THE LEGAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL DIMENSIONS OF ĐORĐE TASIĆ’S PACIFISM: BETWEEN IDEALISM AND REALPOLITIK

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the legal and philosophical dimensions of the pacifism of Đorđe Tasić, a prominent Serbian legal theorist of the 20th century. Through an analysis of his work, it explores the concept of relative pacifism, which advocates for the achievement of peace through the strengthening of international legal institutions, mutual cooperation among states, and the promotion of justice, while not rejecting the legitimate use of force in exceptional cases. The paper emphasizes that Tasić’s pacifism represents a synthesis of idealism and realpolitik, incorporating a critique of nationalism and absolute pacifism, while being aware of the practical limitations of its application in the interwar period dominated by national interests. It concludes that the viability of his theory depends on the political will for international cooperation and the efficacy of legal mechanisms, establishing Tasić as an important theorist for future discussions on international relations.
