Defining threats linked to the influx of immigrants and refugees to France based to the report «Attitudes Towards Refugees, Immigrants, and Identity in France»

Author(s): Gabriela Piotrowska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

This paper explores the threats to France’s security linked to the influx of immigrants and refugees. As the number of immigrants and refugees entering the country grows, security policies are jeopardised. The opinions French citizens on the safety of local politics, communities, identity, culture, language, and religion are surveyed in the 2017 report Attitudes Towards Refugees, Immigrants, and Identity in France. The analysis of data included in the report shows negative attitudes toward Islam and generally doubts towards newcomers. The results of the analysis present an important knowledge for security policies because it is a reflection of a nations wariness. That having been said, more studies need to be conducted in order to have a better perspective on the identified issues.

Postmodernizam, jezična politika i ratovanje na BliskomE istoku: odraz neoteričnoga eksperimentiranja u vojnoj terminologiji na ishod Drugoga libanonskog rata

Author(s): Dalibor Vrgoč / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 18/2021

Fifteen years after the Second Lebanon War – fought in July 2006 between the State of Israel and Hezbollah, a militant Shiite organization in Lebanon – analysts are largely unanimous in assessing that Israel, at the very least, experienced military failure in that war. Today, with years gone by, assessments of the outcome of the war are no longer so categorical and absolute. Some of the factors influencing the failure of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have however proved relevant, and their repercussions are recognizable in current Israeli military thought. Therefore, in this paper, the research interest is focused on a thus far insufficiently studied aspect of the Second Lebanon War – the language. More specifically, the terminology used by Israeli military forces in war operations against Hezbollah is discussed. According to a report by an Israeli commission established after the end of the war, the terminology introduced into military doctrines just prior to the conflict is explicitly emphasized in several places as one of the determinants of Israeli military failure. The research of primary sources and the review of recent re-evaluations of the impact and outcomes of the war shed light on the extent of the consequences of the frivolous approach to the formation of military language policy. The research elaborates on the scholarly weight that terminology carries in the language of every profession, and especially in the defense sciences.

25 godina Daytonskog mirovnog sporazuma. Odgovornost međunarodne zajednice za stanje u BiH

Author(s): Mladen Bevanda / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 115/2020

Svi oni koji su privrženi, vjerni svojoj domovini imaju pravo, ali i obvezu, slobodno izreći i kritički govoriti kako vide stanje u BiH nakon četvrt stoljeća od donošenja, usvajanja Daytonskog sporazuma. Pritom ne treba osjećati strah da će se odgovarati za svaki prigovor, za izraženo mišljenje. Svojedobno su, naime, mnogi hrvatski dužnosnici, i ne samo oni, oštro kažnjavani samo zato što su bona fide – u najboljoj namjeri – otvoreno iznosili svoje objekcije, zamjerke na samovoljno mijenjanje i nametanje rješenja koja su bila protivna slovu i duhu Daytona. Nekad neupitan, danas je ovaj Sporazum toliko izobličen, izmijenjen da ne sliči svom izvorniku. Hrvatski narod, međutim, trpi teške posljedice samovoljnog, bezobzirnog prekrajanja, ionako nepravednog Daytonskog sporazuma.

On the Brink of Post-Democracy: Indonesia’s Identity Politics in the Post-Truth Era

Author(s): I Nyoman Wiratmaja,Made Yaya Sawitri / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2021

As a country with a diversity of languages, religions, ethnicities and cultures, Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to the hostile play of identity politics. Lies produced during the Post-Truth period exploit many emotional sentiments and provoke interest groups to act based on primordial impulses that support certain political interests. The negative turbulence related to identity politics due to the chaotic circulation of hoaxes and misinformation is feared to lead to a Post-Democratic situation. Taking the case study of the two most influential elections in Indonesia: the 2017 Jakarta provincial election and the 2019 presidential election, this paper will explore how the Post-Truth phenomenon incorporates the issue of identity politics to generate a Post-Democratic situation in Indonesia. Secondary data analysis from the news and social media will be employed to further explain how identity politics is distorted in the media, and how it can generate social and political turbulence.

