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.
When taxes are introduced on carbon and energy, and the revenue is used to reduce other taxes, will a positive effect be achieved both for the environment and for the economy? In 1990, Finland was ...the first country that introduced a tax on CO2. Later, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Slovenia, Germany, and the UK followed suit with tax reforms that shifted taxation from labour to carbon and energy. Over the years, CO2 and energy taxes have gradually been raised, so that in Europe taxes of more than 25 billion EUR a year have been shifted. In this book, these experiences with carbon‐energy taxation, along with tax‐shifting programmes lowering other taxes, are examined in detail. Availability of unique and original data, including sector‐specific energy prices and taxes, as well as the use of advanced statistical techniques, such as co‐integration analysis and panel‐regression techniques along with the time‐series‐estimated macro‐economic model – Energy–Environment–Economy model for Europe (E3ME), makes this analysis truly comprehensive. Results of the analysis show that even though the taxes implemented have been relatively modest, they have, in the countries examined, contributed to a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases of up to 7 per cent, while for five of the countries a small increase in economic activity is recorded as a result of the tax‐shifting, with other impacts separated out. Due to concerns for competitiveness, the largest industrial emitters of greenhouse gases within Europe continue to benefit from exemptions from the carbon‐energy taxation schemes, as outside Europe there are major emitters without any economic penalties attached to greenhouse gas emissions. On basis of the lessons from carbon‐energy taxation learned in Europe, the editors of the book indicate how carbon‐energy taxation could usefully be combined with emissions trading, and they discuss how the recommendations from IPCC for a gradually escalating carbon price could be accomplished while preventing carbon leakage.
Nametljivo je ponašanje uzrok psihološke štete, oblik viktimizacije i upozorenje za buduće nasilje. Kao kazneno djelo uvedeno je u Kazneni zakon Republike Hrvatske koji je stupio na snagu 2013. ...godine, no i dalje postoje problemi s njegovim preciznim određenjem. S obzirom na to da su žrtve nametljivog ponašanja u većini slučajeva žene, često se zanemaruje činjenica da ovo kazneno djelo nije spolno specifično. Iako je kroz studije dokazano da se žene počinitelji u bitnom ne razlikuju od muškaraca, zbog predrasuda često dolazi do podcjenjivanja potencijala žene za nasilje. Cilj ove studije jest utvrditi postoji li ravnopravnost spolova u kaznenoj politici prema nametljivom ponašanju u Hrvatskoj. Kako bi odgovorili na ovo pitanje, analizirali smo sudske presuda različitih sudova u Hrvatskoj, a kroz anketni upitnik dobili uvid u percepciju građana u Hrvatskoj o ovome kaznenom djelu.
