  • 3. Security-Intelligence Services in the Republic of Serbia Bogoljub Milosavljević and Predrag Petrović
    3. Security-Intelligence Services in the Republic of Serbia Bogoljub Milosavljević and Predrag Petrović The Security-intelligence services (hence the intelligence services) are among the most important executive actors in any national security systems. In this chapter the term intelligence services denotes only specialised civilian and mili- tary organisations with security-intelligence functions, established within the state apparatus and operating under government control. Intelligence serv- ices should, first of all, provide state bodies with timely, relevant and precise 208 information. They should protect the constitutional order and national interests against penetration by foreign intelligence services and activities of organised criminal and terrorist groups. They are authorised to collect information from public sources, and can use secret methods, techniques and means.285 There are three organisations in Serbia with these responsibilities; the Secu- rity-Information Agency (SIA), the Military Security Agency (MSA) and the Mili- tary Intelligence Agency (MoI). The SIA is directly subordinated to the govern- ment and has the status of a special republic organisation, while both the MSA and MoI are organisational units (administrative bodies) within the Ministry of Defence (MoD) subordinated to the defence minister, and thus also to the gov- ernment. The functions of the intelligence services are specified by positive legal regulations286 and include the usual intelligence activities: 1. The collection and analysis of data relevant for national security, defence and protection of eco- 285 Reconciling the secrecy needs of intelligence services with the fundamental tenets of democ- racy is an important question. In order words, how can this secrecy be reconciled with transpar- ency of state institutions.

  • Ubij Bliznjeg Svog I
    Marko Lopušina UBIJ BLIŽNJEG SVOG I-III (ULOMCI) Jugoslovenska tajna policija 1945/1997. UBIJ BLIŽNJEG SVOG I. REC AUTORA Tajnost je glavni i osnovni princip postojanja i rada svih obavestajnih sluzbi sveta, pa i srpske i jugoslovenske tajne policije. U toj tajni o sebi i drugima, sadrzana su snaga, moc i dugovecnost drzavne politicke policije, koja postoji na ovim nasim prostorima poslednjih pedeset godina. Njen zadatak je od 1945. do pocetka devedesetih, a i kasnije, uvek bio da brani, stiti i cuva drzavu, vlast, partiju i njen politicki vrh od tzv. unutrasnjeg i spoljnjeg neprijatelja. Zato su Oznu, Udbu, SDB, politicki celnici od miloste zvali „pesnica komunizma“ ili ponekad i "stit revolucije". cinjenica je da su jugoslovensku tajnu sluzbu stvarali i vodili Hrvati i Slovenci, a da su njeni najrevnosniji policajci bili Srbi, samo zato, sto su se trudili da dokazu svoju odanost Titu i Partiji. Kao verni cuvari Broza i druge Jugoslavije, Srbi "oznasi", "udbasi", "debejci", proganjali su, mnogo puta i bez suda, ne samo po principu velikog broja i velike nacije vec i svesno, upravo vlastiti narod. Srbi su u drugoj Jugoslaviji bili sami sebi i gonici i progonjeni, tacnije i dzelati i zrtve tajne policije. Malo je reci u srpskom jeziku koje tako sumorno zvuce, kao sto je to rec Udba. U njoj je sadrzan sav ljudski gnev i tihi otpor prema jednom delu zivota u komunistickoj Jugoslaviji, koji su mnogi njeni zitelji potisnuli, makar prividno, iz secanja. Udbom i danas ljudi zovu sve jugoslovenske sluzbe drzavne bezbednosti, jer zele da na taj nacin pokazu koliko su svesni zla koje je politicka policija nanela vlastitom narodu.

For four decades the Purdue University Press series in Central European Studies has enriched our knowledge of the region by producing scholarly monographs, advanced surveys, and select collections of the highest quality. Since its founding, the series has been the only English-language series devoted primarily to the lands and peoples of the Habsburg Empire, its successor states, and those areas lying along its immediate periphery. Among its broad range of international scholars are several authors whose engagement in public policy reflects the pressing challenges that confront the successor states.

