Trends in Radicalisation that May Lead to Violence: National Background Study, Greece

Author(s): Dia Anagnostou,Dimitris Skleparis / Language(s): English

This report focusses on the case of Greece, where the phenomenon of radicalisation has been present throughout the period from the mid-1970s. Greece displays one of the most persistent problems of terrorism in Europe, raising anew the question of why extremist and revolutionary organisations continue to emerge and be active in democracies. Since the 2010, right wing and left wing extremism and radicalisation have intensified, especially in the context of a deepening social and economic crisis. The report provides a background study on radicalisation in Greece and the various forms that it takes, as a basis to bridge existing knowledge gaps on the subject. It provides and overview of past and current radicalisation trends. The national background study aims to first, identify and assess the legal and institutional responses to the processes of radicalisation that may lead to acts of violence and second, to review and analyse trends (ideas, actors, actions, motivations and root causes) in three strands of radicalisation (right and left wing, Islamist radicalisation and football hooliganism).

Author(s): Mila Mancheva,Miryana Ilcheva,Maria Doichinova,Lyubomira Derelieva / Language(s): Bulgarian

Within the framework of the initiative Civic organizations: a Guarantee for Equal Rights of Vulnerable Groups before the State of the Center for the Study of Democracy the socio-demographic analysis of four selected vulnerable groups – prisoners, refugees and migrants, victims of trafficking and domestic violence – outlines the profile of each of those groups and its components, putting it in particular vulnerability in its relations with institutions. Special attention is given to children from each group as having their specifics, requiring special attention by state agencies. The analysis is based on information by institutions and NGOs and points to lack of unified criteria and low level of comparability of data.

The policy paper (ed. Forte, R., Sapucca, 2013) offers a description of the situation of organized crime in the Western Balkans in general and in individual countries - Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro - as well as a focus on the recent legislation on the recovery and management of criminal assets in Bulgaria, used as a term of confrontation with the consolidated approach applied in Italy to such issues.

Harvesting the ‘White Gold’

Author(s): Jos Boonstra,Sébastien Peyrouse,Marlène Laruelle,Tika Tsertsvadze / Language(s): English

How do you know that your sweater has not been made of cotton harvested by Uzbek children or produced by their counterparts in a Bangladeshi workshop? You don’t. Many companies do not carefully check through a ‘track and trace’ system if their products are produced by forced or child labour. At the same time many governments do not follow the labour laws that they signed up to. The sad truth is that fashion demands in the West still largely prevail over human rights in developing countries. But there is progress. This month 60 clothing firms agreed to boycott products with Uzbek cotton until hard proof exists that Uzbekistan has stopped child labour. This applies at least to those products in which Uzbek cotton can be traced which is often not possible yet because the link between cotton traders and Asian factories is often not clear to Western brands. The pledge of the clothing industry was spurred by the decision of the organisers of New York’s fashion week to cancel Gulnara Karimova’s show due to concerns over child labour. Unknowingly the Uzbek president’s daughter and ambassador to Spain and the UN in Geneva has helped to highlight her country’s human rights shortcomings.

Krivo srastanje na Partizanskom groblju

Author(s): Dragan Markovina / Language(s): Serbian

Kad sam čuo da su opet i to za vrijeme policijskog sata razbijali ploče na Bogdanovićevom Partizanskom groblju u Mostaru, istovremeno sam osjetio tugu, bijes i gađenje, da bi mi kao prva pomisao došla pjesma Krivo srastanje od Azre. Preciznije, pomislio sam na nekoliko konkretnih stihova iz te mračne Štulićeve pjesme s istoimenog albuma: „I svi tvoji plaćeni nitkovi, doušnici i sjecikese, i svi tvoji mutavi urlatori zvučnih titula… a talon nose ružni i opaki, s nečuvenom moći da tjeraju što zažele. Mnogo ih je i strašno galame, obično razbiju sva ogledala na koja naiđu, da ne ostane ni pomen na ljepotu“.

