Bulatović Aleksandra

Aleksandra Bulatović is affiliated to the Institute of Philosophy and Social Theory in Belgrade, as Associate Research Professor. She earned her SJD degree from the Law Faculty, University of Belgrade and master’s degree from the Central European University in Budapest. Her doctoral dissertation is on the role of human rights in contemporary anti–organised crime policy design.

Her primary academic expertise is in non–conventional soft security, the theories of human rights and the relationship between philosophical practice and collective well–being. She has also worked on applied ethics, especially on the development of ethics for the security sector. Currently, she focuses in her research on the proportionality between repressive and non–repressive models of fighting organized crime, the role of individual segments of the social system in this process, or a ‘division of labor’ between the institutions and civil society actors, and the modalities of combining measures associated with criminal legislation and criminal justice system, and those which are in the area of social policy, thus unrelated to criminal justice per se. Her most special interest is in human security as it relates to the achievement of optimum life quality, e.g. in the theories of human rights and the relationship between philosophical practice and collective well–being.
