In addressing this broad aim, the paper focuses on reconstructing the training, labour and migratory trajectories of skilled Romanians with tertiary education acquired in Romania, with previous labour trajectories in Romania, working in Barcelona’s IT, financial and business sectors. By shaping these life trajectories from a retrospective perspective, the paper offers key elements in explaining successful training, labour and migratory careers taking into account the following principles: agency; time and space; life-span development, and the principle of linked lives.

This text aims to identify and explore the main pathways of connecting the discourse of health to the nation’s identity as a substitute for traditional religion in Czechoslovakia during the 1920s, a period during which institutions were created and new discourses about health were promoted. By investigating the primary discourses and policies concerning people with disabilities, we deconstruct the concept of functional health as used by Czechoslovak ideologists, in their attempts to connect health and labour as the grounds for building the nation. We trace how the concept of functional health and disability as inability to work operated in favour of delegitimizing the Roma as a nation and establishing tough strategies of surveillance of the Roma population.

He was especially popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when he clearly had obvious political ambitions. His influence declined later on. However, he continued to be an important intellectual who clearly earned his visible place in Russian intellectual history. His ideas still reflect the opinions of a considerable segment of the Russian elite and general public. This is one of the reasons why his views, including those on Russian history, its meaning and dynamics deserve to be presented. In addition, his view of Russian history as a cycle of decline and rebirth had much more broad appeal and application. It could be traced in the cultures of many societies, especially those in crisis. Here, the theory of decline and revival provided the hope that nothing is lost and that the country could reemerge in the future even greater than it was before. While studying Dugin’s views, one should remember that they changed over the course of time. This article deals with Dugin’s views of Russian history, which he espoused from the 1990s to approximately the early 2000s.

Debating the expectations of the mainstream literature, the author introduces the concept of the identity of smallness, namely an actor’s perception of its own size and weakness in the international arena as a factor which predominantly shapes its foreign policy and tests the theory on the case of Hungary and Slovakia. Analysing the most important strategic documents as manifestations of self-perception, the study concludes that the identity of Slovakia and Hungary regarding their size is markedly different which enables them to conduct different foreign policies in practice despite their systemically similar situations.

Through the combination of musicological group analysis, fieldwork, interviews and media analysis, we follow the trajectory of the song “Nélküled” (Ismerős Arcok 2007) between 2007 and 2021 through its changing musical, social, media and political contexts. We identify three processes: firstly, the radicalization of the band in a subcultural context parallel to the development of the so-called national rock genre; secondly, the popularization and folklorization of the song, whereby it becomes at least partly detached from the original performing artists and embedded into the everyday culture of broader population segments; and finally, the parallel processes of political legitimation and cultural consecration. Our enquiry contributes a political economic perspective to the relatively under-theorized system of relationships between popular music, its social-cultural (genre, taste) and industrial logics, politics and the media by complementing media-based theories of subculture and mainstream with an understanding of political actors and processes. Through this, we also complement studies of everyday nationalism with viewing cultural practices in the political context of hegemonic right-wing ideology and increasing government control of the cultural and media industries.

Vučić uses only the negative common features of Serbs as a foundation for the emotional continuity of the nation while ignoring existing attachments such as the territorialization of memory and sanctification of territory. Furthermore, since he believes that the question of Kosovo’s status (a central theme of both attachments), and political continuity have been lost because of the irresponsible politics of previous governments and severe pressure from the Western powers, Vučić links a compromise with the Kosovo Albanians to the question of Serbia’s survival. The paper leaves it to the reader to assess whether this change would be ideal for Serbia or morally permissible. In addition, the question of whether the existing attachments, built through education and collective memory for decades – even centuries – are sufficiently solidified to reject the change, remains largely unexplored.

While exploring the relationships between art and ideology as their major point of interest, Laibach has appropriated a symbolically charged language of communication, which encompasses an eclectic assemblage of provocative and ambivalent artistic, political, and religious references, often relying on their shock value. Since their beginning, the group has been associated and surrounded with controversy, provoking strong reactions from the political authorities of former Yugoslavia and in particular in the Socialist Republic of Slovenia. Laibach’s international success commenced when the famed British label Mute Records signed them and released their 1987 album Opus Dei. In the over 40 years of Laibach’s existence, which coincided with the political, economic, and cultural transition in the European East, the group has crossed a wide path from being the harsh, ominous voice of the Slovene alternative cultural scene in socialist Yugoslavia to independent Slovenia’s major cultural export. This paper puts into an historical perspective the spectacular changes in Laibach’s uneasy co-habitation with the institutional framework and cultural mainstream of their home country, on the one hand, and the global contemporary art scene and music industry, on the other.

Verka Serduchka and Slawomir as examples of critical dance music Abstract: The aim of this article is to compare two artists – the Ukrainian Verka Serduchka and the Polish Sławomir – by analysing their most representative songs. The visual (music videos), sonic (genre), and lyrical factors of their performances are viewed as the elements of their musical personae (as understood by Philip Auslander). Verka and Sławomir are presented as folk-rooted but socially elevated stars who tend to mock political (auto)stereotypes through the lens of a rural–urban dichotomy. They both represent a specific local kind of “dance music,” that is a field where political discourse, strongly rooted in folk inspiration, is constructed, reproduced, and sustained. The objective is to disclose how they perform the mockery of classical values based on the themes of folk culture, stardom, and love, through their comedic personae.

The Russia–Ukraine military conflict and its perception in Belarus Abstract: This article analyses the response in Belarus to the Russia–Ukraine war, which started on 24 February 2022. Traditionally, the Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko had been trying to maintain good working relations with Kiev, featuring Belarus as “the most reliable partner” of Ukraine. However, when Moscow launched its “special military operation” in Ukraine, Lukashenko chose to fully ally with Russia, allowing the free passage of the Russian Army through the territory of Belarus and the use of necessary infrastructure by Russian forces. In his justifications of the war, Lukashenko deliberated on themes such as regional security and possible threats from Ukraine. The state-controlled media have provided extensive explanations for the Moscow invasion, speaking about the necessity of settling the Donbas conflict, the aggressive policy of Kiev in relation to Belarus, the inadequate behaviour of Ukrainian elites, and the need for de-Nazification of Ukraine. The discordant voices were mainly coming from the opposition media, which had developed a pro-Ukraine narrative. Given a lack of reliable surveys, it is not possible to properly assess the attitude of the general public towards the war in Ukraine, although it is likely that most Belarusians would sympathize the Moscow’s interpretations of events.

Its aim is to capture the thematic development of song lyrics on a defined timeline with regard to the broader cultural and political context, especially in relation to political developments in Czechoslovakia after the occupation by Warsaw Pact troops in August 1968 and the subsequent phase of so-called “normalization”. In this sense, the article examines the concept of “normalization pop”, which appeared in Czech journalism immediately after the collapse of the communist regime and which gradually became part of the official interpretation of Czechoslovak popular music history. According to this view, the pop of the 1970s and 1980s, especially through its lyrics, fulfilled a primary propaganda function, thus fundamentally distinguishing itself from the authentic output of the previous decade. The article explores the extent to which such an interpretation corresponds to the real nature of pop of the period, and to what extent it is merely a construct of anti-communist tendencies seeking a vigorous rejection of the pre-1989 era and its official culture.

In arguing that protest politics is deeply embedded in the historical and temporal processes of the national context, the study takes a historical perspective on the analysis of political transformations since the late period of socialism and the development of protest traditions. This long-term reconstruction suggests that the emergence of a strong new-left movement in Slovenia was facilitated by two relational processes: the growing political polarization within the left and the political identification of influential protest actors with left-wing ideas and frames.

While the late socialist dictatorship insisted that culture be a vehicle for education and enlightenment, the new market-oriented, post-socialist society focused on rapid profits over the quality of young people’s entertainment. Nevertheless, young people managed to create spaces for their own preferred forms of entertainment under these different conditions with the help of various strategies. Drawing on interviews with DJs and regular scene participants, this study explores Czech(oslovak) dance venues and night life from the late 1970s to the late 1990s.

To fulfil this function, we now have the technology to eliminate barriers and facilitate global communication. In this environment, the informational highway plays an ever-increasing role in people’s life. The article tries to determine through a set of questionnaires how the youth political culture is shaped by evaluating the quantity and quality of information they receive through mainstream media and how important is political participation to the formation of the youth political culture.

For the analysis the model of Baldur Thorhallsson was used, which for small EU countries assumes the presence of several characteristics - their good relationship with the European Commission (EC), prioritization of objectives and the flexibility of administration. The presence of these elements in Czech behaviour is analysed using data obtained from 10 interviews with Czech diplomats acting both in the Permanent Representation at the EU (PermRep) and at the capital or the European Commission. In conclusion, the study finds that although the Czech Republic fulfils the conditions for the behaviour of a small country, it cannot adequately balance the limits that arise from the given data. As an explanation for this discrepancy, we offer the low level of socialization of the Czech Republic in the EU and reluctance to accept the role of a small member state.

In this context, the document will test if the external orchestrated coup theory gets validation from the analysis of the existent data and of the relevant actors’ behavioural dynamics.

Drawing upon evidence from 1,000 face-to-face interviews conducted in Croatia during 2013, and using stepwise Tobit regression analysis, the finding is that after controlling for other explanatory variables, participation in the informal economy results from the asymmetry between the norms, values and beliefs of citizens (informal institutions) and the codified laws and regulations (formal institutions). Reducing such institutional asymmetry is thus required if the informal economy is to be tackled. How this can be achieved in post-socialist societies is then discussed.

It was the first time Jews had taken to a public stage (quite literally) in order to demonstrate, in this case against a play they deemed to be antisemitic. This effectively put an end to the attitude of reticence and conformity that defined the initial post-war decades, in which Jews living in Germany sat on metaphorical “packed suitcases”, ready to move on at any moment. Although the demonstration united the generation of Holocaust survivors and their children’s generation, an analysis of the discourse used in the debate shows that the demonstration had different meanings for these two generations. As such, the Fassbinder controversy can also be seen as signalling a generational transition within Germany’s Jewish community.

Wide open eyes against one-eyed “campisms” Abstract: Was it correct and efficient on internationalist point of view to chose one “main enemy” (and “camp”) during the Kosovo’s crisis and war (1999) – and in Ukraine, after Maidan’s upsurge, Yanukovich’s fall, Russian's annexation of Crimea and “hybrid war” in Donbas? This article argues against “campist” approaches in both contexts, because they lead to downsizing criticisms of real relations of dominations within the chosen supported “camp”, preventing the establishment of real conditions for popular self-determination. Instead of producing concrete analysis of concrete (changing) situations, “campist” positions tend to underestimate both new international unstable and opaque relations and the relative (even if difficult) autonomy of popular upsurges not to be reduced to “pawns” manipulated by great powers.

By highlighting factors that tilt the balance of power away from moderate reformers towards hardliners, this comparative analysis sheds light on the conditions that lead a relatively successful party on the ideological wings, such as the AfD, to radicalize its programme. Four variables stand out: whether party hardliners take the blame for the recent election loss; whether they offer a convincing programmatic and strategic alternative to the reformers; whether changes in party composition strengthen hardliners; and whether external factors enhance their weight within the party. The essay concludes that the AfD’s radicalization was unusual, but not exceptional. It is however too early to conclude that the Federal Republic’s distinctive institutions and political culture no longer impose significant costs on parties that shift their programmes away from the centre.

The case study will explore the peer production of the control of law enforcement through a governance system where citizens generate governance functions. The sample of variegated interactions between citizens and the local administration will illustrate that confrontational tactics have some impact on street-level bureaucrats in the domains of producing expertise, improving performance, and ensuring responsiveness and compliance. It will also be demonstrated that these new modes of operating retain an arbitrary governance system in which the personality of activists, their personal relations with state bureaucrats, and collective clientelism play a role.

The article identifies three phases of development of knowledge-intensive sectors of the Russian economy: the Soviet phase, the phase of transformation (from the early 1990s to mid-2000s) and the present one, which can be roughly described as a quasi-nationalization phase. Furthermore, the authors of the article discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Soviet experience in managing high-tech industries; analyse typical mistakes, which were made during the privatization of knowledge-intensive enterprises and their consequences for the Russian economy and reveal the main problems and risks associated with the policy of creating tightly integrated multi-tiered structures, which stay under control of the state. The article presents figures describing changes in financial indicators relating to a number of integrated structures in high-tech industries.

This holds true for the Arab Spring in 2011, as it does for missing popular protests that made Ukrainian President Yanukovych leave the country in 2014. While Western governments were heavily criticized for missing these dynamics, scholars were mostly spared. This paper argues that social scientists have not learnt the lessons. The rise of large-scale protest movements and the radicalization dynamics coming with them will be missed again – no matter what time and location. This claim will be unfolded on the basis of Syria and Ukraine where non-violent protests were the beginning of current violent intrastate conflict. By pinpointing inconsistencies with prominent early warning instruments (Fragile States Index, Polity IV, International Crisis Group, Heidelberg Conflict Barometer), implications for better tool boxes will be discussed.

This article argues that such implicit dismissal is unwarranted. A number of independent sources point to the importance of their role in the Western contacts with Soviet bloc oppositionists. Their efforts were pioneering, persistent and broad-ranging. Trotskyists were political subversive travelers in the East at a time when very few people were really interested in ‘the other Europe’. Beyond the early years, they continued playing a noticeable role due to their focus on illegal and practical support and particularly on the more risky business of smuggling printing devices to the East, first of all Poland. Finally their engagement was multifaceted. Some Trotskyists became involved in broad and influential trans-political campaigns for the freeing of political prisoners. The impact of their publications ought also to be emphasized: Trotskyists were the driving forces behind the creation of L’Alternative in France, Labour Focus on Eastern Europe in the UK, Gegenstimmen in Austria. If one is interested in Western practical assistance to Soviet bloc dissidents before 1980, then powerful mainstream politicians become almost irrelevant. The main actors were unknown and politically marginal. In that milieu, Trotskyists were among the major actors.

The authors refer to the fact that a “turn to history” has been linked to a broad set of standpoints incorporated into various contexts, which complicates any assessment of the impact of these standpoints on the agenda of research into democratization. According to the authors, it is not possible to suffice with a simple juxtaposition of historicizing and non-historicizing or “ahistorical” approaches. It is necessary to progress beyond this dichotomy and place emphasis on a more detailed, more specific identification and differentiation of the theoretical and methodological standpoints contained within the projects. In this spirit, the article focuses on an assessment of the implications of a combination of a “turn to history” and an acknowledgement of the diversity of modes and outcomes of democratization for the development of contextually sensitive approaches, which respect the complexity of the processes investigated and their configurations. This development helps open up a broad arena for a desirable interdisciplinary enhancement of the theoretical background of democratization studies, and for a more pronounced application of the “multi-sited” format of these studies.

Historical trajectories in Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria Abstract: This paper seeks to explain the current attacks on civil society in Central-Eastern Europe by means of a comparative historical sociology of the public sphere. I relate current populist discourses targeting liberal civil society practitioners in Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria to the historical developments of the public sphere in those countries from the emergence of the modern political sphere (late 19th century) till today. In all three cases I consider contemporary rhetoric as possibly misrepresenting but nevertheless reflecting deeper social grievances, stemming from long-lasting social cleavages and their contested political expressions.The Polish public sphere is seen as dominated by the intelligentsia and by “fratricidal” struggles within this group. In conditions of a concealed fracture between the intelligentsia and the popular classes the external other of Polishness (usually Jews) and a populist discourse, which claims to represent the entire and true nation, helped to unify the nation as an inter-class political community. Hungary is a case of a dual stratification order – the emerging urban elites have been Europeanized, but old gentry elites sought to mobilize rank-based hierarchies and provincial political constituencies in the name of a true Hungarianess. This split was epitomized by a populist vs. urbanist cleavage, re-staged several times and skilfully used by the Fidesz party to mobilize the voters. In Bulgaria peasant egalitarianism was for decades solidified by successful state socialism. The history of alienated state bureaucracy, and conspiratorial, non-transparent power brokerage after transition contributed to a wide-spread understanding of liberal NGO activity as “corrupted” foreign involvement.

The civil society master frame and discursive opportunities of politically active civil organizations in Hungary Abstract: Since the mid-2010s a political discourse began on the role of civil organizations as a counterbalance to the democratic backlash in Hungary. The idea that civil society can be an agent of democratic transition and have control over politics can be dated back in East Central Europe to the end of the 1970s. The paper aims to reveal how the political control function, i.e. the civil society master frame resonates in Hungarian society with the help of a representative survey of 1100 respondents. The data shows that the target group of the civil society master frame can be left-liberal citizens in mid-sized towns, which indicates a discrepancy between discursive and mobilization opportunities as politically active civil organizations can approach citizens from the country’s capital with a high social status.

The EU as resource and partner for liberal democratic NGOs in Hungary Abstract: In the context of rising illiberalism in Hungary, this paper sheds light on how far Hungarian NGOs experience the EU as a resource and partner in countering the domestic dismantling of liberal democracy. This issue is of academic and political relevance as the emergence of an `illiberal state` within the EU´s borders does not only challenge the coherence among its members but also its legitimacy as a community of democratic states. The findings suggest that for Hungarian NGOs, the EU is a resource of limited efficiency as well as reliability. Moreover, the EU is considered as devoted to liberal democratic values at the level of “beautiful statements” but not as a strong ideological partner in concrete actions to counter Orbán`s illiberalism. However, it appears to constitute a normative horizon and thus to act as an alternative to Hungary´s authoritarian past and present.

In general, Belarusian authorities refused to recognize Crimea as a part of Russia, and continue to consider this peninsula to be de jure a part of Ukraine. The war in the Donbas is seen more as a civil war than as a “Russian aggression” although the involvement of Russia is not denied. At the same time, the general public in Belarus justifies the incorporation of Crimea into the Russian Federation and believes that the Ukrainian authorities are most at fault for their inability to stop the war in the Donbas.

During this period, the agricultural production structure polarized between units with rapid land concentration and intensified commodity production and small-scale subsistence farmers. Gender dynamics showed to have had great importance for how farms could position themselves on the capital accumulation trajectory. The study is based on a selection from fifty life-history interviews carried out with farm families on the commodification trajectory during the post-socialist transition in rural Hungary between 2000 and 2004 (the years prior to Hungary joining the EU), among which a number of farm families were revisited after three years of the first occasion. Four major types of family farms were identified based on how they (un)done the gender entrepreneurship nexus while reconciling production and care: traditional family farm, semi-equal partnerships in joint farms, feminized one-woman farm, masculinized one-man farm. Semi-equal partnerships in joint farms moved towards different directions over time: farms with separate spheres adjusting to care, masculinization, woman-led joint farm with care mission out-sourced, and farms with dual crises of care and enterprise. The demands for reproducing family farms under globalized market pressure assumed the mobilization of family labour. Women’s inputs were of great importance, while their responsibility to organise care prevailed, putting extra pressure on their health and work burden.

Soviet and Hungarian collective farms compared Abstract: This paper presents insights from research conducted on the transition from the traditional peasant lifestyle to that of the “modern cooperative”. Based on archival research and oral history interviews, the authors focus on the effects on peasant women’s lives of socialist collective farms as new compulsory workplaces. The investigated villages (Mezőkaszony and Mihálygerge) are populated by ethnic Hungarians but are situated in two countries: Hungary and the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, the challenges that women faced with the creation of the collective farm system were similar. Using comparative micro-level analysis, the authors examine societal change and changes in family life from the point of view of women as collective farms were created and developed. In particular, they reveal the initial employment experiences of village women after the collective farms were formed and explore their changing life strategies as they adapted to the new agricultural system.

By analysing the discursive practices of the Hungarian Prime Minister, the following paper addresses the complex process of Hungarian identity construction. Drawing on the intellectual heritage of symbolic interactionism and linking it to the current post-structuralist research, I stress the interconnection of foreign policy and the dialectical Self-Other relationship. Additionally, the article strengthens the argument of previous studies claiming that the Prime Minister intensifies the “othering” in his discourse to gain support for his vision of the Hungarian identity and simultaneously increase the support of voters for his party.

On the way it addresses subsistence farming in towns, new communities and garden cities at the turn of the twentieth century and similar initiatives following both world wars, including the vexed question of the unacknowledged but vitally significant subsistence family production in both socialist eastern Europe in general and eastern Germany in particular. Waves of urban and community gardening in the 1970s and 1990s are also discussed, as are recent ‘food sovereignty’ movements such as La Campesina and Nyéléni. It concludes with a call not only to reclaim the commons but to reintroduce the commons as part of a new socio-ecological policy which will feed people and counter unemployment and urban slum development.

It considers their work situation, their role in management, their contribution to the cooperative's leadership, and the impact of Hungary's new woman policy of the 1970s. Providing employment for women was a central goal of the farm leadership, but women were concentrated in less skilled jobs and 'female' professions. A few made it to middle management positions, but none got to the top, although they were better represented in party positions. Their contribution to household farming was was determining yet difficult to quantify.

In spite of this interest, there appears to be no consensus in the way that it should be referred to – is it a neo-fascist, a neo-Nazi or a radical right-wing party? The aim of this study is an attempt to analyse the ideology of the LSNS based on both official and unofficial statements and the rhetoric of its representatives, the party’s agenda and propaganda. It argues that the party´s past, its constant attacks on democracy and the democratic system, the glorification of undemocratic regimes, declared efforts to achieve an “alternative to the contemporary decadent era,” and a “new epoch,” its international cooperation with similar movements, racists, anti-Semitic statements and the use of neo-Nazi symbolism indicate the neo-Nazi character of the party’s ideology.

Is the term ‘modernisation’ appropriate for this finding, and what can be found in the concrete sources? Local examples will be evaluated on the basis of the parish of Brodowin, which is today part of the Schorfheide-Chorin district, approximately 60 kilometres north-east of Berlin, and Klützer Winkel, a village in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern not far from the old border between East and West Germany. Further consideration is given to working conditions after the ‘change of system’, when the impact of the Agriculture Adjustment Act could be felt by those concerned. Overall, in the last two decades, economic and social conditions have resulted in a situation where women have been unable to use positively their professional qualifications, their own income, their own social and old-age insurance, specific women’s rights or their self-determined non-family childcare experience (nurseries, kindergartens, school day-care centres) What role did one’s own experience in the field of professional qualifications play, for different age-groups of female workers, in terms of developing options for coping with the situation of social collapse in the 1990s? How does this relate to decisions about migration and especially about the process of deciding to move away from rural areas?

It briefly presents the debates about the wars of the 1990s, summarizing the orientalist/balkanist interpretations, the explanation of the “failed Westernization,” and concepts of Greater-Serbian aggression and Great Power rivalry. The study concludes that all interpretations – except for the extremist branch of the Orientalist paradigm (which focused on the so-called primordial ethnic hatred) and the excesses of national narratives – have, to a varying degree, rational substance. They all make a contribution to the multidisciplinary and multicausal understanding of the disintegration of Yugoslavia in certain aspects. The study further establishes that enough knowledge has been accumulated by now to enable historians to gain – while not a “full and accurate,” but a reliable – picture of what happened. However, greater availability of primary sources as well as a broader comparative approach is still needed.

It is based on ethnographic data collected between 2016 and 2018, including interviews with members of former agricultural production cooperatives and archival research centring on the Oderbruch region (Brandenburg). The author analyses the realities of life and work for women in the socialist village between expectations, opportunities, and realities. The tension between media discourses on the ‘new’ socialist woman, institutional politics, social expectations and village communal practices is drawn out. Within this frame, this texts highlights the numerous ways in which rural women actively designed their relationship to broader transitions in the rural economy, such as the socialist land reform and collectivisation. It narrates how women embraced opportunities and met challenges to realise their own interests. The strategic management of social difference, gender expectations and policy resulted in support for the economic success of cooperative, at least since the 1970s. On the one hand, women's readiness to work in low-paid jobs that offered family compatible working hours and social security was used to improve the financial performance of the cooperative. On the other hand, specific instruments of gender policies were used to improve the economic performance of the cooperative. Women were installed as leading committee members and division managers – against the explicit wish of many male workers. The expertise of young academic females was strategically employed to incite a process of innovation within changing economic policies and demands.