  • Works’ (Just Not in Moderation)
    Repression ‘Works’ (just not in moderation) Yuri M. Zhukov University of Michigan Abstract Why does government violence deter political challengers in one con- text, but inflame them in the next? This paper argues that repression increases opposition activity at low and moderate levels, but decreases it in the extreme. There is a threshold level of violence, where the op- position becomes unable to recruit new members, and the rebellion unravels – even if the government kills more innocents. We show this result logically, with a mathematical model of coercion, and empir- ically, with micro-level data from Chechnya and a meta-analysis of sub-national conflict dynamics in 156 countries. The data suggest that a threshold exists, but the level of violence needed to reach it varies. Many governments, thankfully, are unable or unwilling to go that far. We explore conditions under which this threshold may be higher or lower, and highlight a fundamental trade-off between reducing gov- ernment violence and preserving civil liberties. Keywords: repression, political violence, mass killing, conflict, meta-analysis, threshold effect Word count: 11,869 DRAFT This version: November, 2018 1 Repression is violence that governments use to stay in power. When confronting behavioral challenges to their authority, governments often respond by threatening, detaining and killing suspected dissidents and rebels. The coercive purpose of these actions is to compel challengers to stop their fight, and to deter others from joining it. The intensity of repres- sion can vary greatly. To reestablish control in Chechnya after 1999, for example, the Russian government used a range of methods, from targeted killings to shelling and indiscriminate sweeps.

  • Reformation History and Political Mythology in the German Democratic Republic, 1949–89
    Robert Walinski-Kiehl Reformation History and Political Mythology in the German Democratic Republic, 1949–89 It is perhaps ironic that a Marxist state such as the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), which rejected all notions of divinity and the supernatural, should have paid so much atten- tion to the history of the sixteenth-century Reformation. Many of the key events of the Lutheran Reformation had occurred of course in the Saxon-Thuringian territories which were now enclosed within its borders, but this alone does not account for the intense interest that was displayed by the GDR in sixteenth- century history. Geographical proximity was of less importance than the fact that the nineteenth-century pioneer of Marxism, Frederick Engels, had shown a keen interest in events during the Reformation era. His 1850 study, The Peasant War in Germany, represented the first attempt to write history from a historical materialist perspective.1 In the GDR’s search to construct a viable, Marxist-based historical discipline that was distinct from, and in opposition to, its Western ‘bourgeois’ variant, Engels’ work acquired a special status. However, in the GDR, the Reformation era was more than just a topic of historiographical interest; it can be seen to have constituted an important founda- tion myth for this communist state. Recently, scholars have begun to focus more closely on the cultural significance of politi- cal myths for modern states. While formerly political myths were perceived rather prosaically as fictions, propaganda or simply lies, in the last few years they have been viewed in a more sophis- ticated light.

St3l1n commit American power to save South Korea from Communist aggression in late June 1950 stands as perhaps America's finest moment of the Cold War. By making a difficult commitment, by sacrificing 50,000 American lives in the end, Truman upheld Western values and interests where they were directly threatened. It is easy to overlook the unpopularity and unpleasantness of a war which, though necessary, nevertheless remains unknown to most Americans today. Our sacrifices in Korea beginning in the disastrous summer of 1950 merit recognition and honor in their own right, yet they deserve our attention for another reason almost completely neglected in accounts of the period. By dispatching the 24th Infantry and 1st Cavalry Divisions from comfort­ able occupation duty in Japan to death and ratus opened the "Greek line," supplying destruction in Korea in mid-summer 1950, the Communist insurgents in neighboring Greece United States actually did nothing less than save v.r:ith weapons and supplies, an effort which the world from a global conflagration. quickly outpaced Soviet support to the guerrillas; 10,000 Yugoslav "volunteers" fought alongside (U) The issue was found not in Asia but on the their Greek allies too.
