Combining political theory and sociological interviews spanning four countries, Ilan Zvi Baron explores the Jewish Diaspora/Israel relationship and suggests that instead of looking at Diaspora Jews’ ...relationship with Israel as a matter of loyalty, it is one of obligation. Baron develops an outline for a theory of transnational political obligation and, in the process, provides an alternative way to understand and explore the Diaspora/Israel relationship than one mired in partisan debates about whether or not being a good Jew means supporting Israel. He concludes by arguing that critique of Israel is not just about Israeli policy, but about what it means to be a Diaspora Jew.
The OECD and the Directorate-General for Environment, the European Commission department responsible for EU policy on the environment, joined forces to examine current and future water-related ...financing challenges faced by EU member states. These include investments needed to comply with EU regulation for water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, and flood protection. As part of the research, new data was produced on current levels of expenditure for water supply, sanitation and flood protection, as well as on projected needs. It supported a comparison across member states and substantiated tailored policy discussions in selected countries and at European level. This report captures the rationale for the research, the main quantitative outcomes and the policy issues and recommendations that derived from this two-year co-operation. Lessons from Europe outlined in this report can inspire similar research and policy discussions in other parts of the world.
Autor donosi zapisnike sa sjednica tabora Ustaške mladeži u Vukovaru od srpnja 1942. do travnja 1943. godine. U zapisnicima se nalaze podatci o djelovanju lokalne organizacije Ustaške mladeži u ...Vukovaru u razdoblju nešto kraćem od godine dana iz kojih se može dobiti dojam o intenzitetu, kvaliteti, preferencijama i načinu na koji je tabor, kao osnovna teritorijalna ustrojbena jedinica organizacije Ustaške mladeži, administrirao i vodio mušku i žensku mladež grada Vukovara od 7 do 18 godina. Zapisniku prethodi kraće objašnjenje ustroja i djelovanja Ustaške mladeži, te su dodatnim bilješkama uz tekst objašnjeni neki važniji momenti i informacije koje ovi dokumenti sadrže.
From the earliest days of non-Native settlement of Montana, when
Chinese immigrants made up more than 10 percent of the territory's
population, Chinese pioneers played a key role in the region's
...development. But this population, so crucial to Montana's history,
remains underrepresented in historical accounts, and popular
attention to the Chinese in Montana tends to focus on sensational
elements-exoticizing Chinese Montanans and distancing their lived
experiences from our modern understanding. The Middle Kingdom
under the Big Sky seeks to recover the stories of Montana's
Chinese population in their own words and deepen understanding of
Chinese experiences in Montana by using a global lens. Mark T.
Johnson has mined several large collections of primary documents
left by Chinese pioneers, translated into English here for the
first time. These collections, spanning the 1880s through the
1950s, provide insight into the pressures the Chinese community
faced-from family members back in China and from non-Chinese
Montanans-as economic and cultural disturbances complicated
acceptance of Chinese residents in the state. Through their own
voices Johnson reveals the agency of Chinese Montanans in the
history of the American West and China.
Suvremene državne politike ograničene su prioritetom ekonomskog rasta za koji se sve više propituje doprinosi li osobnom blagostanju. U stručnim se i javnim raspravama sve češće mogu naći teorije o ...granicama ekonomskog rasta, s posebnim osvrtom na klimatske promjene. Takve spoznaje oblikuju i nova kretanja na međunarodnoj razini usmjeravajući politike sve više prema ideji održivog razvoja. U domeni socijalne države promišljanja novih smjerova određena su izazovima koje identificiramo s procesima kao što su: globalizacija, pojava novih socijalnih rizika, visoka financijska opterećenja starih socijalnih programa, Europska unija, strahovi i politička inertnost te podržavanje protueuropskih struja, ali i prioritet politika jedinstvenog tržišta i stabilnosti javnih financija zbog kojih posljedično nedostaje adekvatan odgovor na postojeće izazove socijalne države. Promišljanjem izvan uobičajenih okvira rasta prema onom usmjerenom na održivi razvoj, kako zagovara i pokret odrast, koji u radu predstavljamo, u socijalnoj se politici javlja prostor za razvoj novih strategija i socijalnih inovacija sukladnih s principima odrasta. Cilj je ovog rada sagledati, kroz perspektivu odrasta, potencijalne ideje koje mogu transformirati socijalnu politiku. Rad analizira nekoliko ideja: univerzalni temeljni dohodak, revoluciju skrbi i socijalnu (i solidarnu) ekonomiju. Diskusija se osvrće na načine kako novoformirane ideje i strategije mogu ponuditi rješenja za postojeće izazove s kojima se suvremeno društvo i socijalna politika suočavaju. Promišljanje odrasta predstavlja prostor za nova rješenja koja mogu potencijalno voditi k održivim socijalnim politikama i podmirivanju ljudskih potreba, na što se u zaključku i osvrćemo.
Tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata veliki broj ljudi otišao je iz Nezavisne Države Hrvatske na rad u Njemački Reich. Dio njih otišao je u Njemačku dobrovoljno, a dio kao prisilna radna snaga. U sklopu te ...šire teme, ovaj prilog, uglavnom na temelju arhivskih izvora, opisuje kako je dio radne snage iz Nezavisne Države Hrvatske bio upućen na rad u njemačku zrakoplovnu industriju.
During World War II a large number of people from the Independent State of Croatia (ISC) went to work in the German Reich. Some of them volunteered for work in Germany, while others were forced labourers. Within this wider topic, this paper, based mostly on archival sources, describes how the workforce from ISC was mobilized to work in the German aircraft industry. The Minister of the Croatian Home Guard, marshal Slavko Kvaternik, agreed with the German representatives on mobilizing ethnic Serbs to the Home Guard and then to deport them to work in German aircraft factories. This was called the „Action Rittmeister von Koczian”, because the German representative in the ISC responsible for securing the workforce for German aircraft industry was Gustav von Koczian, a former Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer (Rittmeister). This action is interesting because, due to anti-Serb policies of the ISC regime, ethnic Serbs were initially not mobilized to serve in the Croatian Home Guards and only from mid-1942 were they mobilized into labour units. But even many of those who were mobilized into labour units were then transferred to work in German aircraft factories. Although exact data are not available, it is possible that at least around 10,000 Serbs were mobilized to the Home Guards and then sent to work in the German aircraft industry. These men were paid for their work in aircraft factories and were allowed to send a part of their income to their families in the ISC. They also were, under certain conditions, allowed to go on leave and visit their families. Nevertheless, a certain number of Serbs avoided mobilization and were sent to Germany, whereas some of them joined the Partisan units. Those who ended up in German factories were subject to ISC military rules and inspected by the Home Guard officers detailed to maintain discipline among these workers. Other workers from ISC, through different channels, were also employed in the German aircraft industry or worked as skilled ground personnel for Luftwaffe. All these workers represented a smaller, but not insignificant part of around 200,000 workers that, either voluntarily or forcibly, went from ISC to serve the German economy during World War II.
The responsibility of international organizations attracted special attention in theory and practice of international law after the International Law Commission began its work on the topic in 2002. ...The Commission ended its work in 2011 by adopting the Draft Articles on the Responsibility of International Organization. In this contribution we give an overall review of the Draft articles with special a emphasis on the cases of multiple attribution and responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts of international organizations. Analyzing the critical remarks raised in regard to the Draft, we concluded that they cannot diminish the successful outcome of the work of the Commission, which is, a coherent and consistent system of rules devoted to the responsibility of international organizations.
Explores the civic activism of the Palestinian minority in Israel for a better understanding of the relationship between civic activism and democratization in ethnic states.
