Političke i socijalne implikacije kosovske krize u svijetlu postmodernog društva rizika
Political and social implications of the Kosovo crisis in the light of the postmodern risk society

Summary/Abstract: This paper tries to approach certain aspects of the origin and development of the political and social implications of the Kosovo crisis through the prism of the postmodern risk society. The paper also deals with the interaction and intertwining of the influence of global geopolitical processes and local political and social factors that make the Kosovo crisis very complex in the political, security, economic and social levels. The community in Kosovo is an illustrative example of societies that appear as a direct and first visible consequence of the process of globalization and modernization, and it is the subject of analysis. Ulrich Beck’s concept of risk society was taken as the theoretical basis, and the method of content analysis, comparative and hermeneutic, will be applied. The results of the study indicate the unequivocal existence of political and social implications of the crisis in Kosovo, based on which the hypothesis that Kosovo society can be seen as a postmodern risk society, exactly as defined by Ulrich Beck, is confirmed.