Why success was almost not an option in the 2020 protests in Belarus Abstract: This essay analyses the New Protest Movement in Belarus, strongly manifested after the 9 August 2020 Presidential elections. The Belarusian protests, which initially looked like a serious threat to Lukashenko’s power, have lost eventually their thrust and energy. I argue that the main reasons for the failure of these protests consisted of, first, an underestimation of the real rating of Lukashenko, second, the constrained participation of certain social groups (for instance, industrial and agricultural workers mainly ignored these protests), third, a high degree of consolidation of governmental institutions, and, finally, the loyalty of the police and military to the Belarusian President. In addition, many people were alienated by the protests’ symbols and were scared by harsh oppressive measures, taken by the authorities. Although the 2020 protests did not succeed in removing Lukashenko, or changing his internal or external policies, they revealed an increasing degree of mutual hatred and distrust among different layers of Belarusian society. The atmosphere of fear and threat has become intense as never before, but the people’s desire to change the course of developments has also been on the rise, especially among the younger generation of Belarusians.

As a result, the socio-economic impact of the global financial crisis and political reactions to it varied considerably among post-communist states. Nevertheless, there have been some common trends in their macroeconomic performances, labour market reforms and welfare outcomes. These trends have important implications for future economic policy actions at this critical juncture in the coronavirus pandemic.

Beyond these two extremes, in order to combat the potential negative consequences of fragmentation and polarization on government, PR systems can incorporate majoritarian features as a moderating influence. We examine this relationship by considering the conditions under which majoritarian features can backfire and contribute to a more extreme government. We present a theoretical example to illustrate this effect across a range of majoritarian rules and highlight the importance of coordination. To stress that our example is not simply a theoretical possibility, we discuss the cases of Poland (2015), Hungary (2014), and Greece (2015), which incorporate majoritarian features through, respectively, a high election threshold, single-member districts, and bonus seats to the plurality winner. We argue that these elements in each case contributed to the legislative power of extreme, populist parties.

We analyse the role developed by the parties Jobbik and Our Homeland in Hungary, while in Poland we focus on the case of Konfederacja. However, while these parties are not important considering their number of Deputies in Parliament, they are relevant in shaping the political climate. Their presence and success is part of the same right wing ecosystem and conditions that sustains the mainstream radical right. Between these parties and the government have been established different kinds of relationships that we consider as: collaboration (Our Homeland), competition from the radical right (first Jobbik and Konfederacja) and competition from the centre (second Jobbik).

Often, electoral rhetoric about right-wing governments being financially prudent and left-wing governments being “tax and spend” actors still holds sway in public discussion. However, empirical analysis and academic research have rarely backed such claims. The research hypothesis is that economic activity is mostly independent of who governs, also known as policy convergence. The article aims to test the policy convergence thesis on four Visegrád countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia). The research applied hierarchical models to estimate the effects of the ideological composition of the cabinet on the quarterly change of real GDP while controlling for other relevant predictors. The results confirmed the policy convergence thesis because the effects of various cabinets were neither substantial nor meaningful.

Yet, it also delivers by way of a long introduction an overview of Latvia’s economic development in the post-Soviet period from a heterodox perspective that hints at why good options might not have been selected in the past. Following the above overview, we provide a detailed sectoral analysis of Latvia’s economy since the 2008 financial shock that reveals continued hindrances to its development. We conclude by outlining development-friendly tax and industrial policy recommendations to promote Latvia’s continued transformation into a more modern, sustainable, socially responsible and digitally enabled economy.

Empirically, we make this argument through select and carefully contextualized Polish and Austrian discursive “snapshots”. Conceptually, we propose that new theoretical terminology is needed, which we find in what we describe and analyse as palimpsests of the romantic. Key assumptions and sentiments that defined romanticism are thereby shown to be re- and over-written, under novel social conditions and by later generations of political and cultural actors in both Poland and Austria.

With around 200,000 temporary agency workers, and 1500 temporary staffing agencies by 2013, the Czech Republic represents the second largest market for TAW in Central Eastern Europe, behind only Poland. This paper charts the development of the temporary staffing industry (TSI) in the Czech Republic, and examines the roles of key institutions involved. The research utilises interviews to map key stakeholders across the industry to illustrate how the expansion of the industry has been both facilitated and hindered by activities of different stakeholders to form a distinct Czech variety of national TSI. In doing so this paper provides insights into the features of the TSI in the Czech Republic and the factors which are both driving its development and hindering its growth. The key findings in this paper illuminate a conflict in the Czech TSI where agencies have sought to expand but face resistance from regulatory conditions and trade unions which may in turn hinder its future development.

In order to explore where the EU’s power in the neighbourhood is and how it works (how EU rule extends), this article, firstly, conceptualizes the Union’s engagement in the associated neighbourhood as a manifestation of structural power. Then, secondly, it reveals the internal logic of what has been termed as “structural power Europe” by means of explaining the rationale beyond the notion, the sources (legal and market authority), mechanics (externalization, “internalization”) and instances (security, democracy, energy and economy structures) of the EU’s structural engagement in the newly associated Eastern neighbourhood.

On the misery of the Left in Eastern Europe: the case of Poland Abstract: This article is a socio-historical analysis of the current weak position of the left wing in Poland and an attempt to explain the social causes of this situation. The author focuses mainly on the last 26 years and the political and economic processes, which took place in Poland and in Eastern Europe after the cold war and the restoration of capitalism in this part of the world. He also points to historical events taking place in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This paper shows that after the collapse of the Eastern bloc, its former member countries experienced extensive changes in the structure of ownership and huge social inequalities. Although this did not evoke class anger, social frustration was used for the development of populist right-wing and nationalist movements, composed of defenders of national identity. The current authoritarian government of the conservative-nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party in Poland is the result of not only the recent parliamentary elections, but also of neoliberal policies and the lack of a comprehensive, progressive political alternative to the directions set by the power elite in the early 1990s.

For this study, interviews were conducted with 96 female victims and survivors of human trafficking in Poland to comprehend the current trends and patterns of cross-border trafficking of victims in Poland and the major areas of trafficking for sex-based exploitation within the current international security debate. While the survey instrument was primarily focused on demographic characteristics; a number of socio-economic questions were also asked to the respondents. The study identified some priorities that Poland should address to tackle the issue of trafficking – recognizing, protecting and supporting victims of trafficking; hastening the prevention of trafficking in human beings; better coordination and cooperation among key informants and policy coherence; and improved knowledge of and effective response to emerging concerns related to all forms of trafficking in human beings.

By introducing a model derived from the principal-agent paradigm, the article argues that the governors’ support for the dominant party was a key survival factor. The analyses reveal the gradual replacement of experienced political leaders with loyal bureaucrats. The Kremlin has thus, prepared a team of loyal players who can run their regions in full accordance with Kremlin policy even after the reinstatement of elections.

Such an imagination encouraged people to engage with practices that, non-existing or marginal in the west, came to be associated with an allegedly better life existent there. The material evidence of such a form of imagination was visible in simple everyday practices, like home decoration, listening to music, and procurement of clothing. Regular imitation of Western life, also known as practicing Imaginary West, defined some markers of a late Soviet generation’s identity. The analysis of such a cultural construct became crucial for the better understanding of identity processes in the Soviet and then post-Soviet region. Scholars, who analysed how the space of the Imaginary West was developed in Soviet times, believed that practices and discourses that originated from this cultural construct were doomed to disappear with the fall of the Iron curtain. This article first of all questions whether the transformation from imaginary to real takes place and how did ordinary people experience this change? This work tries to answer these questions through the exploration of the phenomenon of Evroremont, which is a type of renovating practice, based on different interpretations of western interior designs, which started to become mainstream across the territory of the former Soviet Union in the beginning of the 1990s. An analysis of 38 semi-structured interviews conducted in L’viv presents a myriad of symbolic meanings of this phenomenon and indicates why and how Evroremont could be considered a further materialization of the Imaginary West.

While the 1999 NATO-led humanitarian intervention in the region was often justified as necessary due to the continuous abuses of human rights, perpetrated by the Serbian forces against the ethnic Kosovo Albanians, the post-interventionist period has witnessed a dramatic reversal of roles, with the rights of the remaining Serbian minority being regularly abused by the dominant Albanian population. However, in contrast to the former scenario, the Brussels administration has remained quite silent about the post-independence context – a grey zone of unviable political and social components, capable of generating new confrontations and human rights abuses within the borders of Kosovo. Aware of this dynamic and the existing EU official rhetoric, it is possible to conclude not only that the embedded human rights concerns in Kosovo are unlikely to disappear, but even more importantly, that recognition of their relevance has been significantly eroded.

Abstract: The Dayton Peace Accords signed in 1995 have up until now proved ineffective. They completed their mission – to stop the hostilities and stabilize the situation. However, they failed to create a viable state. Centrifugal tendencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina are compounded by the conflicting interests of major international players: the European Union and the United States, Russia, and Turkey. The strategy chosen by international forces in Bosnia is inefficient and fraught with outbreaks of violence in the region. This article analyzes the discrepancy of the policy pursued in Bosnia and Herzegovina compared with reality. The author of the article proposes a potential plan for the harmonious development of the state.

In spite of this growth, informality is still relatively understudied considering how widespread and significant a phenomenon it has become. In particular, if we go beyond a merely economistic view of the phenomenon, one could argue that an understanding of informality explains a variety of social responses and the number of cases where we have been able to apply an informality framework is perhaps very telling. Debates remain too bounded by one of two paradigms: either recourse to geographic particularism or exceptionalism or ongoing debates on transition or transformation (the appropriateness of ‘posting’ socialism). To break with this attitude, we suggest with this special issue that study of informality needs to build into itself a middle-field theory explaining its endurance which acknowledges both specificities of social action arising from common(ish) pasts and experience of change after 1989/91 leading to translatable presents, as well as these societies’ positioning as mediating sites of neocapitalism between the Global North and South, with such a theory being a key articulation of the multiple modernities thesis.

We start from a relationship that is based on economic reward and common interests and go on to explore the non-economic components of this relationship. Economically, the workers entrust their supervisor and agree to work for him for a given amount of money. However, this decision is also embedded in a non-economic dimension. All workers, and their master, come from the same village so that an additional layer of social obligations are involved. First, workers are able to receive a treatment that goes beyond economic relations, with favours or more mild attitudes when needed. Second, they are also able to put pressure on the line manager through their families in case things do not work out the way they expected. We use the case study to propose the existence of a non-monetary currency (or even currencies) that complement formal currencies. Money, its symbolism and the power attached to it still play a major role in the relationships and dependencies analyzed here. These points help us in suggesting that relations encompass a wide range of transactions and rituals that go beyond mere economic interest and that cannot be neglected when understanding informality.

Examining the impact of institutional reforms on informal institutions in post-Euromaidan Ukraine Abstract: What happens to informal institutions in the process of institutional reforms? This article aims to examine one particular aspect of the complex interaction between institutional reforms and informality; the impact of reforms on informal political institutions. The success of Ukraine’s Euromaidan in overthrowing the autocratic government of Viktor Yanukovich in 2014 has ushered a wind of change into the post-Soviet political landscape, for decades dominated by authoritarian and semi-authoritarian forms of governance and the reliance on informal institutions engraved in political traditions. This study is among the first to question as to whether an ambitious reform agenda currently being implemented by the Ukraine’s post-Euromaidan government has had a notable impact on the deeply rooted informal relations in the political sphere. Drawing its empirical insights from a series of in-depth interviews conducted in Kiev in 2015, this study shows that while informal relations have become increasingly vulnerable to formalization efforts and, as a result, various informal institutions in present-day Ukrainian politics have lost their functions and influence, other informal institutions are not only being preserved by the political elites, but also are being employed to promote the reform processes.

Complementary to literature that discusses informality as a qualifier for “networks,” “practices” and “institutions,” I discuss its role as an interpretive filter in the process of policy translation. As the article shows, an important role in this process is taken by the transactors, local staff of the international agency and employees of the internationally supported non-governmental sector, who view formal requirements and procedures as fake and nonsensical (ubleha).

In particular, the configuration of family policy provisions and the care gaps created by the absence of quality childcare alternatives especially during the first three years are mainly responsible for the expansion of undeclared home-based early years childcare services. By reflecting on the particular configuration of macro-level social and economic deficits that have shaped demand for and supply of early years childcare over the last ten years in conjunction with family policy provisions, the paper empirically engages with the ways in which these deficits play out at the household level, generating a need for informally provided bespoke early years childcare. Relying on in-depth interview material with urban and rural dual-income couples, collected in 2010 and 2015, the article captures the crucial importance of family policy instruments in shaping the nature of specific configurations of need for care services, to be provided first and foremost informally.

The examination of the responses to the new-institutionalist remedies reveals counterintuitive outcomes to allegedly successful market-enhancing reforms. The reforms were resisted and they failed to deliver the promise of improved entrepreneurial opportunities and eased social vulnerability. I suggest that the new-institutionalist prescriptions result in counterintuitive outcomes as they are based on two misleading assumptions. First, they read informal practices as a priori market-like and second, they see the transition to a market economy as a relatively harmonious process. I argue that, informal economic practices are not necessarily market-like, nor is the establishment of market-enhancing reforms uncontested by informally operating actors. Instead, the persons operating informally draw on non-commodified resources and suffer significant social and economic losses when the state-supported process of marketization deepens. The process of adjusting to marketization and coping with its costs inevitably involves elaboration of practices and interventions that defy and contradict the market logic. Precisely, this dismissal of the need for non-market-based solutions in current theory and practice leads to informalization of the resistance against marketization.

Researching institutions, actors and practices Abstract: This article aims at studying the articulation of different security models in the former Soviet space. On the one hand, it explores the extent to which an Eurasian system of security governance has emerged/is emerging; on the other hand, it advances the idea that security governance in the region results from the co-contribution of formal and informal security practices. In spite of several methodological limitations when tracing practices, the article presents a preliminary classification of the sources of informal security practices in the former Soviet space, and identifies two mechanisms to explain how regional security governance can be affected by informal security practices.

On the ideology of “informality” Abstract: The concept of “informality” was introduced by anthropologist Keith Hart in the 1970s to point to the economic significance of unregistered labour practices in Ghana. It constitutes an attempt to create a dialogue between anthropology’s local perspective and the state-centered theoretical framework of established social science and economics models derived primarily from the study and common sense of modern, Western society. The concept of “informality” can only be so successful because it accepts the basic premises and implicit ideology of the state-centered discourse it enters into. The concept tacitly acknowledges the analytically subordination of practices not bureaucratically registered. Stressing the importance of practices outside state registration and bureaucratic organisation in a wider interdisciplinary discourse remains valuable and much needed. Therefore the concept of “informality” rightfully continues to receive much attention. Yet, when it’s ideological baggage and analytical limitations are not recognized and reflected the concept becomes a contributing force in the ongoing naturalization of state power hegemony, global bureaucratization and the de-legitimization of non-state, non-bureaucratic modes of organization.

The study focuses on the practical accomplishment of the practice, and argues that the success of informal referrals is contingent upon the social distance between the referrer and the triage worker, and the ability of the former to act in accordance with the etiquette pertaining to informality. It also shows that participants in informal referrals jointly construct public secrecy, obscuring and obliquely revealing the true nature of the practice, in order to maintain their reputation and avoid repercussions for departing from formal rules and procedures. Public secrecy is practically accomplished by creating and maintaining an ambiguous definition of the situation; misrepresenting the practice; minimizing the transgression of formal rules; and shifting the focus away from informality, by embedding the practice into socially acceptable phenomena such as helping family members in need.

Analysing 11,131 face-to-face structured interviews conducted in 11 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries in 2013, a logit regression analysis reveals that some groups purchase from the informal economy to obtain a lower price, others for social or redistributive rationales, and yet others due to the failures of the formal economy in terms of the availability, speed and quality of provision. The implications for theorizing and tackling the informal economy are then explored.

How historical legacies influenced privatization strategies and outcomes in Brandenburg and Saxony Abstract: The incorporation of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) into the Federal Republic of Germany in 1990 meant the introduction of representative democracy and the model of a social market economy. The backbone of the West German “success model” was a strong set of small- and medium-sized companies – the so-called Mittelstand. This paper asks: 1) How did the governments of the newly formed states of Saxony and Brandenburg try to utilize their respective historical legacies to foster the build-up of a strong Mittelstand? 2) How did they use their imagined economic past to offer a narrative for state citizens and entrepreneurs? 3) Which strategies did they choose to engage with the federal privatization agency? While Brandenburg tried to profit from its geographical proximity to the new/old capital Berlin, the Saxon state government wanted to build on the success of Saxon entrepreneurship on the world market in the 1920s, with an attempt to ignore the changes of the post-1945 period. I argue that the latter approach in particular caused political collateral damage in the long-term, as the narrative lacked substance and contributed to a feeling of neglect in regions where the reality could hardly be reconciled with the official narrative.

Examining the “first wave” in 1992, this paper argues that the voucher privatization was an attempt at not just an economic, but also a moral transformation, bidding to turn postsocialist people into neoliberal subjects, while framing this change as a return to normality. It analyses various sources of public economics, advertising and mass journalism. The paper thus goes beyond the existing historiography to show that voucher privatization gained popular support because of its promise that people would become the active creators of their own future. It also exhibits the relevance of the memory of state socialism for the popular sense-making of the endeavour to privatize – both for its legitimation and scepticism towards it. The attempt to make people into neoliberal subjects by means of “democratic capitalism” ultimately reinstituted the hierarchy between economic elites and lay citizens, as the very idea of creating a citizen-investor remained only short-lived.

It demonstrates that both sides were strongly interested in cooperating with each other, but that there were also problems and ambiguities. Due to its rather “nationalist” privatization strategy, the Czech side was generally critical of foreign interference. Regarding German-Czech economic cooperation, it had to deal with painful memories of National Socialism as well as with restitution claims by (parts of) the expelled German population group. This fuelled the fear of German “colonization”, which could only partly be dispelled by the German side. In fact, German representatives often displayed a certain superiority, but at the same time knew rather little about the Czech Republic. The article concludes that 1989 was not a caesura in every respect, but that historical legacies played an important role during the 1990s. Furthermore, the example of German-Czech economic relations refutes narratives suggesting that the East adapted or assimilated to the West and makes it clear that the post-socialist transformation was a non-linear and conflictual transnational process.

First, it offers an overview of the results for the years 2017 and 2018 and estimates the shadow economy in the country at 38.3% of GDP for 2017 and 38.5% for 2018. Second, it suggests possible advantages in the use of direct methods to estimate the level of the shadow economy in a country and explore the motives pushing entrepreneurs to remain in the shadow. The discussion is then framed to conceptualize the distinction between shadow economy and informality. We conclude by suggesting that a better understanding of the entangled relations lying behind the reasons to stay in the shadow can help us better address the issue and propose measures that could help bring business out of the shadow.

Foreign traders and western negotiation studies in late-socialist Hungary Abstract: While the history of regime changes and the eventual embrace of pro-market reforms in Eastern Europe in the 1980s and 1990s is well-known, we know little about the socialist bureaucrats who implemented and often modified abstract party declarations on the relationship of socialist states to the West or to market reforms. Equally underexplored are the cultural stereotypes that guided East-West negotiations and the training of Eastern European technocrats who became negotiators with Western governments and corporations. Through the examination of the personal archives of socialist Hungary’s key “negotiation expert” and leading foreign trade advisor, János Nyerges, this article documents the attempt of Hungarian policy elites to beat Western corporations, banks, and governments at their own game – capitalism – by importing and adopting Western business negotiation practices, while leaving the communist party’s monopoly on power intact.

This paper examines the case of cinema in the Czech Republic and Poland. Using contemporary press sources, it traces how filmmakers responded to the new prominence of commercial cinema and their often-perceived loss of prestige and status of “autonomous artists”. Both the creative outputs and the discourse of filmmakers illustrate the changing values attached to the free market and to the purpose of cultural production in a market economy during transformation. Following a generational story, the paper establishes similarities between the discourse of different age groups of filmmakers in both countries; but at the same time, it accounts for the diverging acceptance of marketization by outlining country-specific differences: filmmakers searched for a language to critique or to affirm the transformation, their stance largely dependent on the extent to which they worked with inherited modes from the late socialist era, specific cultural traditions, and the financial conditions in which they operated.

Although this radical change in ownership structures is most often understood as belonging to the sphere of the economy, it also profoundly affected society and shared values. As historians are increasingly turning to the post-1989 period in Central and Eastern Europe, this introduction and special issue argue that economic and political history alone are not sufficient to investigate the process of privatization; approaches from social and cultural history are also necessary. Transformation, and privatization in particular, was the result of complex interactions between the economic policies of nation-states, the actions of transnational organizations and private corporations, the development of global capitalism, but also of local traditions, cultural stereotypes and representations, and the transformation of institutions other than political and economic ones. By taking into account this complex nexus of factors, we argue, historical research can bring a new quality to the existing social science work on postsocialist privatization and economic transformation more generally.

The pattern and origins of constitutional support in Germany Abstract: Academic studies have consistently demonstrated that citizens have lost trust in democratic institutions, grown sceptical of elected leaders, and become dissatisfied with how democracy works. These studies, however, neglect the analysis of some of the most important objects of the democracies they analyse. A case in point is the German constitution (Basic Law), which prescribes the values of German democracy and the institutions through which they are realized. By analysing 28 years of individual-level data from the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS), this article makes two important discoveries about attitudes towards the constitution. First, support for it is widespread, enduring and increasing amongst citizens in the east and west of the country. Second, generalized linear models demonstrate that this form of support is grounded in phenomena which provide it with durability. Postmaterialist values, centrist ideology, and age all nurture attachments to the constitution. These effects are confirmed by post-estimation analyses of average marginal effects. By demonstrating that German democracy is underpinned by a fund of enduring support, the research challenges suggestions of a crisis of democracy and concludes that Germans are not cynically rejecting of democracy, but critically democratic: they desire a fuller expression of the constitutional ideals.

The analysis reveals eight themes. The press has: (1) questioned the state’s legitimacy to govern, (2) characterized squatters as citizens; (3) sympathized with squatters; (4) de-legitimized controls on informal housing and the classes in power; (5) expressed resentment towards powerful elites which have also engaged in informal construction; (6) engaged in nostalgic reminiscing about the rule of law under socialism; (7) engaged in exclusionary discourse towards squatters; and (8) criminalized squatters. Given the region’s socialist legacy of egalitarianism, negative representations of squatters have been mostly symbolic and they have not significantly diminished their chances of bettering their lives in the city. Building “informality” is clearly a social construct, and its representations depend largely on the class, size, and political clout of the social groups engaged in informal construction.

While using Serbia as a case study, this article is concerned with the behaviour of political and economic power structures towards the media sector, as well as the decision of numerous journalists to embrace self-censorship due to external and in-house pressures. Consequently, I argue that it is not enough to blame different regimes alone for the precarious status of the journalistic profession, but also journalists themselves. By ignoring ethics and codes of conduct in the face of government propaganda and highly problematic agendas, journalists have simultaneously contributed to the erosion of their own profession. The article likewise suggests that international state and non-state actors can only provide evaluations and recommendations, but not the solution to the media crisis in Serbia and the regime’s preference for authoritarian rule.

