CRUCIAL PROBLEMS OF THE POLITICAL THEORY OF SOCIALISTIC SELF—MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: Jovan Đorđević’s scientific work is a paradigm to political science included in creating of the Yugoslav political system. During more than three decades, this political system has generated the tension between the historical project of socialistic self-management and the reality of the society full of economic, socio-political and cultural contradictions. The political science has taken a double function: to express and develop theoretically possibilities and values of this historical project; and to participate in the practical constituting and realization of a political system in which social forces and political trends have their effects, more or less favourable or contrariant to this historical project. The political theory of socialistic self-management, created among this contradictions, has tried, in the first place, to point out the basic social values and norms, as well as the goals and means of institutional social action, expressing the trend of the more democratic and free society, the position and rights of men and communities as sovereign creators of the conditions of their own social life. In this way, from the trend of socialistic self-management, from the emancipating praxis of the society to which this trend belongs, the legitimate basis of the political system was drawn out and theoretically developed as a support to some and a counteraction to the other social and political forces really effecting the political system. As well as the trend of socialite self-management inside political system was faced with antagonistic social and political forces, in the same way, the political theory of socialistic self-management, specially in Jovan Đorđević’s work, was faced with authoritarian ideology resulted from the historical involution of classical theories and ideas of socialism, specially from the involution of marxism.
