Социално-икономически ефекти от публичните инвестиции за приобщаване на ромите в Каварна

Author(s): Yva Alexandrova,Slavyanka Ivanova,Anna Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian

The aim of the current report is to provide new data and insight on the social and economic effects of public investments in Roma communities from a human development perspective. Its objective is to establish the effects of a wide range of public investments made by Kavarna municipality in the mostly-Roma neighbourhood of Hadji Dimitar, between 2004 and 2014. The investment covered areas such as housing and infrastructure, healthcare, employment, income, poverty and social exclusion, justice and crime, and political participation. It reviews a range of indicators with the aim of establishing the effects of these investments on the social and economic development of the neighbourhood and its residents, both Roma and non-Roma. It also looks beyond the neighbourhood to provide a comparative perspective on a national level. The data presented here is derived from a variety of sources and covers a range of indicators. Every effort has been made to ensure the use of similar indicators and definitions as previous household surveys, notably the UNDP/FRA study, and the NSI, however, the results are not directly comparable due to the difference in survey methodologies, samples and scope. The data presented should be taken as an indication of trends and tendencies. The lack of concrete data on the initial investments, the inputs and relevant baseline indicators has also challenged the quantifying of the contribution of individual public investments. Different investments have had different impact on the development of the neighbourhood and reducing the distances with the Bulgarian residents. This impact has been established by looking at the results obtained from a specialised household survey conducted among 300 Roma and non-Roma households in the Hadji Dimitar quarter of Kavarna in 2015. The relevance and impact of these changes is analysed through comparison with the national averages for the whole population and the averages for Roma nationally. It is also measured against the investments to establish a positive correlation between the effect and the investment where such data exists.

Strategie české politiky vůči Německu

Author(s): Jakub Eberle,Vladimír Handl / Language(s): Czech

Dlouhodobá strategie české politiky vůči Německu v současnosti chybí. O politice vůči SRN nelze uvažovat mimo její evropský kontext. Je v zájmu ČR usilovat o „více Evropy“? Je posílení Berlína příležitostí pro těsnější vzájemné vztahy? Úspěšná politika se musí řídit promyšlenou kombinací některých ze čtyř ideálně-typických strategií – prohlubování, renacionalizace, následování a vyvažování. Doporučení pro českou zahraniční politiku: Vzhledem k možnostem malého státu, vzájemné závislosti a pozitivní roli SRN v evropském prostředí je nejvýhodnější prohlubovat EU a následovat Německo.

Anthropological Perspectives on Transnational Encounters in Turkey: War, Migration and Experiences of Coexistence