This paper through a perception survey solicits the views held by think tankers from European stakeholder countries on the BRI. Although mixed views on the policy specifics of the BRI arise, the European respondents generally characterize the BRI as a positive development, which benfits their countries primarily in terms of connectivity and trade. Yet, the respondents’ enthusiasm is not unconditional, as references to the European Union’s role and interests permeate the survey responses. In general, those who value economic engagement with Beijing tend to view the BRI more favourably than those who prioritize ties with Brussels.

The former is not sincere to democracy and stateness principles as a functioning democracy requires, selling themselves to the public through democracy rhetoric, while actually moving in the opposite direction. The latter oppose it sincerely and try to correct it through means that are neither liberal nor democratic , and indeed do nothing more that prepare the terrain for an openly authoritarian regime.  This is brought forward by populist tendencies, accommodating  themselves  within nationalist and leftist political struggles. The paper will look at the populist developments in relationship to the current democratisation process Kosovo is undergoing, with specific focus on the political party Vetevendosje that represents the main proponent of populism in Kosovar party system. It draws analysis of the case study relevant to other contexts, considering how populism is structured within the system and embodied in populist organisation - political party, impacting and being impacted at the national and regional level. In addition, a particular emphasise is placed on populist developments in democratisation and system transformation process, as an added value to usual studies on populism in the consolidated democracies.

It was assumed that discursive manipulation would be different for the two countries, with the British maintaining a seemingly neutral position in reporting the tragic event, and the Ukrainians – more personally affected and therefore more biased – appearing more manipulative. The analysis methods applied included discursive, linguostylistic, and narratological approaches, as well as multimodal metaphor and metonymy, corpus, and CDA perspectives. The focus is on the social actors and the language of headlines, photo cuts related to them, and narratives. The BBC and TSN foreground some social agents involved in the MH17 tragedy and foreshadow others. The discursive strategies applied in the headlines reflect the ideological messages of the two countries and the broadcasters’ policies, as they focus on local representation, evinced by the vocabulary used and social actors mentioned, visual metaphors and metonymies at play. To create an intrigue matrix necessary for a successful narrative, the BBC offered stories in which the voices of victims are heard, while the TSN almost exclusively focused on official opinions.

In the pursuit of this goal, Budapest is actively flirting with Moscow and demonstrating its contempt for Brussels. At the same time, Budapest has also looked for alternative sources of gas in the Caucasus. And Baku emerged here as the most likely backup. The Hungarian-Azerbaijanian relationship has been a reflection of this new trend in global affairs, which was predicated on the absence of a clear global centre or even centres. In the new international environment, small states often have considerable room for manoeuvres, albeit not all countries could do this easily.

Work-life balance is one of the indicators actively implemented in the field. International migrants have specific well-being characteristics. The purpose of the present article is to investigate international migrants’ work-life balance using working time duration as an analytical tool, to trace the specific mechanisms applied by labour migrants from Ukraine for maintaining it and to identify factors which are extending and limiting migrants’ working hours abroad. It is proposed to use places of work and residence as a symbolic representation of “work” and “life” elements which have to be maintained in balance. Migrant workers usually have longer working hours compared to the local population. This is possible because of the work-home journeys reduction, communication and family obligations minimization in addition to the administrative barriers shrinking. The mechanism of inter-rhythmic work-life adjustment is introduced in the article. It implies that the prevalence of work in a certain cycle of activity can be balanced by the increased presence of an opposing element (rest) within the rhythm with a reduced frequency of oscillation. This means that daily work-life imbalance can be corrected within weekly, seasonal or annual rhythms.

In fact, these studies are characterized by a focus on legal and technical issues and by a dearth of empirical research. The result is a static and unvaried literature that isolates itself from the international debate on anti-corruption, missing the opportunity to contribute to global scholarship, but that also reflects the difficulty for researchers of conducting independent research in Russia. Comparing domestic and external works, this article explains how they have evolved differently, failing to establish a dialogue and a collaboration, and provides further evidence of the barriers to overcome to strengthen the Russian production of knowledge, especially in the social sciences.

The main argument is that the limitation of freedom of assembly provided the state-owned broadcaster with a new means of delegitimizing the current enemies. The dominant strategy, outcasting, assumed the categorizing of political opponents as madmen and criminals. By showing the protesters as notorious and multiple offenders, the state television diminished their credibility and deprived them of legitimacy in their political roles in order to stabilize antidemocratic tendencies and reduce the threat of political system breakdown that came from ordinary Poles whose non-compliance took the form of protests and oppositional actors responsible for organizing resistance. The media also addressed the risk stemming from intra-elite splits. The opposition to the democratic backsliding, erosion of the rule of law, and political rights violations, which deviated from the ruling party’s course, was on a par with a revolt over the government. Gaining support for the ruling party and taking it away from its opponents aimed to limit dissidents’ resources and the need to repress them.

Most importantly, domestic politics reveal the corrupted environment of the 1990s and early 2000s, which allowed Polish and Russian political, commercial and private actors to engage in rent seeking activities. The collusion between the two sets of actors had a detrimental effect on the way in which the debate concerning Polish energy security has developed. Furthermore, corruption scandals that brought to the open murky dealings between the Russian oil and gas sectors and Polish political actors, have not only kept generating interest around the question of the country’s energy security but also further fuelled concerns about Russia’s real intentions.

This representation overlaps with identified developments in the gender order and how these relate to the disputed Cold War discourse. The focus on visual representations gives us a novel perspective on the intersection of technology, gender and geopolitics and what it can tell us about the ways in which competing versions of modernity have been shaped. We find that in the 1969-1989 period, applied chemical research is primarily portrayed as interaction between women and chemical equipment, making the face of applied chemical research distinctly feminine. This is in line with the definition of socialist modernity through a stress on women’s emancipation and equality as part of the liberation of society as such. However, a detailed visual discourse analysis reveals that this visual representation is less about applied chemical research and more about femininity defined around a singular understanding of motherhood. The gradual dehumanization of chemical research in the visual material resonates with the onset of political and economic change around 1989 marked by a radical change in the overall visual culture.

It was amongst others conceptual art “which liberated photography and made it possible to accept it as equivalent to other artistic media.” (Krizic Roban 2011). Photography was integrated into artistic creation as well as communication, but was also researched analytically in order to extend the possibilities of conventional art production. In the arts already in the early 1960s photography was turned into a self-reflexive, critical medium that escaped rationalization or institutionalization completely. Directness and physicality were not only true for a radical “Western” photo-scene, but also to certain artists using photography behind the Iron Curtain. “Radical juxtaposition” and/or the “collage principle” were methods lent from happenings or avant-garde theater movements (Nudelman 2014) and applied to the originally visual medium. This special issue focuses on the central questions of why photography became a main mediator of performance art during real existing socialism and how it merged to a notion of photo-performance in post-totalitarian times? Compared to Jones’ case studies the topics the issue will be dealing with weren’t having the social, political, economic and cultural background of late capitalism and therefore were reacting to (or ignoring!) a different ideology and its failures. The background might have been different but the essays will not emphasize a complete isolation between the Blocs. With the proposed special issue, the contributors are posing the still urgent inquiry of what kind of methodology does a scholar of Eastern, Central and South East European performance history require to work on photo-performance and performance photography in times of ideological warfare? And, to put it more provocatively, if a different methodology is needed at all?

Because of the manner in which performance art developed in the region, remaining mainly an alternative form of art, artists preserved their work visually for a range of reasons: as evidence of it having occurred, as a witness to the event, for a future audience that could someday appreciate it, or to be sent abroad as mail art – one of the few ways artists could participate in international exhibitions and networks if they were unable to travel abroad, which they often were. Unlike in Western Europe and North America, where performance attempted to eschew the grasp of commodification, in Central and Eastern Europe, artists did not want their performative work to remain ephemeral. This article will demonstrate how documentation played a very important role in insuring its longevity, and argue that rather than creating performances to avoid commodification, artists deliberately used the camera to preserve these ephemeral acts, either for distribution at the time, or as a record of the event. It will also show how artists developed innovative ways to integrate this essential tool, the camera, into their actions.

Examining most particularly a planned, joint participation at the 10th Paris Biennial in 1977 together with Jan Mlčoch, and Štembera’s correspondence with French art critic François Pluchart, present essay discusses interpretations of the artist’s work that traveled to, and through Western Europe. The author argues that the distribution of photographs and texts completed and extended the artist’s range of action and reception, providing, on the one hand, a mediated experience of Štembera’s performances and actions for those who couldn’t physically attend them and, on the other hand, for the artist representing a channel of communication and exchange about his work.

They are event-based artworks that are conceived for the photographic medium, carried out in front of it and fixated by it. Along this rough definition, conceptual artists in Socialist Yugoslavia experimented with photo-performance in the 1970s and 80s and got interested in the serial aspect this art form allows. In this paper, I take a closer look at photo-performances by Neša Paripović (Examples of Analytical Sculpture, 1978), Sanja Iveković (Triangle, 1979), Tomislav Gotovac (Integral/Tom, Proposal for a Sexy Magazine, 1978) and Maja Savić and Paja Stanković (Synchronized Movements/Paths, 1979). Though very different, these works – that were all completed almost the same year – display similar formal features and patterns. They are intriguing series of photographs showing performing bodies and staging configurations of the Two. I will try in several steps to disentangle complex issues within the discussed photo-performances around the range of possible modes of authorship, their manifesting fields of power, the staging of the Gaze in them, and, at the level of interpretation, its transgressive potential of queering.

This manipulation resulted in the reconfiguration of the mimetic relation with reality, usually associated with photography. While Galeta experiments with the expanded notion of photography and creates works in which visual identities of people are being destabilized through a meticulous process of dissolving and juxtaposing layers of different images in the photo-lab, Željko Jerman is using photo-chemicals to produce texts and traces on the sensitive photo paper. In an attempt to decipher how this type of performative approach to photography questions and subverts not only the medium and materiality but how it addresses socialist society, especially its aesthetic regime (and its subsequent political ideal), the text outlines a possible anti-mimetic notion of photography. In other words, the deconstruction of mimetic and imitative qualities of photography is reflected in relation to its political and social consequences.

Contrary to the live and ephemeral character of performance art, after 1971, harsh political, economic and cultural conditions forced performance art into the private sphere, again entailing the necessity of self-historicization and self-promotion. A context like this transformed photography from a documentary evidence into a conceptual medium that could circulate as an object. The author proposes several categories according to which photography functioned as an iconic supplement of the missing action, and an attempt to reveal and question on how photographic images re-enact the past event for the contemporary observer. However, the text argues that, despite the important influence of social and institutional conditions of production, these artworks focused primarily on the artistic process and its aesthetic autonomy, and less on a political agenda beyond them.

The approach the author implements, situates post-communist art in a global art world without neglecting its site-specific context. This case study of Romanian performance art, Alexandra Pirici’s and Manuel Pelmus’ project An Immaterial Retrospective of the Venice Biennale realized at the Romanian pavilion in 2013, questioned euro-centrist and national power structures in the history of the Venice Biennale. The two artists’ site-specific project re-evaluated strategies of institutional critique and challenged the hegemony of the global canon as well as pointed to gaps in the art historical narrative. Photography in its archival structure works as the performances’ starting point rather than its documentation and becomes part of a concept of self-historization which merged with the contemporary artistic language of performance and supported the artists’ recognition at the international art context of the Biennale. The political implications of the body’s presence and activism are broadened by considering a specific notion of individuality that opposes the socialist understanding of the national collective body. This particular post-communist art project revealed the continuity of Eastern European art practices across the Iron Curtain going beyond temporal and local containment.

After 1945, such stereotypes were reinforced by the Cold War East–West divide. From the 1980s to 2007, European integration brought about substantial “de-Orientalization” of most of Europe’s former communist states. Since 2008, unfortunately, further headway in these directions has been seriously jeopardized by recent “wrong turns”, crises and setbacks in the European integration process, above all by the ill-conceived Eurozone project.

The opening moment analyses the culturalization of the Eastern region's identity and its impact on the continental map. The second stage will shift the perspective to the particular level of the Eastern region itself, where an account of the events surrounding the Romanian “coup d’e´tat” from the summer of 2012 will track down the effects of the culturalist discourse in the internal social dynamic of the region, and its gradual overlapping with the class divide. Finally, once the issue of class is touched, the very adventures of the culturalist discourse will take us back to the transnational level, where the culturalist discourse could overcome the structural issue of class struggle.

The recalibration of national interest had an impact on the new prioritizations of research focus and agendas. This article shall discuss this phenomenon in Finland that has been traditionally a stronghold of the Russian and East European studies. The article analyses how Russian and East European Studies went through major transitions on three main levels (a) the politics of science; (b) the institutional structures in the university environment; and (c) the substance of scholarship.

And If So, Why Do We Need Area Studies of It? Abstract: Eastern Europe is more than only a pure geographical term; it is an invention of the eighteenth century. Later, it became a catchword for the Soviet bloc. The puzzle consists in the fact that it did not disappear after the end-of-state socialism. The paper presents good causes as to why there should be further pursuing of an academic discipline of area studies on Eastern Europe. The thesis will be demonstrated by resuming the discussion about the nature of state socialism.

Abstract: The eastern European revolutions of 1989 and the fall of the Stalinist regimes were treated by many analysts and commentators as signalling the end of the contemporary form of social revolution. The defeat of “communism” had apparently removed the possibility of any systemic alternative to capitalism, which now emerges as the telos of history. Henceforth, the only conceivable revolutions were regime-changing political revolutions, a claim that appeared to be supported by the subsequent Colour Revolutions and the Arab Spring. This interpretation is, however, based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the Stalinist regimes and the revolutions which created them. Following an analysis of the categories of political and social revolution, and the different varieties of the latter, the article will argue that Stalinism has to be seen, on the one hand, as the counter-revolution (in Russia) and, on the other, as contemporary bourgeois revolutions (everywhere else), leading to forms of state capitalism in both cases. From this perspective, the negative effect of the Stalinist regimes on the formation of revolutionary consciousness was not their downfall, but their existence and the distorted idea of socialism which they perpetuated. The article concludes by arguing that, while there are indeed obstacles to the resumption of socialist revolution as a goal, these are more to do with the defeats inflicted on the international worker’s movement by neoliberalism than by the events of 1989.

Human rights are portrayed as a catalyst, alighting a revolutionary ethos within those living in the Eastern Bloc. By depicting 1989 as the result of a mass moral epiphany regarding universal human rights, such narratives naturalize and depoliticize the collapse of state socialism. While the discourse of human rights was important in unifying dissident groups, it had also been used to by socialist states to legitimize dictatorial rule. During the Arab Spring, international commentators and local actors invoked this mythological version of 1989 to declare that a similar awakening was once again taking place and that human rights were sure to triumph over dictatorship. The example of Egypt appeared to mirror that of 1989 with mass demonstrations for human rights, prompting optimism that a similar revolutionary change was inevitable. Instead, the successful reassertion of military dictatorship has been legitimized in the name of protecting human rights. In viewing the end of state socialism as the result of the proliferation of human rights consciousness, the mythology of 1989 creates a tragically flawed model for reform and revolution.

Colour revolutions and the Arab Spring as recent examples of civic activity have made the idea even more topical, presenting a valuable opportunity for investigating this connection in modern contexts beyond the Western world. This paper looks at the role played by civil societies in the course of revolutions and their aftermath in Ukraine, Georgia, Tunisia and Egypt, assessing their contribution to the democratic transitions of post-Soviet and MENA regions. It does so by looking at civil society as an agent of democracy, in four countries before, during and after the revolutions.

Within the wider theoretical debate of the causes, processes and outcomes of revolutions the paper will focus on the international political dimensions of the revolutionary situations as distinct from the revolutionary outcomes. The article will disentangle and conceptualize the international politics surrounding these revolutionary situations. The paper will propose a framework of analysis of international politics in revolutionary situations by drawing not only on the Egyptian Uprising but also on the Gezi Uprising in Turkey in the same region. We argue that the role of the international should be neither downplayed nor exaggerated at the expense of domestic agency, and we need to combine structural and agential elements as we build a conjunctional understanding of international factors in revolutionary situations. In studying a region where the involvement of international factors during periods of domestic political change is complex, we need the same complexity in our frameworks of analysis and such frameworks will contribute to comparative studies of revolutionary situations.

It provides the example of a country in the process of transition a decade and a half after the collapse of the Soviet system and discusses findings from both quantitative and qualitative investigations conducted over a two-year period of analysis. Using news values and agenda-setting as the methodological framework, the paper draws on additional comparative research into similar coverage by France’s 20 Heures and BBC’s News at Ten to emphasize how, in portrayals of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Russian state-aligned media is widely employed as an instrument within Putin’s nation-building campaign.

The heroic acts of martyrs are recounted and recited repeatedly within communities, and their representations become a strong element in nationalistic narratives. The martyrs of the January Events in 1991 in Lithuania became crucial symbols in the official revolutionary narrative after the reestablishment of the state. Their role of “national hero” was established through honours given to them after their deaths, multiple memorials, and naming streets after them. Similarly, the role of shahid [martyr] is prominent in the narratives of the 25th of January revolution in Egypt. These deaths and their commemoration became both a cause generating societal outrage towards the regime and an inspirational example of revolutionary acts. Tributes to the martyrs are still being paid in a variety of revolutionary mediums, from poetry to graffiti.This article explores how stories of martyrs in both revolutions were constructed to gain the greatest appeal, what forms they took, and how they were propagated through various means of communication. Analysing examples from each revolution, it examines the stories of a few martyrs that had to challenge arguments contradicting them, and how eventually, they were absorbed into dominating revolutionary meta-narratives.A few months after the Egyptian Revolution, in February 2011 (https://tahrirmonologues.wordpress.com/), a popular storytelling theatre project Tahrir Monologues was performed. It aimed to preserve the memory of the revolution, as it was kept in numerous urban stories retold in Cairo coffee shops, accurately crafted to spin the revolutionary remembrance, which was already starting to fade. One particular story was told by the Egyptian activist Sally Zohny. She was sharing a story about dozens of condolences she and her family had received after she was mistaken for Sally Zahran, the famous Egyptian martyr. She finished her performative fragment with touching phrases referring to the fragility of life and the higher cause of revolution and concluded with the already renowned phrase “I could have been Sally Zahran”. In the following days, a YouTube video of the performance reached high popularity on the internet, when it was widely shared among the Egyptian and foreign activists on social media. Its key phrase “I could have been Sally Zahran” and its slight variation “I wish I could have been Sally Zahran” accompanied the video as a Facebook or Twitter post (see the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKbzQTQtZww). Both the performance and its popularity in social media demonstrate what a central role martyrs’ stories played during the revolution, and how they became the “faces” of the revolution, objects of empathy and sources of collective identity. Moreover, it shows a significant shift in traditional martyrs’ mythologies: from state or elite constructed national heroes to rather mundane figures, created by popular narratives, who have sacrificed their life for a greater good. The “new martyrs” are every-day people; the “unwilling victims” randomly struck by “the cruel fist of the regime”. During the revolutionary and post-revolutionary period many people via different media, from Facebook to theatre, expressed their solidarity by empathizing and identifying themselves with the martyrs, demonstrating that they were ready actually or symbolically to take their place. Many “wanted to be Sally Zahran”.

The case of Hungary among the post-socialist transition countries is puzzling for several reasons. Although the Hungarian transition has often been characterized as smooth and successful, a look at the human dimension of the transformation reveals large costs and a slow improvement. Based on the analysis of 29 articles we provide a systematic review of the empirical evidence about the social determinants of mortality in post-socialist Hungary establishing a hierarchy of causes. Socio-economic position, mental health, social capital, alcohol consumption, stress and social integration are the most important explanatory variables that received attention by the researchers. Although economic policies might have played a central role in the rise of mortality there is no empirical research on the political economy of health in Hungary. No critical analysis of post-socialism can be complete without assessing the human costs of economic transformation. Social scientists have much to learn from social epidemiologists who have designed robust methodologies and complex theoretical frameworks to analyse the political economic determinants of health.

Abstract: The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has been one of the persistent disputes in the Post-Soviet spaces since its outbreak. There have been various peace proposals by the regional and international mediation for halting the fighting and ensuring the peaceful resolution of the conflict between two South Caucasian countries. These include the peace initiative of Kazakhstan and Russia, the mediation efforts of Iran and Turkey, the resolutions of the United Nation Security Council, and the peace proposals of the OSCE Minsk Group. However, despite all these efforts, there has not been any substantive progress on bringing parties to the conflict closer to an agreement due to the various internal and external factors. In this regard, the aim of this research paper is to investigate the peace initiative of Iran from the outset of the conflict until the signing of the Tehran Declaration in May 1992 and then to analyse the failure of Iran’s mediation efforts.

This incapacity is not just a marginal phenomenon but tends to be a syndrome. Against this background, this article addresses two interrelated questions. The first part develops a theoretical argument concerning post-Soviet developments, anchored in social theory. It underlines that how well democratic and legal institutions are going to function is determined, partly but not only, by the level of general social differentiation in a given society at the time of the introduction of these institutions. For such complexity to develop, a central state with a certain level of institutionalization, and with infrastructural, and not primarily repressive, capacity, is a necessary precondition. The second, empirical, part tries then to identify the variation that nevertheless exists in terms of democracy, state capacity and rule of law, between the post-Soviet states. As the recent, and promising, case of Georgia demonstrates, the crucial post-Soviet challenge is to break monolithic power structures. By increasing economic autonomy, a process that also strengthens societal complexity can start to evolve.

Using samples of promotional materials published by Pontis, I analyze Pontis’ discursive constructions of legitimation and interviews with respondents from Pontis. My analysis shows that documents published by Pontis do indeed depoliticize unequal power relations, for example, by highlighting the importance of education. I also find that the Foundation’s employees, with the exception of one who comments on the organization’s apolitical stance, exclude politics from their personal perspectives. The article also discusses the question of intentionality in the depoliticizing discourse and the question of the way ideology works in relation to depoliticization.

In particular, the study focuses on administrative corruption in the form of bribe extortion for routine governmental actions, such as issuing permits, licences and work orders. The paper uses a survey and in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs in three Russian regions characterized by different levels of entrepreneurial activities: Moscow, Saint Petersburg and the republic of Karelia. The results of the study demonstrate that only a small fraction of entrepreneurs file complaints to entrepreneurial organizations in situations of bribe extortion. The paper analyzes political, social and organizational factors that decrease the effectiveness of anti-corruption activities of Russian entrepreneurial organizations. Due to a low level of cohesion, the Russian business community is unable to counteract corruption, while local protests by entrepreneurs against administrative injustice fail to mobilize massive numbers of participants.

It is not caused by post-Soviet Russia’s unwillingness to follow the road of Western democratic capitalism. In broader context, ethnic violence in Russia and elsewhere could be framed in the context of a broader picture – it is the peculiar manifestation of global shifts, which could be seen in the context of Spenglerian “decline of the West.” Ethnic and racial violence in Russia and the West have a lot of similarities, it is often conflict between two different cultures. One is “premodern”/criminal and the other manifests modernity with self-controlled “civic society.” Still, riots in Russia are clearly different from one perspective. In the West (e.g. the USA) it is minorities who launch the riots; it is the majority who do the same in Russia. The ethnic riots in Stavropol’ (2007) could be here a good example.

Abstract: This essay discusses the 2018 path to autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church – the establishment of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. I argue that the move towards autocephaly was dictated primarily by politico-ideological reasons and was accompanied by the rise of confrontation and a lack of cooperation. The majority of Orthodox believers, belonging to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, opposed this process, which made them the subject of intimidation campaigns. Overall, the move towards autocephaly, instead of uniting Ukrainians, has only brought about new dividing lines in Ukraine and has contributed to the split in global Orthodoxy.

