Je li Rousseau samorazumljivi neprijatelj političkog liberalizma, kao što glasi
čuveni besprizivni pravorijek I. Berlina? Drukčije rečeno, je li on zastupnik
radikalne (čak “totalitarne”) ...demokracije, apologet pučke suverenosti i opaki
plebejski “prijatelj naroda” (tzv. “pozitivne slobode”), koji previđa važnost
negativne slobode individua i podjele vlasti? Zagovara li Rousseau, kao republikanski
politički teoretičar, s jedne strane i politički liberalizam, a s druge
strane ne samo različito nego i oprečno shvaćanje političke slobode? U prvom
se dijelu izlaganja podsjeća na to da se Rousseauova politička teorija oblikuje
u osviještenoj i potpunoj opreci spram fiziokratskog ekonomskog liberalizma,
koji slobodu svodi na ekonomsku i pravnu, a modernog čovjeka na bourgeois.
U tome je Rousseau veoma blizak Tocquevilleu koji fiziokratsku doktrinu dovodi
u pitanje sa stajališta političkog liberalizma. U drugom dijelu sažeto se
prikazuje i vrednuje kritika Rousseauova političkog nauka (političke slobode i
pučke suverenosti) sa stajališta klasičnoga političkog liberalizma B. Constanta.
U trećem se završnom i najvažnijem dijelu pokazuje da primjerena usporedba
Rousseauova i liberalnoga političkog nauka mora pažljivo razlikovati
pojmovne sklopove u kojima se očituje srodnost (poimanje naroda i podjele
vlasti) od onih u kojima se očituje suprotnost (poimanje naroda, zakona, općenite
volje i citoyena). Otuda je Rousseau i frere i ennemi, dakle, frere ennemi
političkoga liberalizma, premda ne i ekonomskog liberizma.
"Our work shows that DCIS has more in common with small invasive cancers than previously thought," explains Dr. Steven Narod, a scientist with Women's College Research Institute and a professor with ...the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. "In these cases, we've found that there's an inherent potential for DCIS to spread to other organs."
This work presents correlations of elements of the political community – the state, and the Christian community – the church, toward the person of the divine and human character of Jesus Christ. ...Jesus Christ as God incarnate in the modern world, at the beginning of the 21st century, is used in a dualistic way. On the one hand, it is set as a subject whose purpose is identification, whether it concerns a national or religious element. On the other hand, Christians who manifest their faith through deeds earn identification with Christ, who represents the subject of mutual relations. Before the church is the great task of encouraging, supporting and endeavoring daily with the faithful to pursue such a relationship with Christ as an actual and active subject, one which is not weighed with individual or group interests. The Christian church should work to develop believers’ attitude towards politics and political activity, but it should be autonomous in action.
Kako Biblija gleda na suvremenu europsku temu migracija? Nakon napomene o hodočasničkom značaju Božjega naroda, Abraham (Post 12) upozorava na blagoslivljanje kao svrhu, a odmak od oholosti i ...nerazumijevanja kao uzrok migracije. Jakovljev primjer ističe povratak (Post 35) koji, nakon osobne lustracije, obnavlja izvorni nacrt čovjeka iz Post 1. Selilaštvo i izbjeglištvo Svete Obitelji pokazuje napokon da se i u tom otkriva način kako prihvatiti Otkupitelja..
In exploring the biblical approach to the issue of migrants and refugees, this paper first ascertains that the character of the People of God is that of the pilgrim. The examples of Abraham (Gen. 12) and St. Joseph in the New Testament point out the need for spiritual discernment in recognizing a genuine call from God. Thus, the purpose of the migration is to bring blessings to the peoples, and the cause of the migration is the need to leave behind pride and misunderstanding, the biblical tower of Babel. The path of migration taken by Jacob renders his return essential (Gen. 35). His migration is explained as a personal purification process, conversion and reconciliation with God and his brother Esau, which enables Jacob to adopt the original concept from Genesis 1 as God’s creation. The Holy Family in the role of the migrant family highlights the task of the father and his need to protect his family. Their experience ensures that migration is one possible way to accept the Redeemer and to follow in his path.
Québec: State and Society, third editionacts as a mirror to a society that continues to transform itself, that adjusts to changes taking place on the international scene, while providing an ...understanding of Québec's unique experience within the world. This completely revised edition is composed of twenty-two original and comprehensive essays on key issues and themes that constitute present-day Québec politics, written by prominent and widely published specialists in areas as diverse as political science, sociology, economics, demography, and history. As a result, this book provides a full account the historical and contemporary Québec environment and offers premises for developments to come.