Author(s): / Language(s): English

This book includes studies conducted on the basis of field research by academics specialized in social anthropology in various universities in Turkey. Anthropological studies on migration date back a long way. Leaving their desk in the office, anthropologists have taken to the field, placing participatory observations and in-depth interviews at the center of their research. The story of this book emerged from the thoughts of anthropologists, who had made presentations on migration, coming together during a symposium and discussing how to write about such a topic. A qualitative research method was used in work containing examples from Ankara, Istanbul, Burdur, Van, Ardahan, Sivas and Hatay. The focal groups had been displaced and/or had witnessed war. This book is composed of eleven chapters. The majority of the studies were conducted with the participation of Syrian immigrants. The wave of compulsory emigration from Syria due to the continuing conflict in the country has affected Turkey deeply. Syrians under temporary protection have been living in almost every Turkish city since the early years of the war. The book also includes papers on groups who have come from Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia to Turkey, settling in various places in the country, in addition to Syrian immigrants. Content PREFACE Meryem Bulut and Kadriye Şahin CHAPTER 1 – RETHINKING MIGRATION WITHIN AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Ceren Aksoy Sugiyama and Seher Çataloğlu CHAPTER 2 – ARTIFICIAL BORDERS AND NATIONALISM: TURKMEN MIGRATION FROM IRAQ TO ISTANBUL Seher Çataloğlu and Meryem Bulut CHAPTER 3 – GENDER PERCEPTIONS OF SYRIAN IMMIGRANTS RESIDING IN SİVAS PROVINCE CENTRE AND PATRIARCHAL NEGOTIATIONS Çağdaş Demren and Ünsal Karbuz CHAPTER 4 – “THE GUEST DOESN’T LIKE ANOTHER GUEST, AND THE HOST LIKES NEITHER” : SOMALI REFUGEES FORGOTTEN IN A SATELLITE TOWN Ayşe Yıldırım CHAPTER 5 – CONTRIBUTION OF NGOs TO THE INTEGRATION OF SYRIAN IMMIGRANTS IN MARDİN Süleyman Şanlı CHAPTER 6 – RECONSTRUCTION OF DAILY LIFE BETWEEN TWO CULTURES: SYRIAN WOMEN LIVING IN ANTAKYA Aylin Eraslan CHAPTER 7 – AFGHANISTANI IMMIGRANTS SEEKING PEACE IN VAN Fuat Leventoğlu CHAPTER 8 – “TURKISH-GERMAN” FAMILIES: AN INSIDER VIEWPOINT ABOUT WAR, MIGRATION AND THE TRANSNATIONAL FAMILY BUILDING EXPERIENCE Oya Topdemir Koçyiğit CHAPTER 9 – PERCEPTIONS ABOUT ‘WAR MIGRANTS’ FROM SYRIA IN ANTAKYA: ANXIETY, FEAR, EMPATHY Mustafa Çapar CHAPTER 10 – MIGRANT WOMEN IN VAN: HOME AND DAILY LIFE AS A REFLECTION OF BELONGING Berivan Vargün CHAPTER 11 – THE CUISINE OF UZBEKS WHO EMIGRATED FROM AFGHANISTAN TO OVAKENT (HATAY): PRESERVED, CHANGED AND REMEMBERED Kadriye Şahin

Movilidad humana en Latinoamérica: nuevos patrones, nuevos retos

Author(s): / Language(s): Spanish

Migration as a process has countless approaches and edges to study, from forced migration caused by war, failed states or natural disasters, to the migration of retirees to paradisiacal sites in order to improve quality older adults' lives. However, the bulk of migration studies persist in analyzing and clarifying labour force migration from the economic south to the north. In this sense, the present book "Human Mobility in Latin America; new patterns, new challenges" implies a serious effort on the part of publishers to bring new discussions to human mobility from multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary, so that, the reader will find a series of ten articles that address the problem of migration in Latin America, as an expulsion region of migrants, but always attending to the object of study in a rigorous and new way.

Partnerstvo za otvorenu vlast i akciono planiranje: pristup, izazovi i prakse

Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): Bosnian

Dvadeset četvrtog septembra, u sjedištu Ujedinjenih nacija, Partnerstvo za otvorenu vlast zvanično je poželjelo dobrodošlicu Bosni i Hercegovini (dalje u tekstu: BiH) kao svojoj 65. zemlji članici. Partnerstvo za otvorenu vlast (Open Government Partnership - OGP) je međunarodna dobrovoljna inicijativa ustanovljena na principima transparentnosti, odgovornosti i učešća javnosti. Pokrenuto 2011. godine kako bi pružalo međunarodnu platformu za domaće reformatore odlučne da svoje vlade učine otvorenijim, odgovornijim te pristupačnijim za građane, Partnerstvo je naraslo od osam do 65 zemalja članica. U svim tim zemljama, vlada i civilno društvo zajednički rade na razvoju i implementiranju ambicioznih reformi za otvorenu vlast. Danas postoji preko 2000 inicijativa koje implementiraju razne zemlje u okviru Partnerstva, a sve kako bi svoje vlade učinile otvorenijim i odgovornijim. Zemlje članice su se pridruživale u različitim trenucima, tako da neke od njih sada implementiraju svoj drugi akcioni plan, neke prvi, a najnovije članice, uključujući BiH, će tek razvijati svoj prvi akcioni plan. Očekuje se da će BiH predati svoj prvi akcioni plan do kraja juna 2015. godine. S obzirom na to da BiH počinje raditi na svom prvom akcionom planu, ovaj policy memorandum ima za cilj skicirati ključne elemente tog procesa i predložiti moguće pravce pristupa procesu akcionog planiranja u BiH.

