Item type:Publication, US Geopolitical Grip on the Western Balkans: Spheres and Methods of Countering China’s Influence(ВОПРОСЫ ПОЛИТОЛОГИИ, 2024-07)The article examines the geopolitical influence of the United States and other Western powers on the countries of the Western Balkans (WB), as well as their strategies for countering China’s growing presence in the region. The central premise is that the Western Balkans have shifted from being a «near neighborhood» to a battleground of geopolitics and geo-economics. Until recently, the WB was taken for granted and treated as a loyal colony. However, significant changes have occurred both globally and internally. The decline of Western powers, driven by internal crises and overextended military hegemony, is increasingly evident. This decline is starkly contrasted by the remarkable economic, political, cultural, social, and technological growth of China and other non-Western countries, which have formed various mutual cooperation alliances. News of these developments has reached the EU’s periphery, prompting parts of Balkan societies, weary of interminable waits in the EU’s waiting halls, to seek alternatives. The process of gaining free access to objective information about non-Western advancements, particularly those in China, is ongoing but slow. In response, the Western hegemon resorts to propaganda and gaslighting, attempting to vilify Beijing, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and the BRICS nations. The tentative conclusion is that populations in the Western Balkans are growing impatient and less willing to wait for the West’s promised «heaven on earth.» While the elites remain compliant and subservient, segments of society are exploring new paths to shape their own destiny in alignment with the Global Majority. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Historical Science in Chains: The Impact of the Bilateral Agreement Between Skopje and Sofi a on Freedom of Academic Work(ZVEZA ZGODOVINSKIH DRUŠTEV SLOVENIJE Ljubljana, 2023-12)The article focuses on the impact of the bilateral Treaty between Skopje and Sofia (2017) on the academic freedom of history research in N. Macedonia. It starts with the elaboration of the wider problem of the marriage of convenience between politics and academia, followed by questioning if historical research is possible under the grip of geopolitics. The central part argues that the current political and legal framework curtail the freedom of research for the sake of the ‘greater good’. To sum up, the Macedonian historiography is subject to unconcealed external control that challenges its existence as a genuine academic discipline. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The Future of NATO After the Ukraine War: The Emperor’s New Clothes(Institute of International Politics and Economics, Belgrade Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 2023-10)The article aims to envision the prospects of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Examining the historical and practical aspects ofthe issue,the starting premise is that NATO has become an obsolete and dangerous alliance. Ever since the end of the Cold War, marked by the collapse of socialism and the disbanding of the Warsaw Pact, the Alliance has been in a perpetual search for new enemies, i.e., a raison d’être, atthe expense of global peace and security. During this process, NATO has tried to conceal its genuine interests in sustaining American hegemony and preserving its bureaucratic existence. The war in Ukraine is a direct consequence of NATO’s “cosmopolitan militarism” on a global scale. The concept of a “global NATO” or “globalised NATO” lies at the core of this study. The article presents tentative conclusions, outlining possible scenarios for NATO’s position in the aftermath of the Ukraine War. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Semantics and Ideology of Nuclear Order(Faculty of Philosophy, Skopje, 2022-12)The article deals with the substance and rhetoric of the notion of “nuclear order” in a deconstructivity manner. Building on the definition of nuclear order as a set of institutions, norms, and practices governing the development and use of nuclear technology, the analysis focuses more on what is behind this “pragmatic compromise” in the world of international (and nuclear) anarchy. The key premise is that the discourse and politics of nuclear order are mechanisms of normalization of nuclear danger as something that can be managed and well-ordered. This kind of thinking and dealing with the nuclear threat, which is becoming an imminent one by the day, is embedded in the ideology of the imperial status quo. At a time when humanity faces existential threat(s), inter alia because of a possible nuclear clash, the academic rhetoric and action should shift the paradigm away from the “Don’t Look Up” film parody. The current arrangements of nuclear constraints, deterrence, non-proliferation etc. should be pictured for what they really are: a politics of acceptance to life on a brink of total disaster based on the false belief that the national security state and the military alliances are able to protect Us vs Them.
