Trebišnjica. Jučer najveća ponornica, danas tvornica struje, sutra…?

Author(s): Ivo Lučić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 8/2012

Using the well-known underground stream Trebišnjica as a case study, the author ponders on the fate of Mt.Dinara karst streams, that underwent significant changes during the twentieth century, the problem that has not been seriously addressed yet. First, the author uses a historic approach to lay down the scientific evaluations of the Trebišnjica underground stream and its natural values; next, typical images of the stream that were used in the more recent history: a traditional image, using mythology and religious meaning to depict the landscape; then, its usage and utility to the region; further, the author presents the changes, that have occurred by adverse effects of industrial use. Finally, the complexity of karst ecosystem is brought to the spotlight - with Trebišnjica in its major role – a subject to scientific research, a task for public management and an important cultural value.

Identitete in imena gospodarskega zgodovinopisja v Sloveniji

Author(s): Žarko Lazarević / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 8/2012

In the article the author is discussing the issue of development and emancipation of economic history as a discipline in Slovenia, more precisely within the research field of historiography. The discussion, which is limited on modern period, points out the most significant economic history books and articles and their authors from the viewpoint of methodology, concepts, thematizations and reference backgrounds. It is strongly emphasized that we are dealing with the diversity of economic historiography in Slovenia. Within economic historiography cohabitate two approaches, traditional and modern, descriptive and problems or analysis oriented. Slovene economic historiography started with establishment in the 1960s on the basis of traditional methodological approach, without clear concepts and categories. Important shift was made in the 1990s, when process of modernization started in Slovene economic historiography. In the historical overview we also need to mention the important role of some Slovene social scientist in the process of formation of economic historiography.

Planina Ryohakusanchi: ljudi i okoliš grada Johana

Author(s): Isao Koshimura / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 8/2012

Johana, a town of silk, is located on the edge of Ryohakusanchi mountain district and had a close business relationship with Gokayama and Shirakawa by trading in raw silk. Johana was founded by the temple of Zentokuji in 16th century. In the Edo period, feudal lord Maeda of the Kaga clan promoted Johana’s economical activities by opening markets and protecting silk textile domestic industry. Johana at that time was a market town, and was the most important town next to the castle cities of the Kaga clan. Although controlled by the magistrate, people of the Johana town enjoyed some autonomy and started to obtain economic power. Servants who came from surrounding villages worked for the ecnomic power of Johana; maidservants as weavers of silk textile, menservants as money collectors running for Gokayama villages nearby. Sericulture had developed since 16th century in Gokayama and Shirakawa because they are surrounded by high mountains and have limited land to be cultivated. People of Gokayama/ Shirakawa raised silkworm by organizing themselves in extended family system, that is similar to the Balkan’s zadrugas. Shirakawa was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and prohibited from dividing their extended families. On the other hand, Gokayama was under the rule of the Kaga clan, and allowed to divide their families in case they have large enough land. Therefore, extended family system had been maintained for long time in Shirakawa and sericulture was developed especially in such area where extended families are concentrated. In Meiji period, a lot of families of Gokayama migrated to Hokkaido and other big cities in Japan. However, extended families of Shirakawa were resolved very slowly. Though, nowadays it is almost impossible to find extended families. Large houses of Gokayama /Shirakawa, were once inhabited by extended families. Today they are registered in the World heritage and are attracting attention of tourists as a symbol of Japanese traditional family and its way of life.

Sosyal Konstrüktivizm ve Kopenhag Okulu Bağlamında Lübnan’daki Siyasal Yapının Değerlendirilmesi

Author(s): Göktürk Tüysüzoğlu / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 35/2013

Lebanon, which has been affected from the Arabic culture generally, includes various religious/denominational factions on its own. Therefore Lebanon is a country that reflects large scale social and political alterations overtly. Due to the geographical position and social structure, Lebanon has a place in the foreign policies of Syria, Iran, Jordan and Israel particularly. Lebanon articulates nearly all of the chronic problems of the Middle East into its body. The religious/denominational variety that Lebanon holds, pushes the identity of being Lebanese into the background and causes the communions which has been factionalized by the help of social differentiation to gain importance when it is united with the international system-based conflicts that are related with the Middle East. Social and political tensions that arise from Lebanon take their sources from the securitization of the religious/denominational separation lines. This work deals with the future of Lebanon in the wake of the Arab Spring by drawing upon the theories of social constructivism and Copenhagen School.

