AB  - We investigate post-commu- nist redistributive policies in Serbia, focus- ing particularly on the period after 2000. Our main argument is that market funda- mentalism, which posits that the market is the most efficient solution for the post- communist transition, has failed to deliver on its promises. The expectation was that, after a temporary transitional sacrifice, the worse-off would benefit equally with the better-off by reaping the rewards of market economic reforms. The anticipated faster growth was supposed to generate more quality jobs as the most effective means to alleviate poverty. Unfortunately, growth has been sluggish, while inequalities in Ser- bia have experienced rapid and persistent growth since 2000. We look into redistribu- tive reform measures to understand the reasons behind this outcome. Our approach
combines applied political philosophy with economic policy analysis – a unique in- tersection of two social science disciplines. Firstly, our research explores the implicit and explicit normative foundations of post- communist economic reforms. Secondly, we identify and analyse a pivotal juncture of policy reform in the early 2000s. During this period, the newly-adopted neoliberal taxation and social policies were combined with class- and ethnic-based discriminato- ry approaches inherited from the pre-1990s socialist era and the post-socialist 1990s, respectively. This combination resulted in distinct, notably pro-rich redistributive patterns in Serbia.

Does the state of emergency create an opportunity for democratic erosion? Lessons from post-communist Central and Southeast Europe

AB  - The paper’s key puzzle is the variation in lockdown‑related democratic de‑cline in the region of Central and Southeast Europe given the incumbents’ ideologicaland regime (dis)similarity. Why did similar regimes not respond to the pandemic in thesame manner by using the opportunity to grab more executive power and diminish theauthority of other institutions? While some argue that a state of emergency providesan ideal opportunity for democratic decline due to reduced costs, others believe thatautocratic regimes with a ‘pre‑existing condition for autocracy’ are more vulnerable. Tocontribute to this discussion, I examine three examples from post‑communist Central andSoutheast Europe (Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia) during the pandemic‑related state ofemergency and lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. I consider several relevant factors, the mostimportant of which is the prospect of winning the next election. To erode democracy,autocratic incumbents must feel insecure about the outcome of the next election touse the opportunity created by the state of emergency. If they are uncertain of victory,they may prefer to expand their executive powers during the state of emergency, thusundermining democracy.

Blatant, not Latent: Patronage in Top-Level Appointments in Serbia

AB  - This paper examines the model of party patronage in Serbia and its impact on the professionalisation of public administration. Drawing on case studies of the appointment and subsequent performance of heads of three prominent public organisations – the National Bank of Serbia, the Anti-Corruption Agency, and the Electro Industry of Serbia – we demonstrate that, despite efforts to implement the Weberian principle of “neutral competence”, which involves the prevalence of meritocracy over partisan affiliation, patronage in Serbia has not only persisted but has become more overt and invasive. The given model of patronage involves the pursuit of multiple functions of partisan patronage – resource extraction, partisan campaigning (including through clientelism), and policy control. We suggest that this model results in the appointment of unqualified individuals to top positions, leading to poor governance and low efficiency of public institutions. The findings point to a “reform reversal” scenario, which departs from the trajectory of mild progress or stagnation usually observed in other cases across post-communist Europe that follow the adoption of Weberian standards. As a conceptual contribution, the paper develops a typology, centered around the question of perniciousness of various patronage models, that captures patronage models and trajectories of anti-patronage developments in a more nuanced manner than the existing frameworks that compare patronage patterns.

The Three Versions of the Ultimatum Game: An Example from the History of Creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes 1914-1918

AB  - We examine the 1914-1918 creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes as a form of the ultimatum game. The negotiations among the Serbian
Cabinet and the Yugoslav Committee representatives of the Habsburg Souths Slavs
from 1914-1918 exemplify three versions of this game. The first version is a typical
(rational choice) type of the ultimatum game in which the Receiver is satisfied with
any offer by the Proposer. The second version is an instance of behavioral game
theory. When the Proposer gives an unfair offer, it provokes an emotional reaction
in the Receiver who will reject it at the cost of harming themselves. We observe
this behavior in the emotional behavior of Frano Supilo, a Croat and one of the
leaders of the Yugoslav Committee. The third version of the behavioral ultimatum
game can be observed in the behavior of Serbian Prime Minister Nikola Pašić who
opposed any concessions to the Yugoslav Committee, thus giving an ultimatum
to the Croat side to accept the Serbian offer or remain with nothing, which was
harmful to the Serbian side, too. This example is important because it produces
two conclusions. First, historical games are often a mixture of several versions. Second, Proposers, too, can have an emotional reaction and give an offer that can hurt
themselves. This aspect of the ultimatum game is less mentioned because it is difficult to simulate in experiments.