The authors defend a thesis that, although political elites and the state underwent pressure from the Church, the society had many opportunities to separate its religious beliefs from its own political choices, begin the slow process of secularization and learn the lessons of Enlightenment in this part of Europe. The political pressure of the Church on parliamentarians and its alliance with right-wing politicians is presented through the example of the In Vitro Fertilization Act. The authors analyse statements of the episcopate and speeches of right-wing politicians during a debate in the Senate. The article also refers to surveys to show a growing gap between the clerical state and the increasingly secularized society. Furthermore, the authors describe the growing political and religious alliance of “throne and altar” – especially under PiS rule – and the predominance of nationalist and conservative ideas in the Catholic Church in Poland.

It identifies financialisation and export industrialization as the two main pillars of the development model. The extremely extraverted character of the development model entails significant external vulnerabilities. In addition, it is characterized by very uneven internal development patterns. As a strategic alternative, the article proposes the development of a third, more inward looking pillar with a particular focus on the rather peripheral regions.

An emergent social actor approach, however, has explained employers as engaging in the informal economy when there is a lack of vertical trust (i.e., their norms, values and beliefs are not in symmetry with the relevant laws and regulations) and horizontal trust (i.e., they believe many others are being non-compliant). The aim of this paper is to evaluate these competing perspectives by reporting a 2015 survey of 450 employers in FYR Macedonia. The finding is that although there is no association between employers using unregistered workers and the perceived level of penalties and risks of detection, there is a strong significant association with both the level of vertical and horizontal trust. Those whose beliefs do not align with the laws and regulations display a significantly greater likelihood of employing unregistered workers, as do those who perceive a larger proportion of the population to be engaged in the informal economy. The theoretical and policy implications are then discussed.

One stresses that education furthers liberal ideals, regularly theorized as the view that democracy sustains open societies. The other maintains there is no coherent “party of the educated” that has an impact on politics. This debate rose a notch when some highly educated European states recently turned towards less open societies. This paper argues that the causal connections among education, politics, and open societies need to be situated within a broader set of social and data contexts to grasp how education can promote open societies.

Yet the political and social situation has changed in Serbia since 2012 and the rise to power of the former Yugoslav warmonger, Aleksandar Vučić, who currently serves as the country’s president. This article analyzes discursive governance tactics in Serbia, wherein, led by President Vučić, discourse fractures into rhetoric offered to the international community, and rhetoric promulgated within the country. Furthermore, there is a significant difference between official and unofficial governmental discourses, which is referred to in this article as fractured discursivity. Whilst xenophobia (and corresponding nationalism) is almost nonexistent in foreign relations, they are used as rhetorical strategies within the country, in a stronger fashion when it comes to unofficial discourse. Fractured discursivity is developed as a theoretical view, drawing upon existing theories of discourse and politics, in order to offer a lens through which the difference in rhetoric and discursive governance strategies can be explained.

Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s take on biopolitics, this paper asks how biopolitics and sovereign power materialized in two recent Polish parliamentary debates on EU sanctioned refugee quotas. The paper uses linguistic tropes to operationalize sovereign power and applies them to the analysis. The findings demonstrate the centrality of contingent factors in the ways to which biopolitics materializes in the debates and reveals the radically politicizing effects for a contemporary democratic system.

Citizenship, discussed especially in the context of bioethical considerations, reflects an ideologically polarized conflict about human nature rather than the simple mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion typical for post-ideological biopolitics. The article describes such a perspective and investigates post-socialist Polish biopolitics to outline the possible levels of analysis and to present how the concept of citizenship may be used to better understand contemporary power relations.

In particular, the research addresses practices of the promotion of liberal democracy as forms of biopolitical governmentality pursued by Western state and non-state actors towards and in Georgia, raising the question of what the mechanisms of adoption and “domestication” of this knowledge by recipients with significantly different cultural, social and political systems are and how these could be applied by post-Soviet countries to construct their own sovereign projects. Based on in-depth interviews with representatives of the US, EU and German foundations and institutions, such as OSI, USAID, GIZ, the Millennium Challenge Corporations, as well as with Georgian think tank experts, politicians and practitioners, conducted in 2015–2017 in Washington, DC and Tbilisi, the author of the article discusses the experts’ assessment of implementing Western techniques of governance to Georgia and then demonstrates how Georgia itself uses them as part of its own biopolitical programmes towards break-away Abkhazia.

The research uses the methodological paradigm of biopower and biopolitics, as outlined by Michel Foucault and further critically developed by Giorgio Agamben, since it helps to better understand both the oppressive nature of the Russian state, and the protest art of Pavlensky. The article seeks to unpack the struggle for the human body that has started in Russia in recent years, with the state imposing its normalizing and regulatory mechanisms upon private lives and corporeal practices of individuals, and people’s responses by re-claiming their bodies, from an open public discussion of sexuality, domestic violence and gender equality, to the radical exposure of the body by artists like Pavlensky. As the argument goes, the centerpiece of political controversy is not just the battle for the human body, but a battle for sovereignty, defining the limits of state intervention, the borders of the political community and the rights of the individual. The article asks a number of questions: how Pavlensky’s performances can be explained within the framework of the biopolitical regime of Putin’s rule? Whether Pavlensky’s use of his own body for political purposes (a “biopolitical art’ of sorts) is a response to the increased biopolitical intervention of the Russian state that has marked Putin’s third term in office? Why did political protest become corporeal? How does the individual body turn into a tool for political contestation and how does it embody collective meanings? How the politicization of the body transpires, and how an individual body can incarnate a collective body of nation?

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) covers a broad network of railways, pipelines, ports, and roads and involves more than 60 countries. Among these countries are the 16 Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) with whom China already set up the 16+1 forum in 2012. Both the 16+1 forum and the BRI project emphasize the enhancement of connectivity, cooperation, trade, and cultural exchange between China and the CEEC. Since their establishment, there has been a lot of discussion in IR scholarship about what these large-scale initiatives entail. This article argues that the 16+1 and the BRI give China the possibility of increasing its economic and political influence in the Central and Eastern Europe by using, on the one hand, economic carrots and promises and, on the other hand, by gaining soft power on the basis of cultural exchange and high-level diplomatic dialogue. While a big discrepancy remains between the objectives and the economic outcomes of the 16+1 and the BRI, this Hirschmanesque strategy with Chinese characteristics currently works to the advantage of the initiator.

To date, sceptical forecasts have identified Ukraine’s blurred EU accession perspective and the enduring volatility of its socio-economic institutions as the main cause for reluctant marketization. Drawing on a critical institutionalist approach, this article highlights the fact that Ukraine’s market for corporate control has undergone marketization to some extent. It delineates how inherent tendencies of the capitalist mode of production and the specific interplay between the state, transnational and domestic fractions of capital shape the marketization of corporate control in Ukraine. Foreign direct investment of transnational corporations from the Western European capitalist core has made Ukraine’s market for corporate control more active. Foreign investors together with domestic capital fractions successfully advocated a more market-enabling merger control regime, while the state and oligarchic capital fractions have simultaneously hampered these marketization dynamics and opted for the maintenance of market-correcting regulatory elements. A critical institutionalist approach allows us to shed light on mechanisms and dimensions which often go unnoticed in the literature on institutional change on the EU periphery.

The overall social and health status of most of population in the last 29 years in the world and here, especially in Romania, is so obvious that it seems that new empirical researches would add nothing to our understanding. But they add, and a lot, if they respect the scientific standards. Poincaré’s theory about the distinction between the detection of social facts and their measurement helps us to be more exigent towards the social studies and to tackle them critically. This tackling means just to putting their (neo-liberal) presumptions and solutions, and on the other hand, the real situation face to face.

They engage in undeclared work when the benefits outweigh the costs. Participation is thus deterred by increasing the sanctions and/or probability of being caught. Recently, however, an alternative social actor approach has emerged which views participants as engaging in undeclared work when their norms, values and beliefs (i.e. citizen morale) do not align with laws and regulations (i.e. state morale). Here, therefore, initiatives to develop greater symmetry between civic and state morale are pursued. To evaluate the validity and effectiveness of these competing explanations and policy approaches, 2,004 face-to-face interviews conducted in Bulgaria in late 2015 are reported. Logit marginal effects regression analysis reveals no association between participation in undeclared work and the perceived level of penalties and risk of detection, but a strong significant association with the level of asymmetry between citizen and state morale; the greater the asymmetry, the higher is the likelihood of participation in undeclared work. The paper concludes by discussing the implications for explaining and tackling undeclared work.

Drawing on primary observations of an Albanian electoral district in the second round of the municipal elections in Macedonia in 2017, I illustrate that a sophisticated and well-conceived electoral code, as well as competent staff at the electoral station could be insufficient to eradicate all forms of corruption completely. Despite their best efforts, election boards were frequently unable to prevent family and group voting of the traditional segments of the population. Even after being told not to do so, traditional men either frequently assisted one or several traditional women in filling out the ballot or literally filled it out for them.

Relations between the socialist state and women were dynamic and changed over time. In the first post-war period, many women hoped that the new political order would improve their lives. The industrialization of the country led to the professional activation of women and changed their places of residence, social positions and lifestyles. However, the more the ideology of social justice proclaimed by the state differed from everyday experience, the more often the attitudes of women, as well as the rest of society, shifted from support to criticism. In the 1980s, a large part of the opposition and the Solidarity movement was composed of women, but there were also patriarchal relationships in those structures.Abbreviations:SDKP – Socjaldemokracja Królestwa Polskiego [Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland party]PPS – Polska Partia Socjalistyczna [Polish Socialist Party]PPR – Polska Partia Robotnicza [Polish Workers’ Party] Journal: Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe Pages: 283-298 Issue: 2-3 Volume: 26 Year: 2018 Month: 9 X-DOI: 10.1080/25739638.2018.1551285 File-URL: http://hdl.handle.net/10.1080/25739638.2018.1551285 File-Format: text/html File-Restriction: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.

The failure to overcome the national 5% hurdle in 2002 was an unexpected, yet. as will be shown here – largely self-inflicted, blow for the party. It managed to garner just 4% of the vote (16.8% in the eastern part of the country; 1.1% in the West) and, as Table 1 shows, its electoral losses in the new,e1>Länder were devastating. In total, the party obtained under two million votes (1,915,797). This was a reduction of some 600,000 from four years earlier and it translated into 35 fewer seats in the Bundestag.

It was thought that up to 372,000 workers took strike action, and that many of these participated, along with several hundred thousand others, in marches, rallies, occupations and other forms of direct action. Much was known about the sequence of events, the demands voiced, and about some of the individuals involved. As the first of several mass uprisings against Stalinist regimes, but doubtless also due to the breathtaking speed with which a strike at a Berlin building site spread to other workplaces and thence to streets and public squares nationwide, it attracted a good deal of attention from historians. An abundance of books, articles and pamphlets followed.

Lenin is sometimes said to have joked that German revolutionaries would not storm a railway station without first buying a platform ticket. The stereotype of the German national character is that of the law-abiding, authority-fearing, deferential Michel, portrayed in cartoons with a nightcap and big wide eyes as if just awoken from his slumber by the harsh realities of the world. The French, by contrast, enjoy a reputation as perennial revolutionaries, ready to build barricades at the drop of a liberty cap. Such stereotypes, of course, owe everything to the nineteenth century when France was repeatedly in the vanguard of the overthrow of the ancien regime in Europe while Germany, the half-hearted attempt in 1848 (A.J.P. Taylor's “turning point where Germany failed to turn’) apart, seemed content to amble along at the rear. To that extent, the stereotype gives expression to an actual reality as all stereotypes do. But the twentieth century has been remarkably different: the – in historical-comparative terms. – mild unrest of the Front populaire period in 1935–36 and of course les évènements of May 1968 apart, France has had a quiet century, disturbed only by the neighbour from the other bank of the Rhine who, in sharp contrast to his previous somnolence, erupted into regular frenzies of tearing down and rebuilding his political order. The image of a revolutionary tide comes to mind, sloshing across Europe over the centuries: beginning with the English civil wars of the seventeenth century, continuing eastwards across France at the end of the eighteenth, passing over Germany and Austria in the nineteenth to reach Russia in the early twentieth, only to eddy back into Germany in 1918. History does not work like that, of course, although the mental image is striking and a more sophisticated analysis might suggest an explanation of the pattern in terms of the spatial unevenness of European capitalist development.

Yet aspects of East Germany's democratisation have proved amenable to comparative approaches. This article reviews the comparative literature that refers to East Germany, and finds a schism between those who designate East Germany's transition “regime collapse” and others who contend that it exemplifies “transition through extrication”. It inquires into the merits of each position and finds in favour of the latter. Drawing on primary and secondary literature, as well as archival and interview sources, it portrays a communist elite that was, to a large extent, prepared to adapt to changing circumstances and capable of learning from “reference states” such as Poland. Although East Germany was the Soviet state in which the positions of existing elites were most threatened by democratic transition, here too a surprising number succeeded in maintaining their position while filing across the bridge to market society. A concluding section outlines the alchemy through which their bureaucratic power was transmuted into property and influence in the “new Germany”.

Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyse the pattern and nature of co-operation between the Green parties of the Czech Republic and Germany. Given the disparity in size and political importance of the two parties, initially the article seeks to account for this discrepancy by detailing the very different circumstances in which the two parties came into existence. Similarly, we examine the burden of history that weighs upon contemporary Czech–German relations. The article then moves on to discuss how the two parties under examination seek to improve ties between the Czech and German populations and overcome the dilemmas of the past. It concludes by investigating the reasons for the apparent failure of either party to alter to any significant manner the overall framework of discourse regarding Czech–German relations in either country. 1 The authors wish to thank the British Academy for their support through LRG-35361 in the preparation of this article. They also wish to thank Jenny Hedström for her comments on earlier drafts.

Largely forgotten, Havemann deserved to be remembered as one of the leading dissidents of the German Democratic Republic and as a courageous and outspoken critic of state injustices. A leading physicist at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute during the Third Reich and until the mid-1960s in the GDR, Havemann grew from being a loyal Party man in the early years of the GDR, to its fiercest intellectual critic and indeed his generation's conscience during the last two decades of his life.

The URDP were unique in being the last such organisation comprising actual citizens of the USSR since the Left Opposition and constituted a distinctive critical Marxist current. Participants in the resurgent Ukrainian movement of the 1940s they provided an analysis which stood apart from the “integral nationalist” and liberal democratic schools. From their analysis of the Soviet system as a form of "state-capitalism" they developed a prognosis of future developments which was remarkably accurate and has been overlooked by transitologists and writers of communist and post-communist studies.

Using Sartre's polemical essay “Elections: A trap for fools” as a foil, I contend that the contemporary practice of representative democracy in Poland fails to engage the electorate and functions to mediate the systemic exclusions produced by post-Socialist neoliberalism. The article explores the elections’ dual nature by analysing the electoral geography of two areas inhabited by national minorities. Since national minorities’ participation in the decisions that affect them has been a key goal of the European New Minority Rights regime, their experience of democracy in Poland highlights tensions operative through the Polish political economy.

Yet, for several decades before 2001, European economic integration resulted in de facto soft balancing of US primacy within the West, and the 1991 claim for a EU security role began to counterbalance US leadership in European security. Soft balancing between friends is tempered by economic interdependence and more difficult to detect than counterbalancing by China or Russia. Yet, EU soft balancing is as real as US counter-counterbalancing. Asymmetrical roles in the NATO alliance still reflect the post-1945 transatlantic balance of power in spite of the EU's growing economic weight. In the post-1991 security environment, however, the EU can pursue a symmetrical partnership. US security leadership in Europe is still welcomed by European Atlanticists. However, the European Security and Defence Policy of 1999 and the European Security Strategy of 2003, together with the development of a European Defence Industrial and Technological Base and first EU crisis management missions in the Balkans and Africa, have given substance to the EU's claimed security role. De facto soft balancing by the EU is transforming the West and also advancing the transition to multipolarity.

The author's authority derives from a long personal involvement in Former Yugoslavia and a complete reading of the transcripts of the trial of Milosevic before the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia. Evidence is drawn from statements of the British and American peace negotiators in Bosnia, Lord Owen and Cyrus Vance as well as from US, UK and other journalists. In relation to the so-called “massacre” at Srebrenica the UNPROFOR General Morillon who was present is cited as believing that the numbers killed were grossly exaggerated and that the incident was set up by the Bosnians. The author provides evidence to show that it was the US who supported the large scale expulsion of Serbs from Croatia and that the deaths at Racak in Kosovo, which were the excuse for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, were in fact the result of a fight-out between Yugoslav and Albanian forces reported by US General Walker of Nicaraguan “Contras” fame as a Serb “massacre”. The break-up of Former Yugoslavia is attributed by the author to the intervention of Germany on behalf of the Croats and the US on behalf of the Bosnians, in which he offers strong evidence that the US deployed Al Qaeda mercenaries as the US had done against the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Specific attention is paid to the interaction between EU and German bilateral relations with Russia. It is concluded that Germany has utilised the bilateral relationship to pursue its policy of constructive engagement with Russia in a manner that has been problematic given the normative content of EU foreign policy. The long-term impact of this “two-level” game remains unclear though. While Germany could be accused of undermining EU policy on Russia, it could equally be argued that Germany has provided a more pragmatic model for the future of EU-Russian relations. 1 This article is a revised version of a forthcoming chapter (Timmins “German-Bilateral Relations”).

Attitudes Towards a German Contribution to Worldwide Military Missions Abstract: For half a century Western Europe and the USA were certain that NATO would guarantee peace, stability and freedom. This certainty is gone, since the Soviet empire collapsed and the Cold War is over. Since, all German governments have tried to find their new role in this international uncertainty. The claim of a seat in the UN-security council as a permanent member, and the deployment of the Bundeswehr in Afghanistan are met with the clear expression of the constitution, which restricts the use of force to defensive measures only. This contribution addresses a question, often forgotten in the analysis of foreign policy, namely whether the new defence policy is accepted by the German people. Is there a consensus to defend the German interests at the Hindukusch, as was stated by Peter Struck, the former Minister of Defence? Opinion polls will be used to analyse whether the use of force “out of area” is widely accepted in Germany.

Abstract: At the turn of the millennium, a consensus seemed to exist which suggested that Germany had faced up to its National Socialist past and confronted questions of responsibility and guilt. At last, the Holocaust and the Second World War seemed to have become an integral part of German national identity. Within a few years, however, debates about Germany's past once again turned away from suffering caused by the Germans and returned to the issue of German suffering. This contribution will argue that recent dynamics of German collective memory suggest that a new consensus has emerged which acknowledges German responsibility for crimes committed between 1933 and 1945 at the same time as recognising German suffering. Germany is thus less restricted by its past than it has been at any other point since 1945 resulting in much more confident expressions of German national identity than had been possible in the Bonn Republic.

Author-X-Name-Last: Stirk Title: The Concept of the State in German Political Thought Abstract: It appeared that the troubled history of German political thought had finally come to an end in the consensus of the Bonn Republic about the de-thronement of the concept of the state. Debate in the Berlin Republic, however, suggests that the concept of the state has become contentious once again. In part this is fed by the resonance of past debates and connotations but it is also a product of new complexities in governance. The result is that the state may no longer be linked with the language of crisis. Instead it is associated with the language of paradox.

Nevertheless, the reforms were passed in 2003. Building on a veto-player framework, the present case study demonstrates that highly contested policy reforms such as the Agenda 2010 can be passed even if the number of veto players is high, when the legislative status quo is unattractive for the parties; the government is successful in employing its agenda-setting powers; the timing in the electoral cycle is favourable; and the opposition lacks cohesiveness.

An Evaluation of the German and the Westminster Model of Democracy on the Basis of the Veto Players Theory Abstract: The contribution evaluates the German and the Westminster Model of democracy on the basis of the veto players theory. Both the German Model (a democracy with many veto players) and the Westminster Model (a democracy with a minimum of veto players) imply perceived theoretical advantages and disadvantages. However, it is argued that the perceived theoretical disadvantage of the Westminster Model as well as the perceived theoretical advantage of the German Model barely manifest themselves in reality. Therefore it is recommended not to increase the number of veto players in the UK and to reduce the number of veto players in Germany.

US-German Relations Under the Red-Green Coalition in Berlin Abstract: This contribution argues that the reorientation of US foreign policy under the Bush/Cheney administration towards unilateralism and pre-emptive military “hard” power fundamentally challenges the transatlantic consensus between Europe and America. This applies in particular to the traditionally close bilateral relations between the US and Germany, which were based on multilateral consultations and co-operation within the framework of NATO. The German foreign policy approach of multilateral responsibility, developed under the red-green coalition after 1998, which combines the post-WW2 German foreign policy tradition of “soft” power multilateral conflict resolution with the acceptance of full military burden-sharing with the NATO allies stands in stark contrast to the US strategy in the war against terror.

Jetzt soll er auch noch Jude sein”: Theatricality, Memory and Identity in Dani Levy's (2004) Abstract: While Dani Levy's Alles auf Zucker! is a comedy about Jews and “Jewishness” in an increasingly cosmopolitan world, in its exploration of Otherness the film also addresses more general questions of identity within the multicultural milieu of post-unification Germany. Levy's technique of quoting stereotypes only to debunk them can be seen as part of an attack on all discursive systems that seek to prevent change by “fixing” identity in terms of a series of “eternal” essences. In place of the latter Levy's film offers a new anti-essentialist notion of identity based on a concept of “performativity”. Seen in this light Alles auf Zucker! is part of a wave of recent German films in which to be “Other” is no longer to be cast in the role of the victim, but rather to adopt a position from which the contradictions and absurdities of the dominant structures of society might be exposed.

They regarded the rootless and impoverished newcomers as a likely source of political radicalization, maintaining that they were particularly susceptible to Communism. However, although leading Protestant churchmen misperceived the nature of the political threat the refugees posed, the work they undertook to ward off the newcomers’ perceived vulnerability to Communism inadvertently reduced their susceptibility to the slogans of radical right-wing parties, a danger the Protestant elites ignored or overlooked.

These films were frequently criticised for reducing their protagonists to stereotypes, portraying the migrant as victim and focusing excessively on conflict of an intercultural or intracultural kind. The 1990s saw the emergence of a younger generation of Turkish directors in Germany intent on breaking away from this “cinema of the affected” by not foregrounding the problematicisation of alterity.

From the perspective of totalitarianism scholarship, the process of reassessing the GDR dictatorship is intimately bound up with the question of commonalities and differences with the National Socialist state. The present study into the Young Pioneers organization and its received children's and youth literature is to be understood in the context of this comparative perspective. The study of the Young Pioneers and “their” genuine socialist CYL will reveal how much the “Stunde Null” idea of starting entirely afresh in East Germany remained fraught with complexities. 1 Translated by Andrew Boreham.

This has been most profound in Poland, where a coalition of conservative-nationalist parties has formed a government. These political developments have been underpinned by an intellectual movement, which has created a new synthesis of conservative thought. Contemporary conservative thinking in Poland reaches back to the work of European and Polish conservatism during the inter-war period. It combines a criticism of both communism and liberalism, believing that both possess similar atheistic, nihilistic and immoral characteristics. Polish conservatism proposes the instigation of a new process of de-communisation and seeks to break from the supposed neutralism of liberalism. It proposes a politicisation of the public sphere and supports closing the gap between the Church and the State. Conservatism in Poland has grown as liberalism has suffered an inexorable decline due to its fusion of cultural and political liberalism with economic neo-liberalism. The Polish left has become assimilated into this liberal framework, leaving conservatism as the main alternative mode of thought to the neo-liberal paradigm in post-socialist Poland.

The Georgian opposition's orientation towards an alliance with the West and a state of “low-intensity democracy” were in accordance with the interests of Euro-Atlantic (especially US) capital. The US agenda is to ensure economic and geo-political dominance in Eurasia by means of a shift in allegiances of the local elites and the concomitant prevention of deeper democratisation. The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its decisive arbitration role.