Međunarodna podrška medijima Bosne i Hercegovine: pouke

Author(s): Tarik Jusić,Nidžara Ahmetašević / Language(s): Bosnian

Bosna i Hercegovina je tokom prethodne dvije decenije uživala obimnu i dugotrajnu međunarodnu podršku medijima: pravni okvir je temeljito reformiran; uspostavljeni su regulatorni i samoregulatorni mehanizmi; nezavisni i komercijalni mediji dobili su znatnu podršku; izgrađen je javni radiotelevizijski sistem. Ipak, mnoge su reformske inicijative naišle na žestok otpor, dok su neke druge ili propale ili tek djelimično uspjele. U nekim su slučajevima reformski procesi zaustavljeni ili poništeni čim su donatori i međunarodni akteri reducirali svoj angažman. Ova analiza bavi se kompleksnim odnosom lokalnog okruženja i medijskih reformi iniciranih programima međunarodne pomoći. Cilj je identificirati neke od glavnih izazova s kojima se suočavaju programi podrške medijima u zemlji, a onda kroz te primjere izvući pouke za slične projekte u budućnosti.

2023 Ukraine: Is the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war in sight?

Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): English

The Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. A year after the start of the war, the mystery surrounding its course is more intense than ever. In the first six months of the war Russia had the initiative, and the key questions were when, where and what kind of success it would achieve in attacks on the 2,500 kilometer long frontline. In the next five months, Ukraine took the initiative, and analysts tried to predict the location and possibilities of future counterattacks. It is difficult to predict what might happen and who will advance. Both sides are preparing for new attacks and face increasing losses on the battlefield, while expecting new reinforcements in weapons and manpower.

IFIMES II: Population and pollution and urbanisation

Author(s): J Scott Younger / Language(s): English

This article looks at the population growth with time and how this has impacted on man’s endeavours. The population numbers grew slowly but steadily from many centuries before the 1960s, when it took a sudden acceleration from 3 billion over the next 50 years to today’s level of over 8+ billion. The reason is twofold; people living longer, due to advances in medical science, as well as having more children. It is expected to rise further to approximately 10.5 billion by mid-century and slowly decline thereafter to be about 9 billion by the turn of the century.

Of multilateralism and future to Europe Recalibration

Author(s): Donald Johnston / Language(s): English

This panel in addressing the future of Europe is invited to answer this question: “Is there any alternative to universal and pan-European multilateralism? For the purpose of my remarks I am interpreting “universal and pan – European multilateralism’ as moving forward with achieving more EU integration supported by institutions appropriate to a kind of federal structure in line with the thinking of the Spinelli Group. But it also raises the question of global free trade which I promoted as Secretary General of the OECD and continue to believe must be the word’s future in addressing poverty and opportunity, especially for the worlds developing countries. But it has to be managed in a way sensitive to the challenges of both.

European Reconstruction: A Project Born of Uncertainty

Author(s): Antonia Colibasanu / Language(s): English

France and Germany on May 18 proposed a plan for the European Union’s economic recovery after the coronavirus crisis. The proposal calls for the creation of a common fund filled with money the European Commission would borrow from capital markets and channel to member states to fund their recoveries. It marks the first time Germany has given in to the idea of borrowing money together with other EU member states. It comes after the German Constitutional Court rejected the potential issuance of “coronabonds,” joint debt for which all EU countries would have been equally liable. The current proposal calls for joint debt, but it would be guaranteed by the EU budget and not by all EU countries individually.

