The purpose of the study is to determine the prospects for the development of the library as an intercultural hub. Methodology of the study. The authors have used systemic, cultural-historical, descriptive, and integrative approaches. The scientific novelty lies in the development of the concept of the library as an intercultural hub that requires the emergence of a new way of thinking, as well as in justifying the expediency of this cultural institution in contemporary globalized society. Conclusions. The results of the study lead to the conclusion that the expansion of the functional field of library institutions and transformation of the library into an intercultural hub will facilitate intercultural dialogue, in which different vectors of socio-cultural interaction are not mutually exclusive, but complement each other. The provisions and conclusions drawn in the paper can be used in the development of innovative strategies for library institutions. The authors see the directions of further research in the development of special educational and training programs aimed at training librarians – intercultural leaders.

Држава и неолиберални модели урушавања националних политичких институција

Author(s): Živojin Đurić,Miša Stojadinović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 4/2018

This paper represents a critical analysis of the importance of the national state in the contemporary society. The position of national states is often seen through the prism of neoliberalism and neorealism as the two most influential approaches in the theory of international relations. In this paper the authors use a combination of several different methods. As a basic method of their paper the authors use a geopolitical method. This method is especially important because it enables the examination of causes and consequences of the contemporary political processes in the international level. Rapid global changes have led to a substantial redistribution of the economic, political and military power, restructuring simultaneously international system and creating multipolarity. This multipolar world is not easy to understand. A nation-state during its history has drastically changed adapting to the contemporary challenges. The concept of sovereign nation-state that we know from the Westphalian Peace has been replaced recently by the idea of limited sovereignty. The process of globalization is accompanied by the increase of numerous risks and inequalities which have led to increased uncertainty in all areas of social life. This process is characterised by the strengthening of the statehood and sovereignty of the world’s leading powers. But on the other hand, smaller countries are at the same time under pressure from the leading economies. Transnational corporations which are trying to accumulate capital at all costs are mainly responsible for this. The main problem here is that weak and underdeveloped countries are not in a position to preserve their statehood under the dictation of neoliberal principles. They are compelled to adapt the entire spectre of public policies that have already been abandoned by the Western countries because they were unsuccessful. The modern state has found itself trapped within a transnational system that either collapses or at least weakens its basic functions.

Друштвени ефекти изопачености модерне економије

Author(s): Snežana Grk / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 2/2012

It is well known from history that pursuing financial goals, without paying consideration to the general welfare, has always led and will lead to disaster. Today, we are all witnesses to a class war being waged against the rest of the society. Hoarding money on one side means borrowing on the other. This is the kind of situation that we have in the European Union today. Savings measures in the EU have not given positive results; nonetheless, they have brought about new borrowings, bad debts, unemployment, poverty and mass misery. The contemporary financial experiment –in a social laboratory – annuls the results of globalization. Income disparities have been created. The socioeconomic dynamics of population aging is evident in some countries of the world, whereas in other countries we have youth invasion. Massive unemployment of the younger generation and a major proportion of the older generation in history so far, dependent on overindebted countries must explode into a large scale insurgent. Huge indebtedness of countries is undermining Europe, and the increasing gap between the richest layer of the population and all the rest threatens to turn the present great discontent of the poor into risks that could lead most of humanity into a dystopian future. Namely, into a future where there will be people suffering from hardships, poverty, misery and loss of faith of a brighter future. The dystopian scenario will not bypass Serbia if economic and social circumstances deteriorate even further. The future will be fraught with problems due to a depraved economy being led.

Дуалното образование – препоръки за България в контекста на моделите в Германия и САЩ

Author(s): Kalin Boyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 3/2018

Bulgaria’s membership in the European Union places on imperative level the problems of the efficiency of the Bulgarian education system, of the quality and competitiveness of our education. In view of the current crisis in Bulgaria with the provision of highly qualified staff for the economy and the problematic system of vocational education, it is imperative to pay attention to developed countries for useful lessons and practices. From a socially functional point of view, the dual system of education in Germany shows some advantages in resolving the crisis with the lack of staff in Bulgaria and in providing structured work and specific training. In addition, more attention should be paid to the progressive aspects of the US Vocational Education System to help Bulgaria develop a more informed and balanced strategy to improve its professional education.

