Transformation of social policy in Serbia: A review of the monograph by Danilo Vuković Transformation of neoliberalism: Social policy in Serbia (sociological and legal analysis), Mediterran Publishing, Novi Sad, 2017

Abstract

In this review of the monograph 'Transformation of Neoliberalism: Social Policy in Serbia (Sociological and Legal Analysis)', the emphasis is on the influence of neoliberal mechanisms and strategies on reforms in three areas of social policy: education, social protection and employment. Thereby, the restructuring of social rights in Serbia (with respect to historical heritage) is considered, in the context of the processes of globalization, the rise of neoliberalism, and the role of domestic elites and middle layers.

U ovom osvrtu na monografiju 'Preoblikovanje neoliberalizma: socijalna politika u Srbiji (sociološko-pravna analiza)' naglasak je na uticaju neoliberalnih mehanizama i strategija na reforme u tri oblasti socijalne politike: obrazovanju, socijalnoj zaštiti i zapošljavanju. Pri tome, razmatra se preoblikovanje socijalnih prava u Srbiji (uz uvažavanje istorijskog nasleđa), u kontekstu globalizacijskih procesa i uspona neoliberalizma, te uloge domaćih elita i srednjih slojeva.