Europe Complete

Author(s): Strahinja Subotić,Miloš Pavković,Sava Mitrović / Language(s): English

The Conference on the Future of Europe (CotFoE) presents a unique opportunity for citizens to discuss – at a European, national, regional and local level – how to shape the future of the old continent in terms of securing reforms that would lead towards progress, prosperity, and security. As these issues cannot be properly tackled without integrating the Western Balkans (WB) into the wider debates, European Policy Centre (CEP - Belgrade) has taken a proactive step forward by organising a high-level conference under the name EUROPE COMPLETE. The title of this initiative was deliberately chosen to showcase that only a united Europe, a continent comprised of countries sharing common values, can properly address the ever-growing number of cross-border challenges. This concept therefore extends beyond the EU as it envisions the WB as an essential piece of the European puzzle.

Setting the Stage for Enlargement - The Integration of the Staged Accession Model into the New Growth Plan for the Western Balkans

Author(s): Strahinja Subotić / Language(s): English

The inception of the New Growth Plan for the Western Balkans (NGP) represented a pivotal moment in the ongoing discussions of how to breathe life into gradual integration within the EU’s approach to enlargement. Gradual integration can be broadly defined as the strategy to incrementally extend membership-like benefits to non-member states, thereby smoothing their transition toward full EU membership. Since 2021, the Model for Staged Accession has pioneered a horizontal approach to this concept, linking the access to increased benefits to the level of accomplished reforms in all clusters. This model seeks to move beyond the traditional binary approach to enlargement while prioritising the Fundamentals. Given that both the Model and the NGP represent attempts of operationalising gradual integration, it is warranted to analyse to what extent they overlap. The paper posits that while the NGP effectively integrates the Model’s principle of conditional financial incentives to promote reforms, it overlooks the critical role of institutional participation as a complementary driver for accelerated accession progress. Uncovering the similarities and nuances of the NGP and the Model, the aim of the paper is to provide clarity on the analysed topic to EU policymakers and guide them on how to continue exploring further possibilities of gradual integration in the next institutional cycle.

The Conference on the Future of Europe: Is the EU still serious about the Balkans?

Author(s): Milena Lazarević,Corina Stratulat / Language(s): English

If the EU does not count the Balkan countries among the stakeholders who should participate, in some form, in the upcoming Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE), then one has to wonder whether the Union is still serious about the European perspective of the region. The EU should allow political leaders and citizens from the Balkan countries to join the activities and discussions held in the context of the CoFoE on a consultative basis, along the representative and citizens’ dimensions of the process, respectively. In doing so, the EU would build on the precedent of the European Convention of the early 2000s. The EU has nothing to lose and everything to win by deepening and re¬ning its relationship with the Balkan countries, by allowing the region to feel included in its plans for the future of the EU. The Union would use the interdependence with the Balkans to good advantage, strengthening natural alliances with its neighbours and consolidating its political vicinity. Deliberating over joint responses to speci¬c common challenges addressed by the Conference would help the Balkan countries continue to build experience and know-how in preparation for their eventual EU membership. Allowing the Balkans to witness and contribute to this initiative would also foster a sense of togetherness and partnership that has been lacking from the long, drawn-out formal accession process. More, rather than less, EU-Balkans cooperation and coordination will build trust and loyalty. In the end, even without a formal invitation to accompany the CoFoE process, the Balkan countries should organise themselves at the political and societal levels to follow the Conference and mirror its activities with similar initiatives. The Regional Cooperation Council could help organise and coordinate a network of Balkan politicians tasked by their governments to follow and participate in the Conference. In parallel, civil society networks in the region should build on their already existing cooperation and look for funds to organise ‘Balkan Citizens’ Consultations’, which can accompany the CoFoE process as it unfolds. Such a broad mobilisation would prove the Balkan countries’ strong will to approach the EU and a certain dose of political maturity. But the Union should know better than to just wait to be impressed by the Balkans. The EU is one CoFoE invitation away from leaping forward into the future, together with its strong partners and closest neighbours, as Commission President von der Leyen referred to the Balkans in her State of the Union address.
