The National Minority

Die nationale Minderheit

Author(s): Otto Junghann / Language(s): German

Keywords: ethnic minorities; migration;

In the present publication the attempt has been made to convey an idea of the main aspects of the minority problem with just a few strokes. On the one hand, the fundamentals should come out as clearly as possible - on the other, the diversity of the phenomena of life that oppose the seeker for a problem solution should at least be hinted at. The attempt is made to show the place that the minority question occupies within the broader context of world events. Given the limited volume of the booklet, there can be no question of an exhaustive treatment of the question. The concrete statements about the actual situation also required extreme restrictions. The figures used in the text and in the tables in the appendix are based on the latest studies by the German Society for Nationality Law, Berlin-Steglitz, unless they are taken from the 1930 Ethno-Political Almanac published on behalf of the Berlin-Steglitz Institute for Border and Foreign Studies.

Shadow of History. European Profiles

Schatten der Geschichte. Europäische Profile

Author(s): Valeriu Marcu / Language(s): German

Keywords: Jean-Paul Marat; Antoine de Rivarol; Jack London; David Hume; Charles Baudelaire; Joseph Caillaux; Charles Maurras; Aristide Briand; Grigorij Sinowjew; Christian Rakowski; Charles Rappoport; Karl Radek;

Published in 1929 by Paul List Verlag, Leipzig. // Author’s introduction( written in times when gender-neutral language was still unknown. We trust the reader’s capacity, to read un-neutral wording with, nevertheless, neutral understanding): When a young man looks at the world through the curious eyes of a twenty year old, he falls in love with principles. He believes that he can derive everything from principles, and through them alone he can understand everything. Like a theologian, he wants to capture the content of ideas and states in sentences in order to then polemicize against the “universe”. There is more optimism than arrogance in this rebellion. Soon, however, painful processes begin that have to be endured in order to achieve independence, the autonomy of one's own thinking. “Man - says Hegel - must make himself what he should be; he must first acquire everything himself ... So the spirit is his own result.” That is why I say to myself today, without mourning or rejoicing, that this book only reflects a mood of life that I shared with friends, and which was a drop from the general experience of the first half decade after 1918.

Europe’s Leaders

Europas Führer

Author(s): Emil Ludwig / Language(s): German

Keywords: Fridtjof Nansen; Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk; Aristide Briand; Walther Rathenau; Giuseppe Motta; Eleftherios Venizelos; Lloyd George; Benito Mussolini; Josef Stalin;

This volume is comprising biographies of Fridtjof Nansen, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Aristide Briand, Walther Rathenau, Giuseppe Motta, Eleftherios Venizelos, Lloyd George, Benito Mussolini and Josef Stalin. // Emil Ludwig (originally named Emil Cohn) was born in Breslau, now part of Poland. Born into a Jewish family, he was raised as a non-Jew but was not baptized. “Many persons have become Jews since Hitler," he said. "I have been a Jew since the murder of Walther Rathenau [in 1922], from which date I have emphasized that I am a Jew.“ Ludwig studied law but chose writing as a career. At first he wrote plays and novellas, also working as a journalist. In 1906, he moved to Switzerland, but, during World War I, he worked as a foreign correspondent for the Berliner Tageblatt in Vienna and Istanbul. He became a Swiss citizen in 1932, later emigrating to the United States in 1940. // During the 1920s, he achieved international fame for his popular biographies which combined historical fact and fiction with psychological analysis. After his biography of Goethe was published in 1920, he wrote several similar biographies, including one about Bismarck (1922–24) and another about Jesus (1928). As Ludwig's biographies were popular outside of Germany and were widely translated, he was one of the fortunate émigrés who had an income while living in the United States. His writings were considered particularly dangerous by Goebbels, who mentioned him in his journal. (Wikipedia)

The International Guarantee in Minorities Law

La Garantie Internationale en Droit des Minorités

Author(s): Athanase Moskov / Language(s): French

Keywords: rights of minorities; ethnic minorities;

