Antonijević’s main area of interest include the intellectual history of Socialist Yugoslavia and Yugoslav self-management, as well as the history of Marxist philosophy and anarchism. In his master’s thesis (MA), Pavle addressed the intellectual views of Praxis philosophers towards the question of state socialism and their debates about the Yugoslav dilemmas related to market, decentralization, and self-management during the 60s and 70s. The other thesis (LLM) is the comparative law analysis of two different projects of communal and direct democracy – Yugoslav Socialism and Democratic Confederalism in Northern Syria. In his doctoral research, Antonijević examines the representation of anarchism in Socialist Yugoslavia. This entails exploring the conceptual history, as well as the diverse array of meanings and representations that emerged among political and intellectual figures.
