Policing Humanitarianism examines the ways in which European Union policies aimed at countering the phenomenon of migrant smuggling affects civil society actors' activities in the provision of ...humanitarian assistance, access to rights for irregular immigrants and asylum seekers. It explores the effects of EU policies, laws and agencies' operations in anti-migrant smuggling actions and their implementation in the following EU Member States: Italy, Greece, Hungary and the UK.The book critically studies policies designed and implemented since 2015, during the so called 'European refugee humanitarian crisis'. Building upon the existing academic literature covering the 'criminalisation of migration ' in the EU, the book examines the wider set of punitive, coercive or control-oriented dynamics affecting Civil Society Actors' work and activities through the lens of the notion of ' policing the mobility society'. This concept seeks to provide a framework of analysis that allows for an examination of a wider set of practices, mechanisms and tools driven by a logic of policing in the context of the EU Schengen border framework: those which affect not only people, who move (qualified as third- country nationals for the purposes of EU law), but also people who mobilise in a rights-claiming capacity on behalf of and with immigrants and asylum- seekers.
Tanulmányunkban arra keressük a választ, hogy a fejlesztési kezdeményezések milyen hatást gyakorolnak a területi integrációra. Kutatásunkban a Vértesi NatúrPark példáján keresztül azt vizsgáltuk, ...hogy egy területi alapú fejlesztési kezdeményezés képes-e átalakítani az érintettek térbeli kapcsolatait. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy egy fejlesztéspolitikai tárgyú esettanulmány segítségével mutassuk be a területi integráció mechanizmusait.Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a részvétel mértékét alapvetően meghatározza a szerep-lők státusza, a legaktívabbak az alapító tagok. A Vértesi Natúrpark programjaiban való rész-vétel és aktivitás mértéke növeli az egyéb jellegű térbeli kapcsolatok kiterjedtségét is. Az in-volváltságra hatással van a Vértesi Natúrparkhoz való térbeli közelség, ebből következően erős Csákvárnak és a környékének a szerepe az összefogásban. A térbeli közelségen alapuló integrált-ság a kezdeményezéssel való azonosulást is meghatározza és csökkenti a versengő elképzelések kibontakozását.
As wildfires rip across the western United States and sea levels
rise along coastal cities from Louisiana to Alaska, some people
nevertheless reject the mainstream scientific consensus on
...anthropogenic climate change. What leads people to doubt or
outright denial? What leads skeptics to change their minds?
Drawing from a rich collection of interviews and surveys with
self-identified climate change skeptics (and some former ones),
sociologists Kristin Haltinner and Dilshani Sarathchandra delve
into the underlying dynamics of climate skepticism in the United
States. In probing how ideas about science, religion, politics, and
media affect perceptions of climate change, they find a far greater
diversity of attitudes and beliefs than one might expect-including
some pro-environmental views. With this nuanced understanding of
climate change skepticism, Inside the World of Climate Change
Skeptics offers much-needed insights on improving
communication in ways that can move us toward a better future while
advancing environmental policies with widespread political
support.
As financial turmoil in Europe preoccupies political leaders and global markets, it becomes more important than ever to understand the forces that underpin the European Union, hold it together and ...drive it forward. This timely book provides a gripping account of the realities of power politics among European states and between their leaders. Drawing on long experience working behind the scenes, Luuk van Middelaar captures the dynamics and tensions shaping the European Union from its origins until today.It is a story of unexpected events and twists of fate, bold vision and sheer necessity, told from the perspective of the keyplayers - from de Gaulle to Havel, Thatcher to Merkel. Van Middelaar cuts through the institutional complexity by exploring the unforeseen outcomes of decisive moments and focusing on the quest for public legitimacy.As a first-hand witness to the day-to-day actions and decisions of Europe's leaders, the author provides a vivid narrative of the crises and compromises that united a continent. By revisiting the past, he sheds fresh light on the present state of European unification and offers insights into what the future may hold.
Važnost ovog Zbornika ponajviše se ističe u jasnom naglašavanju panoramske širine, umijeća i snage oblikovanja znanstvenog i intelektualnog interesa i doprinosa profesora Nikole Viskovića. Zajednički ...nazivnik svih priloga u knjizi jest poruka da povijest nomosa kao temeljne preokupacije teoretičara prava nije zanimljiva sama po sebi, već je ona prije svega važna zbog nemjerljivog značenja za razvoj i društveni utjecaj pravne i političke teorije do današnjih dana. Vješto razvijajući širok raspon intelektualnog interesa kroz različita područja prava, politike i kulture, Viskovićev élan vital rezultirao je produkcijom koja je, uspinjući se s plana pravne teorije na druge životne intelektualne, političke, kulturne, ekološke i druge teme i planove, uspješno razotkrivala – i još uvijek to čini – sva važna stanja, probleme, aktere i pravce suvremenog pravnog diskursa. Zalažući se prije svega za ozbiljno kritičko preispitivanje postojećeg državnopravnog poretka, u kojoj kritici njegovo integralno poimanje prava (svaka je pravna pojava spoj društvenih odnosa, vrijednosti i normi) natkriljuje svaki njegov redukcionizam, profesor Nikola Visković pojavljuje se i ostaje uporni, konstruktivni i dostojni akter one duge i bogate intelektualne tradicije koja u analizi stalnih i otvorenih tenzija između “činjenica i normi” (Faktizität und Geltung) neumorno i nezaustavljivo propituje i traži humani i časni smisao prava i politike.

Museums of history and contemporary culture face many challenges in the modern age. One is how to react to processes of Europeanization and globalization, which require more cross-border cooperation ...and different ways of telling stories for visitors. This book investigates how museums exhibit Europe. Based on research in nearly 100 museums across the Continent and interviews with cultural policy makers and museum curators, it studies the growing transnational activities of state institutions, societal organizations, and people in the museum field such as attempts to Europeanize collection policy and collections as well as different strategies for making narratives more transnational like telling stories of European integration as shared history and discussing both inward and outward migration as a common experience and challenge. The book thus provides fascinating insights into a fast-changing museum landscape in Europe with wider implications for cultural policy and museums in other world regions.
