Democracy at Risk. The Growth of Nationalism and Extreme Right Parties as Threat to the EU

Author(s): Ewa Rokicka,Jeremy Leaman,Dieter Eißel / Language(s): English

The book analyses the threats to democracy that are associated with the rise of extreme-right parties and xenophobia in European Union countries. The authors show that the growing distrust towards democratic institutions and the increasing strength of populism and nationalism are connected with persistent inequalities and the malign focus on immigrants as scapegoats for the misery. Case studies from Germany, Great Britain, and Poland examine the details of the anti-democratic movements in these countries. They demonstrate the real threats to democracy and peaceful coexistence, and to the very future of the European project, its principles of solidarity and its political ambitions of convergence through mutual support. The reader will find in the book extensive empirical material outlining the situation in the European Union, along with proposals for solving the region’s social, economic and political dilemmas, for reversing the trends of fragmentation and for revitalising Europe’s democratic culture.

La Garantie Internationale en Droit des Minorités

Author(s): Athanase Moskov / Language(s): French

Published in 1936 by » Établissements Émile Bruylant, Société anonyme d’Éditions Juridiques et Scientifiques « (Brussels). // M. Moskov's work comes out at a time (1936) when the Law of Nations is going through a particularly acute phase of depression. Jurists will only be more pleased to see, at this precise moment, express with such lucidity, firmness and faith this interpretation of one of the most curious creations of contemporary international law: the guarantee of Minorities Rights elaborated in International Law. Without any doubt, it will surprise many politicians who have been directly involved, in recent years, in resolving the difficulties relating to the treatment of minorities. But is it not the highest mission of the jurist to project on the creations of social life the strong light of a penetrating analysis, to identify their distant origins, to mark their analogies, to render intelligible the functioning of the cogs of the new institution, to locate its place in the evolution of the Law? Attentive to the psychological, moral and social aspects of the new phenomenon, as well as to the conventional texts of which he gives us a penetrating analysis, M. Moskov gives these legal developments a solid basis which carries conviction. His main thesis, which the internationalists of the Contemporary School would be grateful to him for having demonstrated, is that the guarantee of the League of Nations constitutes in this case a real public function, not a faculty. The Council could not therefore avoid it without failing in its task.

Une Reponse Bosniaque. Modernité et Tradition

Author(s): Rusmir Mahmutćehajić / Language(s): French

The events that struck Bosnia at the turn of the millennium - its people slaughtered and expelled, assaulted and humiliated, its towns and villages ravaged - did not concern only Bosnia. No individual, nation, region or state was protected from it, although their role took different forms. It is the whole human person who has suffered. It would be a never-ending task to list and describe these various experiences, and anyway, no matter how deep we go, their essence may well remain elusive. This is why this book attempts, on a more general level, to differentiate the modern world view from the traditional one, allowing a "Bosnian response" to take shape as they meet. // PUBLISHED IN 2005 BY DURIEUX PUBLISHING HOUSE BASED IN ZAGREB

Confesiunile elitei comuniste. România 1944-1965: Rivalităţi, represiuni, crime… Arhiva Alexandru Şiperco, Volumul I

Author(s): Andrei Șiperco / Language(s): Romanian

Starting with the ’70s until the revolution of December 1989, Alexandru Siperco conducted several hundred unofficial interviews, totaling thousands of pages, with 350 members and sympathizers from illegality of the Romanian Communist Party (RCP) – among them many former members of the Communist nomenklatura or of the repression apparatus during the Gheorghiu-Dej regime – but also with representatives of former historical parties, including Corneliu Coposu, Ioan Hudita and Camil Demetrescu. No one, neither in Romania nor in the rest of the states of the former communist bloc, has initiated and even less has managed to achieve such an approach that concerns the uncosmitized history of communism. For Alexandru Siperco, the determinant was his desire to know as much as possible of the period between April 4, 1944, and the moment of March 19, 1965, the death of Gheorghiu-Dej. From the interviews given to Alexandru Siperco are not missing events such as: the act of august 23; actions for the conquest of power; liquidation of the political opposition; the struggle for power in the RCP and its consequences; collectivization and monetary reform; the role of Soviet advisers; the activity of repressive bodies; the regime in communist prisons; relations with Moscow leaders; the Rajk, Slansk and Kostov trials; foreign policy; blackmail, betrayals, assassinations; friends and rivals. There are also memories of illegals regarding the period of political detention, the Civil War in Spain, the French Resistance and the political emigration to the U.S.S.R. The testimonies present in this volume: Gheorghe Adorian, Petra Afanasiade, Milo Andreescu, Emilian Angheliu, Gheorghe Apostol, Melita Apostol, Ion Ardeleanu, Dumitru Baciu, Colonel Balaci, Eugen Bantea, Mircea Balanescu, Bernard Bereanu, Florica Bodnaras, Manole Bodnaras, Cristina Boico, Traian Borcescu, Bordea, Harry Brauner and Lena Constante, Sergiu Bratescu, Iosif Breban, Silviu Brucan, Jean Bruker, Zamfir brumaru, Valeriu Bucicov, Simion Bughici, Avram Bunaciu, Mihai Burca, Francisc Butyka.

