Why do some attempts to conclude alliance treaties end in failure? From the inability of European powers to form an alliance that would stop Hitler in the 1930s, to the present inability of Ukraine ...to join NATO, states frequently attempt but fail to form alliance treaties. In Arguing about Alliances, Paul Poast sheds new light on the purpose of alliance treaties by recognizing that such treaties come from negotiations, and that negotiations can end in failure. In a book that bridges Stephen Walt's Origins of Alliance and Glenn Snyder's Alliance Politics, two classic works on alliances, Poast identifies two conditions that result in non-agreement: major incompatibilities in the internal war plans of the participants, and attractive alternatives to a negotiated agreement for various parties to the negotiations. As a result, Arguing about Alliances focuses on a group of states largely ignored by scholars: states that have attempted to form alliance treaties but failed. Poast suggests that to explain the outcomes of negotiations, specifically how they can end without agreement, we must pay particular attention to the wartime planning and coordinating functions of alliance treaties. Through his exploration of the outcomes of negotiations from European alliance negotiations between 1815 and 1945, Poast offers a typology of alliance treaty negotiations and establishes what conditions are most likely to stymie the attempt to formalize recognition of common national interests.
Dealing with climate change means accepting tough tradeoffs: giving up certain energy sources, products, and conveniences, all of which have economic impacts. Politicians balk, but there are ...solutions. Roland Kupers turns to the new science of complexity to show how we can untangle a knotty global economy and start making progress.
Cilj. U ovome se radu daje pregled procesa obnove vrijedne knjižnične zbirke Instituta za povijest umjetnosti u Zagrebu uslijed preklapajućih kriza koje su obilježile 2020. godinu (potres, pandemija, ...poplava).
Pristup/metodologija. Cjelokupni fond Knjižnice trebalo je ispočetka sistematizirati prema UDK sustavu jer se u potpunosti urušio zbog snažnog potresa u ožujku. Taj se proces preklapao s postupkom primarne zaštite i konzervacije zbirke rukopisne građe osobnog arhivskog fonda Grge Gamulina, povjesničara umjetnosti i likovnog kritičara, te iznenadnom i hitnom potrebom osnivanja osobnog arhiva i ex libris zbirke akademika Tonka Maroevića.
Rezultati. Rezultat su tih simultanih procesa potpuno funkcionalan i resistematiziran knjižnični fond, uspostavljen arhiv i ex libris zbirka Tonka Maroevića te očišćena i organizirana zbirka rukopisnog gradiva Grge Gamulina.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Ovaj rad daje pregled aktivnosti i procesa pri postupanju s posebnim vrstama kulturne baštine u neočekivanim i izvanrednim okolnostima. Ti istovremeni procesi proširili su sve naše kapacitete te rezultirali stvaranjem novih modela suradnje među kolegama, posebice sa studentima i volonterima, te su dugoročno značajno utjecali na promišljanje i razvoj radnih procesa i snaga.
Teplo, světlo, voda, široce využívaná osobní i nákladní doprava, dostatek elektřiny pro naše domácí „žrouty“ – ledničky, pračky, počítače a televizory, je pro nás samozřejmostí, která však, podle ...dostupných údajů, nejspíš zas tak samozřejmá nebude už pro naše děti – anebo vnoučata.