Türkiye’nin Afrika Açılım Politikası: Tarihsel Arka Plan, Stratejik Ortaklık ve Geleceği

Author(s): İbrahim Arslan,Soner Karagül / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 35/2013

After the approval of ‘Opening to Africa Plan’ in 1998, Turkey, who has made an entrance to Africa recently, specifically by implementing a policy which has had economic, cultural and humane dimensions since 2005, is developing its relations with the countries of Africa and consolidating the institutional infrastructure of the cooperation based on the strategic partnership. Cooperation, whose principles were defined by two parties at the I. Summit held in Istanbul where ‘The Istanbul Declaration’ and ‘The Framework for Cooperation’ documents were adopted, was carried to the implementation phase by ‘Implementation Plan 2010-2014’.The development of the Turkey-Africa relations has an importance which will have bearings on balance of regional powers. While opening to Africa has supplied economic and political opportunities to Turkey, decision makers will face with the difficulties of multilateral politics in the forthcoming course.

Türkiye’de Üç Tarz-ı AB Siyaseti: Post-Yapısalcı Bir Okuma

Author(s): Ali BALCI / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 35/2013

This study, which deals with Turkey-EU relations in the first decade of the 2000s, interrogates the way in which relations between Turkey and the EU have shaped relations between domestic actors in Turkey. This paper assumes that foreign policy is not independent from domestic affairs and therefore asks how we can understand Turkish-EU relations in terms of relations among secular, Islamic and Kurdish power blocks in Turkey.

AB Temel Haklar Ajansı’nın İnsan Haklarının Korunması ve Geliştirilmesindeki Rolü ve Etkinliği

Author(s): V. Atilla Oğuşgil / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 35/2013

The European Union has been continuously creating instruments in order to achieve the aim of ensuring the protection and promotion of human rights which is one of the core elements on which the Union was established and has been institutionalizing for the core element in question via these instruments. One of the instruments created within this framework is the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, which was established in 2007 as the Union’s supranational human rights institution. The purpose of this study is to present a critical analysis of the role and efficiency of the Agency in question for the protection and promotion of human rights. Within this context, the study also aims at highlighting the model practices and contributions of the Agency, identifying its shortfalls and also putting forward recommendations for these shortfalls.

Barışın Ekonomi Politiği: Uluslararası İlişkilerde Liberal Kuram ve Ticari Liberalizm

Author(s): Mustafa Cüneyt Özşahin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 35/2013

Political economic perspectives have been gaining ground in the discipline of international relations with the rapid economic globalization. The relationship between trade and peace is also one of the controversial debates in political-economy. There is a large body of research that demonstrates that trade reduces the likelihood of conflict. This hypothesis, also called as commercial peace or commercial pacifism in academia, is closely related to commercial liberalism that is one of the key components of liberal theories of international relations. After a survey of the historical evolution of the liberal economic/politic order in world politics, this study presents the main theoretical tenets of liberalism in international relations. In addition to this, this paper analyzes different branches of liberalisms with a specific reference to commercial liberalism. Lastly, a wide range of theoretical and empirical literature has been reviewed in order to account for the role of commercial liberalism in international political economy.

Význam národního teritoria a hranice pro národní sebeuvědomování Finů v 19. a na začátku 20. století

Author(s): Tomáš Masař / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2010

