Između kritičke historiografije i ideološkog revizionizma

Author(s): Husnija Kamberović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

The author reflects upon the different models of historical revision used in post-Yugoslav countries (both contemporary and immediately postwar). He observes that in every post- Yugoslav country, the most common revision concerns events from the period when they all belonged to one state or, in other words, from twentieth-century Yugoslav History. Within these revisions, the most common theme is the Second World War.

Some Lessons of Collective Protests in Central European Post-Communist Countries: Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and East Germany between 1989-1993

Author(s): Máté Szabó / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

When thinking about the traditions and the cultural heritage of contemporary protest movements, it is worth noting that East Central European history in the twentieth century has not been very rich in manifestations of political protest (Rotschild, 1989: 147-191; Schöpflin, 1993: 127-224). Despite recurrent political upheavals, revolutions, wars, and so on, protest as understood in the present paper – that is, public mobilization of support for specific demands - is not very widespread in the countries of the region.

Educaţia istorică între discursul politic şi identitar în Republica Moldova

Author(s): Sergiu Musteaţă / Language(s): Romanian

The work is the result of the project Geschichtslehrbücher zwischen politischer Propaganda, nationalistischen Konstruktionen und Wissenschaft. Untersuchungen zur Entwicklung des Schulfaches Geschichte in den posttotalitären Staaten Südosteuropas am Beispiel der Republik Moldau, der Ukraine und Rumänien started in 2005 and completed in 2008, implemented in partnership with „Georg Eckert” Institute for International Analysis of Textbooks and due to the financial support of „Gerda Henkel” Foundation, Germany.The work comprises the following parts: introduction, the role of history in society development, teaching history in the Republic of Moldova – between ideology and propaganda, conclusions and recommendations, sources and bibliography, summary in English and index of names, the main text being enriched with tables, annexes, and pictures.In Chapter I, The Role of History in Society Development, the author approaches several aspects regarding history as science, the relations between history and politics, the right of every citizen for access to authentic history, relations between history education and national identity, the role and importance of history in the system of education, the place of history curriculum in the national system of education and the importance of the school textbook in achievement of the educational objectives.In Chapter II, History Teaching in the Republic of Moldova: Between ideology and political propaganda, the following issues are discussed: the policy of the Communist Party in the Soviet times – pollution of history science, from the national idea to the national curriculum (1988/89-2001), development and publishing of the school history textbooks (1991-2009), history between reform and counter-reform (2001-2009) and history teaching in Transnistria separatist region.The author comes with the list of conclusions and recommendations. In the Republic of Moldova there is no unity and continuity in history teaching. Frequent interventions in history teaching have not allowed forming qualitative history education in citizens. For reconciliation in history teaching and historical content in the Republic of Moldova, some specific steps are to be taken in the following fields: politics, finance, and administration; publishing, curriculum design, and textbook development, as well as printing and dissemination of textbooks. Thus, the author recommends the Government of the Republic of Moldova: to carry out a series of actions through which they will ensure that education is a national priority; to provide a legal and legislative background for qualitative education; to develop mechanisms of public debates on educational policies; to bring contribution to the development of national publishing industry based on the principles of competition; to support research referring to textbook development and assessment; to promote and facilitate exchange of information regarding research in the field of curriculum and educational materials; to develop partnerships among governmental and non-governmental institutions expressed in partnership agreements, as well as agreements between two or more parties in the field of educational policies; to establish forms of regional cooperation in the field of history teaching in order to educate young generations for better understanding between neighbors; to promote mutual understanding among nations that would help understand everybody and fight prejudice and mutual outcast; to facilitate and encourage contacts among professional associations of historians and teachers at both the national and international level in order to allow exchange of experience, ideas, and suggestions on curricula, textbooks, teaching methods, and research in history.

Moldova on the Way to Democracy and Stability. From the Post-Soviet Space towards the World of Democratic Values

Author(s): Igor Munteanu,Romaniţa Berghia-Revenco,Iulian Chifu,Iulian Fruntașu,Nicolae Chirtoacă,Valeriu Prohniţchi,Dan Dungaciu,Ion Naval,Radu Gorincioi / Language(s): English

Since the disintegration of the USSR in 1991, Republic of Moldova has made clear progress towards the consolidation of its state, of its military and civil institutions, making itself notable on the geopolitical map of Europe. However, Moldova seems to be still scarcely present on the mental maps of the decision-makers from the West. Unlike the Baltic nations, that embedded themselves into the mind of the European public as a cohesive group of free nations, distinct from their poorer neighbors (Belarussians, Russians or Ukrainians, whit their more violent history after the disintegration of the Soviet Union), Moldova was approached with prudence if not completely neglected so that when important EU officials have remembered, after 2003, about the post-soviet origins of this republic, the Chisinau diplomacy felt offended. // The book provides a conceptual and analytic foundation for addressing the agenda of the security sector reform in Moldova. Given the tremendous tasks that have challenged Moldova in the last decade we all expect that the energy and commitment of its political, economic and cultural elites will be at least equivalent to it. By “anatomizing”, these crisis-prone issues have invited us to reflect upon their complex interdependence, as well as towards effective policies in Moldova.

Виклики національного самовизначення

Author(s): Maksym Rozumnyi / Language(s): Ukrainian

National self-determination is interpreted as a complex process of selforganization of society, which follows the path of modernization. This process includes the nationalization of the collective consciousness, democratization of the political life and integration into existing international relations and communications. Each of these tasks requires innovative approach of the national leaders and elites, their good will and unique intelligent solutions. Some of these ideas and decisions are offered by the author for a public debate and close examination. The book is based on the author’s publications in the media and academic magazines. The book is addressed to the active citizens and fellow researchers in the field of humanities and social sciences.

Public Dialog in Belarus: from Grass-Roots Democracy to Civic Participation

Author(s): Uladzimir Matskevich / Language(s): English

The book continues the “Belarus for Beginners” series and deals with the problem of organizing political dialog in Belarus. The book studies successively a number of questions which lie in the foundation of this problem: from the differentiation of the notions “people” and “society” — to the specificity of public communication and dialog organization principles. Much attention is given to the analysis of the Belarusan forms and precedents of the solution of this problem. As an annex to this book, there is Olga Smolyanko’s analytical material on the legal regulation of the activity of public advisory councils in Belarus. The book is aimed at setting a reflective and reasonable attitude to the organization of public dialog in Belarus, suggesting notions, categories, and schemes for an activity attitude to this process. The book is intended for public, cultural, and political figures, as well as everybody who is interested in the adequate understanding of the processes that take place in Belarusan society.
