Der Zerfall Jugoslawiens in universalhistorischem Kontext „Die Jahrhundertwende brachte uns Werke einiger namhafter Historiker mit Versuchen, die Grundzüge der Epoche zu ordnen und sie als Ganzes zu durchmessen1. Die entworfenen universalhistorischen Rückblicke lassen auch die turbulenten Geschehnisse in Ruinen des ehemaligen Jugoslawien im schärferen Licht erscheinen. Obwohl dieses Gebiet und die dortigen Ereignisse im Jahrhundertmaßstab marginal erscheinen und in solchen säkularen Überblicken nur am Rande erwähnt werden, lassen sich nunmehr die Verbindungslinien zwischen den epochalen Ereignissen des Jahrhunderts und den Prozessen und Strukturen im europäischen Südosten besser erkennen.”[…]

In the context of a comparative international research project on loan words (“Loan Word Typology”) the stock of indigenous and borrowed equivalents was also established in Lower Sorbian using 1460 terms as a basis. The proportion of loan words established in the section of the Lower Sorbian vocabulary examined is calculated as 22.4 %. The largest part of this (18.7 % of the vocabulary) comes from German – a result which is not surprising given the longstanding linguistic contact between Lower Sorbian and German. The second most important donor is Upper Sorbian, from which words were increasingly adopted particularly from the middle of the 19th century, above all out of purist motives, i.e. with the aim of displacing German loan words. This piece provides, amongst other things, a survey of different historical contact situations and of the very different proportions of loan words in different semantic fields. It describes the distinctive features of the Lower Sorbian vocabulary which are a result of the competition between the two most important donor languages, German and Upper Sorbian.

The complexity of the multi-level European polity is not adequately represented by the single-level theoretical concepts of competing “intergovernmentalist” and “supranationalist” approaches. By contrast, empirical research focusing on multilevel interactions tends either to emphasize the uniqueness of its objects, or to create novel concepts – which are likely to remain contested even among Euro- peanists and have the effect of isolating European studies from the political science mainstream in International Relations and Comparative Politics. These difficulties are bound to continue as long as researchers keep proposing holistic concepts that claim to represent the complex reality of the European polity as a whole. It is suggested that the present competition among poorly fitting and contested generalizations could be overcome if European studies made use of a plurality of simpler and complementary concepts, each of which is meant to rep- resent the specific characteristics of certain subsets of multi-level interactions – which could also be applied and tested in other fields of political-science re- search. The paper goes on to describe four distinct modes of multi-level interaction in the European polity – “mutual adjustment”, “intergovernmental negotiations”, “ joint-decision making”, and “hierarchical direction” – and to discuss their characteristics by reference to the criteria of problem-solving capacity and institutional legitimacy.

A century from death of Emperor Franz Joseph I (21.11.1916) triggered a great number of publications about life and almost seven decades long reign of a popular monarch. As the political struggle between Russia, Prussia, Italy and Ottoman Empire are depicted with moderation, Serbia is described unidimensional, with an emphasis on the last decade of Emperors rule. In order to remedy this shortcoming, this contribution is focusing on a period between 1848 and 1908. Today we know much more about relations between Franz Joseph and King Milan Obrenović, as well as with dignitaries of Serbian Orthodox Church, and military, academic and artistic elite. It is, therefore, possible to refute entrenched notions about constant enmity and hostility between Austria and Serbia. In this work, an emphasis is put on cooperation between Austria and Serbia from 1848, when Serbs at Emperors request held a number of important political and military positions, whereas Serbian artists took part in the reconstruction of Imperial Vienna. The university of Vienna hosted the oldest institute for slavistic (1849), becoming, therefore, a crossroad of the cultural and social development of the Balkans.

The present paper discusses the consolidated jurisprudence of the German Constitutional Court regarding European integration, by putting it into a broader political and philosophical context and by referring to the German legal doctrine. The article analyses the important and well-known rulings Solange I, Solange II, Maastricht and Lisbon, but it also brings into discussion those less debated such as the ruling concerning the preventive data retention, the Mangold/Honeywell ruling or the very recent ruling concerning the European Mechanism of Financial Stability. Because of space limitations, the work is being published in two parts, the first one discussing the most important rulings of Germany's Federal Constitutional Court, and the second dealing with the other mentioned rulings. The conclusions are naturally to be found in the last part.

This study presents the approach developed by Greville Corbett of canonical inflection complexity as an instrument for evaluating inflective complexity. The comprehensive typology of complexity relationships, developed in Corbett (2015) using the example of a number of very different languages, is here applied to the inflective system of just one language, the Upper Sorbian literary language – comparing it with that of Lower Sorbian. The impressive diversity of complexity relationships, which characterizes Corbett’s model, can even be detected within one single Slav language.

Georgi Kyoseivanov, the War and the Ruling Circles in Bulgaria (February 1940 – September 1944). The article discusses the role of Georgi Kyoseivanov in Bulgarian politics after he left the post of Prime Minister until the Soviet army entered the country. The author examines his conceptual views against the background of the main stages of Bulgaria’s participation in the Second World War. He clarifies Kozheivanov’s position on the foreign policy course in the spring of 1943, not to seek the break-up of the alliance with Germany. He also describes the struggle for power between the various political groups after the death of the king, as well as the impersonal policy of the rulers afterwards. He argues that officially G. Kiosseivanov maintained the foreign policy line of the Government, but in a narrow circle expressed the opposite view. However, at the end of August 1944, he still believed that Bulgaria should maintain its pro-German line. The finale marks important moments of Kyoseivanov’s professional, civil and life biography after the coup on 9 September 1944 until his death in July 1960. The article is written on the basis of archival and published documents, scientific publications from the 1970s to the latest monographs, personal documents such as memoirs and diaries published in the last 20 years.
