Humanitarna intervencija i državni suverenitet0
- Analysis
- 15/03/2013
O pojmu suvereniteta do danas su se razvila i formulisala mnoga mišljenja i teorije, no, prvi tragovi upotrebe ovog pojma sežu do rimskog carstva, i u daleku 1576. godinu kada je Žan Boden u svom fundamentalom djelu Šest knjiga o republici, iskovao i razvio pojam suvereniteta kao glavnu temu političkog i pravnog mišljenja.

- Financial Policy and International Markets, Op-ed
- 27/02/2019
Facebook and Apple allow their users to exchange money with one another. Amazon grants loans to its sellers and is about to offer checking accounts to its younger users. Google Pay is the perfect online substitute for our analogical wallet. How long will it take before the GAFA (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple) enter the banking club officially? Should commercial banks feel threatened by the big tech companies?