The creating of integrated Finnish state under the rule of Russian tsar in the year 1809 was one of the turning points in the Finnish history. Since this time Finland became compact administrative unit within the Russian empire with large autonomy and self-government. Moreover since this time the Finnish national movement started to gain more ground and influence in the everyday life of Finns. We can even say, that with birth of Finnish state also emerged Finnish political selfconsciousness. The main aim of this study is to show, how the creating of the Finnish state and his borders influenced Finnish nationaly identity and self-confidence. The first part is trying to introduce the theoretical frame dealing with relation between national border and national identity mostly coming from the works of Finnish geographer Anssi Paasi. The spatial socialization of citizens with their land was among of mother tongue, church and national culture one of the corner stones of Finnish national identity. The Finnish frontier also played important role in using the dichotomy we/other, while defining Finns against other nations especially Russians. This was even raised by Finns as considering their own land as the last point of europian civilisation with the barbarian Orient behalf of their borders. One of the most common patterns used to strenghten the bond between the country and the nation, was using the national symbols, e.g. Fatherland or some mythical person, which should symbolise the whole country (Finnish maiden). Second part of the paper represent the changes of the Finnsh eastern border from the 13th century until nowadays. Especially in the 19th and 20th century played creation of the Finnish-russian border crucial role for Finnish national movement and later on also independence. In the last part of the study is described how the theoretical concepts were used in practical life in Finnland in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century by Finnish artists, writers, composers and among all the leaders of national movement. As a particular examlpe were chosen two books coming from two writers and important leaders of Finnish national renaissence in th second half of 19th century. By analysis of these two masterpieces of Finnish literature, Maamme kirja (The Book of our Land) from Zacharius Topelius and Oppikirja Suomen kansan historiassa (Schoolbook of the Finnish Nation in History) from Yrjö Sakari Yrjö-Koskinen, we can point out the importance of Finnish national territory and borders for national identity and self-confidence of Finns. Through these and also many other books writen by another great Finnish authors Finns were allowed to learn about rich national history and geography of their native land.

Prostor osmanského města v raném novověku

Author(s): Markéta P. Rubešová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2010

The research topic of space and its role in history will be tackled in the article Ottoman Urban Space in the Early Modern Period within urban realities of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The Ottoman city is defined hereinafter as an urban settlement under the sovereignty of the Sultan that has been incorporated into the administrative system of the empire. The phenomenon of space is understood in both physical and metaphoric meaning, as a lived place experienced by its everyday users. The chosen perspective, therefore, is the one from within, as the life and town-related practices of local population will stand in the foreground. The study is based on mainly secondary literature that makes extensive use of primary sources, but occasionally, some primary sources are also consulted (court records, town chronicles, Rabbinic literature etc.). The author is inspired chiefly by approaches of anthropology and cultural geography. These disciplines seem to be essential in the quest for decoding the urban fabric, to start with a physical appearance and location of architectonic elements, their function and ways of maintenance, and to conclude with human geography of the city – people’s behaviour in a given space and the related distribution of social roles. Life in the city is viewed against the background of the categories of the private and public in combination with gender issues and the city-wide implications of social and religious diversity of the Ottoman urban population. In the first part, the author brings an overview of the up-to-date scholarship on the cities in the realm of Islam and offers a consensual definition of an Ottoman city. The categories of private and public spaces in a city are marked with a great deal of ambiguity regarding what exactly one understands under these concepts and how they are, if at all, applicable in a historical research. While the public is understood in the sense of a meeting place of strangers filled with communication, the notion of the private is examined in its psychological, physical, and legal dimensions. For the Ottoman realities, it was necessary to add two types of space – semiprivate and semipublic – that functioned as transitional spheres between the public and private both in psychological and legal sense. The next chapter presents the Ottoman city as a physical space with its specific design and infrastructure. One of the main indicators of the Ottoman, but also any other city in the realm of Islam, was the division between the commercial and residential quarters. There were of course some shared elements, like streets, public baths or fountains. Special attention is dedicated to the institutions located in the town center and other facilities like parks, gardens and coffeehouses, spaces of communication and conversation par excellence. Residential areas divided into neighbourhoods are described in a separate chapter with a special focus on the architectonic disposition of houses and their en

První světová válka a změna prostorového paradigmatu: Naumann – Masaryk – Agnelli a Cabiati

Author(s): Milan Scholz / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2010