"Territoriality, Globalization, and International Relations" tackles questions faced by every contemporary society and proposes new arenas for research for Québec.
Republika Srpska Krajina od samoga je početka, pa do prestanka svoga djelovanja, bila i ostala paradržavna tvorevina jer nikada nije ispunila kriterije države koji su sadržani u Konvenciji o pravima ...i dužnostima država koja je kolokvijalno poznata kao Konvencija iz Montevidea, od- nosno nije postala subjekt međunarodnoga prava, kao što je to postala Republika Srpska nakon potpisivanja Općega okvirnog sporazuma o miru u Bosni Hercegovini ili Deytonskoga sporazuma. Republika Srpska Krajina bila je federativna paradržavna tvorevina koja je imala teritorijalni diskontinuitet, sastojala se od triju federalnih jedinica: Srpska Region Slavonija, Baranja i Zapadni Srem, Srpska Region Zapadna Slavonija i Srpska Autonomna Region Krajina. Republika Srpska Krajina u formalno-pravnome smislu počela je postojati nakon njezina proglašenja 19. prosinca 1991. god., a kao paradržavna tvorevina de facto propala je 5. kolovoza 1995. god. nakon što su postrojbe Hrvatske vojske i Ministarstva unutarnjih poslova ušle u njezin glavni grad Knin, a de iure 8. kolovoza 1995. god. nakon što su njezini predstavnici potpisali kapitulaciju.
Klasifikacija osobnih prava vjernika u Crkvi jedna je od većih novina Zakonika kanonskoga prava iz 1983. godine. Veliki utjecaj na pokretanje toga pitanja imao je, u prvom redu, Drugi vatikanski ...koncil. Iščitavajući dokumente Koncila, jasno se očituje zahtjev za uvažavanjem ne samo obveza, nego i prava vjernika u Katoličkoj crkvi. Ništa manje doprinosa nije ostavila ni Opća deklaracija o ljudskim pravima, dokument koji u svoj centar stavlja ljudsko dostojanstvo, na koje poziva i nauk Crkve. Analizirajući odnos osobnih prava vjernika u Crkvi te ljudskih prava općenito, autorica pokušava ukazati na međusobne sličnosti i različitosti tih dvaju sustava.
The regulation in the Church of the rights of the Christian faithful is one of the greatest milestones of the Code of Canon Law. The Second Vatican Council had a great effect on the raising of this issue. The documents of the Council speak very clearly about the requirement to respect, not only the obligations of the faithful in the Catholic Church, but also their rights. No less significant was the contribution of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document which focuses on human dignity. The obligation to respect this same dignity is invoked also in the doctrine of the Church. On the basis of an analysis of the relationship between the rights of the Christian faithful and human rights in general, this article endeavours to explain and highlight the similarities and differences between these two systems. Despite the fact that they are grounded in natural law, the rights of the Christian faithful cannot be equated fully with fundamental human rights. Moreover, human rights are based on natural law, while the former arise from their incorporation into the community of the People of God. The Church is aware that human rights today are largely violated in the name of individual freedom. Her mission is to appeal for the respect of those rights, and she is assisted in this task by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is precisely this document that is essential to the process of building a mature and healthy consciousness and morality in accordance with the dignity of each community member.
Looks at the roots of what has been described as the most important political event in the history of the twentieth century, from the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 to the Bolshevik uprising in ...1917.
Predteorijsko poimanje temeljnih politoloških pojmova poput »naroda« ili »domovine« pretežito je objektivističko. Preciznije rečeno, spomenuti, ali i drugi politički koncepti tretiraju se poput ...fizikalnih tijela koja imaju relativno postojana obilježja i refleksija o njima iscrpljuje se u nekoj vrsti deskriptivnosti. Argentinski filozof politike Ernesto Laclau, u svojim studijama Politics and Ideology in Marxist Theory i On Populist Reason izvrće takvu perspektivu i konceptualizira politički subjektivitet kao diskurzivnu tvorevinu, odnosno a posteriori ishod teorijske artikulacije. Na temelju takve perspektive, osnažene historiografskim uvidima hrvatskih povjesničarki Spehnjak i Najbar Agičić, koje su se bavile socijalističkom kulturnom sferom u prvim danima poraća, pokušat ću politički sagledati djelovanje Kazališnog lista – biltena Hrvatskog narodnog kazališta u Zagrebu i ukazati na emancipatorske aspekte njegova narodnog opredjeljenja.