REFLECTIONS ON CONTEMPORARY NON-MILITARY SECURITY CHALLENGES AT EUROPEAN LEVEL

Author(s): Marius Spechea / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The third millennium brought with it a series of structural transformations in terms of the international system and the nature of confrontations, so peripheral elements, usually with an auxiliary role, became central elements of combat strategies. Moreover, probably because of the nuclear deterrence during the Cold War, modern, post-modern warfare has become non-military in the classical sense of the term. This research shyly addresses an increasingly hot topic on the security agenda, a topic quite ignored and considered harmless or too theoretical until recently, the topic of cultural war. The hybrid nature of recent European security threats forces us to reflect, but without pretensions of lifesaving solutions or absolute conclusions on the increasingly tense situation unfolding around us. Crises overlap and take different forms, from the refugee crisis to the internal identity crises of the West, but all make the European security environment vulnerable and require analyzes that look for the deep sources of these crises and the useful tools in their management.

ODPOWIEDZI NA ANKIETĘ - WALDEMAR BUKOWSKI

Zaproszony do uczestnictwa w ankiecie, chciałbym odnieść się do niektórych tylko obszarów badań z okresu późnego, długiego średniowiecza, którym się zajmuję. Ale jako przedstawiciel pokolenia, które zaczynało działalność naukową w latach osiemdziesiątych i aktywny uczestnik ówczesnych wydarzeń, nie mogę nie wrócić pamięcią do przełomowego roku 1989 i niektórych jego następstw. Upadła cenzura. Odzyskaliśmy historię najnowszą. Symbolem tego było ujawnienie i przekazanie przez Rosjan w latach 1990 i 1992 dokumentów potwierdzających odpowiedzialność ZSRR za mord katyński. Wprowadzono system indywidualnego finansowania badań, co umożliwiało realizacje ambitnych projektów.

Modernization as a Transition from a “Traditional” to a Postmodern Society

Author(s): Svitlana Hladchenko,Halyna Bilanych,Inna Ivzhenko,Lilia Florko,Kateryna Vakarchuk,Zhanna Davydova / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

The purpose of the article is to explore the gender aspect of the modernization of Tunisian society from modernism to postmodernism, which defined the cultural concept of the twentieth century. The article conducts a comprehensive study of gender aspects of the modernization of Tunisian society since the beginning of this modernization in 1900 of the XX century. to the beginning of the XXI century; for the first time the periodization of the women's movement in Tunisia in the period of modern history is presented and substantiated; analyzed the history of the impact of political and legal reforms of the Tunisian government on changing the gender situation in society; reflects the specifics of gender ideas and practices of Tunisian society in historical retrospect. The degree of influence of the French colonial regime on the modernization of Tunisian society in a gender context is determined; an analysis of the specifics of gender relations in Islamic society. It is proved that Islamic democracy was presented as a guarantor of the real emancipation of women, provided that she retains the primary status of wife and mother. This principle, due to the socio-cultural traditions of Tunisian society, was in fact basic in gender perceptions and for this period. Biographies of the leaders of the Tunisian movement show that their social self-realization was usually directly ensured by the status of the wife of a politician.

ODNOS VLASTI PREMA BOSANSKOM JEZIKU ZA VRIJEME AUSTROUGARSKE UPRAVE U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI

Pitanje naziva jezika u vrijeme austrougarske uprave u Bosni i Herceegovini tema je o kojoj se do sada mnogo pisalo s različitih aspekata. Cilj je ovoga izlaganja prikazati hronologiju važnijih događanja u vezi s imenovanjem jezika u austrougarskom periodu u Bosni i Hercegovini te pokazati da Bošnjaci nisu imali nikakvoga utjecaja kod austrougarske uprave na njeno imenovanje jezika bosanskim niti da je austrougarska uprava takvim nazivom željela „udovoljiti“ Bošnjacima.

IDENTITY, REGIONAL ETHNICITY AND NATIONALITY IN CARTHAGINIAN DISCOURSE

Author(s): Eka Avaliani / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This paper explores the sociopolitical and state dynamics of the Carthaginian statehood, early manifestations of nationhood and nationalism and also unpacks issues such as the identity and regional ethnicity in Carthaginian discourse. This study argues there were indeed ancient nations and that Carthage represents one of the best examples. Carthaginian citizens and allies exhibited their national affiliation in a variety of ways, most notably via a willingness to fight for the Carthaginian national collective in the face of extreme duress during the Punic Wars.