Проактивни публични политики за намаляване на бедността

Author(s): Ralitsa Veleva / Language(s): Bulgarian

The scope of research in this work is at the intersection of proactive public policies and poverty. These two phenomena co-exist in a mutually defining contradiction and active development. This challenge sparked my interest in exploring the ways through which states can deliberately improve the conditions of their citizens in both the short and long term. "Poverty" is a category commonly used in daily life as a synonym for hidden deprivation. Perceived primarily as a personal problem, it remains a constant focus of inevitable public interest. In colloquial language, linking existence with "poverty" naturally evokes associations with destitution, scarcity, indigence, and so on, almost always unconsciously connected to its antonym, well-being. This monograph is an attempt to investigate poverty as a social phenomenon within the context of a set of effective tools for its potential gradual reduction, examining it as past experience, present challenges, and future prognosis. Its "eradication" remains but a faint hope. This book results from years of efforts to decipher the mechanism of understanding the functioning of public policies within the context of the factor-determined nature of poverty. We have invested faith in these policies, emphasizing their recognition and role in the development of education (the bidirectional relationship between the two phenomena) to enhance human capital as an anti-poverty factor. Later, our analyses extended to the complex "poverty-health" relationship, including the link between public health expenditures and life expectancy, framed through the concept of "health poverty." At that stage, the state of poverty in the EU member states was fragmentarily addressed, with a focus primarily on Bulgarian theory and practice. These aspectual studies form the emotional foundation of the present work, placing at its core the examination of state interventions in the EU and their potential to ensure a better life for the population in each member state. Having established the strong correlation between the level of completed education (or the lack thereof) and poverty, and how people's health follows the trajectory of their economic and social status, we proceeded to a thorough theoretical analysis of this complex phenomenon in the context of public administration development in the current century. All these inquiries directed our attention to public policies as an instrument for societal governance in modern democracies, including the development of a mechanism to measure the bidirectional relationship "proactive policies-poverty" (based on extensive and in-depth circumstantial evidence), which forms the basis for generating contemporary measures to regulate levels of deprivation in EU countries. In this process, the key characteristic of these policies emerged: their forward-looking perspective, which provoked the use of proactivity as a protagonist in the study. The title of the book contains two focal points: "proactive public policies" (means) and "poverty reduction" (end). These two centers are mutually determined. The increase in poverty requires the formation of proactive policies, whose implementation reduces the intensity of the observed scarcity. The driving forces of poverty management relationships are the integrated potential of state, business and civil organisations, along with the regulatory significance of community bodies. The study is organized into three chapters. The first chapter argues the necessity and possibilities for effective public administration through the application of proactive public policies. The second chapter presents the essential characteristics of poverty, its integration into international analyses, and the attempt to propose a comprehensive indicator framework by understanding the picture that illustrates the state and problems of poverty in EU countries. The third chapter views poverty as a multidimensional phenomenon that affects the choice of socioeconomic action alternatives. Measures for its possible reduction are proposed within the context of feasible political interventions. The conclusion of the study does not contain direct primary findings from the exposition, but through dialogical summaries, it models the diverse palette of the connection between poverty and key proactive factors and expected results. The aim of the research is to present and interpret the necessary "requisites" for the development and implementation of a comprehensive proactive policy for poverty reduction based on the accumulated achievements in this direction by EU countries. The adopted logic of presentation and analysis techniques, though addressing the specific problem of poverty/proactive policies, is applicable to solving other socioeconomic challenges faced by contemporary societies. The methodology of the study is based on the combination of a system approach with positive and normative analysis. The theoretical views on "proactive public policies" and the conceptual coherence between inequality and poverty are based on the analysis of literary sources and document research (desk analysis). In the second and third chapters, a comparative empirical approach is used in combination with the analysis and synthesis of existing best practices. The study contains current empirical material, distinguished by the structured presentation of arguments and tools for the formation and impact of public policies. Evidence is supported by correlation analysis, which evaluates the strength and direction of poverty dependence and its influence on long-term interventions. The study's limitations concern the period from 2011 to 2021/2022, and the observed countries are EU member states. Without bias towards any of them, Bulgaria and Romania are often subject of additional analyses due to their unfavourable position concerning public management of poverty.