Author-X-Name-Last: Fouskas Title: Germany and the Passage from War to Peace in Eurasia Abstract: The article examines the geo-political and socio-economic positioning of Germany in Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Greater Middle East vis-à-vis the contingency of another US-led war against Iran. The central argument is that an attack on Iran would further undermine the cohesion of the EU as a potential political actor in the international arena, while setting on a collision course Europe and Russia. However, the article shows that there are some important and innate cooperative tendencies between Eurasian powers, tendencies that the US and its closest allies, such as Britain and Israel, cannot reverse forever and by way of wars and acts of aggression, such as the recent crisis between Russia and the US over the placement of missiles in Poland. Following a geo-political approach, the article argues that the undoing of America's primacy in Eurasia is the first step towards the historic possibility for the passage from war to peace on the continent.

This article addresses the issue through case study research on US and German-based multinationals operating in the automotive sector in Poland, Hungary and Slovenia. The evidence shows how trade unions and industrial relations institutions affect investors in different ways country-by-country, with some unexpected effects on the implementation of flexible employment practices by the investors. Foreign-owned enterprises witness cases of union revitalisation, breaking the “path-dependency” of post-communist unions, in spite of frequent employer hostility. Bottom-up factors such as production changes and local labour market trends are frequently found behind revitalisation, although foreign factors such as home-country models or international union solidarity occasionally also play a role. Such revitalisation, however, being company-based, raises issues on the capacity of trade unions to combine core worker representation with the defence of workers in the society as a whole.

A brief outline of attitudes before the late 1980s forms the introduction. This is followed by an outline of the events that have contrived to change the circumstances in which the German-Israeli relationship has been carried on since 1987. The article then engages in an analysis of the nature of those relationships and some of the problems that relate to the changed nature of the relationship, perceptions in both countries, the use of language and the role of the Palestinians in the conflict. The concluding section seeks to locate the changed dynamics of the relationship in a framework in which three aspects are highlighted: (1) utilitarian friendship, which benefits both sides; (2) the dichotomy between the Holocaust lessons “never again” and “never again to Jews”; and (3) the positing of a theory of “philo-Zionism” to define the predominant attitude to Israel among Germany's elites. This theory argues that German philo-Zionism externalises “the Jews” every bit as much as anti-Semitism.

It finds the critical acclaim for Das Leben der Anderen to be warranted, but not the suggestion that it is a brave film. That claim rests on the assumption that the presentation of the German Democratic Republic in post-unification German culture has been overly nostalgic. The paradigm case most commonly cited is Good Bye Lenin!, but this article shows that criticism to be misplaced. The article closes with a discussion of theories of “Ostalgie”.

As this is the most significant electoral appearance of a party of the non-social democratic left in Germany since Weimar times, our article addresses the question of the underlying social and political conditions. To analyse the success of the Linkspartei the authors combine elements of social-structural research of voting behaviour, political opportunity theory, and the concept of framing. It is argued that there is a strong demand for social justice in the German electorate, which had no determined parliamentary representation in the last legislative periods due to the social democrats' strategic shift to the “Neue Mitte”, therefore opening a political opportunity structure for the electoral alliance of WASG and PDS. The Linkspartei on their side succeeded in addressing this electoral group by adopting a master frame of social justice.

As a result the latest new formation can only be understood properly if one recalls at least the last fifteen years, since the new German Linskpartei is by no means a new-born child. The author shows how the neoliberal politics of the “Red-Green” Government, especially after the elections of 2002, provoked a new social opposition which gave room to the new formation of the German left. He demonstrates the political legacy of the old Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) and its influence on the first steps the new left party has taken, a tradition with pitfalls that provokes varied discussions and blockages inside the political left. Unlike many observers who have viewed Germany and its left primarily in terms of “objective” necessity and possibility the author explains what might be termed the “subjective” problems and politico-ideological traps in which the German left has appeared to be entangled for many years and indeed decades—and which, in a certain sense, are bound to be reproduced constantly so long as they are not consciously theorised politically, clarified and constructively opposed. 1 Article translated by Andrew Kilmister.

This study thus centres on the question, hitherto only touched on in the research literature, of Grass's profile as an international intellectual. It primarily deals with his critical attitude towards the United States of America, Israel, and the project of European integration, where it emerges that Grass's public interventions are directed above all against the misuse of political power, as perpetrated for example by the USA during the Cold War or later in Iraq. At the same time, Grass has, at an international level, taken the part of those who have fallen victim to power-centred politics, those who are discriminated against, those who have been forgotten, such as the fatwa-threatened Salman Rushdie, the endangered Israeli population during the Six Day War and the first Gulf War, and the European ethnic group the Roma. 1 Article translated by Graham Frankland.

This article challenges the predominant national and Soviet historical paradigms, including those of the left which have restricted its views of the revolution through the prism of Petrograd. The article analyses the Ukrainian Revolution as a distinctive process and re-asserts the vernacular socialist movement as posing a viable alternative which was universal in its objectives of social emancipation and national liberation. The experience of the “rebirth of Ukraine” during those tumultuous years brings into question previously accepted explanations of the fate not only of the Russian Revolution but the entire European Revolution.

The Remaking of Polish Politics after the 2007 Parliamentary Elections Abstract: This article examines the results of the 2007 parliamentary elections in Poland and the configuration of the party political system around two parties from the right. This unusual situation is the result of the decline of the left and liberal parties in Poland and the shift of politics to the conservative right. The two main political parties share many historical and programmatic commonalities, but also diverge on a number of crucial issues. The present government faces a series of challenges that threaten to damage its electoral popularity. However, without the alternative of a credible party of the left, then the danger is present that the population will further become disillusioned with and disengage from the democratic process.

One of them is in Hungarian and therefore has a putative audience of Hungarian speakers. The other handbook is in English and therefore has a putatively international audience. Based on the assumption that providing education is one of the key functions of states, the two books are compared on what they say about education and the EU and whether they have a state-like ontology for the EU. The findings reveal that the two handbooks in fact do not conceptualize the EU as a state or a state-like structure even though there are indications that it is understood as an empire.

Abstract: The politico-economic relationship between Germany and the Balkan states was, from the end of the nineteenth century, one of unequal interdependence. The strategic value of the Balkan states for an export-dependent and resource-dependent industrial state like Germany was manifest in the Berlin–Bagdhad railway project, two world wars and the close relationship with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The region's value to Germany's economic and political elites has been manifest more recently in the wake of Yugoslavia's disintegration and the subsequent transition towards the politico-economic "norms" of the European Union. This paper examines the degree to which it is possible to employ the concept of hegemony in relation to German involvement in the region. While a neo-realist understanding of hegemony is inapplicable, neo-Gramscian conceptions of a hegemonic historic bloc, informed by the interests of Germany's political and economic elites but embedded in the institutions and norms of the EU, are shown to be a valuable tool for explaining the development of the successor states in the western Balkans. The strong presence of German corporations and their affiliates in Balkan trade, in foreign direct investment and transnational infrastructural projects in the region, like the Caspian pipelines, as well as the adoption of German models of political and corporate governance, would seem to confirm the unequal interdependence characteristic of hegemonic relationships.

Discussing the Transformation Dynamics in Turkey Abstract: Various works of the Neo-Gramscian School analysed the Integration of Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) and the role of the European Governance process as a decisive actor in the transformation processes that opened the way to membership. The “first” generation of these works focused on the question of how transnational neo-liberal policies, deepening and integration of the EU and peripherialization of the CEEC relate to each other. However, after the accession of CEEC to the EU the focus of the “second generation” work shifted towards the emergence of varieties of capitalism among these countries and the role of the domestic forces in the process of state transformation. Our theoretical/methodological approach is based on the question: what can the scholars working on the Turkish transformation learn from the critical political economy studies of enlargement? Does the Turkish example differ from the CEEC? How can the influence of the European governance on Turkey be assessed? How can one discuss the neo-liberalization of the Turkish economy and Europeanization dynamics together? In this article we discuss the political economic dynamics of Turkey's integration into the world market and accession process to the EU. Although the transformation of Turkey's economy in the 1980s and 1990s was essential for bringing the country on the path to membership negotiations, the EU did only have a minor role in this process. Only after the severe crises of Turkey's economy in 2000/2001 and the stabilization programme of the IMF, could the EU substantially augment its influence. The focus of the stabilization programme on macroeconomic stability overlapped perfectly with the economic priorities of the EU and was an opportunity to become engaged in the Turkish reform process as an important player. Since then, the EU is seen as an anchor of Turkey's economic stability. For analysing the Turkish path of development we focus on the export orientation, financialization and monetary based stabilization programme to discuss three phases of liberalization in Turkey since 1980 from an Europeanization aspect. This analysis sheds light upon the question of what two generations of neo-Gramscian work can contribute to our understanding of the Turkish case.

Our analysis connects contemporary dimensions of labour migration and the challenges of economic development. It is relevant to the understanding of contemporary developments in Central and Eastern Europe in that we locate a case study of labour migration from the Baltic State of Latvia as an outcome of the application of the trajectory of neoliberalism that more widely now threatens to dismantle Jacques Delors’ “Social Europe” model. We argue that in the new post-communist EU member states such as Latvia, such socioeconomic prescriptions based on a “low road” of poor labour standards fail to deliver sustainable development for those who have adopted this path.

This account of the attempt to reform state socialism in the Prague Spring of 1968 attempts a different interpretation. The reforms in Prague were a remarkable attempt to live up to the original Marxist ideal of a just and politically free modern society. What were the policies of the reformers around Alexander Dubček? How were these reforms at all possible in the first place? Why were they carried out and who were the main actors? When did this development begin that later blossomed into the Prague Spring? Finally, what does the emergence of this practical transformation have to say about state socialism and its power structure: in view of the reforms that actually happened, is it meaningful to describe it still as a totalitarian dictatorship?

The context of the 1950s, during which avoidance and forgetting dominated, is noted. Two decisive but very different books, published by Richard Errell and Hannah Vogt in 1961, are analyzed to illustrate the thoroughness with which they exposed the recent past. The attempt by the books' authors to make Germans take responsibility for the misdeeds of the Third Reich is set out. The issue of the degree to which the works were disseminated and publicized is posed but not resolved. Both the reviewed books underscored the need to reassess the past and to keep the memory of the Nazi regime's victims alive. The article acknowledges these seminal studies which, together with other contemporaneous attempts, threw down a gauntlet and challenged the established nationally-centered history accounts that had dominated public awareness until then. The article demonstrates that well before the cultural shift of 1968 an acknowledgement of Nazi horrors was underway.

It argues that as minor powers within their respective Cold War blocs the GDR and Australia had very limited room for manoeuvre, yet within those limitations both sides adopted a good deal of pragmatism in cultivating political, cultural, sporting and above all trade relations. Although the conservative Australian government which was voted out of office in early December 1972 consistently resisted pressure to recognize the GDR, the new Labor government under Gough Whitlam was able to build on the pragmatic foundations for an expanded relationship laid in preceding years. Nonetheless, Whitlam moved rapidly and with a boldness which indicated a clear new direction in Australian foreign policy under his leadership. Diplomatic recognition did not, however, necessarily bring with it improved relations in other spheres, indeed the possibilities for improved trade remained largely unfulfilled through to the GDR's demise.

Abstract: 10 October is a major referent of cultural memory and regional identity in Austria's southernmost province, Carinthia. The region is home to both Slovene-speaking and German-speaking communities and has a long history of interethnic conflict. This article sets out to examine the origins and development of the annual 10 October commemorations, discussing the extent to which these activities contribute to a sense of unity or division in the province. Contemporary commemorations are afforded particular attention and are found to be essentially “exclusive” of the Slovene minority, despite recent efforts to make the commemorations more conciliatory. The fact of a shared cultural space has not yet translated into the true sense of the word “shared”; 10 October does little to promote a sense of unity in the province.

The mainstream of the relevant literature does not distinguish between “Europeanization” as a process and “Europeanization” as a concept. The institutional/practical and the mythical/ideological dimensions of “Europeanization” are conflated in politics, which provides people with a social myth and a powerful tool for manipulation. We distinguish the two dimensions of “Europeanization” and use the cases of Ukraine and Hungary to illustrate that the concept of “Europeanization” becoming a myth may hinder the process or exist without the real process, thereby creating a simulacrum of “Europe”. We also show that advancing in the process (e.g. achieving EU membership) does not change the dynamics of the concept (Orientalism and its self-imposed varieties).

It suggests a provisional unity to these texts based on the snapshot they provide of late-stage communism and the post-communist transformation of eastern and western Europe, focusing on five common scenarios. Yet the considerable areas of overlap with trends in other German-language literatures indicate that this literature cannot be labelled “marginal”.

The literature oscillates, and vacillates, between structural (“economic”) and agential (“political”) explanations, which is the consequence of the separation of institutions from the society they are part of. In contrast, Antonio Gramsci's writings on “common sense” provide us with the conceptual tools necessary for studying how the relationship between state and society evolved in the 1990s and 2000s. I argue that the increasing transnationalization of German capital in the 1990s modified its worldview—its version of common sense—and these twin, inextricably related, changes created the conditions for the potential detachment of a portion of social democracy from a traditional interpretation of the “social market economy”. Particularly important in this process was the New Social Market Economy Initiative, which saturated public debate after 2000 with a liberal, market-oriented version of common sense.

In this, the authors claim that a flexible mix of regulation/de-regulation and self-regulation is reflected in an asymmetric architecture of multi-level governance that is based on an unequal burden sharing of risk, involving the commodification of risk and an imposition of this burden on the socially weakest groups. Migrant workers are identified as being most vulnerable to the condition of precariousness due to “double asymmetry of hyperprecarity”. The article identifies class-biased practices of regulatory failure and the counter-movements that they have generated around the demand for “decent work”. It is claimed that the present systemic failure has created only a “window of opportunity” for the working class and civil society actors to promote de-commodification of labour and equalisation of risk-burdening in the inception of a new regulatory contest on both national and trans-national level.

Abstract: This paper considers the growth of a new left intellectual movement in Poland: Krytyka Polityczna. This group, led by the sociologist Słavomir Sierakowski, has brought a new discourse into the Polish political debate and challenged the ruling right-wing hegemony in the country. With the country's political scene dominated by two parties of the right, Krytyka Polityczna has added an alternative left-wing voice to the political debate. It has offered a new strategic thinking for the Polish left and confronted the mainstream left's capitulation to the right-wing hegemony. However, Krytyka Polityczna's language and activities are predominantly directed towards the liberal intellectual milleu. It has remained within the confines of a liberal democratic ideology, promoting ideas of a radical pluralist democracy, and thus failing to expand support for left wing ideas within large sections of Polish society and fuelling the suspicion that it is a creature of the establishment. Its growth therefore highlights the weakness of the Polish left and the failure of the labour movement in Poland to impose a real alternative to the dominance of the conservative right.

Abstract: Since 1999 the international financial institutions (IFI) such as the World Bank and IMF have reformed their approach to loan and grant conditionality. As part of the reforms recipient states are encouraged to consult widely with civil society organisations on the internal policy programmes promoted by the IFIs. Individual recipient countries are then assumed to take ownership of policy change without recourse to IFI sanctions. However, many of the policy changes encouraged by the IFIs remain locked in the neo-liberal prescriptive framework of labour market de-regulation, privatisation and public sector reform. As such the collective interests of labour remain threatened. The post Communist states of CEE and former Yugoslavia have been active in recent years in seeking funds from the IFIs. At the same time the legacy of strong labour codes is directly challenged by neo-liberal policy, thus creating a potential arena of contention. This paper examines the reality of the new IFI approach as it relates to labour reform in these states. Evidence is presented of continued avoidance of real or meaningful consultation between the IFIs and client states with labour unions. The authors utilise textual analysis of key IFI documents to present an argument which expresses the reforms of the IFIs as a utopian liberal effort to obscure their underlying continuing commitment to pro-business and anti-labour prescription.

Building upon an emerging corpus of post-structuralist thought that has begun deconstructing this discourse in relation to western economies and the majority (third) world, this paper further extends this critique to Central and Eastern Europe by investigating the degree to which people in post-Soviet Ukraine rely on the capitalist market economy for their livelihood. Reporting the results of 600 face-to-face interviews, the finding is that only a small minority of households in this post-socialist society relies on the formal market economy alone to secure their livelihood and that the vast majority depend on a plurality of market and non-market economic practices. The outcome is a call to re-think the lived practice of economic transition in post-Soviet societies more widely in order to open up the feasibility of, and possibilities for, alternative economic futures beyond capitalist hegemony.

I begin with a brief outline of the local and global processes at the heart of post-communist transitions and then look at the adaptation discourse as a response to these socio-economic changes. I continue by focusing on the representations of working classes in the framework of the adaptation discourse and conclude by a critique of this discourse as marginalizing the post-communist working classes and as uncritically legitimating the system of class inequalities.

In this article, however, the aim is to evaluate the prevalence in Central and Eastern Europe in particular, and the European Union (EU) more generally, of a so far little discussed illegitimate practice whereby formal employees are paid by their formal employer an additional undeclared (“envelope”) wage. Reporting the findings of 26,659 face-to-face interviews conducted during 2007 in twenty-seven European countries, one in twenty (5%) formal employees in the EU, and one in eight (13%) in Central and Eastern Europe, report receiving an additional “envelope” wage from their formal employer. The article then reviews the impacts of this common but overlooked wage arrangement and how it might be tackled.

It points out that the developments that led to the demise of communism were not restricted to the Soviet Bloc but were part of a longer term crisis of the global economy. Using Kondratieff's Long Wave theory, this article shows how the end of the long post-war boom in 1974 represented to the high-point of the productivist model of capitalism and the shift to the Wall Street Consensus and global financialisation. It is argued that this development was what both undermined the uncompetitive and structurally productivist Soviet economy, which could not be saved by Gorbachev's Perestroika, and led to the letting go of Eastern Europe. It is further argued that this long downward wave is also what has fed into the current financial crisis, thus linking 1974, 1989 and 2009 in one structural conjuncture. It then goes on to argue that this situation has the potential to bring with it fundamental political and social change in which the role of the state and political control of the economy could be re-imposed over free markets and that this leaves the way open for a party such as the German Linke to take up this challenge.

It had to radically transform the role of money and markets in the whole economy to permit capital accumulation while getting rid of the existing forms of social protection and income within the big factories—the core of the bureaucratic system of production and distribution. This whole process could not find a revolutionary support among the masses (in the sense of an explicit mobilisation in support of privatisations and suppression of social protection)—in spite of the popular rejection of the single party system and its dictatorship. But it had to face two major issues in the first phase of the systemic transformation: to give some legitimacy to the suppression of a very impure form of social ownership and, as a dominant feature, to introduce the new kind of property without capital input in the form of money. “Mass privatisation” (juridical change without capital input while the state became a “real owner”) has been the dominant and opaque “innovation” through which broad parts of the former bureaucrats could transform their privileges of management into privileges of property, increasing ideological confusion. The integration of Eastern Germany into a real existing capitalist system—one of the most productive and rich—has been a very different scenario.

The main focus is on those Russian scholars who analysed particular phenomena in the Third World as a parallel process to highlight key problems in the USSR. The work of several of these “inside dissidents” who used Aesopian language to criticize Stalinism is explained in terms of the weakening of ideological control after 1956. Two scholars whose criticism is assessed are Viktor Sheinis and Marat Cheshkov, both of whom analysed key features of the Stalinist system during its mature or stagnant phase prior to its disintegration. The article highlights the continuing relevance of several points of their criticism, such as the need for social control over the state and the difficulty of social transformation.

His ideas had a great influence on Ukranian intellectuals of that time. This article shows parallels between the political views of Mykola Khvylovy and Leon Trotsky in such important questions as the problem of the “westernization” of culture, the peasant question, the role of the person in history and perspectives of the world revolution.

In the wake of the political and economic crisis of 1996–97, the country introduced a currency board arrangement (CBA), which provided the monetary framework for the foreign-investment-led growth that followed. This arrangement, which has been hailed as successful ever since, merits a reassessment in light of a disaster waiting to happen. In addition to double-digit inflation rates, the country's current account deficit reached 25.1 percent of GDP in 2007 and 25.3 percent in 2008, while its Gross External Debt has more than tripled since 2003. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of the CBA in Bulgaria's transition to a specific variety of capitalism that features high share of foreign ownership of productive and financial assets, large and growing dependence on capital imports, and trade dependence. The paper argues that rather than being a technical detail, the introduction of the currency board signified a radical reconfiguration of dominant economic interests in the transition to capitalism marking a shift from domestic-led redistribution of national wealth to foreign-led mode of accumulation. Not only was thereby the dominant position of foreign creditors cemented, but indebtedness has become embedded as an underlying feature of the capitalist development of the country. The gigantic external imbalances that developed under the board have produced mountains of foreign debt whose servicing is likely to perpetuate a heavy drain of economic surplus for generations to come as well as the firm placement of the country under the constant tutelage of creditors-serving organizations.

But the main outcome of this event, the unification of Germany, was not the only possible future in that time. Autumn 1989 in GDR was a historically open situation. Two of the four collective actors in the late GDR did not want to end their state but transform it into a renewed democratic one. The article aims to explain mainly the actions of the reform-oriented intelligentsia of the GDR in that situation. Its role was forgotten due to the historical narrative that became hegemonic after 1989 in the new Germany.

Explaining the significance of these events requires an analysis situating these developments into the global restructuring of the world-system that has occurred since the 1970s when the Bretton Woods Consensus and its model of accumulation and political organization broke down. This article endeavors to reveal insights about the recent unrest by embedding them within a broader political economy (both locally and globally) that articulates the connections between different regimes of accumulation and governance and their respective degrees of social solidarity. Additionally, this article ends by placing the recent demonstrations within three defined categories of protests in the modern era and their conjuncture with crisis of accumulation present since the 1970s. Lastly, this article posits that Latvia's transition economy and society risks ending the middle-class project introduced by the transatlantic revolutions two centuries back and that a recalibration of economic development policies is required to address its structural defects.

That of the Independentist Ukrainian Marxists who challenged both the Russian Communists and the Ukrainian nationalists in their quest for an independent Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic. Originating in Ukrainian Social-Democracy, the Nezalezhnyky (Independentists) anticipated many of the ideas of the communist oppositions' who sought to reassert the libertarian goals of the revolution. Struggling first within the Ukrainian Peoples Republic then the Ukrainian SSR, their campaign had international ramifications and gained the support Bela Kun's Soviet Hungary. In 1919, commanding a section of the Red Army the Nezalezhnyky led a pro-soviet rebellion larger and far more serious than the Kronstadt uprising. Organised as the Ukrainian Communist Party, between 1919–1925 they were the last legal-opposition party in the USSR. In the face of harassment they were the only communists to explicitly advocate a theory of permanent revolution and developed a concept of proletarian hegemony. They opposed NEP as return to capitalist advocating soviet democracy and a self-governing of Ukraine. The history and ideas of these Marxist's provides a new insight into the fate of the Russian, Ukrainian and East European revolutions.

Numerous studies have shed light upon the nature, scale and dynamics of the uprising of that year. But on certain issues questions remain. No consensus exists, for example, on the relationship between the “civic groups” (New Forum, Democratic Awakening, etc.) and the street protests of the autumn of 1989. Were these simply two facets of a single movement? Or are they better characterised as two distinct streams within the same movement delta? Did the street protests push the civic movement activists into the limelight? Or is it more accurate to say, with Reinfried Musch, that “the civic movement brought the people onto the streets”?1 This paper considers two contrasting interpretations of these issues, and finds both wanting. An alternative interpretation is offered, one that draws upon Marc Steinberg's “dialogical” development of frame theory. 1 Musch (97).

