Does more Feminism mean less Nationalism? The Relationship Between Feminism and Nationalism in Peacetime-Serbia

This research explores the extent of feminism and nationalism in peacetime Serbia and also the correlation between. Theories suggest these two systems of thought to be incompatible with each other, even exclusive. If someone is in fact a supporter of nationalist ideas, it is unlikely for this person to also have feminist sympathies. Insights obtained by reviewing and analyzing existing national data on how much support the Serbian people have for nationalist and feminist ideas gives an understanding of to what point the ideologies are widespread across the country. A field study in Belgrade, composed by surveys and interviews, has also been conducted to examine the validity of the alleged negative correlation between the two systems of thought. The research ultimately reveals, on the national level, higher percentage of respondents being against both feminist and nationalist ideas than in favor of them. On the local Belgrade level, the study highlights the reoccurring incident of participants shown indecisive of their opinions towards either system of thought. Simultaneously, aforementioned theories were proven likely valid since results from the local surveys in Belgrade yet showed an incompatibility of participants being both feminist and nationalist at the same time
