The creation of RADAR is related to the traditions and practices in Europe, and in particular, in the Balkans. RADAR facilitates communication with the contemporary trends of critical thinking and mutual linking of the domestic and foreign experts in the area of social sciences, communication and networking with institutions having with similar activities from the region and wider. The highly politicized society and the longlasting crisis, the absence of critical mass and thought in the processes of re-examination and re-evaluation of criteria, had provided the impetus for the creation of this organization. The absence of well informed and sensitized public for the socially divided and segregated categories of population and the contemporary and global trends in the development and the scientific thinking, lead to dehumanization and division that creates the gap between the academic and political elite, on one hand and other members of the community, on the other.
