Bulatović Aleksandra
Aleksandra Bulatović is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Philosophy and Social Theory in Belgrade. She earned her SJD from the Faculty of Law, University of Belgrade, and her master’s degree from the Central European University in Budapest. Her doctoral dissertation explored the role of human rights in shaping contemporary anti–organised crime policy.
Her academic expertise spans non–conventional soft security, human rights theory, and the intersection of philosophical practice and collective well–being. She has also contributed to applied ethics, particularly in developing ethical frameworks for the security sector.
Currently, her research focuses on various dimensions of justice and social governance. She is particularly interested in human security, understood as the right to an optimal quality of life, and examines how social and institutional structures shape experiences of suffering, pain, and discrimination. Her work explores possibilities for social resilience, equitable resource distribution, and ecological sustainability, bridging theoretical inquiry with practical concerns for justice and societal well–being.
