POLJA ISTRAŽIVANJA

My field is political theory and comparative studies in political transformation (with the focus on gender and women). Recently, I was working on the following topics: 
* Politics and Power in Times of Terror. 
* Policy frames and implementation problems: the case of gender mainstreaming. 
* Rethinking the notion of politics and citizenship in the transitional East- and South-East European States, especially in connection with Hannah Arendt's thinking. 
* Gender and political transformation in the East- and South-east European states. 
* Right wing extremism, hostility and violence towards foreigners and other marginalized groups. 
My major research interest in the more distant past lay in the field of feminism and politics (especially women in social and political movements), in revolutions, civil society movements and feminism (especially women in French Revolution - Olympe de Gouges, German Socialist Movement – Lily Braun, Clara Zetkin, and new feminist movements in the 20. century). I worked on the notion of violence and politics in the work of Hannah Arendt, on the relationship between the social and the political in her work and on her notion of citizenship. In the past years I edited a book of Carl Schmitt’s texts (Three essays, my translation and my foreword) and the first edition of Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition (Vita Activa, my translation and my introduction) in the Slovenian language, and in 2006 also Between Past and Future. Six Exercises in Political Thinking.
