The Old Faith and the Russian Landis a historical ethnography that charts the ebbs and flows of ethical practice in a small Russian town over three centuries. The town of Sepych was settled in the ...late seventeenth century by religious dissenters who fled to the forests of the Urals to escape a world they believed to be in the clutches of the Antichrist. Factions of Old Believers, as these dissenters later came to be known, have maintained a presence in the town ever since. The townspeople of Sepych have also been serfs, free peasants, collective farmers, and, now, shareholders in a post-Soviet cooperative.
Douglas Rogers traces connections between the town and some of the major transformations of Russian history, showing how townspeople have responded to a long series of attempts to change them and their communities: tsarist-era efforts to regulate family life and stamp out Old Belief on the Stroganov estates, Soviet collectivization drives and antireligious campaigns, and the marketization, religious revival, and ongoing political transformations of post-Soviet times. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork and extensive archival and manuscript sources, Rogers argues that religious, political, and economic practice are overlapping arenas in which the people of Sepych have striven to be ethical-in relation to labor and money, food and drink, prayers and rituals, religious books and manuscripts, and the surrounding material landscape.
He tracks the ways in which ethical sensibilities-about work and prayer, hierarchy and inequality, gender and generation-have shifted and recombined over time. Rogers concludes that certain expectations about how to be an ethical person have continued to orient townspeople in Sepych over the course of nearly three centuries for specific, identifiable, and often unexpected reasons. Throughout, he demonstrates what a historical and ethnographic study of ethics might look like and uses this approach to ask new questions of Russian, Soviet, and post-Soviet history.
Historians often write in general about how a state or administration ‘implemented’ or ‘introduced’ reforms. Of course, an administration does make certain decisions but, in modern times, whole ...groups of officials are responsible for their realisation. This is the duty of the official apparatus. The success of a given reform is dependent not only on the theory prepared in the silence of the cabinet, but also on its implementation in practice. For this reason, it is important to understand who the officials were and what was their position in the Habsburg Monarchy, where the administration had been one of the most important lynchpins of the functioning of the state since the time of Maria Theresa and Joseph II. It was no different in Dalmatia, where, as we shall later see, every reform of the central authorities increased the number of sections and therefore the number of officials. Regardless, the topic of officials who worked in Dalmatia in the period of the second Austrian administration did not draw the appropriate attention of Yugoslav and Croatian historians until now.This paper analyses the development of the officialdom in Dalmatia during the ‘second Austrian government’, from 1814 to 1914, when World War I began. We wish to show how the civil administration changed from the perspective of the officials, who were responsible for the realisation of the administration’s policies. The officialdom had a great influence, and deserves to be given more attention in historiography.
Javna uprava se svrstava u specifičan organizacijski oblik koji prati razvoj svih civilizacija. Danas se više nego ikad bavimo stvaranjem novog modela funkcioniranja javne uprave. Šta učiti kako bi ...ista bila funkcionalnija i efektivnija, te dostupna građanima? Jedan od načina je svakako uvođenje sustava kvalitete prema zahtjevima nekih od normi kao što su zahtjevi norme ISO 9001. Svakako da se onda postavljaju pitanja o mogućnosti uspostave ovakvih sustava u jedinicama lokalne samouprave, prihvatanja od strane zaposlenika, razumijevanja pojma usluge u ovom sektoru i brojna druga pitanja. U radu je prikazano istraživanje na primjeru pet općina u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine, od kojih četiri imaju uveden sustav kvalitete. U istraživanju su sudjelovali zaposlenici koji su u neposrednom kontaktu s njihovim kupcima te su razmatrana njihova mišljenja i stavovi u vezi izgrađenog sustava kvalitete u njihovim sredinama, kao i pitanja koja se tiču njihovog poznavanja i razine izgrađenog i uvedenog sustava kvalitete kroz njegove pojedine elemente. Rad je svakako tek početak na putu potpunog razumijevanja sustava kvalitete u jedinicama lokalne samouprave.
U radu se obrađuje problematika
uređenja dušobrižništva za katolike istočnog obreda, odnosno za grkokatolike u
Bosni i Hercegovini u vrijeme Austrougarske Monarhije s naglaskom na ulozi
nadbiskupa ...Stadlera u rješavanju tog problema. Većina grkokatolika u BiH za
vrijeme Austrougarske Monarhije bili su doseljenici Rusini iz Galicije. Rad je
podijeljen u osam poglavlja u kojima se problematika obrađuje od prvog pokušaja
uređenja grkokatoličkog dušobrižništva na razmeđu 19. i 20. stoljeća do njegova
konačnog uređenja imenovanjem generalnog vikara za ovdašnje grkokatolike
(1910.), odnosno uspostavom Apostolske administrature (1914.) sa svim
problemima koji su pratili taj proces. Glavni akteri u rješavanju te
problematike bili su nadbiskup Stadler i austrougarska administracija.
