| Title | CONSTITUTIONAL PATRIOTISM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO NATIONALIST CONSTRUCTION OF POLITY |
| Summary | In my thesis I deal with ‘constitutional patriotism’, the concept introduced by Jurgen Habermas. Primarily, I am interested in applying that concept on ex-Yugoslav Republics. These states replaced the communism with ‘constitutional nationalism’, which is an ex-Yugoslavian variant of liberal nationalism. This concept privileges the members of one ethnically defined nation over other population in a particular state, and as such, does not fit into liberal constitutional framework. Furthermore, as a solution to this problem, I will offer two alternative strategies. First strategy is liberal nationalism, and the second one is ‘constitutional patriotism’. In my thesis I will show that constitutional patriotism is the best organizational form for states of Former Yugoslavia. |
