Filip Ejdus Books

Exploring the concept of ontological security, this book presents a fresh perspective on crises in world politics by framing them as radical disjunctions that disrupt collective agents' continuity. It delves into how these crises prompt critical reflection on four essential questions, emphasizing their impact on discursive consciousness and the challenges they pose to societal stability and identity. Through this lens, the work offers valuable insights into the dynamics of political crises and their broader implications.

Serbia’s democracy celebrated its tenth anniversary in October 2010. Filip Ejdus takes this jubilee as an opportunity to consider the level of democratization achieved. For this purpose he studies the extent to which the process of democratic reform has influenced security sector governance as this is the key to the consolidation of democracy. He specifies the factors that have hampered democratic development, appreciates the achievements and names the remaining challenges. He concludes that there is still a lot to be done. Although the formal mechanisms of democratic security sector governance are largely in place, consolidation is still inadequate in practice.
