Protests, plots and proxies

Author(s): Kenneth Morrison / Language(s): English Issue: 03+04 (27)/2017

The political developments which have unfolded in Montenegro over the last 18 months could have come straight out of a Hollywood script. The dynamics of which are made up of a sequence of protests, political manoeuvring, allegations of a Russian-backed assassination plot and a political elite determined to hang on to power. All the while, this tiny Balkan state is trying to maintain its course towards NATO and the European Union.

Author(s): Edin Šarčević / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 28/2017

Uz objašnjenje, da je znao za odluku Internacionalnog suda o nedostajućoj legitimaciji advokata Softića još u maju prošle godine, citiran je u elektronskim medijima stav Bakira Izetbegovića: “Ostavku neću podnijeti jer mislim da činim ono za šta me moj narod i izabrao”. Dakle: činim ono za šta me je moj narod izabrao!

TITO IN JAZZ

Author(s): Slobodan Tišma / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 420/2002

Izbezumljen, znezveren, Mislim, pisanje, piskaranje će me spasiti, pružiti još neko zadovoljstvo. Ale nema više Erosa - dečko je mrtav, dehidrirao je u pustinji.

NA VEČERI S TITOM

Author(s): Raša Popov / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 420/2002

Donesu mi u državnu radio-stanicu, gde sam tada figurirao kao zamenik glavnog urednika pretponoćnog programa, pozivnicu sa presovanim žigom. Iz maršalata je. Od tvrđeg je belog kartona. Poziva me na večeru, Tito.

TITO - TUNEL BEZ SVETLA?

Čak ni ptice nisu bile izuzetak kada je umro veliki komunistički lider Kim II Sung; jedna lasta je uletela u čitaonicu škole grada Nampo i plakala pet minuta, a potom se molila ispred statue velikog vođe.

Lokalni izbori u BiH 2008. – Deja vu ili nova prilika za afirmaciju lokalne uprave i samouprave u Bosni i Hercegovini

Author(s): Suad Arnautović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 26/2008

Za nama su još jedni izbori u Bosni i Hercegovini i to Lokalni izbori koji su održani 5. oktobra 2008. godine. U ovom kratkom osvrtu ukazat ćemo na neke osnovne činjenice o karakteru ovih izbora, ali i podsjetiti na temeljne standarde koji bi trebalo da se ispune ako želimo da izbori u BiH imaju epitet demokratskih, odnosno slobodnih i fer izbora. Pri tome je neizbježno pitanje da li su ovi izbori već viđeno ili zaista predstavljaju novu priliku za daljnju afirmaciju lokalne uprave i samouprave u našoj državi.

Oxford on the Vistula

Author(s): Jo Harper / Language(s): English Issue: 05 (28)/2017

There seems to be a widely held view that the bout of illiberalism that has spread across Central and Eastern Europe since the economic crash of 2009 came out of nowhere, much like its later cousins Trump and Brexit. And if one were to read nothing but the Anglo-American press coverage of the rise of the current governing Law and Justice (PiS) in Poland, this might appear to be the case. Yet, if one delves into the social fabric of Poland’s post-1989 transition one will see that PiS has always been there, in spirit if not in office.

Polityki publiczne jako zorganizowane działania w sferze publicznej

Author(s): Mariusz Kwiatkowski,Arkadiusz Karwacki,Kaja Gadowska,Marek Rymsza / Language(s): Polish Issue: 7/2016

The four articles published below are the results of a thematic session entitled "Towards Public Sociology" devoted to the memory of Professor Edmund WnukLipinski, who died in 2015, which we organized together at the Sixteenth Polish Sociological Congress of the Polish Sociological Association (Gdansk, 14-17 September 2016). The session was very popular; A total of 20 papers were presented in three consecutive editions. A lively discussion of these speeches confirmed our intuition that the sociology of the public sphere as a conceptual proposal has considerable potential for exploration and explanation of the meanders of Polish transformation.

