Nemzetiségek Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg megyében, különös tekintettel a romákra

Author(s): Ferenc Tar,Béla Hajnal / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2014

The present paper details the change in the composition of nationalities in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county on the basis of latest population censuses. The authors give a short historical background that formed the present composition of nationalities of the county. It was a must to mention problems of data registrations, as in Hungary declaration of nationality belonging is voluntary. Roma population of the county has been devoted a separate, detailed section. In Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county Romas represent the highest proportion within the county just like within the country. Population census data of 2001 and 2011 show significant difference in regard to their number, which is partly due to the high number of natural increase, and to their attitude in the population censuses. The change in Roma population number was examined at micro-regional and settlement level, and comparison has been made to other surveys based on estimation.

Etnikai folyamatok Magyarországon az ezredforduló után

Author(s): Patrik Tátrai / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2014

The current paper studies the changes in the ethnic structure of post-socialist Hungary. Based on the data of the census 2011, it turned out, contrary to the expectations, that the number of the non-Hungarian population significantly increased between 2001 and 2011 and so did the population that declared no ethnicity or refused to answer. Behind this phenomenon one can identify several reasons of which the methodological changes and the role of migration and of subjective factors should be highlighted. As for the methodology, double/multiple identification in three/four ethnic categories was allowed in the last two censuses, which resulted in the growing number of respondents who declare both Hungarian and minority ethnicity. Meanwhile, the arrival of mainly economic migrants from Romania, Ukraine and Serbia has changed the ethnic landscape, particularly in the Central Region. A new transnational form of migration, observed at the Hungarian–Slovakian and Hungarian–Romanian border zones, is the cross-border suburbanization. Since the above-mentioned factors do not explain all the changes, the role of the subjective factors should be researched, too. The present paper reveals that the self-identification of some of the minorities is related to symbolic ethnicity, thus the results of the census cannot be interpreted in the frame of the assimilation discourse.

Author(s): András Morauszki,Z. Attila Papp / Language(s): English Issue: 18/2015

According to the 2011 Act on the Rights of Nationalities of Hungary, language rights and the right to establish minority self-governments depend on the number or proportion of persons belonging to a minority.

Author(s): Redžep Škrijelj / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 43-44/2009

Poštovani prijatelji, Uvaženi predsjedavajući profesore Rastoder, imam posebnu čast i zadovoljstvo da vas mogu poselamiti i pozdraviti u ime članstva i rukovodstva Udruženja građana porijeklom iz Sandžaka u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine sa sjedištem u Sarajevu i u ime predsjednika Udruženja, uvaženog profesora, doktora Redžepa Dizdarevića.

LAKO MI JE ZA TEBE

Author(s): Mirsad Rastoder / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 43-44/2009

Uvažavajući sve što je ovdje rečeno o događajima, nepravdama i traumama Bošnjaka u protekle dvije decenije, dozvolite da skrenem pažnju na ono što bi valjalo činiti za naše i dobro države prema kojoj smo, do naivnosti daražljivi. I neka smo! jer vjerujem da je Crna Gora naša koliko nas ima i koliko smo kadri da sopstveni identitet, savremenim izrazom glačamo za otmeni ponos naroda i respekt u očima drugih. Za sve to, u eri dinamičnih promjena, nema vremena za jadanje. Zapise, pamćenje i kvalitetnu produkciju svakako ali ne samo u kućnoj radinosti kao do sada. Neophodne su nam: bošnjačke institucije, veće učešće u strukturi državnog sistema i kontinuirana – relevantna medijska prezentacija.

POLAGANJE VOZAČKOG ISPITA NIJE MOGUĆE NA MANJINSKOM JEZIKU I PISMU ZBOG NEDOSTATKA PARA

Author(s): Aleksandar Saša Zeković / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 43-44/2009

Crna Gora je država koja priznaje postojanje manjinskih naroda na svojoj teritoriji i pristupila je gotovo svim međunarodnim dokumentima promovisanja i zaštite ljudskih prava. Poštovanje identiteta podrazumijeva stvaranje odgovarajućih uslova za njegovo izražavanje, očuvanje i dalje razvijanje. Brojne praktične i svakodnevne situacije, posebno sa aspekta društvene kohezije, govore da je neophodno pristupiti usvajanju odgovarajućih mjera za unapređenje, u svim oblastima života, pune i efektivne ravnopravnosti pripadnika manjinskih naroda.