Икономическата активност и развитието на банковия сектор в Централна и Източна Европа в условията на съвременните кризисни процеси

Author(s): Gergana Mihaylova-Borisova,Milena Kovachevich,Darina Koleva,Elena Panayotova,Monika Kirilova / Language(s): Bulgarian

The world has been gripped by a series of crises over the past two decades - the Global financial crisis in 2008, the European debt crisis in 2012-2013 and the Pandemic crisis in 2020 caused by the spread of the coronavirus. All these crises have an impact on the economic development of countries worldwide, but inevitably also affect banking activities in many of them. The aim of this monograph is to offer an in-depth and logically coherent scientific study on the problems of economic development and the stability, regulation and efficiency of the banking systems of the countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and to assess the relationship between economic growth and the development of the banking system in these countries, as measured by their technical efficiency. This study covers the CEE countries: Bulgaria Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania and Latvia. The study argues that in order to achieve sustainable and stable levels of economic growth, it is necessary to maintain a stable and well-functioning banking system, which is the main intermediary in the CEE countries. The CEE countries managed to cope with the worsened economic conditions in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, but got out from it better prepared for the next crises. The banking sector, with its stricter regulations and improved efficiency, remains a key element in the resilience of the economies to the crises.

Доходът на България в периода на европеизация на българската икономика

Author(s): Diana Genkova / Language(s): Bulgarian

This monography examines the monetary aspect of the economic outputs at a theoretical and empirical level. In economic theory, this aspect usually is presented by the concept of income. Here, income is analyzed from the standpoint of the macroeconomic of the modern national economy. The latter still plays a key role in regulating economic processes even in the conditions of globalization and regional economic integration. This is the main thesis of the theoretical and empirical analysis, the result of which are presented in three chapters and a conclusion. Today, the income of the national economy is measured at several stages in order to cover the new forms and characteristics of economic functioning that result from globalization and the practices of regional economic integration, in particular that within the EU. According to the methodology of the System of National Accounts (the European System of Accounts), several interconnected macroeconomic indicators are calculated, which cover the stages in question. More specifically, the stage of income generation (primary income or gross value added, measured by GDP), the stage of income redistribution on a remunerative basis among the owners of primary production factors (measured by national income, NI), and the stage of income redistribution on a gratuitous basis (measured by national disposable income, NDI). The three circles of national economy’s income distribution determine different aspects of countries’ economic potential. Chapters 1 and 2 are devoted to clarify these questions in theoretical and empirical terms. In chapter 1, the emphasis is on the content of the indicators and the methods for their calculation. To explain the processes that set the background of income generation, the problem of the measurement of economy and its delineation from non-economic processes and activities of society is under discussion too. In chapter 2, the peculiarities of income generation and redistribution of the EU countries that arise from the relatively higher stage of the integration reached by the European Union nowadays, are presented. Dependencies along this line arise through the institutionalization of the EU budget. Both – the side of the revenues and that of expenditures – exercise influence on the parameters of income of the EU’s member states, and these problems are analyzed thoroughly. In chapter 3, an empirical study on the Bulgarian economy for the period 2000 – 2020 is presented, by examining the characteristics of national income commented in previous chapters. The period under discussion is very important for Bulgaria, because this is the time of preparation of the country for the EU membership and its adhesion to the European Union. During this period, our country had to adapt its political and administrative model and the regimen of its economic functioning to the EU standards. Whether that adaptation was successful – in this monography we mainly seek to answer the question of the economic effects of the restructuring processes. In addition, the empirical analysis was inclined to demonstrate how and why, at the modern stage, GDP cannot measure all the prerequisites of the socio-economic progress of the countries (societies), with highly open national economies. In the conclusion, reference is made to the field of application of economic aggregates for analytical purposes, especially, the way in which they can be used in the decision-making process and socio-economic policy-making is discussed.

Cadrilaterul. Ideologie cominternistă şi iredentism bulgar, 1919-1940

Author(s): Dan Cătănuş / Language(s): Romanian

The volume is the result of a research theme initiated in 1999 within the N.I.S.T. and which focused on the situation of the Cadrilater (Southern Dobruja) in the interwar period from the perspective of the interference of communist-type activities in the Balkans, carried under cominternist tutelage and of Bulgarian irredentism. Several research directions were pursued: the activity of the Internal Dobrujan Revolutionary Organisation ( V.D.R.O.); the activity of the Dobrujan Revolutionary Organisation (D.R.O.), a communist-type organization, detached from the V.D.R.O. in 1925 and who acted mainly in the Southern Dobruja under the guidance, at least theoretically, of the Romanian Communist Party (R.C.P.) and the Comintern; the attitude of the R.C.P. towards the national problem, with emphasis on the situation of Southern Dobruja, as well as the activity of the regional R.C.P. in Dobruja; the involvement of the Communist International in the Balkans and its relationship with the R.C.P. and the U.S.S.R.'s attitude in this regard. The presented documents outline both Bulgarian and Romanian theses on Dobruja and especially its southern part, the reader having the necessary elements for forming his own opinion.

Între Beijing și Moscova. România și conflictul sovieto-chinez, vol. I (1957-1965)

Author(s): Dan Cătănuş / Language(s): Romanian

The present volume aims to highlight, through some documents from the archive of the Central Committee of Romanian Communist Party - which we consider essential -, the evolution of communist Romania from an unconditional alignment with Moscow's decisions to a policy on its own. In this evolution, the emergence of major divergences between China and the USSR provided the favorable historical context for the Romanian communists, who knew how to skillfully use the conflict between the two major parties of the communist world, in order to make its own voice heard.