This article analyzes two important changes that flow form this mutation. Firstly, migration control efforts now involve private actors, especially transportation companies, but also private security companies. By devolving operational responsibility and imposing financial sanctions, airlines are forced to co-manage flows of “undesirable” migrants, such as refugees and asylum seekers. Secondly, employer associations are gaining increasing influence over economic migration design. The rhetorical link between competitiveness and liberalized economic migration policy successfully sways policy-makers. Employers provide the data and arguments that West European governments base their economic migration policy design on. They are represented in influential advisory councils and help co-manage migration flows considered of economic utility.

This period witnessed an increase in the development of minority rights and minority integration, based on the external and international pressure, which indicated that Romania had a long way to go in order to consider itself a country where minorities were integrated and rights recognized. By analysing integration initiatives and Roma's responses to these, the article will enable scholars and readers to understand better the implementation of particular types of integration programmes and examine which actors have been most involved in the integration process. Addressing questions such as “Were Roma integration initiatives successful?” and “What was the outcome?” will help to answer the concluding question “What works and what does not work in Romanian society and most importantly, what needs to be done in order to achieve successful integration?”.

The point at issue is that of why Hungary has shown such vulnerability to global developments and has been forced to obtain external support from the IMF. Conventional explanations for this vulnerability are reviewed and it is noted that such explanations generally centre on what has been seen as an irresponsible fiscal policy stance. While acknowledging the problems inherent in Hungarian fiscal policy during the last decade the article broadens the scope of the debate to include both domestic monetary policy and the nature of Hungary's integration into the international financial system. It is suggested that Hungary occupies an intermediate place with regard to Central and Eastern European economies; situated between the small open economies who have adopted either the euro or a currency board system and the larger economies who have allowed exchange rates to float. This position has led to inconsistencies and vacillations in Hungarian policy stances. The article concludes with some suggestions for an alternative approach to economic policy management for Hungary in the light of current difficulties.

The heterogeneous consequences of the crisis cannot be understood by focusing exclusively on the region. On the contrary, we analyse the developments against the background of the specific insertion of the region into broader European political-economic structures. Likewise, an analysis of the anti-crisis policies has to transcend the national and sub-regional borders and has to include the EU level. Policy responses to the crisis differ both within the European Union and between Central and Eastern European states. This article discerns the reasons for the differences in both the crisis processes and the policy responses. It does so from the perspective of the theory of regulation. This theory provides the conceptual apparatus to analyse specific national political-economic structures and their linkages within the European context.

The author shows that it is plausible to distinguish between the political and economic semiperiphery, and it is important not only to use these terms at an international level but also within the state borders. The Czech lands were during the existence of the world-economy part of its semiperiphery, and they were in the interstate system part of its semiperiphery or periphery. Although there were ups and downs in their economic and political development, the position of the Czech lands in the modern world-system has been relatively stable since the sixteenth century. The author sees the late nineteenth century when the process of industrialization spread to the Czech lands as a period of catching up the core of the world-economy. The twentieth century was on the other hand characterized by a weakening of their economic position (disintegration of Austria–Hungary, great depression, inclusion in the soviet bloc, and post-communist transformation) and the unstable political position of either a relatively independent country (the politically influential interwar Czechoslovakia, the years before the Stalinist take over, 1968, and the years after 1989) or a semicolony (of Austria–Hungary, Nazi Germany, the Stalinist Soviet Union, the USA, Germany in part, and the EU). It does not seem that the semiperipheral status of the Czech lands can change in the near future.

The aim of this article is to contribute to this emergent stream of thought by first developing a conceptual framework to map the incursion of capitalism and persistence of multiple economic practises in any economy and second, applying this to understanding the everyday economy of post-Soviet Moscow. Conceptualizing economic practises along a spectrum from market to non-market oriented practises, cross-cut by another spectrum from wholly monetized to wholly non-monetized practises, this reveals the shallow and uneven permeation of market practises in post-Soviet Moscow as well as how both work cultures and the nature of individual economic practises vary across Moscow's urban landscape.

One of the general trends associated with the post-communist transition has been rising levels of crime in general and organised crime in particular across countries in the region. Concerns about the perceived threat posed by increased levels of organised crime in Central and Eastern Europe became particularly prevalent in connection with European Union expansion to include countries from the region in 2004 and 2007. This paper seeks to analyse and explore the apparent 'explosion' of organised crime throughout Central and Eastern Europe in the aftermath of 1989, considering the relationship between the post-communist transition and the development of organised crime, and exploring the complex realities behind the evolution of organised crime in contemporary Central and Eastern Europe. This paper seeks to demonstrate that while the process of post-communist transition has facilitated a fundamental reshaping of organised crime in terms of its structure, composition and activities, the 'worst case' scenarios posited in relation to EU enlargement have not come to bear.

It argues that the crushing of Solidarity, by the authorities, as a mass movement contributed to the establishing of a qualitatively and quantitatively different organization or organizations that had their roots in Solidarity. What we witnessed after 13th December 1981 was the transformation of Solidarity into an elitist network of loosely connected underground organizations with little mass constituency. This article argues that the post-Solidarity opposition was characterized by conflicts and rivalry between personal factions and cliques and that it was only sustained through invoking the legacy and memory of Solidarity of 1980–1981.

It attempts to do justice to the crucial role of the East German protest movement. They have a right to claim their own peaceful revolution, which brought down not only the East German regime, but ultimately the entire Soviet order. We were the people: Alexanderplatz 1999.

Although, the above-mentioned theory was successfully applied to the evolution of the communist system in Poland, it does not serve well as an explanation of this part of Polish history. There are two reasons for this state of affairs. First, the above-mentioned theory of power is a materialistic one. It means that all fundamental social changes are explained by the activity of ordinary citizens and rank and file members of the ruling class. Whereas, the authors of the Round Table agreement belonged to the elite of both classes. Second, non-Marxian historical materialism is a conflict theory which means that all fundamental social changes are introduced by mass revolutions and protests. Whereas, the political changes leading to the decline of communism were initiated by class compromises made in conditions of relative social peace. I will expand this theory in order to capture mechanisms of social compromise. Namely, I build the model of class balance which led to a choice in the adequate strategies by leaders of both classes (rulers and citizens). Finally, the political development of Poland during the years 1988–1991 will be analyzed in the light of the presented model of class compromise.

This article is seeking to answer the question; how could pure market capitalism also be established in Poland, which fully contradicted the “Solidarity” self-governing socialism theory? How was it that such a large mass movement could disappear under these new circumstances? The Polish opposition activists (Kuroń, Modzelewski, Kołakowski, Brus, Michnik) wanted to establish a “self-governing socialism” together with the working class from the middle of the 1960s. In the years 1980–81 this was also established for a short period during the “Solidarity”. After the introduction of Martial law, due to the world economic system, the indebtedness of socialist economics and the pressure of international financial institutions it was impossible to resolve the crisis in a “socialist way”. In addition to this the revolutionary changes within the industry scattered the classical working class, which was the basis of the “Solidarity”. This article strives to answer these questions based on archive documentation, while comparing Polish events with Hungarian. This article finds it is important to analyze the role of historical traditions and the transformation of the world economic system at the same time. This shows the specialities and resemblances of the countries in the Central Eastern European region.

Khrushchev had sought to replace the Stalinist method of steering the state by a new one emphasising greater regularity of the institutional structure, increased threats to officials, a new range of incentives for officials, and his own personal dominance. In this sense he rejected some aspects of Stalinism while modifying others. However in their implementation, these measures produced incoherence and reluctance on the part of officials to grapple meaningfully with pressing issues. A sense of drift accompanied the reluctance to countenance reform, making Gorbachev's task even greater than it would otherwise have been.

The study associates the Bulgarian writer Blaga Dimitrova and the Czech Milan Kundera. It focuses on two novels they wrote at the same time, the former in Eastern Europe, in Sofia, the latter in Central Europe, in Prague. These are Litze [Face] Dimitrova composed in 1977 only to see it forbidden by the regime, then censored, and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting Kundera published in exile in 1979. During the communist era, art is subject to the fluctuations of power. Fiction complies with the only authorized aesthetic norm: that of socialist realism. The slightest digression from it is considered as a provocation and censored. However, the thaw of the 1970s brings a relative freedom in society and art. The ideological vocabulary that supports the totalitarian world becomes the target of the authors' irony. Dimitrova and Kundera outwit the peremptory assertions of the regime by thwarting them in a systematic mockery. Both narratives reformulate the collective memory of the pre-1989 era. They restore the remembrance of people and events erased by the official historiography. However, communism with the social practices and mentality it imposed, is not the only target of the writers' criticism. Dimitrova and Kundera witness not only the new freedom brought by liberal democracy, but also new kinds of censorship. Both writers continue to express their dissent from any ideology.

The majority of the politically involved West German writers for many decades supported the Sozialelemokratische Partei Deutschlands. The most crucial political events of the 1960s like the great coalition and the students' revolt tested their political determination. In 1989 many of them were skeptical or, like Grass, absolutely rejected the idea of the reunification of Germany, supported by the majority of the society and politicians. They feared that building of a big country could lead to the destruction of the founding myth of the Federal Republic of Germany (genocide–stigma) and revive of the conservative ideas from before the War. The East German writers were even more strongly opposite to the reunification, but for completely other reasons. The reunification of Germany meant the end of the political conditions they were used to live in and the painful loss of all the privileges that most of them were offered by the state. Both the West- and the East-German writers were criticized for their attitude as not fitting to the expectations of the society. This critic gradually led to the loss of authority of this group, concerning its political opinions and activities.

The rise of these groups, closely related to subcultures, should be perceived not only as one of the ways of fighting the communist regimes in the region, but also as a criticism of pro-democratic dissidents. The opposition's shift towards neoliberal positions, as well as the elitism of the intellectuals forming the movement, left many people–including the young–aside. The cleavage can be seen not only on the discursive level, but also when speaking of tactics used during protest events.

The 1980s were years of economic crises in the three federations. The autonomy movements in the federal units began to feed their people with nationalist slogans accusing the central governments of misusing their power over the command economy. Economic warfare between periphery and centre precluded secession. The question, whether independence fulfilled the popular dreams of renewed economic prosperity within the borders of the new states is answered in the final part of this article.

The analyzed period covers the cases of Russia and East Central Europe (Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia) from 1989 to 2004, from the beginning of the post-communist changes to the accession to the European Union. The relationships between successor parties, trade unions, and state are presented on three levels depending on the institutional links between them: (1) institutional design arena; (2) electoral arena; and (3) social dialogue arena.

Although scholars have arrived at equivocal answers to this question, the vast majority of this research has been overly restrictive in its measures of social capital and democratic attitudes, focusing almost exclusively upon connections between social and political trust from which broad inferences about the social capital perspective have been made. Rarely, however, has the impact of different manifestations of social capital been examined on a range of democratic attitudes. Using ALLBUS data from the Federal Republic of Germany, this study subjects the social capital perspective to empirical testing, by systematically examining the impact of five manifestations of social capital on two measures of political support. The results strongly confirm that social capital influences democratic attitudes which are more diffuse in character.

I argue that the shift from a democratic revolution to the liberal project of unification was absolutely crucial: as working class people in East Germany relinquished their claims to radical democracy, they were compensated by the wages of Germanness, i.e. membership in the unified state and the “whiteGerman” nation.

During the process of democratization, the presidential institution is affected by a variety of alterations: at the time when institutions adapt to the real circumstances of politics. Presidents have the choice either to accept the new structures or to decline and try to change them. Although we can observe completely different processes of democratization, when comparing presidents, it appears that the described difference in presidential behavior compared to the constitutional rules follows certain patterns. With the evidence gathered so far, it seems that the duration of democratic consolidation and historical-institutional pre-conditioning influence this path-dependent occurrence. Pre-autocratic experiences, experiences with autocratic regimes and the specific end of the autocratic regime have great influence on the following process. Focusing on this, this research will make a contribution to the question of the role of top-down actors in the consolidation period after 1989, especially in former European patrimonial communist regimes.

Those events, labelled “colour revolutions” have affected the geopolitical order of the world by destabilising regimes in un-free countries of Eastern Europe, the former USSR and beyond. Starting from a framework elaborated in past years, according to which the output of a social and political movement in the former USSR depends on the combination of five factors (elites, opposition, external forces, civil society and people) this article analyses the importance of external influences to the success of what has been called a “colour revolution.” Drawing from the Rose Revolution in Georgia and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, it discusses the appropriateness of the term “colour revolution,” its social and political significance and spells out the possible ways external influences can impact on socio-political events in a country where a colour revolution is attempted.

An important transformation of the Soviet society, with private appropriation growing up on the basis of state property, became incarnate in today s private property when decisive support was provided by the West for Russia's market reforms. Modern-day private property in Russia bears the birthmark of Stalinism in the violent reality that lies behind the facade of joint-stock companies, and it is because of this reality that the Russian bourgeoisie focuses on the extraction of short-term income in the form of insider rent. The latter is in fact a specific form of surplus value that distinguishes modern Russian capitalism and defines its fundamental character. The business culture that has arisen on this basis is not conducive to long-term investment or to the efficient management of production, while the predatory methods of labour exploitation that are employed serve to ensure that Russian society is characterised by mass poverty and profound social conflict. With private property resting on violence, there is no possibility of creating a real democracy.

Using original protest events data I compare dynamics, repertoire, political actors, and targets of politics of memory protests with protests against illegal constructions privatizing urban public space, as one of the most frequent social-economic protest issues, in the context of the split between institutionalized and non-institutionalized “civil society.” Focusing analysis on attacks against Soviet monuments, I show how state anti-Communist politics of memory provided legitimacy for the far right mobilization. The dynamics of the most successful grassroots anti-construction initiatives, “Save Old Kyiv,” shows how tightly social-economic protests might be interwoven with the politics of memory, although with destructive consequences for the success of the former.

Partly based on recent fieldwork at five plants organized by the Union of Auto- and Farm-Machine Building of Ukraine, the article explores the reasons for the difference between the conciliatory approach of organized labor at several influential automobile plants and the more militant workers in Ukraine's farm-machine sector.

Focusing on the Greater Romania Magazine (Revista România Mare, RRM) – the party's main media outlet – the analysis is centered on the PRM leader's editorials during a well-defined timeframe in the recent history of Romanian radical-right populism, from the preparations for presidential elections in 2000, which witnessed Tudor's surprising runoff, through the subsequent presidential elections in 2004, and up to EU parliamentary elections in 2009, which enabled the PRM to send three representatives to the EU Parliament. The staunchly restrictive definition of the family, portrayed as the exclusive heteronormative domain of the Romanian male, has been developed in time with the help of the “nation is a family” and the “strict father” conceptual metaphors to proscribe the existence of family narratives including ethnically diverse or any sexually different Others. The article accounts for the discursive (re-)definitions of Romanianness enabled by conceptual metaphors so as to accommodate centrally located heterosexist masculinities, and underlines the need for further explorations of the radical-right populist narratives of national purity.

It is argued that the notion of insider rent as a concrete form of surplus value allows one to grasp the historical dynamics of the Russian society in the 1990s–2000s. The author makes a point that under the favorable conditions of the last decade the strategies of Russian big business largely moved from short-term to medium-term time horizon. However, the system is still based on insider rent extraction. As a result, state functionaries often became large insiders themselves, intra-firm conflicts continue, the country's semi-peripheral status is entrenched, and authoritarianism strengthens. The paper concludes that analysis of the modern Russian society in insider rent perspective demonstrates continuity, rather than disruption, in development of the country s nascent capitalism in the 1990s and the 2000s.

However, neither the prevalence of nor the rationales underpinning engagement in these non-market work practices have been widely evaluated. To start to bridge this gap, this article evaluates the extent of self-provisioning in post-Soviet Ukraine and the reasons for engaging in such subsistence production. Until now, participants in self-provisioning have been portrayed either as rational economic actors, dupes, seekers of self-identity, or simply doing so out of necessity or choice. Analyzing face-to-face interviews with 600 households in Ukraine, this article not only reveals the extensive use of self-provisioning in Ukraine but also develops a theoretically-integrative typology to explain the diverse reasons for engaging in such activity which differentiates between “willing” (rational economic actors, choice, identity seeking) and “reluctant” (economic and market necessity, dupes) participants in self-provisioning. The outcome is a call to evaluate further the ongoing importance of the subsistence economy in Central and Eastern Europe and to re-theorize its persistence in a more theoretically integrative manner than has so far been the case.

Expropriation, Resource Nationalism, Fuzzy Research, and Corruption of Environmental Institutions in the Making of the Shale Gas Revolution in Northern Poland Abstract: This article focuses on the Polish state's strategies in making “space” for the shale gas revolution. It focuses on the state's utilization of law, research, and domination of the political debate to ensure that the shale gas exploration is legitimated on the local level and in the European Union (EU). Furthermore, this article asks what implications Poland's entrance into the shale gas revolution has had on its transition as a post-socialist state into the market economy. It points out the paradoxes of a shale gas revolution being replicated from the USA to Europe, the disjuncture between the rapidity of shale gas exploration versus public knowledge about the process, the political issues surrounding the rise of resource nationalism vis-a-vis the dependence on foreign technology in the exploration process, and raises the question of whether shale gas exploration is a national or European issue. Finally, it asks how these shale gas developments, the state's passage of laws that allow the foreign expropriation of private property owners fits into the idea of post-socialist “transition” to a market economy. Is it over? Has it back-tracked? Or do post-socialist ethnographers need a new theoretical framework?

Günter Grass as the Conscience of the German Nation Abstract: When it was revealed in 2006 that Günter Grass had been a member of the Waffen-SS towards the end of the World War II, critics stripped Germany's most famous contemporary writer and intellectual of his widely recognized position as “a self-designated and fearless conscience of the nation” (Fritz Stern). Against the historical background of moral authority figures in twentieth century Germany, this article examines Grass’ contributions as the nation's conscience to his country's political culture. For a start, the historical preconditions are analyzed that allowed Grass from the early 1960s onward to ascend to the public role of a moral authority figure. Second, this article then assesses to what extent this position must be regarded, on the one hand, as the result of external configurations and, on the other, as the outcome of Grass’ own aspirations to create a self-image as a moral leader. In the light of his former membership of the Waffen-SS; third, the question is addressed whether Grass’ confession has led to his “moral downfall,” as many critics have claimed, or whether he should still be regarded as a “moral compass,” as others believe. This article concludes by arguing that his recent dismissal from his position as the nation's conscience does not merely reveal widespread disenchantment with Grass but indicates, at a much wider level, a new public understanding that no longer associates the role of the writer in the twenty-first century with moral leadership.

Now entering the last phase of their lifecycle, many of these individuals feel overwhelmed by painful war memories – many professionals in the medical and psychological field see their patients’ symptoms linked to these early childhood experiences. Through the lens of memory, this article aims to show how the socio-political development of the German society, together with a generally changed awareness of the impact of forced migration on children within the social and psychological professions, has influenced the public perception of this generation. In this context, this article draws on recent studies with the former refugee children and discusses psychological concepts such as post-traumatic stress and intergenerational transmission, which are applied to explain attitudes and symptoms. It is suggested that an integration of this suffering into the larger historical context may not be a contradiction for the nation of perpetrators and may have a stabilizing effect on German identity.

Reporting the results of a 2007 Eurobarometer survey of envelope wages in 10 Central and Eastern European countries, the finding is that the practice of formal employees receiving two wages from their formal employer, an official declared salary and an additional undeclared wage, markedly varies cross-nationally, from 23% of formal employees in Romania to just 3% of formal employees in the Czech Republic. Analyzing this from a “varieties of capitalism” perspective, undeclared envelope wage payments are found to be more prevalent in neo-liberal economies with lower levels of state intervention and less common in more “welfare capitalist” economies in which there is greater state intervention in work and welfare. The resultant conclusion is that envelope wages are correlated with the under- rather than over-regulation of work and welfare.

It concludes with “An Excursus on Classophobia,” analyzing writings by Kardelj, and a hypothesis on “Two Yugoslav Singularities.” The first or splendid plebeian singularity was the double liberatory course of the 1941–45 partizan insurrection and of the postwar attempt at a socialist democracy. The second or miserable singularity was the stasis and then the suicide of the ruling partitocracy.

Studying such ideas allows insights into the extent to which the post-communist political-economic order has won the acceptance of important segments of society; about how the mobilized parts of the working class perceive the country’s political leaders, and about the actions and alliances pursued by various workers’ organizations against politicians and business groups. The study shows how workers’ and other marginal groups’ organizations depict reality in their public declarations so as to facilitate the emergence of a large alliance of have-nots on the basis of total rejection of Ukraine’s post-1991 political and economic establishment.

The article will single out and discuss two conflicting approaches to the study of the Balkans: the Balkans as the post-colonial space favoured by philosophers and literary critics, and the more historical approaches developed by the historians of the region and the Ottoman Empire. The article will emphasize some new developments in Ottoman historiography and post-colonial studies and their significance for the Balkan studies.

It argues that the implementation of neoliberal market reforms along the lines laid out by the IMF, EBRD, EU, and WTO has facilitated the formation of “black holes” in the country’s economy. Through creating legal spaces for tax evasion, capital flight, money laundering, administrative and tax pressures, the country’s productive base continues to be subjected to a process of accumulation by dispossession, deepening socio-economic disparities and furthering transnationalization of the state. Covered by the discursive and legal façade of pluralist democracy, the large-scale embezzlement of economic assets undermines the stabilisation of a new social order whilst disrupting relations with foreign states and transnational business. The paper looks at (1) privatisation including the transfer of state-owned enterprises to financial industrial groups mostly controlled by oligarchs; (2) FDI regulations, the chronology of their reform, and their uneven implications for accumulation by both domestic and foreign capitals; (3) the creation and functioning of special economic zones and capital operation in those zones; and (4) tender and state-purchasing legislation reform and procedure abuse.

The paper notes that social scientists and area specialists have lagged behind health and demographic specialists in drawing attention to the links between social inequality and death in Russia. It suggests that social epidemiological approaches offer a way to link the analysis of death to the economic and social structures of society in Russia.

The dispute over post-communism in Poland was initially conditioned mainly by ideological divisions (first half of the 1990s) and later by a ‘competition of power’ (especially from 2000). The specific role played by the presidents in the debate over the communist past and post-communist reality of Poland resulted from his insufficiently defined position in the political system, as well as from the fact that up to 2010 the presidency was held by key actors on the political scene. The results of the 2010 presidential elections as well as the progress of democratization showed that the potential for debating about post-communism was being exhausted. The elections can therefore be seen as a symbolic break, marking the end of post-communism.

The analysis is concentrated around the issues of the Party’s ideology, political programme, organization, membership and strategy. The basic conclusions are that the KSCM is a reformed Communist Party, which adopted an ideology and political programme similar to those of Eurocommunism and that it abandoned the former ideology of so-called state socialism in fundamental ways. Although its membership is old, its voter base is composed not only of pensioners but also of workers and other losers in transition. Its strategy is dominantly concentrated on parliamentary work which in the long run has to be chRiegl, Martinanged in order to obtain greater influence in social movements and trade unions.

The research question addressed by the paper is how and under what external and internal conditions the institutions of social dialogue in Bulgaria have been built and have evolved over time. The methodology is based on previous academic research in this field, official national and EU documents, newspapers and semi-structured interviews with representatives from trade unions and employers’ organisations as well as foreign experts. The overall conclusions comprise two interrelated points. First of all, EU conditionality became the main source of change in the area of social dialogue at the national level through technical assistance and the dissemination of ideas and “best practices”. However, it didn’t have the same impact in respect of negotiations at sectoral/branch and local levels. Secondly, its role was limited to the time of enlargement negotiations, and above all the effects of its influence were strongly dependent on the commitment of internal actors. These findings therefore support the idea of an impact of the EU mediated primarily by internal actors. However, it is necessary to add a further consideration regarding the intrinsic reasons for the limited and temporary influence of the EU. Concerning the notion of a European social model, the development of integration in this respect can in fact be considered as being only embryonic at the present moment. This becomes even more evident when we look at the secondary role played by those issues during accession. Therefore, if it is possible to draw conclusions about the more general process of Europeanization, these inevitably comprise recognising the causal link between the delay of European integration in the field of social dialogue, and the subsequently limited ability of the EU to play a role in candidate countries and even Member States.

