Immediately after the end of World War II, Western Allies organized refugee camps in their occupation zones in Austria, Italy and Germany which existed until early 1950s. Foreign citizens, such as forced laborers and prisoners of concentration camps, who had been found mostly in Germany and Austria after the collapse of the German Reich, were placed in those camps, as well as military and civilian post-hostilities refugees fleeing from the Red Army and partisan-communist forces from Eastern, Central and Southeastern Europe. A great number of persons were extradited to their countries of origin on charges of war crimes. Among them were many Croats, primarily members of the Croatian armed forces and the Ustasha movement. The remaining refugees are displaced around the world especially in countries of South and North America and in Australia.

This paper proposes to offer the statistical presentation of the transylvanian educational system and culture-generating institutions between 1918 and 1948, relying primarily on the hitherto published statistical summaries, censuses, annals, and studies, without carrying out any fundamental research or analysis. The paper fits into the first phase of a larger European comparative research project supported by the European Research Council. The documentation needed for the detailed analyses in the second phase is collected by other colleagues working on this research. Hopefully, their findings will be published in the near future.

More...The 2014 National Human Development Report clearly shows that the role of the private sector in generating human development transcends that of a tax-payer and a creator of jobs, important though these contributions are. The report presents a thoroughly documented review of global and national experience to demonstrate how the private sector can play the role of catalyst for change by promoting new approaches, technologies, services and policy proposals. We trust these examples will inspire all of the many actors who have a part to play in this and help to drive further the efforts of the Moldovan business community to advance the modernization of the country. // The sustainable and inclusive development of Moldova in a way which benefits all people will occur only if Government, the private sector and society at large join efforts to achieve this goal. The 2014 report seeks to identify what can drive the private sector’s contributions to economic and social progress, what the obstacles are, and how an ecosystem conducive for stronger private–public development engagement can be attained. It provides a set of well-defined policy recommendations for all national actors, including central government and private companies, which we hope will continue the discussions started in the process of formulating the report.

Voi propune, în această lucrare, un punct de vedere destul de incomod. E vorba despre faptul că, într-un spațiu larg al Europei Centrale - acoperind, în mare, Austria, Cehoslovacia, Ungaria, Iugoslavia și România de astăzi -, societatea a fost îmbibată de un etos comun, esențialmente diferit de acel „etos protestant al muncii” care se dovedise indispensabil în procesul impunerii capitalismului modem și a democrației liberale în țările anglo-saxone și în nord-vestul european în general. Nu pe munca aducătoare de cîștig ori pe realizările individului s-a întemeiat etosul Europei Centrale, ci mai degrabă pe acumularea de cunoștințe și pe recunoașterea comunitară a importanței instruirii, înțeleasă ca măsură a tuturor meritelor umane și ca vehicul al avansării sociale. Voi încerca să explic mai întîi originile ideologice ale etosului central-european și modul de diseminare al acestuia. în al doilea rînd, potrivit implicațiilor titlului pe care l-am ales, voi încerca să precizez dimensiunea socială și de clasă a acestui fenomen etic și istoric. Și anume, voi aduce exemple pentru a demonstra că etosul central-european era larg răspîndit în toate clasele sociale, de la cei săraci la aristocrație, precum și în toate grupurile etnice. Iată de ce întreg spațiul respectiv împărtășea credința în epistemologie drept singura în stare să furnizeze reguli valide pentru mobilitatea socială și pentru organizarea societății. în al treilea rînd, voi examina geografia culturală a fenomenului, altfel spus, sfera geografico-istorică a etosului instruirii, măsura în care acesta definește o identitate culturală comună pentru Europa Centrală și, în același timp, asemănările și diferențele în raport cu celelalte părți ale continentului (Germania, Rusia, Franța). Alte subiecte vor fi atinse în treacăt: declinul și/sau dispariția etosului central-european în chiar spațiul unde acesta s-a născut, neașteptata lui supraviețuire/resurecție în America de Nord, precum și relevanța pe care acest etos „central-european” o dobîndește pentru lumea întreagă la sfîrșitul secolului XX.
