by OSCE’s Minsk Group in a form of facilitative mediation. The warring sides have never reached a final solution and a new war started in the autumn of 2020. This paper examines how facilitative mediation was conducted by the Minsk Group and why it eventually failed. The conclusion of this paper is that the combination of the weak mandate and the co-chairs’ separate and incongruous interests in the Caucasus resulted in the failure of the conflict resolution in Nagorno-Karabakh.","PeriodicalId":43401,"journal":{"name":"Politicka Misao-Croatian Political Science Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67617745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I hypothesize that as violence increases in a given area, the number of individuals joining the Croatian military forces will also increase. Using a dataset of daily event data and the number of participants per municipality, I test this hypothesis in a generalized linear model.

The catastrophic outbreak in 1625 found Hobbes working on the first ever direct translation of Thucydides’ History from Greek to English. This fact allows for the supposition that Hobbes paid special attention to Thucydides’ masterful account of the plague at Athens and its social and political consequences. These circumstances authorise the here proposed enquiry into the relation between Hobbes’s understanding of the state of nature in Leviathan and the epidemics, mediated by his experience of the plague and the translation of the plague narrative in Thucydides’ History.","PeriodicalId":43401,"journal":{"name":"Politicka Misao-Croatian Political Science Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48328446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

U razlici spram etičkih, pravne su dužnosti one na čije ispunjenje pojedinac može biti prisiljen. Moment prisile važan je za ovaj rad jer je, prema Kantu, pravo uvijek povezano s ovlašću na prisilu. Ishodište je pravne dužnosti napuštanja prirodnog stanja inteligibilni posjed koji pojedincu pripada kao stečeno pravo već u prirodnom stanju. Pravo inteligibilnog posjeda, koje se odnosi na posjedovanje izvanjskih predmeta, ili posjedovanje neovisno od empirijskih uvjeta, podrazumijeva dužnost svih ostalih da se suzdrže od uporabe predmeta koje smo prvi zaposjeli, ali i moralnu ovlast prisile nad onim pojedincima koji to odbijaju učiniti. No, budući da u prirodnom stanju nema “zajedničkog suca”, odnosno javne vlasti koja provodi pravo putem općih zakona, prisila je proizvoljna i ovisi o partikularnim interpretacijama pravnih situacija. Proizvoljnost prisile podrazumijeva mogućnost da će sloboda pojedinca, koja se izvanjski očituje preko prava inteligibilnog posjeda, biti ugrožena. Iz tog razloga drugoga se može prisiliti da zajedno sa mnom stupi u građansko stanje, čime se pod istim uvjetima podvrgavamo javnoj zakonodavnoj vlasti, koja utvrđuje i osigurava ono što svakome pripada te tako predstavlja nužan uvjet punog ozbiljenja čovjekove slobode.","PeriodicalId":43401,"journal":{"name":"Politicka Misao-Croatian Political Science Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67618074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Na temelju podataka dobivenih terenskim anketnim istraživanjima u razdoblju od 1999. do 2020. godine nastoje se identificirati faktori koji utječu na to da socijaldemokratski birači glasuju, odnosno ne glasuju za stranku koja tu političku ideologiju predstavlja – SDP. U radu se testira generalizirani linearni mješoviti model u kojemu se godine anketiranja tretiraju kao slučajni efekti. Kao značajni faktori koji objašnjavaju zašto neki socijaldemokrati glasuju za SDP, a neki ne pokazuju se samoidentifikacija na ljestvici lijevo-desno te stav o pobačaju, pri čemu su SDP-ovi birači koji se nalaze na ljevijim pozicijamas kloniji podržavati slobodno odlučivanje žene o prekidu trudnoće od drugih socijaldemokratskih birača.
