Carl Schmitt's Critique of Modernity and Vision of Global Order

Autorica tematizira teorijski opus njemačkog pravnog i političkog mislioca Carla Schmitta. Pregledom njegovih djela kao što su Rimsko katoličanstvo i politički oblik, Doba neutralizacija i depolitizacija, Pojam političkoga itd. autorica sumira Schmittov kritičan stav prema razdoblju modernosti te njegov potencijalni odgovor na moderne političke i društvene izazove koji ide onkraj političkih ideologija liberalizma i socijalizma. Schmittova kritika modernosti povezuje se s njegovom vizijom globalnog poretka kako bi se dobio obuhvatan pregled Schmittovog teorijskog okvira koji bi bio primjenjiv u globaliziranom svjetskom poretku. Teza koju rad nastoji dokazati na ovaj način jest da Schmittova politička teorija u svojoj konzervativnosti i dalje predstavlja koristan alat u promatranju suvremenih političkih i društvenih odnosa, posebice u vremenu kada se sve više govori o „krizi modernosti“ i postmodernom globalnom poretku. Schmittov doprinos političkoj teoriji tako se povezuje sa suvremenim političkim fenomenima kao što su politike identiteta i rat protiv terora.The author discusses the theoretical work of the German legal and political thinker Carl Schmitt. By reviewing his works, such as Roman Catholicism and Political Form, The Age of Neutralization and Depoliticization, The Concept of the Political, etc., the author summarizes Schmitt's critical attitude towards the modern period and his potential response to modern political and social challenges beyond the political ideologies of liberalism and socialism. Schmitt’s critique of modernity is linked to his vision of a global order, in order to obtain a comprehensive overview of Schmitt’s theoretical framework that would be applicable in a globalized world order. The thesis that the paper seeks to prove in this way is that Schmitt's political theory in its conservatism continues to be a useful tool in observing contemporary political and social relations, especially at a time when there is increasing talk of the "crisis of modernity" and the postmodern global order. Schmitt’s contribution to political theory is thus linked to contemporary political phenomena such as identity politics and the war on terror
