Serbia charakteryzuje się niestabilnością polityczną i państwową od początku swojej nowożytnej historii. Problemy z określeniem racjonalnego interesu narodowego, kwestie granic państwa, strategii rozwoju pokazują, że w tym kraju istnieją poważne problemy z utworzeniem syntezy społecznej rozumianej jako „wartość dodana” własnej historii – uczenie się na błędach i wyciąganie właściwych wniosków. Praca stanowi próbę pokazania, dlaczego serbskie elity pozostają nieskuteczne w tworzeniu funkcjonalnego systemu społecznego w dominującym kontekście społecznym (w tym racjonalnie pojętego interesu narodowego jako fundamentalnego warunku stabilności społecznej).

Since the beginning of its modern history Serbia has been characterized by political and state instability. The issues regarding determination of a rational national interest, the questions of country's borders and development strategy show that the country has considerable problems to create a social synthesis understood as „positive value” of the country's history – learning from its own mistakes and drawing correct conclusions. The paper is an attempt to present the reasons for which the actions of Serbian elites remain ineffective in creating a functional social system in the dominating social context (including a reasonable national interest as a fundamental condition of social stability).

This paper aims to review some important ideas, conceptualizations and definitions of Europeanization from the perspectives of the European integration processes in the Western Balkans region. Europeanization can be understood not only as a modernization process with its norms and values, but also as changes in the substance and process of democratic governance. The region provides further explanatory tools of Europeanization, such as “Balkanization,” in terms of closing up the process of establishing stable nation-states or a “quasi-Metanarrative” which provides a virtually new meaning to political life in the region. The paper’s goal is also to explain the specificities related to the processes of Europeanization in this rapidly transforming region of Europe.

Political extremism (and particularly right wing political extremism) remains relatively insufficiently explored due to the fact that the phenomenon is controversial and hard to define. Its ambiguity and variability depending on time and spatial point of view further complicates its definition. Its structure is amorphous and eclectic as it often includes elements from different ideologies and connects incompatible ideas. A multidimensional conceptualization and an interdisciplinary approach - sociological, social, psychological and historical, are the Author’s tools in explaining the phenomenon of political extremism in Serbia, hopefully contributing to its clarification and laying a foundation for its further explanatory theoretical studies.
