Item type:Publication, The Study of Things Military in the Republic of Macedonia (1991–2015): Flying in Place(Informa UK Limited, 2017); In this study ‘things military’ refers to political, social, and cultural concerns related to (and derived from) the military and national security policy. The research scope is limited to the disciplines that are believed to have— albeit weak—basis in the country’s academic traditions. We argue that social study of things military is marked by parochialism and ‘intellectual autism’. Macedonia’s main incongruity — being a NATO candidate country and an object of international state-building — inevitably reflects on its academic community’s inability to sustain any critical reflection on things military both internally and internationally. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The rise of lone wolf terrorism-new challenge to media(Institute od knowledge management, Skopje, 2019); ; Today, one of the most challenging and unpredictable forms of terrorism are violent terror acts committed by single individuals, often referred to as lone wolf terrorists or lone actor terrorists. One of the major problems with detecting possible lone wolf terrorists is that there is no consistent or typical profile.Lone wolf terrorists pose a large threat to modern society. The purpose of this paper will be focused on one of the most unpredictable forms of terrorism acts-those committed by a single individual, a so-called ”lone wolf terrorist”. The phenomenon of so-called lone wolf terrorism has increased with more and more attacks perpetrated by single actors.The shifting nature of terrorism has prompted a debate over how to accurately describe individuals that act independently of a terrorist organization’s chain of command.Lone-wolf terrorists’ acts are not only meant to inflict pain and death but also to spread terror and fear. They commit these crimes to catch the attention of the public and indeed of the state. Their expectations are that terrorizing nations will create pressure from the public and force states to amend their policies and subsequently meet their demands.The concept of the lone wolf terrorist is increasingly common in recent decades, often attracting media attention as a “new” and “dangerous” threat. Live television news events have been dominated by incidences involving lone-wolf terrorist attacks recently. This has presented new challenges to the broadcast news media.It is a growing phenomenon, but research on this topic has been accompanied by major shortcomings, because this type of violence may be one of the most mysterious and unforeseeable forms of terrorism. Therefore, the lone wolf concept needs to be reevaluated and adapted to changed circumstances.The current ability to identify and stop these kind of terrorists before they commit a terror act is limited since they are very hard to detect using traditional methods. However, these individuals often make use of Internet to spread their beliefs and opinions, and to obtain information and knowledge to plan an attack.Lone wolf terrorism has been considered as a serious threat to public security in recent years and an extremely difficult challenge for security-they are relatively unpredictable, undetectable and effectively unstoppable.The unique features of lone-actor terrorism, including the challenges of interdiction and potential of copycat attacks, mean that the media is likely to play a particularly important role in shaping the reactions of the public, affected communities and copycat attackers.Furthermore, socioeconomic approaches need to be adopted to tackle the phenomenon of terrorism from the roots because policing and counter-terrorism operations alone have proven to be insufficient.It means displaying interest, respect and appreciation for others’ linguistic, cultural and religious traditions.Currently, there are more questions than answers on the content and validity of the lone wolf concept, but we should be alert and aware that the external conditions have changed, and old responses may not be appropriate anymore to present-day lone actor terrorism. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Military Responses to the Global Migrant Crisis(Faculty of Philosophy, Skopje, 2018); The paper aims at a study of the recent trend of increased militarization of border security in the face of mass migratory influx. The theoretical framework of analysis draws on the findings of the theory of civil-military relations, particularly with regard to the concept of ‘core military missions’. The basic premise is that the failure of the liberal interventionism and export of democracy (often by military means or by stirring internal opposition movements towards regime change) has led to catastrophic consequences, which in return hit as a boomerang not only the world interventionist powers but also many other (transitory) states. Among other concerns, the dilemma of the militarization of border control has become an issue of special significance both for international and national security. The renewed military mission of safeguarding the borders from migrant flaws calls for urgent theoretical deliberations and practical solutions.
