Antonijević’s main area of interest includes a history of Socialist Yugoslavia, the history of Marxist philosophy, self-management, and various projects of direct democracy during the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as wider issues of intellectual history and political theory.
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. For his Ph.D, Pavle researches the stance of anarchism in Socialist Yugoslavia, as well as the potential influence and relations between the project of self-management with the ideas of social anarchism.