To do this, a 2006 survey involving face-to-face interviews with 331 entrepreneurs in Ukraine is reported. This displays that the vast majority do not conform to the depiction of the entrepreneur as a heroic icon of capitalism; just 8% of the Ukrainian entrepreneurs surveyed are engaged purely in profit-driven entrepreneurship in the legitimate economy. The vast majority of entrepreneurs either do not pursue purely profit-driven goals and adopt social motives to varying degrees, and/or operate wholly or partially beyond the legitimate economy. In doing so, this study reveals that entrepreneurship and the enterprise culture can no longer be taken as signifying the transition to a capitalist economy in this post-Soviet space. Instead, its multiple forms are here argued to open up entrepreneurship to re-signification as demonstrative of the feasibility of alternative economic futures in post-Soviet spaces beyond an immutable and inevitable legitimate profit-driven capitalist economy.

While the goals of the resistance movements were clear – to reverse the authoritarian tendencies of neoliberalism and establish genuine democracy and to search for an alternative to capitalism –, methods of achieving it were much less so. In the article we review and compare the arguments of two main sides in the debate: socialist and autonomist.

The protest wave, which swept Slovenia in late 2012 and forced the resignation of the government, represents just the most visible example of recent attempts to articulate political opposition in the Balkan streets. Parallel to these manifestations of dissatisfaction, often labelled as “Facebook” or “spontaneous” protests by the media, the region is also witnessing increasing stirrings inside organised labour. The article sets forward the perspectives for linking up these two types of movements and envisages the role the forces of the political left could play in this process. It argues that citizens’ initiatives and street mobilizations could gain stability and political homogenization by recognising the working class as the prime actor of social change. On the other hand, by opening up to broader social mobilizations, the workers’ movements could potentially democratise their structures and tackle various political themes, which go beyond the narrow limits imposed by the trade unions, capital and the state through the institution of “social dialogue”.

Its focus is on the three-volume novel of political fiction by Miroslav Krleža, The Banquet in Blitva (1938, 1939, 1963). Krleža (1893–1981) was one of the greatest twentieth century Yugoslav (Croatian) writers and dissident intellectuals. The novel is partly autobiographical and it is set in an imaginary East-Central European country, tells a story of an intellectual who publicly takes a stand against a corrupt dictatorship, affirming the principles of justice and the rule of law. Importantly, the anguishes and inner struggles of certain well-known real-life non-conformist intellectuals and dissidents, evidenced by their autobiographical non-fiction, are compared to the experiences of Krleža’s hero. My conclusion is that a Lacanian perspective can give an answer as to the high psychological costs of dissidence and explain under what conditions they may be avoided.

Earlier research argues that the era of mass liberal democracies brought such practices to an end. However, empirical evidence indicates that this is not the case. Using a qualitative approach, this single-case study shows how the territorial division of votes in a relatively stable environment of party competition can foster the existence of electoral bribes. Its central argument is that political parties use this mechanism both to preserve their territorial strongholds and with the aim of gaining supplementary support from potential swing voters.

The conclusions drawn are interesting and shed light on further developments of the new state. If other Soviet republics reached similar events through the actions of nationalist forces, in Ukraine the decisive factor was the communist conservative circles’ desire to separate themselves from Gorbachev’s and later on from Yeltsin’s reforms. The alliance with the nationalist forces made possible the referendum result which was overwhelmingly for independence. The immediate consequences of the act of 1 December 1991 were, primarily, the Soviet Union collapse, followed by numerous ethnic tensions that have even led to economic destabilization. On the other hand, the new state entered into a long series of diplomatic tensions with both Russia and Romania over Ukrainian territories inhabited mostly by Russian or Romanian populations and with great strategic importance.

Abstract: Youth unemployment is seen nowadays as one of the most severe problems in Europe. The leaders of the European Union (EU) devoted a whole summit to the issue in July 2013. The problem seems fierce not only because jobless youth is expensive for the society – EUR 153 billion or 1.2% of the GDP in the EU in 2011 – but also because it affects the future of it. If an increasing part of the new generation begins its adult life with the feeling of being unnecessary and having no chance to integrate into the mainstream society, the future will be burdened with more and more inexperienced and disappointed people with all the consequences of this. Therefore, the mitigation of youth unemployment is of the utmost importance. To be successful, however, we have to understand the magnitude and the roots of the situation.

In this sense, the history of Post-Communist Central Asian youth has been a unique one. Although “Central Asian” is a construct encompassing highly diverse cultures, it does connote a collective that underwent the same historical experience, i.e. life under the now-gone Soviet political system. In that respect, “Central Asian” is comparable to the notion of the “melting pot”, and in the original Soviet-era melting pot, young people were valorized as the “Great State of the Future” and were brought up in an environment that shaped them according to the so-called “Moral Code of Communism”. However, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, many Central Asian young people saw their world turned upside down, as their status reduced and their financial and political future became uncertain. In this paper, I have attempted to examine and explore this dilemma, which confronts the majority of young people in contemporary Central Asia, particularly in Uzbekistan.

The author explains the distinction between academic theories and political doctrines and argues that in Russia the borderline between the two is often fuzzy. Then he categorizes foreign policy discourses as political (with realism and conservative normativism as the two most telling examples) and post-political / de–politicized. Each of these discourses is presented from the structure – agency perspective.

The finding is that personal networks are still commonly and widely used. However, unlike Soviet era blat which was non-monetized friendly help, control over access to assets and possessing personal connections to those controlling access to assets, has become a commodity bought and sold for illicit monetary payments. The paper concludes by discussing how this corrupt practice might be tackled.

Around 1990 the entire “scientific paradigm” of such Marxism from all three phases crumbled. Marx’s legacy can only be revived by reinstating his insistence on a full and mainly direct democracy. Part 2 deals with the concept and role of the communist party from Marx through Lenin, Stalin and others to Mao. A look backward at it poses the problem of the ossified vanguard, and possible alternative models from Gramsci and Brecht.

Although many authors have tried to analyse its determinants and output, there is a lack of understanding of how Latvia’s internal idiosyncrasies interact with external factors in determining the crisis. This article discusses the international political economy of crisis in Latvia, analysing the interaction between external and internal factors as determinants of one of the biggest failures of Neoliberalism to promote social and economic development. To do this, the idea of duality developed by Ignácio Rangel to explain the Brazilian process of economic development is applied to the Latvian case, establishing the dynamics of Latvia’s own dualities. In this way, it is possible to discuss not only the causes of the crisis, but also its effects. On the external side, it results from the ideological imposition of Neoliberal policies; on the internal side, it results from the political and economic elite’s incapacity to adopt pragmatic economic policies to foster development. After joining the European Union, this process was aggravated, as accession favoured the establishment of speculation in real estate and consumption of durable goods as Latvia’s most significant sectors of GDP. Because of Latvia’s third duality, Neoliberalism is not only a social, economic, and political form of regulation, but also symbolises denying the country’s Soviet past. As a result, the policies chosen to deal with the crisis can be described as “more of the same.” The hope is that adopting the euro can solve problems that, in reality, are the outcome of structural underdevelopment.

The transformation of the structure of civil society organizations towards membership-poor forms, a trend observable in the West, is replicated by the Polish Left. Their preference for discursive action and their focus on media presence can be observed. An ideological profile that rejects delegation and requires active engagement shapes decision-making on membership recruitment. The power of arguments is considered a way of gaining influence rather than through power of numbers.

At the same time the USA became the symbol of all that was negative in these changes. These attitudes had been shaped during the first years of Putin’s tenure. The views of Alexander Dugin, the seminal Russian philosopher, could here be an example.

Hopes and Perils of the Euromaidan Protests in Ukraine Abstract: This paper discusses the hopes of Ukrainians who participated in Euromaidan anti-government protests in November–December 2013, in particular resistance to police violence and demands of better living standards associated with utopian visions of “Europe” and “democracy”. It also discusses some of the challenges currently faced by this movement's tolerance of rightwing radicals in its midst as the “lesser evil” in the struggle against the regime. It argues that a truly progressive movement must break with the false dichotomy of “Nazis vs. bandits” and address the pressing socio-economic problems and civil rights violations in the country.

The analysis covers the three most important social subsystems: political, economic and cultural. It demonstrates that the new capitalist and nationalist orthodoxy led on the one hand to the replacement of old “communist” irrationalities with new neoliberal ones and on the other hand to the destruction of healthy economic structures and civilizational accomplishments from the previous system. A special accent is placed upon the unbroken historical pattern of petrifaction of certain social structures over the long term, regardless of seemingly radical political changes. The article points out that in order to pursue its own material interests, the governing nomenklatura carried out the transition process from a one party to a multiparty system in a systematic way, from an organized and relatively stable economy based on industry to a devastated and parasitical economy, entirely dependent on foreign investment, as well as from cultural modernism to retrograde traditionalism.

In this paper, national communism in Ukraine is discussed as the only possible legal opposition to the Soviet authority that arose from the contradiction between the interests of the centralized state (in the Soviet Union as a whole) and claims for national self-determination either in cultural, economic or political dimensions (in the union republics). It is argued that national communist opposition was latently presented during all 70 years of Soviet rule; however, certain periods, when national communism succeeded in entering the political scene with clear demands against an anti-national Soviet policy, are distinguished. Each period is discussed with reference to the political situation in the USSR which enabled the activization of the national movement in Ukraine and its further penetration into the local party apparatus. Conclusions on the vitality of national communist ideas in contemporary Ukrainian society are drawn.

One year after its official creation the People’s Party Dan Diaconescu (PPDD) has mobilised a relevant amount of electoral support, ending third as the number of seats in Parliament. This article seeks to explain the political development of this populist party until its 2012 success. It uses a qualitative analysis based on primary (manifesto, organisational structure) and secondary (media reports, surveys) data. The analysis focuses on three dimensions: institutions (political competitors and party organisation), ideology, and attitudes (of the elites and voters).

It is argued that the prominent roles played for a time by Georgia and Romania and their unprecedented influence on Black Sea political and security developments were due to foreign policy options stemming from the “new populist” character of national leaders. The latter took advantage of post-9/11 US regional involvement in order to enhance their international profile and thus increase their domestic mass support. Bulgarian and Ukrainian “new populist” leaders failed to conduct similarly visible regional policies mainly due to domestic factors.

The aim of this paper is to start to evaluate critically these competing theories by comparing cross-national variations in the size of the shadow economy with the various aspects of the broader economic and social environment denoted as determinants of the shadow economy in each of the theories. The finding is that across Central and Eastern Europe, smaller shadow economies prevail in wealthier, more modern and equal societies and countries with higher levels of social protection expenditure, greater state intervention in the labour market, more effective social transfers and lower levels of poverty. No evidence is, therefore, found to support the neoliberal suggestion that decreasing tax rates, deregulating the economy and cutting back work and welfare expenditure by the state will reduce the shadow economy. The paper concludes by discussing the theoretical and policy implications of the findings.

Four case studies will be used to analyze Russia’s energy transit policy in the Baltic Sea region. First, the 2003 closure of the oil pipeline in the port city Venstpils in Latvia, second, the closure of the Druzbha oil pipeline in Lithuania in 2006, third, the construction of the Nord Stream pipeline, and finally, the construction of new Russian ports in Ust-Luga and Primorsk. The case studies will be carried out using a theoretical framework based on Alexander Wendt’s constructivist works as well as David Lake’s works on hierarchy in international relations. This article concludes that Russia has accepted the fact that the Baltic states were not willing to enter into a hierarchical relationship and that Russia recognizes the Baltic states as independent neighbours. While this does not improve the energy security situation for the Baltic states, it does suggest progress in the normalization of Baltic-Russian relations which could lead to an improved security environment in the future.

The Russian official measurement and general approach to the study of poverty are not adequate to targeting the involvement of wider social groups in poverty reduction. This process needs a new approach for investigating poverty in Russia and the implementation of new social security services. A new approach could be based on interaction between people in difficult situations, local society, authorities and other stakeholders. This paper examines the opportunity to employ the idea of a participatory methodology for providing social security in the Russian Federation.

We compare three groups: politically active philanthropists, non-politically active philanthropists and politically active non-philanthropists. Findings show that poverty reduction efforts made by the selected elite members are rather negligible. While the wealthiest business owners focus on non-poverty reductive single-shot actions, politicians seem to emphasize non-poverty reductive long-term projects. Those with both political and economic capital tend to use either both types of capital or none of them to ease the situation for the most vulnerable groups.

The historical biographic perspective allows reproducing common social experiences which have formed this generation. The in-depth biographical interviews were conducted with six men of age 46–63, single, with officially low income, who started their working lives in the public sector. The research shows the diversity of men’s alternative life strategies to adjust to the neoliberal economy established after the collapse of the USSR.

Women working in the social sphere have created their own support networks for helping people to take part in state programmes and to become entitled to support in one way or the other. Their agenda is clearly larger than the directives they might be subject to from above. They use relations to create resources. Analysing the agency of women who are professionally working in the social sphere supports distinguishing their potential roles of empowering the poor from their controlling roles. Empirical data are based on qualitative interviews with social work experts, social workers, social pedagogues at schools, teachers, doctor’s assistants, local politicians and deputies of commissions or local village councils in two Russian regions.

It draws on both survey data and interviews. On the basis of the survey, a factor analysis was carried out. This gives evidence to four common types of reactions to poverty. The article shows that being able to use rights, resources and relations is not enough to overcome poverty. Working more, while trying to reduce expenses just to cope, means that poor families are particularly vulnerable to changes that could start a downward process. The small percentage of those who succeed highlights the need for supporting structures. The paper argues that the supporting role of public authorities is especially important when considering the possibilities for poor people themselves to take actions.

It draws on theorizations of poverty as a subjective reality which is socially constructed and maybe differently perceived by different subsections of the population. The paper argues that perceptions of poverty matter, because they feed into both formal categorizations of need and entitlement to assistance or support and more informal, cultural understandings of impoverishment which may be morally and emotionally inflected.

As changes in the labour and housing markets led to a growing number of the homeless in Ukrainian cities, social policy moved towards moral evaluation of the homeless individual as “deserving” or “undeserving” which is unlikely to resolve the problem of homelessness at a structural level. On the contrary, affordable housing and access to decent work as universal rights guaranteed to all should be among the priorities of state policy and non-governmental institutions alike.

It focuses on the transformations of care practices and infrastructures in terms of biopolitical shifts. By building on ethnographic fieldwork surrounding a now closed neuropsychiatric hospital for children in Romania, interviews and informal conversations with formerly institutionalized children from the institution, carers, professionals and volunteers, it traces both the transformations of the institution and its follow-up services from the 1950s to 2015, as well as the practices prevalent in these institutions and the ways in which these reflected dominant moral and political orders and how they were enacted in everyday life. It concludes that although biopolitical infrastructures and practices have changed greatly during the period under study, continuities can be observed in the ways in which productivist logics still work to exclude as well as include people with disabilities – thus perpetuating practices of hierarchization in relation to social inclusion based on economic criteria. Moreover, biopolitical shifts were not linear, but involved contradictory movements and logics, and entanglements of multiple transformation processes.

They were given certain special rights such as Sorbian language teaching, and received institutional support. In this context, in the decades after the Second World War, a differentiated organizational structure was systematically constructed in the field of Sorbian cultural work. The social changes after 1989/90 led to a profound transformation of this structure and among the actors involved. Established and institutionalized forms of cultural work were dissolved rapidly, e.g. folk art groups usually linked to schools or publicly-owned companies, such as choirs, dance groups or textile circles. In order to absorb these dissolution processes, new sponsorships often emerged, usually in the form of registered associations. In this article, we explore these developments using the example of the House for Sorbian Folk Art (1956-1995), which was a central hub of Sorbian cultural activity. On the one hand, we address questions about the house’s activities regarding to the preservation and promotion of ethnicity. On the other hand, we examine developments after the political turnaround, whereby we focus on the changing approaches to cultural heritage and the impact of its dissolution on the contemporary promotion in the field of Sorbian cultural work.

Figurations of remembering and former state-owned enterprises in post-1989 Eastern Germany Abstract: The post-socialist transformation of Eastern Germany exterted a decisive influence on the world of work. The privatization and liquidation of the State-Owned Enterprises (Volkseigene Betriebe, VEB) changed the lives of their employees. Not only was an employee’s employment status suddenly called into question, but also their everyday lives and social environment. Today, many former members of the VEB workforce remain dedicated to preserving the memory of their factories. To achieve this, they drew on their social contacts from VEB settings and formed associations, initiatives, and interest groups. This article explores the new forms of togetherness and social cohesion created by those active in these groups, in addition to their motivations for establishing these associations. Adopting an actor-centred perspective, the article introduces two case studies drawn from a broader body of interview material gathered as part of a three-year ethnographic research project. Both case studies illustrate the interconnections between individual life stories and involvement with specific associations. The case studies are followed by a discussion of open-ended interpretive approaches that present possible ways of deepening the analysis of this material. With reference to the case studies, I suggest describing the groups and their activities in terms of “figurations of remembering.” Journal: Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe Pages: 67-81 Issue: 1 Volume: 31 Year: 2023 Month: 01 X-DOI: 10.1080/25739638.2023.2182505 File-URL: http://hdl.handle.net/10.1080/25739638.2023.2182505 File-Format: text/html File-Restriction: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.

After 1989, the cultural infrastructure largely collapsed together with the state. The vacuum following socialist state subsidy opened up opportunities that were partially seized by international sponsors in the East-Central European region; the Soros Foundation and the ERSTE Stiftung were the two most important of them. Both organizations developed an extensive network of cultural workers across post-socialist Eastern Europe. With their programmes, the two foundations made considerable efforts to make known and brand East and Southeast European art on an international stage. Nevertheless, they, or rather their relevance for the cultural field of post-socialist East-Central Europe, are hardly known outside the region. Based on the insight of central actors in both these networks, this contribution revisits the activities of the two major donors and assesses their impact from today’s perspective.

Social movements, panoramas of struggle and Baltic austerity politics Abstract: The recent thirtieth anniversaries of restored Baltic territorial sovereignties coincide with a quandary in which the region appears “highly unequal but classless.” This article revisits the conduct of the 2008–2011 crisis management operations through the prisms of class struggle and social movements. It conceptualizes the imposition of austerity measures as a class-constituted social movement from above. I argue that the latter has to be positioned relationally against locally articulated forms of resistance from below that have so far remained insufficiently explored. Therefore, the practice of unearthing Baltic “militant particularisms” carries the potential of subverting the “absent protest thesis” in the imposition of austerity on the region’s populations.

This article now combines both concepts in an examination of voluntary care practices in People’s Solidarity (PS, Volkssolidarität), an East German organization that has specialized in elder care since the post-war period. The study explores the motivations and perceptions of people who have volunteered in this organization from late socialism to the post-1989 transformation period. Having experienced both state-socialist and post-socialist East Germany, their particular notions of society, care, gender, ageing, and belonging have hardly been recorded so far. Their voices introduce alternative narratives of solidarity and agency, and thus contribute to a more nuanced understanding of East German transformation experiences. Revisiting informal care for the elderly is a subject that remains acutely relevant up to today. “Who cares for the elderly?” is a question these people have answered with determination and initiative over the past thirty years. The article explores the extent to which their practices of volunteering and caring intertwined with their diverse responses to the post-socialist transformation.

In the event of a positive decision on registration, the state’s control over a given church or religious association ends. The knowledge gaps are therefore enormous. For example, we do not know the real number of legally operating churches and religious associations in Poland or the number of followers of many of them. This article contains an analysis of the currently adopted legal solutions, methods of conducting statistical research and the most important methodological problems. In conclusion, the author offers solutions aimed at improving religious statistics in Poland. The primary goal is to develop a new research approach that takes into account past gaps and errors.

In the summer of 1989, a group of West German art enthusiasts (patrons, collectors, and entrepreneurs) travelled to Leipzig to meet the East German art historian Klaus Werner. The latter put forth the idea of establishing a new museum in his town, which the West German colleagues accepted and a plan was set in motion. Still, without its own building, the GfZK organized remarkable exhibitions and projects in public spaces throughout the 1990s. At the same time, concerns evoked that the “imported” novel artistic positions would devalue local art production and that, through their money, the private patrons were gaining disproportionate influence to shape public taste and the concept of art. From today’s perspective, both assumptions can be debunked. Through its financing in a public–private partnership, GfZK has embodied a unique museum model in the eastern German states, and the model has proved to be exceptionally productive even beyond the founding years.

The cultural and creative sector in transformation from the perspective of arts professionals in the Sorbian ethnic minority Abstract: The political system change in Germany in 1989/90 also led to fundamental changes in the cultural and creative sector. As a result of the shift from a planned to a free market economy, the number of freelance cultural workers increased significantly. This article discusses how the transformation of the cultural and creative sector affected the ethnic minority of the Sorbs in Germany. The particular challenge here is how the actors balance their everyday life and participation in cultural practices on the one hand, and a commodification of what is considered cultural heritage on the other. Using the example of the freelance Sorbian composer Juro Mětšk (*1954 † 2022), the project explores the questions of what effects the all-encompassing social changes had on the activities and products of cultural workers, when and why they decided to work freelance and to what extent being Sorbian became a determinant for their work. In addition to Juro Mětšk’s written testimonies, this paper is also based on the analysis of a detailed interview on this topic conducted by the author in 2021.

While the existing literature has primarily focused on urban contexts in a variety of European countries, this essay analyses the Hungarian countryside with a focus on small towns and villages where and around which inhabitants were mostly agrarian workers. The agrarian population was especially hard hit by the increasingly coercive wartime economic measures, and especially by the high cost of living and the break-down in food supply. Using archival sources and news reports, the article approaches food riots as a form of labour activism signalling (agrarian) women’s efforts to improve their desperate living and working conditions and, thus, as a local political response to the international and national political and economic crisis that unfolded in the Dual Monarchy shortly before its disintegration during the second phase of the Great War. It pays particular attention to participants’ social/ethnic background, agendas, and repertoires of action, including the antisemitic character of some of the riots and authorities’ reaction to these uprisings. The essay, thus, also examines the interactions between members of local-level (un)organized activism and regional and national governance.

Ion and labour activism in the Romanian tobacco sector, 1920s to 1940s Abstract: What did it mean to be a woman labour activist in a state-owned industry in Romania before 1945? In this article, I construct a political biography of Paraschiva B. Ion, a worker and trade unionist in the “Belvedere” tobacco factory in Bucharest during the interwar period. P. B. Ion led factory- and national-level social democratic trade unions and served as an elected delegate to factory-level and municipal-level workers’ representative bodies. At the same time, she participated in labour control practices, including during the Second World War. I argue that P. B. Ion’s career illustrates how, in the interwar period, women labour activists in social democratic trade unions in Romania could become more prominent participants in labour governance on the shop floor, municipal, and national levels while not being involved in labour governance at the international scale. Like other trade unionists in Europe, at times, P.B. Ion supported certain claims made by women workers (including through expert knowledge production) and at other times restrained them. I position P. B. Ion’s activism in a domestic context marked by competing labour agitation and organizing in the tobacco sector, activities shaped by a legal framework that hindered labour organizing.

