The subject of this paper is a comparative analysis of the social status of intelligence in three selected countries of the former Yugoslavia: Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), Montenegro (MNE), and Serbia (SER). The aim of this research is the perception of the impact of certain selected factors on the social status of inteligence in these countries. It starts with the hypothesis that the social status of intelligence in the post-socialist transition process has been permanently deteriorated, mainly due to the unfavorable and synergistic impact of political, economic, institutional, and cultural-educational factors. In this paper, survey method and multiple linear regression method were used to determine the hypothetical perceptions of intellectuals on the social status of intelligence and an impact of basic social factors on it. It was concluded that the hypothesis has been verified and that the respondents in the observed countries in large percentage and sufficiently homogeneously have estimated that the position of intelligence was objectively deteriorating during the observation period.
ABSTRACT. This paper analyzes and explores the perception of the relevant subjects on impact degree of the five negative factors: a) path dependence -inherited crisis factors in socialism, b) globalization of geopolitics and geo-economics, c) the responsibilities of governing structures, d) deficit of realistic and pluralistic institutional changes, and e) neoliberal economic policies at the level of the transition crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro. The aim is to determine the perceptions of respondents about the individual and the overall impact of selected factors on the transitional crisis. It starts from the hypothesis that in the transitional period all these countries had an increased level of socio-economic turmoil with dominating negative impact of the above mentioned factors. The conclusion is that overcoming the crisis requires consistent implementation of many social changes and economic reforms, which will induce the reduction and/or neutralization of all explored negative factors of influence, regardless of the expressed perception of their importance. The starting hypothesis has been fully proven using the multi linear regression analysis and a multiple hierarchical regression analysis.
The subject of this paper is to point out phenomenologically the causes of the evident decline in the quality of higher education in the selected countries of the Southeast Europe: Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), Montenegro (MNE) and Serbia (SER). The aim of this research is comparing respondents' perceptions in the above countries regarding the basic and general causes of decline in higher education levels, which is generated by massive negative (braking) processes and tendencies. It starts with the hypothesis that most problems in higher education of the considered countries originate for two reasons: application of the political principle of the voting machine and selective application of the so-called "Bologna Process" in the field of higher education. The multiple regression linear approach is methodologically applied to the sample of 210 respondents in the three countries mentioned above. The results have confirmed the validity of the hypothesis and, consequently, the need for significant educational reforms in the part of the independent variables, which would lead to an increase in the quality of higher education.
