Tranzicijske zemlje suočavaju se pak sa dodatnim problemom zbog nerazvijenosti koordinativnih institucija u okviru izvršne vlasti, glavni teret integracije i dalje pada na dominantnu političku organizaciju.

Democracies at Odds: Ostracized Public Values and Viable Social Concerns

Author(s): Tulja Parikka / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2015

What, if any, might be the connection between attacking democratic public values in Western societies and the emergence of rapid mediation of celebration of violence against women especially, but not exclusively, in the social media? Democratic public values, and the notion of common good, have been waning and bid farewell to the distant past. While this in itself is nothing new, considering public values and public good as pathological remainders of earlier eras has, however, become ever more normative in the discourses of individualism and neo-liberal order (Giroux, 2011). While public values often become wrapped up by warnings of thought-control, relatively little attention is paid to any controlling power of individualism. The less thought-controlling aspects of individualisms are often marketed as an implicit byproduct of neo-liberal ideologies.

Examining the Legacy of Large-Scale Sports Events as a Governance Issue: A Case Study from Trabzon, Turkey

Author(s): Burak Hergüner / Language(s): English Issue: 47/2015

The hosting of large-scale sports events is usually identified with a short period of enthusiasm for residents and improved city infrastructure. However, negative and unexpected outcomes such as enormous debts, underused facilities or discontented communities may also come to the agenda in the aftermath of the events. Thus, the early praise for the events may fade away in time, or conversely, widely criticized events may begin to be approved by residents when they establish a more positive legacy than first thought. Grassroots sports participation and positive changes in public life are two significant legacies of major sports events to ensure their success in the long-term. This paper focuses on the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) Trabzon 2011 Games and examines its two legacies—grassroots sports participation and public life—four years after the Games. The data were collected through semi-structured, open-ended interviews, and a total of 50 interviews based on a mix of purposive and convenience sampling were conducted. The results revealed an increase in grassroots sport participation and the emergence of a new mentality in the city.

Author(s): Zdeněk Veselý / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2017

The papers looks at the changes of the position of an actor in the international system and their application on the historical evolution of the Czech state. The methodology of the authors from the English school B. Buzan and R. Little has been used in order to determine particular levels of the analysis of the international system: a system, a subsystem, a unit, and a sub unit. The author operates with that terminology in a way where he combines various situations where the actor of the international relations can end up in. Consequently, the author simulates the particular positions where the Czech state has been found from its beginning till today: system-unit (Czech state from its beginning to 1490, Czechoslovakia 1918-1938, 1945/48-1989, 1989-1992, Czech Republic 1993-2004), system-subunit (Czech state 1490 – half 17th Century), subsystem – unit (Czech state half 17th Century - half 18th Century), subsystem - subunit (Czech state half 18th Century – 1918), specific position (Nazi Protectorat 1939-1945, Communist Czechoslovakia 1948-1989), new Situation (after 2004).