Published in 1936 by » Établissements Émile Bruylant, Société anonyme d’Éditions Juridiques et Scientifiques « (Brussels). // M. Moskov's work comes out at a time (1936) when the Law of Nations is going through a particularly acute phase of depression. Jurists will only be more pleased to see, at this precise moment, express with such lucidity, firmness and faith this interpretation of one of the most curious creations of contemporary international law: the guarantee of Minorities Rights elaborated in International Law. Without any doubt, it will surprise many politicians who have been directly involved, in recent years, in resolving the difficulties relating to the treatment of minorities. But is it not the highest mission of the jurist to project on the creations of social life the strong light of a penetrating analysis, to identify their distant origins, to mark their analogies, to render intelligible the functioning of the cogs of the new institution, to locate its place in the evolution of the Law? Attentive to the psychological, moral and social aspects of the new phenomenon, as well as to the conventional texts of which he gives us a penetrating analysis, M. Moskov gives these legal developments a solid basis which carries conviction. His main thesis, which the internationalists of the Contemporary School would be grateful to him for having demonstrated, is that the guarantee of the League of Nations constitutes in this case a real public function, not a faculty. The Council could not therefore avoid it without failing in its task.

Europe’s Fate

Europäisches Schicksal

Author(s): Konrad Heiden / Language(s): German

Keywords: Overpopulation; Human Rights; development of Civilization; economy and democracy; Nation; Nationalism;

Published in 1937 by Querido-Verlag (Amsterdam) the author offers an essay about the situation of Modern Civilization facing the results of sociographic, technical, intellectual, cultural and political development since the industrial revolution. // Konrad Heiden (born August 7, 1901 in Munich, † June 18, 1966 in New York City) was a German-American journalist and political writer who wrote Hitler's first substantial biography in 1936. // The social democratic journalist has been writing about the political scene in Munich since the early 1920s and thus became one of the earliest observers and a staunch opponent of the Nazi movement and Adolf Hitler. After Hitler came to power, Heiden fled to the USA via several stations and obtained American citizenship in the 1950s. Heiden dealt primarily with the ideology and character of National Socialism. // After his death, Heiden and his writings were quickly forgotten. Since 2007, however, his works on Hitler and National Socialism have been reprinted or re-edited in German for the first time.

Federal Europe being the Case for European Federation together with a Draft Constitution of a United States of Europe

Federal Europe being the Case for European Federation together with a Draft Constitution of a United States of Europe

Author(s): Kim Ronald William Gordon Mackay / Language(s): English

Keywords: European Federation; United States of Europe;

First published in 1940 (London) by Michael Joseph Ltd. Publisher. // „This book has been written, as the reader will readily realise, in the all too scanty leisure of a very busy professional life. As a lawyer with some knowledge and experience of the federal systems in Australia and America I have felt for some time that I should like to make an early contribution to the discussion of this very important subject. I always think that when any proposals are to be made, whether for a business arrangement, a merger or a piece of social reform, they can be much better understood and appreciated when they are reduced to the form of a draft agreement or a draft bill. A legal document, for all the terrors it arouses, has a shape which is at once concrete, definite and specific. In the case of the federal idea, therefore, I have attempted to translate the concept of a Federal Europe into the draft Constitution of a United States of Europe, with all the detail and paraphernalia which a federal Constitution involves. Such a course has obvious disadvantages. In drafting a Constitution, one must put forward a complete scheme, naming the countries which are to join the Federation, and describing the nature of the machinery of government. No one can be certain to-day which countries will exist at the end of this war, and any scheme of Federation for Europe will be the work of many hands. However, the Constitution has been drafted, so as to be of some practical assistance to those interested in this important question.“ (author’s introduction)