THE METHODOLOGY OF THE ANALYSIS OF CASE STUDY THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF THE ROMA MINORITY INTO THE SOCIAL SYSTEM

Author(s): Jelena Maksimović,Jelena Osmanović Zajić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

The Roma are an ethnic group that is spread throughout the world. Although there are poor ethnographic and historical notes about the origin of Roma on the basis of a study of legends and oral traditions, researchers who are engaged in Roma studies, often confirm that they originate from India. Their culture, habits, customs were mostly transmitted through the living word, from generation to generation. This research analyzed case studies of integration of the Roma minority in the social system. Special emphasis in research is aimed at analyzing stereotypes that arise from cultural patterns of Roma, given the fact that for them there are many different prejudices, while on the other hand, there is no access with critical analysis and does not indicate their specialty, which has its downside exactly in culture and patterns of behavior. The study analyzed how the traditional culture is important in the lives of Roma and how the social system treats this ethnic minority. Being a Rom in its original sense means to be human and to be equal with everyone, but paradoxically it is expected that non-Roma nation sets free of stereotypes and prejudices and to contribute to the integration and acceptance of Roma in our social system.

Indigenous Peoples in Paraguay: Dispensable Citizens?

Author(s): Gaya Makaran / Language(s): English Issue: 17/2016

This article aims to sketch out the current situation of indigenous peoples in Paraguay, both from a legal standpoint in terms of rights, that they supposedly enjoy and from the socioeconomic standpoint, which often reveals a huge contrast between reality and law. To this end, the author will briefly review the history of relations between national Paraguayan society and indigenous peoples, the legislative and ideological changes that have shaped this relationship, and the subjective perception that the majority of society has of native peoples.

TRATEGIE ADAPTACYJNE PRZEDSTAWICIELI MŁODEGO POKOLENIA MNIEJSZOŚCI LITEWSKIEJ W POLSCE PO MIGRACJI EDUKACYJNEJ NA LITWĘ

Author(s): Katarzyna Wójcikowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The aim of the article is to explore the adaptation strategies adopted by the young generation of the lithuanian minority in Poland after educational migration to lithuania. The analysis is based on 55 in-depth interviews with biographical elements, conducted between 2012–2014 among representatives of the researched group. in the first part of the text i explain the specificity of this type of mobility and challenges related to it. Then, I distinguish two strategies of adaptation – ‘minority group-oriented’ and ‘foreign homeland-oriented’. The attitude towards the community of origin (the minority group in Sejny region) and towards the host community (lithuanian society) are the criteria to identify them. The first strategy aims to recreate the well-known social world in the new circumstances and to strengthen its borders. Maintaining relationships mostly within the own group and remaining active in the local lithuanian community in Sejny region are its key elements. The second strategy is focused on immersing in a new socio-cultural reality, while maintaining ties with the community of origin. Expanding networks of interaction and changing ways of participation in the community of origin are its main pillars. I also discuss the circumstances which favor the adoption of a speci c strategy, such as time of migration, stage of the individual’s biography, and place of origin. Moreover, i indicate the transnational potential of both strategies and as a consequence, the opportunity to perceive the lithuanian minority in Poland from a different perspective – not as a strongly territorialized group, but as a trans-border community.

DIE GLEICHBERECHTIGUNG DER SORBEN IN SACHSEN EIN GRUNDWERT IN DER POLITISCHEN PRAXIS

Author(s): Dietrich Scholze / Language(s): German Issue: 23/2010

Grundwerte gelten als elementare Prinzipien menschlichen Zusammenlebens. Sie umfassen grundlegende Normen wie Freiheit, Solidarität, Demokratie, Rechtsstaatlichkeit, aber auch Achtung der Menschenrechte und der Menschenwürde. Auf den Grundwerten bauen die Grundrechte auf, die ursächlich von der Idee des Naturrechts geprägt sind. Denn die europäischen Grundrechte gehen zurück auf jene „Erklärung der Menschen- und Bürgerrechte“, die während der Französischen Revolution von 1789 die Nationalversammlung des Dritten Standes unter der Losung „Freiheit, Gleichheit, Brüderlichkeit!“ verkündete.
