Към въпроса за система за оценяване на научните изследвания във висши училища и научни институции в България

Author(s): Lilyana Valcheva,Diana Kjurkchieva,Alexander Nikolov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2018

The article is dedicated to the problems of objective observation and accurate assessment of the research and artistic activity carried out by the universities and scientific organizations in Bulgaria. Based on an analysis of the current system, the basic requirements for achieving a qualitatively new approach based on the following objectives are formulated: the formation of a policy in the field of research, which contributes to the achievement of qualitative and competitive results, according to the National Development Strategy research and European framework programs; socio-economic impact of the results and their benefits; the possibility of creating new generation scientists; development of scientific institutions as equal partners in the European and world scientific space. This article is based on a number of official documents whose list is given in the Appendix. A system of objective and accurate evaluation of the research and artistic activity with a set of indicators and weights for obtaining the estimation, as well as a methodology for its implementation, has been proposed. This system aims to simplify the evaluation procedure and to make it transparent.

Развитие на толерантност чрез спорт

Author(s): Tatiana Iancheva,Ina Vladova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2019

The article focuses on the issue of the emerging tendency of a lack of tolerance that often leads to aggression. The authors conducted a study with students from the National Sports Academy – Sofia (Bulgaria) on attitudes to work in a multicultural environment. The results show that the majority of students have a positive attitude towards working with ethnic minority students. Discussed is the possibility for developing tolerance in children through sport. Sports pedagogic specialists should be able to identify in a timely manner the behavior of pupils during sport and other activities and to reveal the reasons that lead to different behavioral responses.

POUR UNE APPROCHE INTERDISCIPLINAIRE DE L’ETUDE DES « TECHNOLOGIES MILITANTES » : L’EXEMPLE DES TRACTS DU MOUVEMENT « ANTI-CPE » DE 2006

Author(s): Paolo Stuppia / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

As it a neglected boundary object of the scientific fields, the leaflet is most often relegated to a simple tool for illustrating political struggles, overlooking the viewpoint of its materiality, of its manufacturing and dissemination, and the multiplicity of its uses. Based on a PhD dissertation of 2014 about the leaflets of a french student protest, the one called “against-CPE” of 2006, the aim of this article is showing how an interdisciplinary approach can help to build a methodology to collect, define and analyze the multiple facets of this still relatively unknown “activist technology”.

LA CREATION D’UN RESEAU SCIENTIFIQUE POUR DEVELOPPER L’INTERDISCIPLINARITE: L’EXEMPLE DU RESEAU "EVALUATION FORMATION EMPLOI"

Author(s): Catherine Béduwé,Sandrine Croity-Belz,Catherine Soldano / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

This contribution is a feedback on the creation of a network of researchers from various disciplines in the social sciences (Economics, Sociology, Social Psychology and Education Sciences). The object of research is that of the relations between training and employment and the evaluation of these relations by public policies. It is common to the disciplines but each apprehends it in a specific way. It has evolved as scientific exchanges and mutual knowledge progressed. This requires researchers to be involved sustainably in a collective and specific work, which is not easy to value. If so, it leads to an interdisciplinary production that brings innovation and knowledge.

« DEUX OU TROIS CHOSES QUE JE SAIS D'ELLE ». REFLEXIONS SUR L'INTERDISCIPLINARITE DANS L'ETUDE DE LA GLOBALISATION EDUCATIVE : L'EXEMPLE DE LA RECEPTION D'UN PALMARES INTERNATIONAL

Author(s): Xavier Pons / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

This article provides a reflexion on how interdisciplinarity can help thinking current governance changes in education. On the basis of a particular case – the reception in the French policy debate of an international ranking much commented (the Pisa Survey from the OECD) – and thanks to a research device implemented during nine years through two different research studies, it highlights three major contributions of interdisciplinarity: the struggle against simplifying thoughts, the move of the researcher’s focus and the testing of new hypotheses.

QUAND L’INTERDISCIPLINARITE S’IMPOSE : CONTOURNEMENT D’UN REFUS DE TERRAIN PAR LA PROSOPOGRAPHIE

Author(s): Marion Demonteil / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

This paper addresses the practical modalities of entry into interdisciplinarity. Starting from a specific case of rejection from the field, it shows how the use of the historical discipline’s tools shapes the construction of a sociological research object. Following a rejection from the field, this research had to get historical distance, which lead our study from a questioning on the effects of new public management to a socio-history of administrative control at the crossroads of history and the sociology of action. The exploratory possibilities offered by prosopography, and more specifically by optimal matching, are illustrated from the material of a survey devoted to the general inspectors of the French ministry of Culture between the 1960s and today.

