In this research paper will be given empirical analysis about political and legal changes after the fall of communism in the Western Balkans with a separate emphasis on the process of disintegration of former Yugoslavia and the creation of an independent state of Macedonia. Important place in this paper occupy the challenges facing society in the period of prolonged transition in Macedonia, focusing on the policy process in conformity with multiethnic society model of Arend Lijphart models of democracy. This scientific research will reflect the advancement analysis about events and changes in socio-legal and economic future of the societies that abandoned communism. Also in this paper the political culture is addressed which was largely conditioned by the legacy of authoritarian political culture and the creation of a democratic political culture, emphasizing its role in the creation of new actors in the policymaking process.

Alexandru Muşina attempts perhaps a rather ambitious project in creating a mélange of Gothic story, campus novel and post-communist criticism regarding the Communist sucking of the people’s blood. His reclaiming of the national myth of Dracula – imposed on Romania by Bram Stoker – is not to be discarded either as an avenue of interpretation. The most successful of approaches would investigate the novel as an avatar of campus fiction. While the novel is inscribed in this tradition, it also varies substantially in the way the professors are depicted and perceived. The dismissive attitude towards the merits of professors - perpetuated by society at large, the state and its institutions in particular - is opposed by the respect shown to teachers during the Communist regime, with the saying "the professor is king" as particularly salient. The post-communist situation encourages the creation of a corporate model for academia, following trends in research that would bring funds – with the proposed creation of a center for the study of vampires. In addition, the political nature of departments, the administrative duties and the conference circuit all make their dutiful appearance within the pages of the novel.

Political power and human daily life are the themes of the last novel written by Mihai Sin, it was published few days after the author's death. The book focuses on the boundaries between the communist regime and its perfidious and cynical manner to transform people. Even if the action is situated in the post-communist period, the characters seem to be people unable to define their lives, they do not know for sure who they are and what do they have to do. The book turns out to be a mix between fiction and essays on harsh social themes. The author's attitude is sharp and his novel which does not lack aesthetic achievements, points out to be a complex work that provides us a challenging image of post-Decembrist Romanian society.

Literature and its history don’t evolve at the same speed some would say. So when literature passed through its post-modernist phase, it took literary history some time to adjust to the new realities of the literary world. After all, history is not supposed to present reality as it happens, but rather to analyze things that have already happened. How closer to the present should history, literary or otherwise, come and see, it has been the object of debate for many centuries now. But regardless of that debate, we cannot contest that literary history follows roughly the same path as its object, literature. The currents, changes, social and political pressures that literature feels, literary history will feel too, some even more acutely than its object. It’s no wonder then, that post-modernist literary history knows some major changes. Just like literature redefined itself and its forms, literary history redefined not only what it will study but also what will constitute literary history. This study reflects the way the world of literary history changed after post-modernism, but also how the world of Romanian literary history changed to respond to a dual push: the world’s new trends as well as the social, political and cultural pressures of a post-communist society.

The paper actualizes the question of interpretation of religious and social changes in the period of Communism, which has become essential for the understanding of current social processes. This interpretation is based on differences in the social and religious development of Slovenia and Hungary on the one hand, and Croatia on the other. The Slovenian and Hungarian examples are particularly relevant because in these countries the process of de-Christianization has quite clearly (in an empirically recognizable way) ended in 1978. Such a course of events is explained by the Hungarian sociologist Miklos Tomka through the process of institutional anomy and concepts of a strong and weak society, and not the concepts of modernization, structural differentiation and secularization. Thus in the following period of development (after 1978) the revitalization of religion is seen as the key point of the regeneration of society.

This paper examines, from the perspective of the local inhabitants, the consequences of the landscape transformation associated with the construction of the Gabčíkovo hydroelectric power plant and with the diversion of the Danube River. There was embedded a static water reservoir and a drainage unit of a rigid shape into the constantly changing, mosaic-like landscape of the former delta of the river on the Rye Island. Its story is about the headway of the central power and of the control over the local worlds. The reservoir and the outlet channel rise as a kind of boundary across the landscape, differentiating the adjacent municipalities according to what actually separates whom from something on its one side or the other. The tear has been suffered not only in the physical sense but the river´s shape has also torn in two: in the Old Danube and the New Danube. In consequence of artificial interventions, raptures emerged in the natural environment too, the formerly coherent, interconnected habitats have separated from each other, water dynamics has changed, and it brought profound consequences. This study describes the change of landscape and nature, based on observations of the local inhabitants.
