Postovane clanice i clanovi foruma,
Kriticko stanoviste prema globalizaciji i novom svetskom poretku g. Vojislava Micovica s kojim sam se upoznala zahvaljujuci www.ANTIC.org, ohrabrilo me je da vam se obratim s jednim pitanjem. Posto nemam finansijskih mogucnosti da otputujem na XV Kongresu Medjunarodnog socioloskog udruzenja (ISA) da usmeno predstavim i branim jedno takodje kriticko tumacenje globalizacije, moje pitanje glasi: da li mozda znate u Australiji neko udruzenje nasih ljudi kojima bih mogla da se obratim s molbom da eventualno sponzorisu putne troskove mojeg ucesca na ovom skupu od 7-13 Jula u Brisbane-u . Organizoatori su mi vec obezbedili kotizaciju i prenociste, ali za prevoz moram da se snadjem, a to je za mene nedostizno skupo ( US$ 1,200+ takse )Na ovom skupu bi trebalo da ucestvujem u vodjenju uvodne sesije Istra`ivackog komiteta br.10 ISA-e i da izlozim svoj rad "Globalization of Democratic Participation and Self -governance versus Globalization of Oligopolistic Markets and Totalitarianism". Nameravam i da na sednici Izvrsnog Odbora ovog Istrazivackog Komiteta ciji sam clan, predlozim organizovanje medjunarodnog istrazivanja o ucestvovanju gradjana u donosenju strateskih odluka o proizvodnji i raspodeli. Organizoatori su mi vec obezbedili kotizaciju i prenociste, ali za prevoz i hranu moram da se snadjem sama. Hrana nije problem jer ce mi upravo prijati dijeta, ali i najjeftinija varijanta prevoza je za mene nedostizno skupa.
Javila sam se odgovarajucem saveznom ministarstvu, ali kao sto znate savezne institucije trenutno ne funkcionisu. Nadlezna komisija se verovatno nece ni sastati na vreme, posto sredstva za medjunarodnu naucnu saradnju jos nisu odobrena i ne zna se da li ce biti. Ukoliko mi sredstva naknadno budu odobrena, predacu ih eventualnim sponzorima na ime kupovine karte. Ne zelim ni da pokusam da se obracam Fondu za otvoreno drustvo i slicnim nevladinim (zapravo s raznim vladama tesno povezanim) organizacijama. Pojedini njihovi sefovi sponzorisu teorijsko i prakticko pripremanje, sprovodjenje i pravdanje bombarderskog "otvaranja" drustava ciji resursi zapadnu za oko njima i ostalim pripadnicima globalne finansijske oligarhije.
Svesna sam da u okolnostima velike neimastine ima puno vaznijih stvari od bilo cijeg ucesca na svetskim naucnim kongresima. Smatram ipak da treba ispitati i najmanju mogucnost da se istrazivaci drustva angazuju na nacin koji najbolje znaju - uporednim ackionim istrazivanjima u saradnji sa zainteresovanim objektima istrazivanja, koji u toku i kroz ucestvujuce istrazivanje postaju subjekti.
Na kraju ove poruke prilazem abstract da bi mogli da procenite da li za ovakav teorijski i prakticki pristup uopste ima zainteresovanih da ga sponzorski podrze u delu putnih troskova. Ukoliko nekoga interesuje, mogu da stavim na raspolaganje i citav rad. Bila bih zahvalna na kritickim primedbama.
U nadi da cete mi odgovoriti makar i prostom negativnom recenicom, zelim vam sve najbolje.
Vera

GLOBALIZATION OF
DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATION AND SELF -GOVERNANCE VERSUS GLOBALIZATION OF
OLIGOPOLISTIC MARKETS AND TOTALITARIANISM
(Paper contributed to RC Participation, organizational democracy and
self-management (10), Opening session, XVth ISA World Congress of Sociology,
Brisbane, Australia, 7-13 July 2002.)
Abstract
The paper re-examines
the fashionable theme "globalization of markets" in the light of the several
centuries long process of world-wide violent expansion of capitalist social
relations. It focuses its present culmination in the neo-liberal policy variant
of the capitalist strategy of less than 500 controlling package owners of the
biggest supra- and transnational industrial corporations and financial
institutions, to get an unimpeded access to and exclusive control of material
and human life reproduction resources of the world through privatization.
Presented are the devastating consequences of the implementation of this
strategy's profit production motive, oligopolisticaly distorted market
competition and parasitic unproductive financial speculation, as manifested in
the extreme concentration of wealth and power, mass unemployment, poverty,
illness, instigation of local wars to get out of ensuing global economic
depression, and generation of totalitarian social relations, environmental
pollution, depletion and destruction.
Paper further critically
re-examines the XXth century "real-socialist" negative experiences of the
"dictatorship over the needs". It points out some lessons that can be learned
from the Yugoslav self management experience for the present and future attempts
at the re-conceptualization of the alternative post capitalist strategy of
collective ownership, participation in strategic decision-making and self
governance on local, national, regional and global level.
On the basis of
the survey conducted among the social science students in 1999, 2000 and 2001,
years crucial for the transformation of the dominant social relations in FR
Yugoslavia, paper lastly examines the attitude of these potential community
opinion leaders toward the main types of social development
strategies.