How Political Parties in Hybrid Regimes Help the Incumbent Maintain a Democratic Facade

AB  - Why would a large incumbent party, that can by itself muster more than 45 per cent of electoral support, add seven insignificant political parties to its electoral list, thus providing them with a free ticket into the Assembly, state-sponsored financing for the next four years, and an independent deputy club in the Assembly? More importantly, why would the incumbent party, as a consequence of this deliberate decision, end up without parliamentary majority? In this article, I discuss less frequently mentioned aspects of institutional design that can help us understand why the incumbent party makes such decisions and why a party system in a hybrid regime has a large number of parties. I offer qualitative evidence from the postcommunist Serbia (1990-2018). The first two aspects refer to electoral design (but not the electoral formula or district magnitude): a larger number of parties under the incumbent party's control provides stronger political influence in the Republican Electoral Commission and at polling stations on election day. In hybrid regimes, the incumbent party is interested in this influence because it can use it to arrange electoral fraud. The third aspect relates to parliamentary design: more parties in the Serbian Assembly under the incumbent party's control secure more minutes on the floor for the incumbent party during parliamentary debate.

AB  - This paper aims to accomplish two goals. First, to present recent empirical evidence supporting the claim that Serbia is on the path towards embracing a more radical version of electoral authoritarianism. This is accomplished by examining most recent illiberal politics aimed at controlling electoral processes and the media sphere, and extracting public funds for partisan purposes. I claim that the incomplete design of democratic institutions in Serbia set up between 2001 and 2012 is primarily responsible for the democratic decline. The second goal is more general and aims to emphasize the importance of extracting public funds for hybrid regimes. Extractive institutions matter because they directly impact other critical segments of electoral authoritarianism (notably, elections and media freedom), but also because they explain the type of leadership they promote in politics. If public resources remain without proper institutional oversight and are simply 'up for grabs,' this will attract leaders more willing to dismantle democratic institutions and violate democratic procedures. Serbia serves as a good and current example of this linkage.

AB  - Under what circumstances do coalition partners tend to overspend? The so-far dominant explanation relies on the common pool resource theory-the more cabinet members there are, the higher the spending. While theoretically sound, this explanation seems to be more relevant for some cases and less for others. What could lie behind this discrepancy? While the literature to date has focused on institutional factors, we propose a mechanism that relates to voting behaviour. Relying on the concept of positional externalities, we argue that each coalition member wishes to spend relatively more resources than the other coalition member(s) to attract impressionable voters. Positional externalities, we claim, exhibit a direct positive effect on total spending and, perhaps more importantly, interact with the common pool resource factor, decreasing its relevance when they are weak.

AB  - Do political factors have any effect on fiscal policy and public spending in the post-communist Europe? We answer this question by using annual data for 15 Central and Eastern European democracies from 1992-2017. We look into several political variables: number of parties in the cabinet, partisan cycle (ideology), electoral cycle, and coalition type. We deploy fixed-effect estimates, showing that the peculiarities of a country explain a large part of the variance, thus validating the path dependency and incrementalism theses in public policy analysis. We find positive impact of the pre-electoral and electoral year on public spending, but no statistically significant support for other poitical determinats.

AB  - I apply game theory to economic problems in large groups (more than two players). I focus on the coordination problem of collective action within assurance game. Coordinative failure in such games is a consequence of the expectation concerning what the other players will do. The prevailing pessimism about the actions of others creates "bad equilibrium," while the prevailing optimism about the actions of others creates "good equilibrium." I look into three examples: students' self-grading, fiscal stimulus, and the absence of investments in undeveloped economies. The main insight is that the coordination failure problem may be solved by state intervention - by way of fiscal stimulus or coordination agent who creates a focal point among consumers and producers.

When do neoliberal economic reforms cause democratic decline? Evidence from the post-communist Southeast Europe

AB  - Do neoliberal reforms (notably, austerity policy) facilitate democratic decline and the gradual deconstruction of democratic institutions? I examine the democratic development of the Western Balkan countries since 2008 by focusing on the two most recent cases of democratic rollback in Macedonia and Serbia. Neoliberal reforms may create a preference to shut down democratic institutions, because such reforms are socially costly and politically risky. However, democratic backsliding is not possible without opportunity. I illustrate this with reference to the examples of Hungary and Croatia. Croatia implemented some neoliberal policies after 2015, but did not see a drop in its democracy score. By contrast, Hungary moved towards centrally planned capitalism, nationalisation and state interventionism (all opposed to the neoliberal concept of reform), and yet saw a significant democratic decline after 2010. The opportunity to dismantle democratic institutions was a consequence of an electoral gap (a difference in vote share between former and new incumbents), which enabled the rise of authoritarian leaders in Macedonia, Hungary and Serbia.

