REVOLUTION AND CONSTITUTION IN POSTCOMMUNISM: THE CASE OF SERBIA

Milan Podunavac ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Beograd, Beograd, Srbia

Abstract

In the light of the dramatic events in the Serbian political society, the author looks into the most fundamental question of the political theory of constitutionalism: in which way a revolution may reach its apogee in a viable form of constitutional government. The liberal revolution in Serbia enabled the collective identity to be redefined on the basis of constitutional patriotism. The author thinks that constitutional patriotism may be a good basis for a reconstruction of the political regime beyond the nation-state.