ÉTUDE DES CRISES POLITIQUES INTERNATIONALES ET INTERDISCIPLINARITE : LE CAS DU 11 SEPTEMBRE 2001

Author(s): Thomas Meszaros,Clément Morier / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

This study aims to work the concept of “political crisis” using interdisciplinary tools. It is based on a case study, the crisis of the September 11 attacks, analyzed according to two complementary approaches. First, the breakdown of the sequences of this crisis makes it possible to identify the development of the intensity of the phenomenon over time, and its phases, in order to observe the behavior of the different types of actors involved in the crisis. Then, we have to study the dynamic “morphology” that shapes the deployment of the crisis, from the point of view of the aggressor but also from the target, using René Thom’s Catastrophe Theory. This accounts for the internal functioning of these actors, and also, shows crisis management opportunities for the target of these attacks. The purpose of this work is to put forward the relevance of interdisciplinarity to think political crises, and to put interdisciplinarity into practice in order to improve the knowledge of a phenomenon in a specific field (political crisis), by studying with another one.

COMMUNAUTES EPISTEMIQUES ET INTERDISCIPLINARITE : LA GESTION DES CRISES ASSOCIEES AUX ALEAS TELLURIQUES, ENTRE SCIENCES DE LA TERRE ET SCIENCES POLITIQUES

Author(s): Maud H. Devès,Thomas Ribémont / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

In an interdisciplinary perspective, between earth sciences and political sciences the present article shows that the concept of epistemic communities, frequently used by political scientists specializing in the sociology of public policy, says very little about the inner workings of the scientific field. This article shows that the concept of epistemic community tends to mask the complexity of the situation of expertise to highlight this point, we chose to study three cases of crisis management associated with the same type of hazard, of volcanic origin, which reveal the difficulties related to various levels of interdisciplinarity. The first crisis studied here is related to the eruption of La Soufrière volcano on Guadeloupe in 1976. This event gives a picture of various epistemological positions within the same discipline, i.e. the earth sciences of the Earth, and illustrates their possible consequences in the public sphere. The second crisis is related to the eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat (1995 and ongoing). Although the experts are again drawn from the earth sciences, they represent different specialities. We find that the experts knew how to make use of probabilistic tools to overcome the difficulties related to uncertainties inherent in the crisis and, beyond that, arising from the incompleteness of their knowledge. Lastly, we discuss the crisis related to the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull in 2010. In this last case, the composite nature of the hazard required us to call upon experts from two different disciplines: the earth sciences and atmospheric sciences. Specialization appears here as a factor of vulnerability. Indeed, the crisis confronts the experts with a mismatch between their approaches and makes it difficult to develop an opinion that fully benefits from their different types of expertise.

AU CŒUR DE L'INTERDISCIPLINARITE : LA THEORIE DU DISCOURS APPLIQUEE EN SCIENCE POLITIQUE

Author(s): Ioana-Cristina Rus,Sergiu Mişcoiu / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the interdisciplinary character of the third generation of discourse theory, as well as its capacity to open new perspectives in the study of political phenomena. To this end, we will first theoretically reference the stakes of interdisciplinarity in connection with the emergence of discourse theory as a forward-looking approach in the humanities and social sciences. Secondly, we will look into the five premises of discourse theory, which will be assessed as intellectual products of an essentially interdisciplinary process which consists of bringing together and mutualizing research strategies which belong to various scientific fields (sociology, linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, political science, psychoanalysis). Thirdly, we will explore the merits and limits of the use of discourse theory as a theoretical framework and an explanatory tool in the analysis of political phenomena.

L’EVENEMENT DISCURSIF FONDATEUR DE LA TROISIEME REPULIQUE

Author(s): Aude Dontenwille-Gerbaud / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

Our searches are an examination and a reevaluation of the founding speeches of the French Third Republic (1870-1882), the oral impact of which is too often neglected. Their aim to show that the interaction between the grassroots audience and the main leaders of the Republic represents a way of solving the conceptual difficulties of that period. Our searches develop the concept of discursive event and questions the traditional concepts of production condition, communication situation and context. In the resolutely interdisciplinary approach from the « analyse du discours », the historian enters into dialogue with the sciences of language and the political science.