Prospect theory and presidential elections: Two cases from Yugoslavia and Serbia

AB  - Why do presidents in semi-presidential regimes sometimes call early elections? Is the behavior of incumbent presidents different from the behavior of presidential contenders when the former do not need to run for office but face the loss of parliamentary majority in a semi-presidential system? Prospect theory claims that agents make risky choices when facing a loss. Consequently, if incumbent presidents face a loss of majority in the parliament, they will call for early election to try to shore up or salvage the majority. To provide empirical evidence supporting this claim, prospect theory has been applied to the two presidential elections in Yugoslavia and Serbia in which two incumbent presidents, Slobodan Milosevic (2000) and Boris Tadic (2012), had lost early presidential elections. The expected contribution of the paper is to deepen our understanding of how semi presidential regimes resolve the problem of temporal rigidity and offer novel empirical data in support of the application of prospect theory in political science.

AB  - The institutional design of crisis management in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia determined those countries' responses to the 2014 floods. In all three cases a weak institutional framework and deficient communication, coordination and cooperation severely limited the efficiency of crisis response. Even though the floods affected the broader region, there was no coordinated response between the countries. This was aggravated by the scale of the floods, the rareness of such an event - best described as a black swan event - and the lack of adequate measures to prepare for such an occurrence. The resulting patchwork of institutional responses had its own deficiencies and faults. We identify three common issues: a prevalent lack of effective communication between response actors and institutions through formal channels, a lack of substantial investment in water management and civil protection systems and the absence of responsibility after flooding. There were also differences between cases, especially regarding institutional learning and adaptation. Yet, the floods produced some insights at the strategic level of political officeholders, confirming bad governance in Southeast Europe.

Game theory in Hobbes's Leviathan

AB  - For a long time, political theorists who deployed game theory have believed that Hobbes's state of nature can be expressed as a Prisoner's dilemma in which war of all against all is a Pareto-inferior outcome of social cooperation. Some recent game theory studies have looked at the state of nature from a perspective of chicken game and assurance game. Assurance game seems to be more precise in explaining how individuals in Hobbes's state of nature overcome the conflict and establish cooperation. In assurance game, cooperation is established by credible signaling that assures other players that everyone is prepared to cooperate. If all players do the same, and they all know it, individuals can achieve a Pareto-superior outcome.

AB  - The paper explains why the quality of social research in Serbia is low. We show that low international competitiveness of the Serbian social science research can be found in the system of perverse incentives that rewards social scientists to put minimal effort to advance on academic ladder and do the research. This can be seen in small number of works and papers published in internationally recognized and prestigious academic journals and rare participation at international conferences and gatherings. Low competitiveness is a consequence of descriptivity in research; retelling other author's theories, avoidance of quantitative research; rare application of theoretical paradigms; misunder­standing of theories, recycling of one's own but also other's works, usage of old syllabi in teaching, and a perverse system of teacher selection that is de­signed to select average students for TAs and university professors. We offer several recommendation to improve the situation.
AB  - U tekstu objašnjavamo zbog čega je kvalitet naučno-istraživačkog rada u društvenim naukama u Srbiji, i pored jednog broja izuzetnih pojedinaca, u proseku na relativno niskom nivou, kao i šta bi trebalo preduzeti da bi se to promenilo. Smatramo da se glavni razlog za nisku međunarodnu konkurentnost domaćih istraživanja i istraživača u društvenim naukama nalazi u nedovoljno podsticajnom sistemu nagrađivanja i promovisanja naučnih radnika i naučnog rada. Konkurentnost je niska, jer sistem ne podstiče domaće istraživače da proizvode kvalitetna istraživanja, objavljuju u kvalitetnim stranim časopisima i prestižnim međunarodnim monografijama, i učestvuju na vrhunskim međunarodnim konferencijama. Niska konkurentnost je ključna, jer predstavlja uzrok niza drugih problema u društvenim naukama u koje spadaju: deskriptivnost u istraživanju; izbegavanje kvantitativnih istraživanja i praktične primene teorijskih paradigmi; nedovoljno razumevanje teorije; recikliranje sopstvenih, ali i tuđih radova; zastarelost u nastavnim planovima i programima kako na redovnim, tako i na poslediplomskim studijama itd. Posle analize postojećeg stanja, tekst završavamo preporukama o tome kako da se situacija poboljša.

