  • Teorijska razmatranja o pojmu međunarodne zajednice0

    Dileme o postojanju međunarodne zajednice ili međunarodnog društva su sve prisutnije u intelektualnim raspravama, jer različiti teorijski pravci u okviru zajednice različito posmatraju i definiraju subjekte i činioce te zajednice. Tako u okvirima realizma i neorealizma strukturu međunarodne zajednice čine države, dok po liberalizmu, neoliberalizmu, institucionalizmu i konstruktivizmu strukturu međunarodne zajednice čine svi legitimni subjekti

    Tax avoidance policy: can we balance morality and economy?0

    Talking to my daughter about the economy (Book review)0

    I expected a lot from Varoufakis’s economics for teenagers.

    Tackle terrorism, not conservatism0

    Many have rushed to blame religious conservatism for a surge in terror attacks, citing Islamist extremism as the root of increased violence. Conflating the issues of terrorism and religious conservatism is not only simplistic, it is also dangerous and short-sighted. It alienates those very same communities who are our best allies in curbing the spreading of home-grown terror. An effective answer to domestic terrorism should focus on socioeconomic issues, not on religious conservatism.

    Switzerland/EU automatic exchange of information: the beginning of an end for the Swiss banking industry?1

    Now that the Swiss are on board with the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI), hiding behind the banking secrecy clause is no longer an option. Switzerland needs to let off this golden parachute and consider new strategic choices to keep its competitive position.
