AB  - Main objective in this article is to describe in more details specific interlinkages
and exchange that is unfolding between political elite and entrepreneurs
as key actors that possess, manage and deploy economic resources in the private sector of the economy. The focus is on the specific mechanisms through which the exchange has been unfolding, as well as on the perception of the functionality of the exchange for the position and interests of both type of actors. The analysis is conducted using empirical findings from the qualitative, in-depth research on political clientelism and party patronage implemented in the spring 2015 upon sample of 55 representatives of political elite, 26 economic actors, 9 interlocking broker and 8 experts.
From the research, it is clear that economic actors have, to put it mildly, ambivalent attitude towards this way of functioning of the market. On the one hand, they feel all the risks they are exposed to: additional expenditure, unforeseen requirements, interference in their own personnel policy, uncertainty of their business in the long term, unfair competition, demand unpredictability etc. On the other hand, they take this play as given. When they think strategically, they rationally consider alternatives and cost-benefit relationship. Although the desire to get rid of the political embrace is present, the support that comes from that side represents at least a short-term guarantor of their position security. Political actors take this system as given to a certain extent and when describing the mechanisms of its functioning,
they do not question the system itself.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to examine the crucial actors, resources and in-formal mechanisms of the party patronage within Serbia's political fir-ld. Taking into account that important parts of political and economic I-F.-- production are held beyond institutional channels, the goal is therefore to represent key informal power networks, channels and arrangements in Serbia between political and economic actors on the national level. A particular study had been conducted in Serbia over the past year, and consisted of 98 face-to-face semi-structured interviews with various ex¬perts, political and economic actors (i.e. people within high public ad¬ministrative positions, politically influential people, appointed members in public enterprises, executives/managers/owners in private compa¬nies). The theoretical framework was based on concepts developed as an alternative to the institutional approach, such as clientelism, informality and party patronage (Kitschelt, Wilkinson, 2007; Kitschelt, 2000; Helmke, Levitsky, 2004, Ledeneva, 1998, 2013). The results indicated that political parties are the key actors in shaping informal relations inside the politi¬cal arena. Political competition -and the necessity to provide funding for these organizations- represents a crucial factor for structuring informal, clientelistic relations and party patronage. Economic actors are, in most cases, adaptable to the rules and party requests which are -more or less-fixed. Furthermore, the results showed that the power networks consist of the party cadre and institutions, and are therefore representative of more exclusive and centralized systems. Although these systems are not monolithic, they do however have a parallel function with several inter¬est groups which consequently, leads to competitions and conflicts in- de (and among) politicalparties.

structures informal networks and actions within political parties. We consider
this mechanism as crucial for influencing the dynamics of everyday political
functioning in Serbia. Taking into account the unemployment rate in Serbia
and the belated and slow development of the private sector, which cannot
absorb the labor force, employment in the public sector is considered to be an
important resource. We will explore how political players create their strategies
in order to satisfy personal or collective interest, specifically, employment
in the public sector, “navigating between formal rules and informal norms”
(Ledeneva, 2001: 15). First, this article addresses the use and dominance of informal networks,
clientelism, and patronage in the political sphere (specifically, political parties)
within the post-socialist Serbian development of a democratic system. Second, we present models and mechanisms of informal institutions, networks,
and rules in political parties that are important for the employment of party
members in public administration. Third, we analyze the normative framework which follows these informal institutions and enables their creation
and reproduction.

Intergenerational Educational Mobility of Youth in Serbia from 1980 to 2010

AB  - The aim of this paper is to examine different opportunities of the youth to enter in the educational system and to obtain certain educational diploma. Precisely, our goal is to investigate the influence of parents' education on the education of their offsprings. This phenomenon of intergenerational educational mobilitywill be investigated comparing two periods:  the first one is the crisis of socialist system (1980-1991) and the second is period of post-socialist transformation in Serbia (1991-2010). Taking into consideration our aim, in this paper we will offer answers on three related questions:
1.	What are the characteristics of intergenerational educational mobility in two aforementioned periods?
2.	In what manner parents' education affect educational level of their children? (Has this factor had the same influence or it has changed during these three decades?)
3.	What are the other factors which affect unequal access to different educational levels as well as drop-out? What is the influence of class, gender, settlement, ethnicity etc.?

In order to explain the process of intergenerational mobility in Serbia, we will highlight two crucial groups of factors. The first group reflects the importance of macro/structural factors such as the rise of industrialization (the development of secondary and tertiary sector), urbanization, institutional policies, and expansion of educational system. The second group of factors stresses the effect of micro mechanisms (the individual and family level) on the educational achievements.
Investigating the first group of factors, we will focus on the rate and extant of education throughout of time (also the influence of structural factors will be taken into consideration). Furthermore, we will examine second group of factors shading a light on unequal access to education, achievements on different educational levels and different individual chances to   capitalize acquired cultural capital on the labor market. 

For explanation of intergenerational educational mobility and the possibilities for young people to obtain certain education, it is especially useful classification (Lazić and Cvejić, 2004: 46–47) of class relations and social mobility in Serbia in three phases:  1. Crisis of socialism, 2. Blocked post-socialist transformation and 3. Unblocked post-socialist transformation. The first phase began in the late 1970s and it is characterized by gradual class closure due to the stagnation of industrialization and the reach of certain limits of economic system. Blocked and unblocked post-socialist transformation brought new changes in intergenerational mobility rates. The period of blocked post-socialist transformation led to drastic pauperization and the rise of class polarization, due to embargo, the civil war in surrounding countries and lack of readiness for change in politics and economic spheres. Finally, in the last phase of unblocked, unhindered post-socialist transformation, we witnessed certain level of economic, political and social stabilization. 
For analysismicro mechanismsof educational reproduction, we will use cultural capital theory,based onunderstanding of social stratification presented in Bourdieu's work(1986). According to this author, the position of the one holds in stratification system depends significantly on cultural capital of the family of origin (together with other sorts of capital). The two crucial institutions for reproduction of social positions are educational system and family. Additionally, educational system is, from this standpoint, in favor for those families and their descendants who have high level of cultural capital. In other words, the key function of educational institutions is reproduction of class relations.  


