Sažetak
Recently we have witnessed a revival of interest shown for military and defence issues. But, the increased public interest reflects daily political inputs ; it is not the result of substantial changes in the attitude of citizens towards the formulation and implementation of public policies, or increased awareness of the problems of modern societies. Therefore, one cannot speak of a different positioning of the defence, as one of the policy areas in relation to other public policies, nor does it present the revaluation of defence issues in society - it shows an increased level of forms which are primarily determined by highly emotional patterns used in approaching these issues. Such an increase in the public interest is generally inversely proportional to the relevance of the topic involved. The main reason for this is found in over-simplification of the issues and their arbitrary and superficial contextualization.