Preuranjena obdukcija Haškog tribunala

Author(s): Marko Milanović / Language(s): Serbian

Da li je Haški tribunal doprineo pomirenju između naroda bivše Jugoslavije? O ovom pitanju svako u bivšoj Jugoslaviji ima svoje mišljenje. Uključujući, naravno, i premijera Aleksandra Vučića, koji je u nedavnoj emisiji na TV B92 (gostujući zajedno sa Natašom Kandić i Dejanom Anastasijevićem) izjavio da „Haški tribunal nije doprineo suštinskom pomirenju na ovim prostorima“. Možda je Vučić i u pravu – ali da bi na to pitanje mogli da malo temeljnije odgovorimo, prvo treba da imamo neku predstavu o tome kako bi jedan krivični sud i inače mogao da doprinese suštinskom pomirenju. Šta to zapravo uopšte znači?

Kognitivna disonanca

Author(s): / Language(s): Serbian

Susret Putina i Porošenka u Minsku (umesto neodržanog sastanka u Berlinu) završen je rezultatom ravnim apsolutnoj nuli. Vladimir Putin je izjavio da nije on taj s kim treba razgovarati o miru u Ukrajini već da su to predstavnici Narodnih republika Donjecka i Luganska, a ministar inostranih poslova Sergej Lavrov je najavio da se Rusija sprema da na zaraćeno područje pošalje novi humanitarni konvoj. Ideja o upućivanju humanitarnog konvoja je tek postfaktum postala do kraja jasna. Njena suština nije u tome da se na teritoriju suseda, u „trojanskom konvoju“ prevezu vojnici, oružje ili vojna tehnika. Sve pobrojano se već nekoliko meseci uredno prevozi preko rusko-ukrajinske granice.

Krimski transfer

Author(s): Mark Kramer / Language(s): Serbian

Krim je bio sastavni deo Rusije od 1783, kada ga je caristička imperija anektirala deceniju posle pobede nad Otomanima u borbi kod Kozludže – do 1954. kada je sovjetska vlada izdvojila poluostrvo iz Ruske Sovjetske Federacije Socijalističkih Republika (RSFSR) i predala ga Ukrajinskoj Sovjetskoj Socijalističkoj Republici. Vest o transferu prenela je sovjetska štampa krajem februara 1954. osam dana pošto je Prezidijum Vrhovnog Sovjeta SSSR usvojio rezoluciju. Tekst rezolucije uz poneki umirujući izvodiz diskusije sa sednice Prezidijuma održane 19. februara, objavljeni su zajedno sa vrlo kratkim saopštenjem. Više detalja o transferu neće biti otkriveno do kraja sovjetske ere.

Ukrajinsko-jugoslavenske veze

Author(s): Zlatko Dizdarević / Language(s): Bosnian

Postaje upadljivo proteklih sedmica kako se događaji u Ukrajini, pretežito u medijima na ovdašnjim prostorima, mimo svih drugih teorija uspoređuju i s “mogućnostima jugoslavenskog scenarija raspada”. Podjednako je upadljivo i kako se u argumentacijama zatu usporedbu upotrebljavaju različiti argumenti, ovisno o sredini u kojoj se teorije “jugoslavenskog raspada” spominju. Na stranu potpuno nesuvisle varijante poput one u pitanju političaru iz Ukrajine u ovdašnjim dnevnim novinama gdje se tzv. jugoslavenski scenarij povezuje s mogućnošću napada Rusije na Ukrajinu!? Kakve veze ima inozemna vojna intervencija s ondašnjim yu-raspadom.

Mejdanske pouke

Author(s): Aleksandar Hemon / Language(s): Bosnian

August 1991. sam proveo u Kijevu. Kad sam tu početkom mjeseca pristigao, Kijev je bio glavni grad Sovjetske Socijalističke Republike Ukrajine, jedne od petnaest republika u tadašnjem Sovjetskom Savezu. Kad sam otišao, Sovjetski Savez se bio izvalio, a Kijev je bio glavni grad nezavisne Ukrajine.