ЕВОЛЮЦІЯ КРИТЕРІЇВ КЛАСОВОГО СИМВОЛІЗМУ В СУЧАСНИХ СОЦІОЛОГІЧНИХ ТЕОРІЯХ

Author(s): Olena Volodymirivna Volianska,Iryna Valeriivna Pidkurkova / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 4/2019

Problem setting. Rethinking inequality in the space of globalization processes creates a field of theoretical discussion and empirical researches regarding the criteria for the formation of class dispositions. As experience shows, globalization erases the usual differences between classes and classical instruments for measuring the middle class exclusively by economic and professional criteria (as it was convenient to do in the industrial wave) are no longer suitable, since in the information society the class differentiation of groups is no longer based on symbols of affected consumption, but it often has ideological symbols.Paper objective. This article is devoted to the evolution of sociological views on the problem of social inequality in order to define new criteria for class differentiation and their symbolic meanings.Paper main body. One of the key aspects of the post-social cultural and ideological transformations is the sense of the category of “riches”. The number of categories has become greater and more significant, and economic and political restructuring of the remaining 30 years. The mean value of the category of “reaches” associated with difficult experiences characterized by cultural and social transformations. Today, the middle and upper classes no longer differ in their behavior in the field of consumption.However, class symbols are dynamic, some disappear and some increase. There are three types of career symbols of class status that Е. Goffman recalls in earlier articles. First of all, they can weaken with the group that relies on them. When a former ruling class, which once held privileged economic positions, loses them, it has to declare its dominance, create cultural symbols.The second difficulty with the characters - they are approved by the group. At some point, artists who created content for the aristocracy, begin to despise the bourgeois, and then the bourgeois begin to take pride in friendship with the bohemian and adopt her demeanor. The sociologist Pierre Bourdieu studied the formation of an aesthetic taste for the works of culture. On the large empirical material, Bourdieu showed that aesthetics does not obey any objective set of laws, but conforms to status hierarchies, though not reduced to them.Conclusions of the research. Thus, the social structure of developed societies gradually goes into the shadows, disguising their symbols for indiscriminate consumption. What becomes status is no longer relevant to material things: these are symbols of a certain worldview, an image of an unsightly healthy lifestyle, far from the eyes of Google’s navigation and trendy serial currents. This opens up a new field of debate for social structure researchers regarding methods and tools of measurement.

Европа през 21 век : Регионалната сигурност и необходимите реформи в Европейския съюз

Сборник с доклади и научни съобщения от международна кръгла маса

Author(s): / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Macedonian / Publication Year: 2017

The annual academic forum of National and International Security Department this year is devoted to regional security and reforms in the European Union. Foreign academics and researchers from Poland, Macedonia, Serbia, Russia and other countries are taking part in this broad forum.Why have we chosen this topic?Today, in the first quarter of the 21st century, it appears that the world is on the verge of tolerance of risks and threats. The range of these threats is enormously broad - from the danger of wars between countries and coalitions, to violence among people within states. The world is in a period of devastated global equilibrium and a slowly developing new equilibrium. The temporal distance between these two states opened a place for the manifestation of chaos.In this increasingly difficult to predict world, the European Union has not been so far under such a criticism as the present since its creation. It comes from the ultimate right and the ultimate left, pass through the center and involve more and more ideologists and representatives, even the classical left and center-right political parties. But even a glimpse of their criticism does not show a way out of the crisis. It does not show how to preserve what is valuable in politics, economics and democracy that Europeans have undoubtedly enjoyed and continue to enjoy and how to transfer it into a future European Project.

ЕВРОПА, ДЕО II: ОСНОВНИ ПОЈМОВИ И ТЕОРИЈЕ О ЕВРОПЕИЗАЦИЈИ

Author(s): Marija Krstić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2012

I made an overview of different, but congruent theories, views and definitions from international politics, anthropology and sociology area with an aim to answer the question - what is Europeanisation. In short, Europeanisation is a process complementary to Euro-integrations. With respect to this issue, Europeanisation is an influence of standards, structures, institutions of - the EU on other countries. Taking into account effects of Europeanisation, in this paper I questioned its connection with globalisation. In this respect, I singled out three understandings of Europeanisation: Euro-globalisation, Euro-- glocalisation and anti-globalisation. On the other hand, I commented on a socio-constructivist approach, developed by Delanty and Rumford, who define Europeanisation as a cosmopolitan response to globalisation.

This text presents such conceptualization – that of a global citizenship. The analysis goes beyond formally specified limits, rights and obligations of citizenship. Its representatives are mobile people, and key features are the civilactivism and self-reflection.

Европски и национални идентитет у процесу европске интеграције: неофункционалистичко виђење

Author(s): Dejana M. Vukčević / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 2/2011

L’auteur de cet article envisage la question de l’identité nationale et européenne sous l’angle de la théorie néofonctionnaliste de l’intégration européenne. L’analyse sera centrée sur la façon dont le néofonctionnalisme a lié l’identité européenne et le processus d’intégration, et quelle importance a été accordée à l’identité nationale. L’auteur s’efforce de démontrer certaines limites de cette théorie, mais aussi les tentatives de sa revitalisation. L’objectif de cet article est de donner la réponse à la question si la théorie du néofonctionnalisme, malgré de nombreuses difficultés, peut constituer un cadre approprié pour expliquer le développement de l’identité européenne. L’article sera divisé en deux parties. Dans la première partie, on envisagera l’approche néofonctionnaliste du processus d’intégration européenne. Dans la deuxième partie, l’auteur traitera la question des identités européenne et nationale dans la perspective de cette théorie, afin d’évaluer la validité de cette théorie comme un cadre approprié pour expliquer le développement de l’identité européenne.
