Ograničenost politika priznanja u zahtevima za redistribucijom
LIMITATIONS OF REDISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS THAT COME FROM RECOGNITION POLICIES

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the scope of redistribution requirements that come from recognition policies. Politic of recognition, that is, difference policies, basically make redistributive claims based on recognition of the specific way of life of a particular social group. These are, above all, requests coming from the LGBT community, minority ethnic communities and women’s groups, and in earlier times from the labor movement. on the one hand, such a theoretical position offers a good basis for the practical political mobilization of members of a given group and historical examples of organizing on the basis of a common identity are arguments in favor of the politics of recognition. By strengthening a specific identity, a sense of solidarity within the group develops, which creates the preconditions for successful political action. On the other hand, there is the problem of defining the boundaries of the group and exclusion because they do not belong to the group, although persons may be in equally poor economic position, which is the basis of criticism from universalist positions. in addition to problematizing the limitations of redistribution requirements that come from recognition policies, the paper also examines the possibilities of co-operation of identically defined groups through different alternative models of democracy.