The First World War is considered as a turning point in modern history. The war changed the spatial paradigm. Its impact on changing human mentality enabled the formulation of territorial projects and prognoses striving for radical transformations in geographical understanding of Europe. The fall of multinational empires with parallel rise of new nation-states belong to the most significant aspects of post-war political system. However, the war projects offered a more complex set of territorial concepts ranging from radical nationalism to dissolving nation-states in supra-national communities. The article deals with comparative analysis of three war-time projects planning the post-war ‘New Europe’. The German Mitteleuropa concept formulated in Naumann’s book of the same name incited negative repercussions in the camp of Entente. In addition to Naumann’s view, the comparative research pays attention to two of them – Czech T.G. Masaryk’s concept called Nová Evropa: Stanovisko slovanské [New Europe: The Slavonic Standpoint] and G. Agnelli’s and A. Cabiati’s project of European federation (Federazione europea o lega delle nazioni?). The basic question of comparative analysis consists in the study of relationship between ‘national space’ and ‘supra-national space’. The comparison is based on four criteria – the role of national question, the projected supra-national organizations and their competences, the historical argument and the view of future. The comparison offers a possible typology of analysed projects. T.G. Masaryk’s national democratic concept claimed the self-determination principle and the equality for all nationalities regardless of their size and power. In this view, the plebiscite delimited state frontiers and the new European spatial organization consisted in existence of democratic nation-states guaranteeing minority rights. The creation and the authority of supra-national organization depended on the will of each newly formed democratic country. On contrary, F. Naumann’s (supra)national pragmatic concept foresaw obstacles linked to negotiations among a greater number of fully equal and sovereign states and distrusted the effectiveness of such a system. Naumann assumed the leadership of big nations (Americans, Russians, Englishmen, Germans) in the post-war world system and the creation of their own supra-national empires. In Naumann’s Mitteleuropa view, big nations held the decisive cultural, political and economic power; small nations could rely on cultural tolerance but their competences in deciding European affairs were restricted. Agnelli’s and Cabiati’s supranational democratic project supposed the rise of federal Europe. In this concept, the independence of European central organization vis-a-vis the member countries (especially great powers) was guaranteed by general shift of political authority from nation-states to the keeping of federal establishment – army, foreign policy and financial administration were federalized.

Proměny obrazu pražské zeleně v 19. století

Author(s): Barbora Kubecová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2010

Green space is nowadays an essential element of city urbanism and its importance isn’t just in its aesthetic function. Social function of the green space and its contribution to better, cleaner and more human city environment is undeniable. Green spaces make cities more attractive and create an ideal place for relaxation and fun. They often contrast with the intense urban development; they become part of conservation zones, historic buildings, historic monuments themselves and destinations of visitors. The green space can also be a socially stratified space, intersection, socio-cultural centre and a place expressing the history and national symbolism. Peter Clark, British historian, along with an international team of researchers came up with an original comparative research of green spaces. The article Image of Prague’s Green in the 19th century was inspired by their book The European City and Green Space. The aim of this article was to create an image of Prague’s green in the dynamic 19th century, through the historic record – nine Prague guidebooks dating back to 1835–1909. The analysis of the individual guides also raised several questions, e.g. whether the green space was an integral part of the urban area also in the 19th century. Whether these green spaces were identified as a prime location in the city and whether the city’s image was made by their presentation. Which urban green spaces were namely in question and what their meaning and function was. How the presentation of urban green space changed during the 19th century and what is today’s tradition of these places like. The author tries to introduce and define the city of Prague and its green space, present types of green space that emerged in 19th century and their development in the dictate of time. Through the study of these guides the author concludes that 19th century Prague was presented thereby as a green city the green space of which was also one of its advantages. The chosen guidebooks devoted sufficient space to the green area, although it is true that as a result of expansion of the city and birth of public cultural institutions, whether museums or theatres, this area was often obscured by cultural sanctuaries. The dominant feature, which was presented by the guidebooks and their description and choice, was the socio-cultural function. Green space also played an important role in presentation of the city and provides evidence of growing national self-confidence. The 19th century saw an enormous change of the former fortress city. The 19th century laid the foundation stone for building a large amount of green space in the heart of the city and in newly emerging districts as well. Prague urban space has become a mosaic composed of various types of urban green areas that throughout the centuries gradually and in accordance with the contemporary fashion enriched the city.

Japonské pojetí prostoru

Author(s): Linda Kovářová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2010

This study focuses on the Japanese way of space formation and perception of space. The topic of Japanese space is being discussed at different levels. Broader framework is represented by space defined in terms of civilization and culture, which is being decomposed into different types of space: space qualified by geographical means, space in relation to time constant, social space and residential space such as city and village, space identified throught its heritage or the space represented by collective memory. Such a picture of Japanese space and space perceptions serves to comparison of both the differencies and similarities that leads to better understanding of mechanism of spatial strategies. For example, the presented example of Japanese city of Hiroshima as a space being representantive of collective memory (space as a place of memory) challenges to comparison with other similar places hit by a tragedy, which offers an image of experiencing the past and dealing with the history.