This article explores continuities and changes in the struggle to adopt and enforce the eight-hour day, conceptualizing them as parts of a single negotiated social process. The article employs a gendered and multi-scale approach to explore how working time limits were negotiated on and between the shop floor, the national political stage, and in international labour organizations by diverse social groups such as (un)organized (women) workers, trade unions and labour activists with various political affiliations, the state through its labour inspectorate, as well the International Labour Organization. The article goes beyond the gender-neutral language of legal documents, instead arguing that the eight-hour day was conceptualized differently – with some variations depending on women’s life-course stage and social circumstances – and held particular importance for women workers.

Following a discussion of the concept of performativity as it pertains to the subject of our study, we contextualize the process of the procurement of the Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV vaccine by Hungary to situate the significance of this transaction, along with that of the performance under review, in the post-2010 evolution of broader Sino-Hungarian government ties. We then submit footage of PM Orbán’s vaccination to multimodal critical discourse analysis, identifying several noteworthy features of this performance. We also examine similar performances by other heads of state and government, offering evidence that – having gone beyond the purposes of public health messaging to constitute a simultaneous enactment of foreign policy (and more) – PM Orbán deviated considerably from the consensus norms of public vaccination that have emerged in the reference group. This further indicates that his public vaccination with BBIBP-CorV was both a peculiar instance of vaccine diplomacy and a “demand-driven” manifestation of Chinese influence in Hungary.

Part of the State Labour Inspectorate since its creation in 1919, women inspectors often combined their professional duties with a distinctly activist stance. Like their male colleagues, they ensured compliance with labour legislation by performing factory visits and collecting information on the conditions of workers’ lives and labour. But they also led campaigns in the press, published books and brochures intended to mobilize public opinion around issues related to the labour of women and minors, and sought to build activist networks aimed at the improvement of women workers’ conditions. They exposed particularly exploitative labour arrangements, such as the labour of underage apprentices, and conceptualized them as urgent social problems. These multiple engagements meant that women labour inspectors moved between different scales of action including direct intervention on the shop floor, research and publications aimed at a national audience, and transnational contacts with the International Labour Organization, which had been committed to improving women workers’ conditions since its inception.

Both paid and unpaid jobs occur intensively in the family environment due to anti-epidemic measures of physical distancing. School closures introduce a novel element of unpaid work: intensive parental participation in the educational process during distance schooling, which requires additional competencies, time and effort, as well as the need to reconcile work with these new obligations. The analysis is based on original CAWI pseudo-longitudinal surveys, conducted during the first (April-May 2020) and second lockdowns (November-December 2020) in Bulgaria, as well as data on changes in personal contacts with family and friends, help given and received, personal care given and received from SHARE Survey, Wave 8 COVID-19 Survey 1 (July-August 2020). Terminological distinction is made between online and distance learning, because the pressures on parents vary. A push-pull model is elaborated, which could influence coping patterns when children are in home schooling due to lockdowns. The main coping pattern observed is that families were better prepared for the second lockdown, because by this time they had grandparents living in the same household.

Most of the studies fell short of labelling it correctly, revealing causes and suggesting possible solutions because they did not consider the conflict in the broader perspective of Russian-Ukrainian relations. One of the reasons of this failure is a narrative about Ukrainian society which is created and spread by Russian politicians, diplomats, academics, and the media. This narrative has evolved to legitimize the Russian large-scale invasion by labelling it as “a special military operation.” Based on the data available, the paper provides a deconstruction of the current narrative, identifying its four main claims, and demonstrates that the declared premises are false. The realization of profound intentions aimed at imposing its own rule, which are embedded in the Russian narrative, means reversing a historical process of long-term national development and is only possible through the genocide of population of Ukraine within a sorely repressive occupation regime. Hence, the Russian colonial war against Ukraine is not justifiable, has disastrous and enduring consequences, and cannot be tolerated.

In more affluent countries, part-time work has evolved from a special form of employment to a gendered norm in the past six decades, whereas in state-socialist and post-state-socialist Europe, this model of women’s employment played a much less pronounced role historically. Albeit contested, part-time work has been a concern of women trade unionists since the 1950s. This article examines the emergence and evolution of an important trend in the history of women’s work from a multi-level perspective. It explores how women activists in the ICFTU, the ILO and in Austria dealt with part-time work as a method of harmonizing women’s unpaid and paid work. Collaboration with the ILO played an important role in Austrian developments, and Austrian activists aimed to impact on international decision-making. Furthermore, the article shows the rather hidden role women civil servants played in generating knowledge on the topic. This analysis of the evolution of the gendered norm of part-time work and its contestation contributes to recent research on shifts in reproductive arrangements and gender relations in the second half of the twentieth century.

This paper analyzes the risk of social unrest in various European political systems in relation to the interaction of environmental stress and electoral institutions. We use a spatially and temporally disaggregated dataset to examine the possible relationships between environmental stress and social unrest in all European Union member countries from 2000 to 2020. We find that there are stark differences between the observed interaction of majoritarian electoral features and environmentally induced unrest in those European states with a history of Communist rule or climate vulnerability versus the rest of Europe. Overall, these results suggest that electoral systems play an important but heterogenous role in the understanding of climate change and political unrest.

I argue that ICWG women made household labour a policy issue in its own right and provided space for debates between women of diverse ideological positions coming from different political and economic systems and national contexts. Zooming in on key publications and paying attention to the organizational dynamics and complex relationship between communists and social democrats in the ICWG, I first explore how the ICWG discussed household labour and the solutions it offered to reduce the burden of such work. In the second part of the analysis, I argue that because it was crucial to their work, ICWG women inserted aspects of household labour into international discussions on women’s and/or labour-related issues. By doing so, they tried to 1) establish themselves as experts on household labour-based issues and 2) advance how topics such as popular nutrition and maternal deaths were approached in international settings.

Communist-led Women’s Trade Unionism Between the Hungarian Shop Floor and Top-level Internationalism, 1947 to 1959 Abstract: This exploratory article discusses the politics of promoting women’s trade unionism in Hungary and at the World Federation of Trade Unions from the late 1940s to the late 1950s. It examines the factors that propelled and restricted the development of these politics on, and shaped their travel between, the workplace and the national and international scales. In Hungary, a network of women trade unionists combined their alignment with the political and productivist sides of the project of “building socialism” with activities aimed at the cultural and social “elevation” of women workers and the promotion of their trade unionism. On the international plane, the position of the Central and Eastern European politics of women’s trade unionism was likewise, though very differently, impacted by the emphasis on “building socialism.” Within the women’s politics pursued by the WFTU internationally, the distinctions made between socialist, capitalist, and colonial countries translated into rather restrictive roles envisioned for Central European women’s trade unionism. For a variety of reasons, which were related to all scales of action, the connection between the WFTU’s politics of promoting women’s trade unionism and the activities developed by the Hungarian women trade unionists remained rather weak during the period.

It aims to demonstrate the instrumental logic lurking behind the gender rhetoric employed by the Far Right and bring to the fore both points of convergence and divergence. With regards to the Metaxas regime the article discusses the contradictions marking the official propaganda on women which seems to oscillate between deeply rooted conservative ideas on women’s role on the one hand, and the promotion of new ideals of femininity on the other hand. Fast-forward to today, the article examines the ways gender issues are manipulated by the emerging Alt Right in Greece. Via the theoretical lens of femonationalism and homonationalism, the article brings to the fore the contradictions between the breakthroughs with regards to feminist and LGBTQI demands on the one hand, and the systematic attempts to reintroduce an ultra-conservative agenda with regards to gender issues in Greece on the other hand.

Material grounds for an anti-migrant turn in a global-historical perspective? Abstract: Seeking to understand how socio-historical factors shaped global emigration trends in the new globalization cycle and how Eastern Europe’s integration into these processes might be linked to the rising nationalism and anti-migrant attitudes of this region, we created macro-models on a worldwide sample of 77 countries and examined the impact of the socio-economic change of the early 90’s on later emigration trends. The key research question refers to the macro-historical processes, which facilitated the spread and the rise of anti-migrant nationalism in Eastern Europe. Based on log-linear regression results, we found evidences, which support Bibó’s idea on how the historically evolving “misery” and insecurity of East European nations triggered migration anxieties in the opening-up phase of globalisation. Even though somewhat different developmental trajectories and structural pathways characterize the countries of this region – in terms of the cumulative impacts of opening up to global capital markets, the increasing incomes or re-ruralisation – an ex-socialist Eastern Europe at the fringe of an unequal and open market block seems to be a prime example of how the above pathways could have shaped public mentalities.

The reason for this is, among other things, that the development of this area is decisive from the point of view of the physical and mental condition of individuals and, consequently, the future of a society. In the course of history, state activity on the subject can be observed from the development of the idea of the social state in the 20th century. In the case of Hungary, a similar trend can be observed, which, however, is significantly shaded by the fact that, as a result of historical processes, physical culture has been at the service of power – in different ways and to varying degrees – almost to this day. In this context, this study examines the period between the two world wars. The topic is particularly interesting nowadays, when the relationship between sports and politics is strong in Hungary, and when the ruling government likes to look back to the history of the period between the two world wars for examples.

Author-X-Name-Last: Muntean Title: Marriage and the reproductive regime of a digitally connected Roma diaspora Abstract: This paper analyzes the marriage, family, and reproductive regimes prevalent in a Roma group that, in the post-socialist period, has moved from Romania to over 16 countries in Western Europe and North America. It is based on a long-term collaborative ethnography that allowed the detailed reconstitution of 807 unions held from 1938 to 2021. Family networks in this diaspora have today a transnational character and maintain an intense social interaction by digital means. The paper will show how a partly autonomous social order is constituted and reproduced by a marriage and kinship system that involves gender formations and autonomous domestic development cycles. At its core is an implicit and successful reproductive regime that is often assumed to be biologically determined, and of no value to cultural analysis. Marriages tend to be universal, adolescent, pronatalist, and endogamous (often consanguineous) within this “community of understanding.” They are also negotiated and arranged by paterfamilias following a literal patriarchy or father rule. However, young people often act on their preferences influencing their parents or eloping. Marriages as household exchanges are launched by three major economic transactions. These transactions open the horizontal “circulation” of women and wealth between households following viri-patrilocal residence norms that generate patrigroups and fraternal coalitions.

The cultural relations between Italy and Estonia could be divided into two time periods: the first one, from 1921 to 1931, when Italy tried to establish the foundations of its cultural influence in Estonia; the second one, from 1932 to 1939. In the latter period, the growth of Italian diplomatic influence abroad corresponded to a more precise propaganda project, outlined not only by the Italian diplomatic mission in Tallinn, but also by three key episodes: the Volta Conference in Rome, the establishment of C.A.U.R (Comitati d’Azione per l’Universalità di Roma/Action Committees for the Universality of Rome) in 1932 and 1933 respectively, and the foundation of the Ministry of Popular Culture in 1937.

This sovereignty debate in the periphery of Europe regarding cyberspace is emerging and it has become an area in which national authorities have sought to claim their share. The paper analyses cyberspace and digitalization and how they have affected the understanding of sovereignty over cyberspace and how they have transformed the state in a specific country case study in the periphery of Europe. It achieves this by focusing on Albania. Cyberspace and digitalization have emerged as priorities for domestic politics, in which Tirana has endeavoured to act by applying the norms emerging internationally and they have been sources for the new role of Albanian institutions domestically. Albanian actors appear to have been less responsive to cyberspace responsibilities, by considering that Albania is not a powerful and rich enough to be a target of cyber attacks. In conditions where it has been responsive, the focus has been more on issues that concern general digitalization politics.

The members of this new group are the most successful in basket weaving, the special craft of local Roma, while they also share a common family history when they link their descent to a funding father who raised 11 children. The family histories of the descent – besides referring to supposed Hungarian ancestors/relatives – are told in terms of work ethic, education, and religious life that all resulted in wealth, thus creating a new local ethnic group whose members constantly contest their Roma ethnic belonging and delimit themselves from the ordinary Roma. This in-betweenness unfolds the certainties and uncertainties of social and economic life, the identities between self, family, and community. The case can be perceived as an example of the dynamics of local social life and offer a view on the renegotiation of group formation and ethnic boundaries.

Mass protests ensued. This article focuses on the untold story of a productive rupture that channelled the protesters’ efforts into a mass legal mobilization against the tribunal’s judgement to the European Court of Human Rights. These applications, known as the “Women’s Complaint,” were filed by over one thousand Polish women. Triangulating between analysis of interviews with human rights lawyers and feminist activists, and the legal reasoning of the petition, this article’s original contribution traces the evolution of the Women’s Complaint from a reproductive rights dispute to a challenge to the government’s authoritarian backsliding to better understand the relationship between social conflicts and legal mobilization. Reproductive rights and democratic values are inextricable; threats to one reinforce threats to the other. The Women’s Complaint is about women standing up for their reproductive rights and – in effect – spearheading a much broader rights-based litigation against authoritarianism.

After introducing what common traits characterized the region’s workers during the late period of state socialism, I will analyze in detail the post-communist transition, the processes of both de- and post-industrialization and the various impacts of globalization, including its subsequent realignment of social classes. Questions such as the transformed content of physical labour, the changes involved in identifying as a labourer and the work or survival strategies employed by certain groups of workers will also be briefly addressed.

Research on how museums align with sustainability is not a new topic, but rare in the context of contemporary art museums. The paper aims to analyse how European contemporary art museums have incorporated sustainability into their mission statements. The study uses a qualitative discourse analysis method to examine the content of the missions of 50 European contemporary art museums. From a regional perspective, in general, an openness towards sustainability and a holistic approach is less visible in the mission, but more so in non-CEE countries. Environmental management, economic stability and innovative, proactive behaviour are also stronger in non-CEE countries. In terms of societal roles CEE museums are primarily concerned with educating society, while non-CEE museums are already playing the role of the agent of change in social transformation.

The first part introduces Roma politics, describes the most important features of luxury consumption and marriage politics, and delineates the main types of interconnectedness and interplay between these two symbolic arenas. The second part, using a marital biographical perspective, sheds light on how one of these types of interconnectedness works through a detailed analysis of the establishment and dissolution of an engagement of historical importance among the Gabor Roma. This case study demonstrates why and how economic and political ambitions or constraints may shape individual and family-level strategies and decision-making concerning partner choice and marriage politics. The article serves as an insightful example of why a marital biographical perspective – based on concepts such as processuality, dynamism, relatedness, and context-sensitivity – is well suited to provide a nuanced insight into how the political economy of family life works in various ethnographic settings.

Since 2014, Alexander Lukashenko has refused to recognize the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and has tried to mediate the conflict by hosting peace talks in Minsk. Moreover, in 2018 and 2019, he refused Vladimir Putin’s proposals to deepen integration with Russia within the Union State. However, since the beginning of post-election protests and the imposition of harsh sanctions by the West, Alexander Lukashenko has tried to retain power and get closer to Russia. That is why he made a series of concessions to his Russian counterpart agreeing to adopt a new military doctrine of the Union State and to organize the military drills “Allied Resolve” on the territory of Belarus. This article examines how the Belarusian president reacted to Vladimir Putin’s attempts to lure him into the Russo-Ukrainian war throughout 2022. The paper shows that although initially, Alexander Lukashenko succumbed to Putin’s pressure to allow the Russian army to use Belarus to invade Ukraine, afterward he acted cautiously, avoiding at all costs the direct involvement of the Belarusian army in the war.

Explanations for inconsistencies between individuals and enduring tensions between groups must be sought in the complicated history of this ethnic borderland. Collective identities and peoplehood are plastic. Outcomes are shaped by many factors: language and religion are fundamental, but account must also be taken of the contingencies of imperial politics, violence, industrialization, and the aspirations of intellectuals. The distinction between historical and non-historical peoples is found to be useful, but neither Ernest Gellner’s theory of nationalism nor conventional accounts of colonialism have much traction in this case. The implicit presentism of those who sacralize state boundaries at one point in time in the name of “sovereignty” has affinities with the functionalist presentism developed by Bronisław Malinowski in very different, non-European contexts. While that paradigm has few adherents nowadays, Malinowski’s posthumous critique of the state and “political sovereignty” is salutary for understanding the ongoing catastrophe in Ukraine.

The general framework of the article is the Bosnian War (1992–1995), waged against the country and its civilians. The analytical basis is a literature review of various studies from the domains of sociology of knowledge, war sociology, and social epistemology. It is based on the perspective of the genocide in Bosnia as a process that began in northwest and east Bosnia in 1992 and terminated in Srebrenica in 1995 (in the municipality Prijedor in northwest Bosnia in 1992, more than 3000 civilians were killed). Mass crimes and the policy of fear mongering were intended to create and recreate the collective belief that coexistence in Bosnia was impossible and that establishing “ethnically pure cultures” and “ethnically pure territories” should be accepted as a deterministic historical necessity. The results of our research indicate that crimes against civilians can be “normalized” only after a “new social order” has been established as a war order with the help of media propaganda. Genocide can be committed only if the perpetrators (and its advocates acting in the name of specific identity politics) believe that committing violence can be justified by a “higher cause.” Journal: Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe Pages: 95-110 Issue: 1 Volume: 32 Year: 2024 Month: 01 X-DOI: 10.1080/25739638.2024.2320474 File-URL: http://hdl.handle.net/10.1080/25739638.2024.2320474 File-Format: text/html File-Restriction: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.

Croatian and Serbian experience in using militant democracy Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of a classical militant democracy instrument, as banning of extremist parties since the beginning of the political transition in 1990s in post-Yugoslav states. Comparative studies are based on Croatian and Serbian experiences, when since political transition new types of political regimes started developing as part of a boom for national parties that could guarantee consolidation of the state. The methods employed for the analysis are the qualitative analysis of sources. Corpus of sources includes national legislation, official documents, NGOs’ reports, and media content related to banning political entities. Conclusions from the study provide knowledge fill the gap in the state of art about circumstances for dissolving anti-democratic entities in the post-Yugoslav states. Moreover, they allow to verify relevant approaches and models of anti-democratic organizations, encompassing the specific types of political culture in Croatia and Serbia.

However, we know little about their determinants, especially among people who have not voted before. This article aims to explain the factors influencing the objective and subjective political knowledge of first-time voters. Our analysis uses individual level data from an original survey conducted in the aftermath of the 2019 presidential elections in Romania on 664 first-time voters. The study distinguishes between three components of knowledge – motivation, ability and opportunity – and argues that they may have divergent effects. The empirical evidence based on ordinal logistic regression only partially supports these theoretical expectations, but it does reveal a rich picture.

The national frameworks are compared according to the following criteria: First, the legal competences of the regions regarding international cooperation with foreign partners in parallel with national diplomacy; second, European policy, through which two correlated sub-criteria are examined, first, how much access and autonomy regions have to manage EU funds at the national level, and second, the regions’ paradiplomacy at the EU level; and third, the relations between the regions and their national government, which are identified through the following two sub-criteria, first, government supervision of regional paradiplomacy, and second, government support for regional paradiplomacy. The article seeks to identify the degree of central government interference in the foreign activities of the regions, or the degree of their independence in conducting paradiplomatic activities in parallel with national diplomacy.Finally, this article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the more centralist model of intergovernmental relations in paradiplomacy characteristic of Poland compared to the more liberal model found in this analysis in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Hesitant reception of China’s face masks during the first COVID-19 wave in Czech public discourse Abstract: What occurs when a purchase is labelled as a gift by the supplier? This paper aims to unveil the dynamics of power relations enveloping gift exchange and monetary transactions in modern economies. It examines the public media discourse around the presentation and reception of surgical face masks from The People’s Republic of China, described as a paid-for gift, during the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis of dominant online media in the Czech Republic, the article illustrates the public’s understanding of the implicit meanings and commitments associated with a gift. It also explores the enduring sensitivity to economic relationships formed through gift exchange between two modern societies. The interplay of the spirit of the gift, mask diplomacy, pastoral care, and the varying acceptance or resistance to these concepts are central to our analysis. Furthermore, the paper delves into the strategies used by recipients to resist such influences, both internationally and in personal resistance against domestic governance.

The inflow of FDI depends to a great extent on the investment attractiveness of host countries, being also influenced by global economic conditions. In recent years, Romania has become one of the most attractive destinations, especially for French capital. This article aims to explain why the Romanian environment is attractive to the stakeholders involved in French capital management. The qualitative analysis covers the period after the fall of communism and is realized by applying semi-structured interviews conducted with several representatives of private and state actors.

Despite prevalent myths about why migrants return to the Baltics, concrete evidence remains scarce. This paper examines the reasons for return migration through 62 semi-structured interviews, focusing on the contemplation and decision phases of returning. Our research reveals no singular reason for returning migration to the Baltic countries. Instead, the process is characterized by distinct contemplation and decision phases. During contemplation, return migrants weigh factors such as homesickness, integration into the host society, and pursuing a better lifestyle. The decision to return is frequently influenced by life events, including starting a family, entering a relationship, or encountering new opportunities. The study demonstrates the presence of separate contemplation and decision phases in the return process. It highlights the effectiveness of the life stages approach in comprehending the motives in the decision phase. The findings underscore that family-related reasons are more influential for Baltic return migrants than economic factors or considerations related to self-growth and their status in the host society.

The earlier 20th century constitutions were also in some way responsive to historical changes, but in the post-1989 constitutions, the historical narrative has also acquired a strong legitimating function. This was partly related to the fact that several states gained state independence at the time. Another important aspect is the confrontation with the communist past. Typically the constitutional preambles deal with history. The normative nature of the preambles is disputed, but they can play an important role in the process of legal interpretation by constitutional courtes. The most interesting in this respect is the Hungarian preamble adopted in 2011, which is both the longest and the most ideological in the Central European region. The ideological elements in the post-transitional constitutions has not weakened over time, but rather strengthened. This is particularly obvious in Hungarian constitutional development. However, a strong historical narrative can sometimes become counterproductive. This is especially true for states, where there is no co-decision consensus on the judgement of certain key historical events and thus an one-sided presentation of historical issues can also make it difficult for constitutions to fulfil their social integration function.

Social work is a profession that supports vulnerable people in need, including those experiencing war. A social worker is a professional who “can help translate policy into workable projects, help design and evaluate direct services and projects, and work towards community capacity building”.The influx of refugees from the Ukraine war has created unprecedented challenges for social workers. This research was conducted between 6 and 20 July 2022 using the computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) technique in six voivodships in Poland among social workers employed in local social welfare institutions where most war refugees were given shelter. Most respondents were satisfied with the help provided to refugees in their municipalities. Grassroots initiatives for refugees were particularly appreciated. Most social welfare institutions for refugees from Ukraine offered social counselling as well as material and financial assistance. Integration and social activation services were provided much less frequently. The research shows the scope of cross-sectoral cooperation. The key partners helping refugees from Ukraine, in addition to schools, were ordinary citizens, creating various informal insurance groups.

Acknowledging the backsliding of recent years as the result of political contingency and the agency of a critical mass of disruptive political actors on the Right, the article argues that the “illiberal turn” was precipitated by the interplay of three historical factors, such as dynamics of Cold War era student politics, the demise of communism in 1989 with its echoes in the subsequent decades, and the implosion of the strong post-communist Centre-Left in the mid-2000s. These processes have ensured that Poland’s political trajectory has been more sui generis than understood through the general prism of the rise of populism and that it is more the result of an entrenched political class whose worldviews have been forged by the anticommunism of the 1980s and its legacy.

The well-established Duvergerian framework of electoral system analysis applies to a new context: municipal elections in Putin-era St. Petersburg. One of the effects of the “block vote” electoral system, which is currently the most common method used in the St. Petersburg municipal elections, is the sweep effect, wherein a party with a weak majority of support nevertheless is able to win a large number of seats. From the data on election results in St. Petersburg it can be interpreted that the electoral system used gave a significant bonus to the leading party. It is noteworthy that the leading position in some cases was occupied by the opposition parties, which used the bonus provided by the electoral system.