The author analyzes circumstances and processes regarding the organization of pastoral care
for the Greek-Catholic believers in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the times of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Special attention is put on the role of archbishop
Stadler regarding finding the solution to this issue. Greek-Catholic Rusyns
immigrated to Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of the nineteenth century.
According to the official Austro-Hungarian records in 1910, there were 8000 inhabited in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This article is divided into eight
chapters. In the first chapter, the author describes the first attempts to arrange pastoral
care for the Greek-Catholics at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, and the problem of the jurisdiction over the Greek-Catholics in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. The second chapter contains a description of the mission of
Andrej Schepyzki, archbishop of Lviv, who in 1902 has visited Greek Catholics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the author of the third and fourth chapters analyzes the endeavors of archbishop Stadler regarding this issue. Namely, Stadler wanted to
establish a Greek-Catholic bishopric, or at least an Apostolic administration
in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Such a solution demanded cooperation and agreement
with the Austro-Hungarian administration. Still, though the Austro-Hungarian
administration was not against Stadler’s idea, they objected it because of
political and financial reasons. The fifth chapter discusses the question of
jurisdiction over the Greek-Catholics in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and this issue
was solved by decree of the Holy See, according to which jurisdiction over them
was assigned to the local ordinary of the Roman liturgy, and not to the
Greek-Catholic bishop in Križevci. In the sixth chapter, the author elaborates the negative reaction of the local Greek-Catholics to the decree of the Holy See,
and Stadler’s efforts to adequately solve this problem together with the
Austro-Hungarian administration. The Holy See and archbishop of Lviv
Scheptyzkyj were adequately involved in these processes and a compromising – but
temporary – the solution was achieved when J. Žuka, Rusyn Greek-Catholic priest,
was appointed to the position of general vicar of the Roman rite bishop in
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Later in 1914, this issue was finally solved by
establishing the Apostolic administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With this
solution problem of priests, who would perform pastoral care, was resolved by
bringing more Greek-Catholic priests from Galicia, and this issue is described
in the last two chapters of the article.

Glavni cilj ovog teksta je objasniti ulogu i utjecaj Sjedinjenih Američkih Država na razrješenje vojne i političke krize, te tranzicijskih procesa na prostoru jugoistoka Europe. Rad daje pregled ...dobro znanih povijesnih zbivanja kako bi se rasvijetlile okolnosti u svjetskoj politici i međunarodnim odnosima koje su utjecale na raspad Jugoslavije, razbuktavanje rata i oblikovanje politike američkih administracija prema jugoistoku Europe. U rješavanju krize i stabilizaciji regije SAD su se neprekinuto koristile cijelim spletom političkih, diplomatskih i vojnih instrumenata što je presudno utjecalo na uspjeh Clintonove administracije koja je uspjela nametnuti američko liderstvo u mirovnom procesu. Istovremeno nemogućnost kombiniranja ovih elemenata, uz neodlučnost i razjedinjenost vodećih zemalja članica, bila je razlogom mlake i nikad do kraja definirane politike EU prema ovim prostorima. lako su ratna zbivanja prestala i uspostavljeni politički aranžmani osiguravaju kakav-takav mir, i dalje je neosporna potreba da se politološki, historiografski i sociološki istraži ovo turbulentno razdoblje kako bi se dobio temeljit uvid u do sada nedovoljno poznate činjenice i poteze glavnih političkih aktera tih zbivanja.
Rund 25 Jahre nach der letzten rechtsvergleichenden Analyse der Alterssicherung von Beamten ist am Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches und internationales Sozialrecht in München eine neue Studie zu ...dieser Fragestellung konzipiert und unter Mithilfe von einigen externen Kooperationspartnern durchgeführt worden. Untersucht werden die grundlegenden Prinzipien der Alterssicherung von Beamten und ihre mögliche Veränderung im Laufe der Zeit. Dabei steht die aktuelle Situation in einer Reihe von europäischen Ländern im Vordergrund. Ausgehend von den in Deutschland über die letzten Jahrzehnte gesammelten Erfahrungen, wird die Alterssicherung von Beamten in Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Dänemark, Norwegen, Schweden, Rußland, der Schweiz, Slowenien, Tschechien und im Vereinigten Königreich dargestellt. Das Dienstrecht der Europäischen Union und der Vereinten Nationen wird ergänzend einbezogen.
