"Big Bang" Enlargement and Common Agricultural Policy Reform

Author(s): Marko Lovec,Emil Erjavec / Language(s): English / Issue: 115/2012

The article analyses the influence of the 2004 enlargement and of the 1998-2002 accession negotiations on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform. In contrast to the dominant liberalinstitutional political economy models that explain preenlargement CAP reforms in terms of the negative trade related policy externalities, the common budget expenses and the specific role played by the common institutional setting, a critical realist explanatory model is proposed. In accordance with the model, the reforms were facilitated by the conflicting interests and the differences in capacity of the capital fixed to agricultural production in the member states and the candidate countries. The capacity of the agro-capital is defined by comparing the agricultural production structures, which were in the case of the old member states sustaining high levels of the fixed capital and which were in the case of the candidate countries, on average, underdeveloped and under-capitalized. The model is supported by the empirical analysis of the CAP reform and the accession negotiations process.

"BITI PALESTINAC ZNAČI BORITI SE PROTIV NEPRAVDE BILO GDJE U SVIJETU"

Author(s): Mirza Sarajkić,Yasir Suleiman / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 45/2011

Mr. Yasir Suleiman, Professor of Modern Arabic Studies at the University of Cambridge, talks about Palestine, the Palestine issue and its future. He is of the opinion that the only possible solution is the existence of a state within the territory of Palestine, provided that the demography is not a key element of constituting that new state. Professor Suleiman also relates his experience of being a Palestinian away from his land, about pros and cons of life in exile, struggle against the apartheid, and making it clear that the Palestine issue is primarily a moral attitude issue. Professor Yasir Suleiman, a man who wakes up to every new day with a hope of hearing the news of free Palestine, is more “ camping” than living a life. Meanwhile, he is making an extensive research in the field of Arabic grammar, Middle East studies, modern language and literature, conflicts, culture and identity, in effort to show how a language form can often tell more than the very content that the same language relates.

"Care Drain". Explaining Bias in Theorizing Women's Migration

Author(s): Speranţa Dumitru / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

Migrant women are often stereotyped. Some scholars associate the feminization of migration with domestic work and criticize the “care drain” as a new form of imperialism that the First World imposes on the Third World. However, migrant women employed as domestic workers in Northern America and Europe represent only 2% of migrant women worldwide and cannot be seen as characterizing the “feminization of migration”. Why are migrant domestic workers overestimated? This paper explores two possible sources of bias. The first is sampling: conclusions about “care drain” are often generalized from small samples of domestic workers. The second stems from the affect heuristic: imagining children left behind by migrant mothers provokes strong feelings of injustice which trump other considerations. The paper argues that neither source of bias is unavoidable and finds evidence of gender stereotypes in the “care drain” construal.

"Cazul Molnár": combaterea discriminării şi libertatea de expresie în România

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2006

Procesul în care domnul Molnár Joszef a fost acuzat pentru declaraţii antisemite a devenit relevant pentru problematica libertăţii de exprimare întrucât sancţiunea Consiliului Naţional pentru Combaterea Discriminării fusese susţinută, spre deosebire de alte cazuri asemănătoare, de instanţa de fond. Ca urmare, respingerea sancţiunii date de către CNCD şi confirmată de către Judecătoria Târgu Mureş prin decizia definitivă şi irevocabilă a Tribunalului Târgu-Mureş, reprezintă un moment de referinţă în apărarea libertăţii de expresie. Sunt reproduse hotărârea din 12.02.2005 a Colegiului Director al CNCD, sentinţa civilă a Judecătoriei Târgu-Mureş, recursul domnului Molnar Jozsef, întâmpinarea Consiliului Naţional pentru Combaterea Discriminării și decizia civilă a Tribunalului Mureş, Târgu-Mureş în Dosarul nr. 4728/2005.

"Democraţia românească", teorie şi metodă

Author(s): Romulus Brâncoveanu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 113/2004

This is a comment on the type of democracy in Romania, as illiberal democracy. Given the Romanian democratization process, we can hope that, in the future, all populisms and politicization will cease, and a true liberal and constitutional democracy will be installed, which will not be a “Romanian democracy” as Paul Wolfowitz suggested to be exported in Iraq. The question is whether it is good or not to “export” such a political model. “Romanian democracy” could be an exporting model only as an alternative to dictatorship and under the assumption that it will be adjusted in time, under the external pressure.
