Biography
Slobodan Jovanović was born in
He eventually left the diplomatic service in favour of academia and literary pursuits and became a contributing author and literary critic for several notable newspapers of the time.
For more than four decades, Jovanović taught at the law faculty gaining a reputation as an authority on
Slobodan Jovanović was a critic of Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law.[14] His primary remarks are on the relation of Kelsen's theory to other German theorists at the time. He considered Kelsen an innovative "young" theorist, but thought that his framework was not as dissimilar to more classical theories that Kelsen, in Jovanović's opinion, tried to attack. Namely, Jovanović posited that the special position of the Basic norm for Kelsen could be reduced to the framework of more classical German theories, in which the state is a legal person from which the legal system originates, and vice versa.[15] Jovanović considered this to be a flaw of Kelsen's Legal positivism that makes it a theory that does not truly address the origins of the law, as it fails to truly separate in analysis the legal system from the state as an actor. In this way, Jovanović rejects an analysis that would fully divorce the man as a legal creature, from man as a political one.[16]
Jovanović had some influence on political life in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia due to his well established authority in the field of law and history,[17] but he entered directly political life only in 1939 when the Serbian Cultural Club was established, and he was appointed as Club's president.[18]
He was a pro-Western politician and when a pro-Western military coup took place in Belgrade on 27 March 1941, a pro-Western, essentially pro-British government was installed headed by General
Tried in absence in Josip Broz Tito's communist state together with general Draža Mihailović, he was sentenced to 20 years in jail which he never served, as well as the loss of political and civil rights for a period of ten years, and confiscation of all property and loss of citizenship.[21] He spent his later years in exile in London (1945–1958).[22] A memorial plaque in honour of Professor Slobodan Yovanovitch, Serbian historian, literary critic, legal scholar, Prime Minister of Yugoslavia may be found in London at 39b Queen's Gate Gardens, Kensington.[23]
After unofficial rehabilitation in 1989, his collected works were published in 1991.
Legacy
Jovanović was decorated
In Serbia, he is regarded as one of the most influential liberals
Leading Serbian journal Politika on the occasion of his 70th birthday concluded that "his name has been carved as the highest peak of our culture up to now".[28]
Works
His collected works were published in 17 volumes in 1939–1940. They contain the results of his unremitting labour as a writer, professor and politician for sixty years, and throw considerable light on
Since 2003 his portrait has appeared on the 5000 dinar banknote, and his bust stands at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade. His official rehabilitation occurred on 26 October 2007 by a Belgrade court.[29][30] Since 10 December 2011, plateau in front of Faculty of Law in Belgrade bears his name.[31]
