Marija Zurnić’s latest work has been published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2019. By the title, Corruption and Democratic Transition in Eastern Europe – the Role of Political Scandals in Post-Milošević Serbia, we can see that we are in for some sordid tales. The meticulous details of these grand schemes of social robbery and psychopathy-in-office are not neglected. However, the proper subject of her work is not so much the crimes of tycoons in-themselves, but rather what is said about them, how they exist in the form of media scandals and discursive phenomena, as the subjects of fierce (one could say ‘obsessive’) debate in various public spheres. One could guess that the aim of all this discoursing is to change the malevolent practices of the ruling elite and their obliging legal, commercial, and industrial apparatuses. Covered in Zurnić’s book are close to two decades of scandals, conspiracies, and all manner of public outrage (following the overthrow of Milošević in 2000 to the street protests taking place today). Any glance at the history begs the question of what exactly is wrong here. The questions of Zurnić’s research are where is the (dis)connection between corrupt practices and social robbery, the media coverage and the public reaction to them? How can we get at the heart of this complex? Zurnić analyzed the phenomena of corruption scandal and social response by using the ASID theory and the formula stands for: Agency: “Agency is meaningful human behaviour, individual or collective, that makes a significant difference in the natural and/or social worlds, either by direct, unmediated action or through the mediation of tools, machines, dispositifs, institutions, or other affordances.”