Rreshtimi në Bllokun Antifashist - alternativa e perspektivës për shqiptarët në vitet e Luftës së Dytë Botërore

Author(s): Marenglen Verli / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 03-04/2016

Historikisht, raportet armiqësore midis iliro-arbërve dhe serbëve (më pas shqiptarëve) zënë fill nga shek. VII e në vijim, kur trevat e të parëve u sulmuan, u grabitën u pushtuan, robëruan dhe u sunduan prej të dytëve për shumë shekuj. I rëndë qe veçanërisht sundimi gati 150-vjeçar në shek. x n -x m , që kulmoi me Carin e Madh Stefan Dushanin, në mesin e shek.Xm. Armiqësia do të rigjallërohej pas rënies së Ballkanit nën sundimin e Perandorisë Osmane, veçanërisht kur ndodhi konvertimi i shqiptarëve në Islam, masivisht pas shek. XVII dhe kur u forcuan nacionalizmat ndërballkanikë në shek.XIX. Ndërkohë projektet e konfrontimit etnik dhe fetar, shkëputja dhe aneksimi nga Serbia i viseve shqiptare, posaçërisht nga viti 1878 dhe spastrimi etnik i sanxhakut të Nishit në vitet 1877-1878 (100 - 200 mijë shqiptarë), i acaruan më tej marrëdhëniet shqiptaro - serbe. Konfrontimi me serbët i muhaxhirëve shqiptarë në Kosovë e më gjerë, por edhe i çerkezëve etj., të dëbuar pas Luftës së Krimesë më 1855-1856, ishin pasoja të acarimit më tej të raportit serbo-shqiptar. Gjithsesi kulmi i përplasjes midis të dy palëve do të vinte në rrjedhën e Luftës Ballkanike e më pas (vjeshtë 1912- deri në vitin 1915).

Ukletost nacionalizma

Author(s): Tatjana Gromača / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 22/2017

Napustiti svoj dom – nije li to nešto najgore na što se može osuditi ljude, osuditi ih često gotovo nijemo – težinom svog prezira i mržnje natjerati drugoga da prezren, obezvrijeđen i ojađen, duše pune tuge i neisplakanog plača, očiju staklenih i odsutnih, spakira svoje kofere, da se oprosti od svojih zidova i prozora, od ormara, stola i stolice, da ostavi posuđe, posteljinu, ručnike, sve one ladice prepune papira i kojekakvih zveckavih sitnica tko zna kome – ormariće sa donjim rubljem, sa intimnim pismima, sa prstenjem i ogrlicama...

Europska kriza

Author(s): Michael Walzer / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 22/2017

Današnja kriza u Europi najdramatičnije i najbolnije se osjeća zbog desetka tisuća izbjeglica. Njima je nužno potrebna pomoć, a mnogi će od njih umrijeti ako se njihove potrebe ne uvide i zadovolje. Međutim, ovo je također kriza europskih naroda, zbog toga što oni sada moraju uvidjeti i zadovoljiti te potrebe, a ako u tome ne uspiju, utrnut će ideja Europe.

Central Asia and water. No time left for squabbles

Author(s): Peter Leonard / Language(s): English Issue: 06 (29)/2017

A combination of rapid population growth and climate change,which some believe may lead to the vanishing of much of the region’s river-feeding glaciers within the next half century, is going to pose the greatest challenge Central Asia has ever confronted in its history.

Drogi, którymi podążamy. Odsłona druga i ostatnia

Author(s): Maria Marczewska-Rytko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2009

Znowu wchodzę w deszcz, żółte liście, wspomnienia. Przed laty na prośbę Adama Marszałka przygotowałam tekst do książki dla Profesora Czesława Mojsiewicza (Cz. Mojsiewicz, Od polityki do politologii, Wydawnictwo Adam Marszałek, Toruń 2004, s. 85-88). Teraz po śmierci Profesora zostałam poproszona przez doktoranta Wydziału Politologii mgra Marcina Pomarańskiego o zgodę na przedruk tamtego tekstu. Uznałam, że kilka słów o Profesorze powinno się pojawić, niemniej w nieco zmodyfikowanej formie w porównaniu z pierwowzorem. Wówczas pisałam dla człowieka żyjącego, teraz piszę o człowieku, który odszedł. Wtedy stanęłam przed pytaniem: czy potrafię? Czy potrafię wznieść się ponad doświadczenia, które stały się moim udziałem, czy potrafię z dystansem spojrzeć na poczucie bezradności, bólu, zawodu, a jednocześnie radości z pokonania zewnętrznych przeszkód, które stały się moim udziałem. Jednocześnie pomyślałam, że jest to okazja, by powiedzieć „dziękuję” człowiekowi, który pomógł mi w trudnych chwilach mojego życia, przywrócił wiarę w rugiego człowieka.