LES LIMITES DE L’INJONCTION INTERDISCIPLINAIRE

Author(s): Philippe Le Prestre / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

The main purpose of this contribution is to reflect on the interdisciplinarity mantra. To that end, it first identifies the links between the initial motivations and the practice of interdisciplinary research, proceeds with an examination of the challenges that various types of interdisciplinary collaboration present, before concluding with a few remarks on the potential perverse effects of the interdisciplinarity injunction. Indeed, this approach must go beyond problem resolution and encompass a theoretical ambition as well. To that end, it must rest on strong disciplines which the need for an interdisciplinary perspective will nevertheless transform. Being defined less by its results that by a process, interdisciplinarity is only one of various research strategies rather than an end in itself.

APPLYING THE LOYAL OPPOSITION TRADITION TO FOREIGN POLICY: A U.S.-UKRAINE CASE STUDY (PART II)

Author(s): Isaiah Winters / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

This two-part research project analyzes U.S. foreign policy during the Ukraine Crisis from the viewpoint of loyalty to democracy. By applying the standards expected of loyal opposition parties to the U.S., the foreign policy approach taken is shown to have been disloyal to Ukraine’s fragile democracy, as it contributed to an undemocratic transition of power in the form of a coup d'état. Ultimately, the failure of the U.S. to remain loyal to Ukraine’s democratic process (the way a “loyal opposition state” would have) is explained by the Obama administration’s liberal imperialist approach to foreign policy, whose first loyalty was to U.S. interests, not Ukrainian political sovereignty.

AN ATTEMPT AT DIPLOMACY: HOW THE PURSUIT OF A NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN AFFECTED THE UNITED STATES-ISRAEL RELATIONS

Author(s): Anda Ghilescu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

This article follows the United States’ pursuit of a comprehensive agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, by putting it in the context of U.S. – Israel relations. Firstly, it offers an overview of the highly contextual relations between Israel and Iran, in order to understand the historical evolution of their present-day rivalry. Secondly, it observes the Iranian regime under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the aftermath of George W. Bush’s foreign policy actions, and the increased international focus on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Finally, the focus shifts from President Bush to President Obama and how his foreign policy priorities in the Middle East, particularly the dialogue with Iran, affected the relations with the Israeli government the closer the negotiators got to achieving a final nuclear agreement. This paper seeks to emphasize the interdependent character of the Iran-Israel-U.S. dynamics through the perspective of one of the most pressing regional and international concerns: Iran’s nuclear program.

DER KOMMUNISTISCHE WIDERSTAND IN RUMÄNIEN: EIN EINBLICK IN DIE GEDÄCHTNISPOLITISCHE AUSEINANDERSETZUNG

Author(s): Antonela Gyöngy / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2018

The present paper discusses the communist resistance in Romania from the perspective of memory politics. During the communist period, this topos was clearly shaped by memory politics and therefore directly related to the domestic and foreign policy turning points. By addressing the formation context of the Communist Party in Romania as well as the subsequent political and scientific discourses, the question is raised: why this topos has stuck to the rigid narratives during and after communism.

DER TRANSFORMATIONSPROZESS RUMÄNIENS UND SEINE HINDERNISSE ZUR DEMOKRATIE

Author(s): Roxana Alice Stoenescu / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2018

This article discusses the difficulties of Romania's transformation and democratisation process. Despite the "official" change of system, corruption, social inequality, clan structural organisation and nepotism prevail in Romania. Without democratic values having provided the decisive impetus for the transformation of society, the completion of the system change didn´t take place, because there was no basis for a democratic change of values. The main thesis are that if the consciousness of the broad masses, despite the formal democratisation process did not change fundamentally, changing towards a democratic identity remains rather a utopian goal.

POLITICAL EVOLUTION AND INVOLUTION IN HUNGARY AFTER THE ACCESSION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Author(s): Ovidiu Vaida / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

After the fall of comunism, Hungary was one of the leading country in Central and Eastern Europe to pursue democracy and market economy. In short time, it was praised for its achievement in those areas, and soon Hungary was invited to join NATO, and starting with 2004, the EU. Yet, after 2010, some transformation took place in the political arena, and as a result, the quality of democracy started to decrease and in just few years, Hungary was the main example for illiberal democracy in this area. The current text aims to analise the changes that occurred in Hungary, to what extent democracy is jeopardised and what are the explanations for the illiberal turn.