Litewska mniejszość narodowa w Polsce – język i społeczność

Author(s): Nijola Birgiel / Language(s): Polish Issue: 07/2021

This paper is dedicated to Lithuanians, one of the smallest national minorities in Poland. It characterises the Lithuanian community, which densely populates the Podlasie region in three clusters (Puńsk, Sejny, Suwałki). The study presents the last century’s history of the Lithuanian education and culture, including differences between the Puńsk and Sejny centres. Lithuanians’ strong sense of national identity is closely connected with their mother tongue, culture and traditions. The minority’s community nature is evidenced by the high prestige and broad scope of use of the native dialect. The functions of the primary and secondary languages are clearly specified by the Lithuanian- or Polish-speaking recipient. The transformations occurring in the Southern Aukštaitian dialect are aimed at unification of the Sejny and Puńsk dialects in younger people’s speech and creation of a regiolect. Interference under a strong influence of the Polish language is noticeable at all levels of the primary language.

The Chosen People: The Hudson River School and the Construction of American Identity

Author(s): Tricia Cusack / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This text considers nineteenth-century riverscapes of the Hudson in relation to the formation of American identity. It argues that riverscapes in the United States contributed to welding a national identity to a Christian one, although officially the identities were distinct. I examine the role of the Hudson River School in the creation of the ‘wilderness’ as an image of American homeland, and how this construct incorporated the iconic figure of the Euro-American Christian 'pilgrim-pioneer.’ America looked more to the future than to the past for its national narrative, and an orientation to the future was symbolized in art by the flow of the Hudson toward distant horizons, while the pioneer identity was extended to embrace the entrepreneur-developer. The pioneer has remained an iconic figure for American nationalism, but is now more firmly located in the nation’s past; Janus’s gaze has been adjusted, demonstrating the potentially fluid character of nationalist discourse.

В поисках природы английского национализма: от империи до современности

Author(s): Evgeny Alexandrovich Atapin / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2021

This paper attempts to reveal the essence of the complex nature of English nationalism by tracing its transformation from the 18th century to the early 21st century. The reasons for unpopularity of the problem of English national identity in the English historical discourse (such as the absence of serious national upheavals since the birth of modern British statehood and the relative political success, which made the English national introspection superfluous) were discussed. A contradiction between the “horizontal” perception of the English by the peoples of the British Empire and the view held by the citizens of England on their superiority over others was analyzed. The fact of “concealment” of English nationalism in the British identity to pursue the interests of the empire was revealed. To contrast contemporary English nationalism with that of the imperial era, the research by the Centre for English Identity and Politics highlighting the English concern about their own political representation in the United Kingdom after the devolution was cited. It was concluded that the nature of English nationalism has changed from a civil AngloBritish version without an emphasis on English ethnicity during the empire’s existence to a predominantly ethnic one with a focus on English identity with extremely limited opportunities for civil expression in the early 21st century.

Links between foreign and security policy and historical memory: the case of Serbia – Kosovo relations

Author(s): Anna Jagiełło-Szostak / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

The article aims to analyse the impact of historical memory on foreign and security policy using the example of the Serbia – Kosovo relations in the period of 2014-2019. Historical memory is a burden, challenge and opportunity for foreign and security policy, and has a considerable impact on bilateral relations between countries which used to be in conflict. Historical memory generates numerous research questions – who is the architect of memory? what are the actors? what are the mechanisms, tools and instruments of its creation? how is it used to maintain power and what are its effects? – to name but a few. In the example analysed, leaders use historical memory to create separate identities and gain power, whereas NGOs do it to commemorate victims. Historical memory is present in celebrating important dates, historical places, monuments and events, and creating national heroes. It also draws attention to the stereotypes in school textbooks and to transitional justice. The most important space for historical memory in the analysis is Kosovo and the role of an international organisation – the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Historical memory has an important function in the process of regional reconciliation, which is an essential condition for cooperation and security in the Western Balkans.