For analysis we will use three methods: 1.Visual: self -reproduction and mobility rates (total and according to educational categories)using moving averages in ten years2.Odd-ratio based on five-year age cohortsand 3.linear regression model which is used to measure the influence ofparents' educational level onchildren’s education.

Inorder to get big sample we will merge databases from three researches and we will use them as one sample.  The first sample is fromresearch„Social structure and life quality“held in 1989 on theterritory of ex-Yugoslavia and we will extract sample from Serbia without Kosovo (N=3769).Thesecond sample is research in 2003 held in South East Europe(South-East European Social Survey Project - SEESSP), from which we will extract sample for Serbia(N=2709).Finally, the third sample is fromsurvey held by Institute for sociological research – „Structure and changes of social relations“from 2014 (N=1602). Total sample after merging all three databases is  N=8080.

abstract = "The aim of this paper is to examine different opportunities of the youth to enter in the educational system and to obtain certain educational diploma. Precisely, our goal is to investigate the influence of parents' education on the education of their offsprings. This phenomenon of intergenerational educational mobilitywill be investigated comparing two periods:  the first one is the crisis of socialist system (1980-1991) and the second is period of post-socialist transformation in Serbia (1991-2010). Taking into consideration our aim, in this paper we will offer answers on three related questions:
1.	What are the characteristics of intergenerational educational mobility in two aforementioned periods?
2.	In what manner parents' education affect educational level of their children? (Has this factor had the same influence or it has changed during these three decades?)
3.	What are the other factors which affect unequal access to different educational levels as well as drop-out? What is the influence of class, gender, settlement, ethnicity etc.?

In order to explain the process of intergenerational mobility in Serbia, we will highlight two crucial groups of factors. The first group reflects the importance of macro/structural factors such as the rise of industrialization (the development of secondary and tertiary sector), urbanization, institutional policies, and expansion of educational system. The second group of factors stresses the effect of micro mechanisms (the individual and family level) on the educational achievements.
Investigating the first group of factors, we will focus on the rate and extant of education throughout of time (also the influence of structural factors will be taken into consideration). Furthermore, we will examine second group of factors shading a light on unequal access to education, achievements on different educational levels and different individual chances to   capitalize acquired cultural capital on the labor market. 

For explanation of intergenerational educational mobility and the possibilities for young people to obtain certain education, it is especially useful classification (Lazić and Cvejić, 2004: 46–47) of class relations and social mobility in Serbia in three phases:  1. Crisis of socialism, 2. Blocked post-socialist transformation and 3. Unblocked post-socialist transformation. The first phase began in the late 1970s and it is characterized by gradual class closure due to the stagnation of industrialization and the reach of certain limits of economic system. Blocked and unblocked post-socialist transformation brought new changes in intergenerational mobility rates. The period of blocked post-socialist transformation led to drastic pauperization and the rise of class polarization, due to embargo, the civil war in surrounding countries and lack of readiness for change in politics and economic spheres. Finally, in the last phase of unblocked, unhindered post-socialist transformation, we witnessed certain level of economic, political and social stabilization. 
For analysismicro mechanismsof educational reproduction, we will use cultural capital theory,based onunderstanding of social stratification presented in Bourdieu's work(1986). According to this author, the position of the one holds in stratification system depends significantly on cultural capital of the family of origin (together with other sorts of capital). The two crucial institutions for reproduction of social positions are educational system and family. Additionally, educational system is, from this standpoint, in favor for those families and their descendants who have high level of cultural capital. In other words, the key function of educational institutions is reproduction of class relations.  


For analysis we will use three methods: 1.Visual: self -reproduction and mobility rates (total and according to educational categories)using moving averages in ten years2.Odd-ratio based on five-year age cohortsand 3.linear regression model which is used to measure the influence ofparents' educational level onchildren’s education.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to contribute to the debate on the importance of informal connections between the politics and the economy in Serbia after the year 2000. The main idea which leads us is that there are obvious and numerous irregularities in individuals’ behaviors toward legally established rules and that unwritten rules and practices exist in the political field. Those informal prescriptions of actions are dictated by functional requirements of social system in which economic and political players act as rational actors in a specific context of the post socialist state. Furthermore, we will use qualitative approach in order to capture and explain individual
practices and institutions which political and economic officials create.
Particularly, we will conduct the in-depth interviews with middle-range politicians on the executive positions in the highest state institutions. The analysis will be based on interviews held from April to June 2013 and it will present two integrated levels of interactions between politics and the economy. Firstly, we will analyze the relations between the public institutions and the private capital. Especially, we will show how politicians use their positions in the public institutions to gain particular interest for their political parties. Secondly, we will investigate the process of monopolization of the positions in the public sector by the political parties which currently hold public resources. On the first level, it is shown that political parties are significantly financially dependent on the economic capital. These interactions are informal in a way that politicians gain financial support in order to provide privileged positions for their partners. On the other level, we consider the reality that political parties became the important channel for social mobility. Thus, it is crucial to understand the dynamics and functional conditionings and limitations between different structures in the political party. Taking into consideration that political parties depend greatly on loyalty of their members, it gives the possibility for middle and lower echelons to make a pressure on party leadership to infiltrate party members in the public institutions.