DISGUISE AND REVEALING. The Battle of Ideologies in History

VERHÜLLUNG UND ENTHÜLLUNG. Der Kampf der Ideologien in der Geschichte

Author(s): Pál Szende / Language(s): German

Any formation of thought is considered by Szende as an “Ideology” which exceeds, by interpretation, by conceptual definition, by intellectual converting, and by logical classification, simple human perception. It is the historical role of ideologies to bring individuals or masses, through psychological inducement, to either historical action or to passiveness concerning social order and its conservation or its reform resp. revolution. The main characteristics of ideologies triggering either conservative attitudes and passiveness or reform resp. revolution can be described as “Verhüllung” (disuise) or “Enthüllung” (unveiling). // “It is the essential feature of every revolution and crisis period that the social driving forces, which in less turbulent times are veiled, distorted, whitewashed, impetuously come to the surface from the depths, and are presented to human knowledge in an unadulterated form. Every revolution is the apocalypse of the unconscious, the real agents of events that have not yet been recognized at all or have been recognized in a different way. The potential energies of society - stored up since time immemorial - discharge themselves in grandiose shooting up, creating new things, destroying the old. The rate of the world clock is accelerated. A gigantic film shows the keen eye the biogenetic law of history; every stage of development in human society is shown to us in a flash of lightning.” (Paul Szende)

Анализа на онлајн активноста на граѓанските организации во Република Македонија

Author(s): Risto Karajkov,Marija Dimitrovska / Language(s): Macedonian

Keywords: North-Macedonian Civil Sovciety; Civil Society and Communication Technology;

Published in 2017 by the „Association for Equal Development Development Solutions.“ // The research of the online activity of CSOs in the Republic of Macedonia is one of the first attempts for systematic study of the representation of ICT and the Internet in the functioning of these organizations.

The chapters refer to the methodology from which the research was conducted, the results of the realized research, as well as concluding observations on the online activity of CSOs in the Republic of Macedonia.

Macedonia and the Reforms

La Macédoine et les réformes

Author(s): Petr D. Draganov / Language(s): French

Keywords: Macedonian Nation-Building; Macedonian emanzipation from Ottoman rule;

Published in 1906 by Librairie Plon in Paris. // Authors preface: "This is the full story of Macedonia and the reforms over the past ten years: on the one hand, the suffering and heroic struggles of the Macedonian people; on the other hand, the desperate efforts of the Sultan to keep under the knife this people which his brothers of Bulgaria, Serbia, Rumania and Greece civilized by the schools, but which they are unable to deliver by arms, less for lack of a military power, which would induce the end of the Ottoman rule, than for lack of a diplomatic agreement, which would combine all the interests and all the efforts in the service of civilization and liberty."

The Serbian Régime and the revolutionary Fight in Macedonia

Le Régime Serbe et la Lutte Révolutionnaire en Macédoine

Author(s): Kiril G. Părličev / Language(s): French

Published in 1917 by Pascalew Publisher in Sofia in the series „Bibliothèque des "Questions balkaniques", printed by the Royal Printing Press. // The author: A large number of scholars, travelers, geographers, ethnographers, historians and European publicists from both opposing camps have spoken out, during the last century and before the Balkan wars, on the ethnographic character of Macedonia. Almost all come to the conclusion that Macedonia is a country inhabited mainly by Bulgarians (in addition to Turks and Jews). The Ottoman Imperial Firman which sanctioned the restoration of the Bulgarian National Church, as well as international solemn acts, such as the Conference of Ambassadors in Constantinople, the Treaty of San Stefano and that of Berlin - confirmed this great truth. // Without dwelling on this question, we had to note this fact incidentally by exposing the factual situation, as it was under the Serbian regime and during the revolutionary struggle of the population in Macedonia during the period which embraces the end of the year 1912, when the Serbs had occupied the country, until the end of 1915, when the latter, having lost their former territory, had even had to abandon Macedonia. // Indeed, what did Macedonia represent when the Serbs, albeit for a period of three years, were the masters in this country?