Serbia during and after Milosevic

AB  - Classification of Milošević's regime as authoritarian, and Đinđić's government as democratic represents a prevailing oversimplification that misses out the nature and development of democracy in Serbia. The author argues that Milošević's regime was a unconsolidated form of democracy because the opposition and elections mattered a great deal in it. Still, it never became a consolidated democracy but rather evolved as a combination of authoritarian and democratic elements. In the second part of the article, the author discusses the first post-Milošević government headed by Đinđić, concluding that it had also failed in strengthening of institutions, but that this failure, in difference, was due to a misunderstanding of the meaning of economic reforms. This, however, still does not justify the use of authoritarian means. .
AB  - Klasifikacija Miloševićevog režima kao autoritarnog i Đinđićeve vlade kao demokratske predstavlja uobičajeno pojednostavljivanje kojem izmiče prava priroda i razvoj demokratije u Srbiji. Autor dokazuje da je Miloševićev režim bio nekonsolidovani oblik demokratije jer su i opozicija i izbori bili od velikog značaja. Ipak, Srbija nije postala konsolidovana demokratija, već se pre razvijala kroz preplitanje autoritarnih i demokratskih elemenata. U drugom delu članka autor raspravlja o prvoj vladi nakon Miloševića koju je vodio Đinđić, zaključujući da je i ova vlada takođe podbacila u ojačavanju institucija, ali da je ovaj neuspeh, u ovom slučaju, bio uslovljen pogrešnim shvatanjem značenja ekonomskih reformi. Ovo, međutim, još uvek ne opravdava upotrebu autoritarnih sredstava. .

AB  - In this article author intends to offer the way how to measure the degree of inner democracy in Serbian political parties. This could be realized with reference to six indicators as follows: toleration of inner fractions, autonomy of local party representatives, legislation and way of election of party leaders, nomination of candidates for public offices, relation between the party and its parliamentary group and party’s horizontal structure. Every indicator is ranged with marks from 1 to 3. Aim of the work is to construct the index suitable for comparation of inner democracy of political parties in the single party system as well as within various party systems.

Nivo unutrašnje demokratije meri se u šest oblasti: tolerisanje unutrašnjih frakcija, autonomija lokalnih ogranaka partija, ovlašćenja i način izbora lidera stranaka, nominacija kandidata za javne položaje, odnos između partije i njene parlamentarne grupe i horizontalna struktura stranaka. Svaka oblast rangira se ocenama od 1 do 3. Cilj teksta je da se konstruiše indeks kojim bi unutrašnja demokratičnost stranaka mogla da se upoređuje među strankama unutar jednog stranačkog sistema, kao i unutar različitih stranačkih sistema.

Social costs of transition

AB  - The risk of political and economic transformation in Central and East Europe after 1990 was based on the presumption that the reforms will collapse when the citizens realize that the cost they have to pay for them is too high. The classical claim was that democracy will be destroyed by democratic means-namely, that the losers in the transition will vote the way back to the authoritarian regime. The article offers an explanation as to the regress to the authoritarian regime will not be a consequence of the economic reforms. The article is divided in six section. Section 1 considers the general context of the start of the economic transformation in the light of the debate about the choice between the expert government and the significance of democratic procedures for economic reforms. Section 2 defines the context of Serbia within which economic transformation started out after 2000. Sections 4-5 consider economic policy of the two post-Milosevic government. The major finding is that it was the economic policy that was highly socially sensible that prevented social uprising and undermining democracy by democratic means. Section 6 concludes by applying the concept of equilibrium of partial reforms.
AB  - Najčešće pominjani rizik ekonomske i političke transformacije u Centralnoj i Istočnoj Evropi posle 1990. godine bio je taj da će reforme propasti kada građani uvide da je cena koja treba da se plati za ekonomske reforme previsoka. Tvrdilo se da će tzv. gubitnici u tranziciji uništiti demokratiju demokratskim sredstvima, odn. da će na izborima glasati za političke snage koje će ponovo uspostaviti autoritarni režim. Ovaj tekst pokušava da objasni zbog čega povratak u autoritarni režim u Srbiji neće biti posledica sprovođenja ekonomskih reformi. Tekst je podeljen u šest odeljaka. U odeljku 1 razmatra se opšti kontekst početka ekonomske transformacije u svetlu debate o izboru između vlade eksperata i demokratskih procedura. Odeljak 2 definiše socialnoekonomski kontekst Srbije u kome se odvija ekonomska transformacija. Odeljci 4-5 analiziraju ekonomsku politiku prve dve post-miloševićevske vlade. Nalaz ovih odeljaka je da je ekonomska politika počivala na principima sa ciljem da ublaže socijalne troškove ekonomske transformacije za gubitnike u tranziciji, što je sprečilo socijalni bunt i obaranje demokratije demokratskim sredstvima. Odeljak 6 zaključuje analizu primenom koncepta o ekvilibrijumu parcijalnih reformi.
