HOW INSTITUTIONAL COMMUNICATION WORKS: THE EU ENLARGEMENT AND THE DEMOCRATIC TRANSITION IN THE BLACK SEA REGION STATES

Author(s): George Jiglău,Sergiu Gherghina / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2009

The process of enlargement of the European Union has been approached in many studies and from different perspectives in the past years. This article focuses on the idea of institutional communication between the candidate countries and the EU and takes into account two dimensions relevant for explaining the impact of a foreign actor on the democratization process at the internal level: the structural factors that emphasize economic development and the institutional elements needed to establish a sustainable democracy. This article analyzes the relationships between the EU enlargement policies and the democratic and free market performances of those states from the Black Sea Region that are closer to the EU in ideas and/or expressed for a long period the willingness to join the European structures.

PRIČA

Author(s): Danijela Ančić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Roman Derviš i smrt započinje riječima: “Počinjem ovu svoju priču nizašto, bez koriti za sebe i druge, iz potrebe koja je jača od koristi i razuma…” Spajajući glasove u riječi, riječi u rečenice, čovjek iznosi svoje misli, osjećaje, iskustva, događaje i slično te tako, često i ne znajući, oblikuje priču. Priča u književnoteorijskom smislu podrazumijeva vremenski i uzročno-posljedični slijed događaja, naraciju, ali kao književna vrsta, primjećuju naratolozi, polako nestaje. Zanimljivo je pročitati i uvjeriti se kako priča kao književna vrsta uistinu nestaje, ali je i zanimljivo koliko i kako je živjela i živi, bez obzira na trivijalnost, svuda oko nas.

PRIPREMANJE ŠKOLSKOGA OZRAČJA ZA INDIVIDUALIZACIJU i INKLUZIJU U OBRAZOVANJU U OSNOVNOJ ŠKOLI

Author(s): Snježana Šušnjara / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Inclusion should always be practiced within a society. Every member of the society should be reeducated. Society influences all spheres of public and private life including education. Children should be educated in a democratic way, ready to accept differences and to live with them. If this is true, they will accept an inclusive education easily. They bring positive attitudes from their families and they are prepared to learn more and to live in the richness and diversity of our civilization. Our everyday living is burdened by all kinds of discriminations. Because of this, children should be educated individually and inlusivelly according to their abilities. Only a healthy, human society can contribute to the progress of the school system that will enrich each individual, educating them in a democratic and flexible way. The main goal is to establish democratic habits and culture within schools. It is neccessary to create a pozitive environment for individualization and inclusion within the educational system. Everyday communication is mostly colored by a discriminated term, especially considering students with special needs. This must be changed. In some schools special classes are settled in basements and are isolated from ordinary classes. School space and its environment should be planned and built in such a way that is adequate for children with special needs. There are cases where some teachers look differently at teachers who work with special children. Such cases of discrimination should be eliminated. Schools have to be humanized in such a manner incorporating inclusive colors. In order to prepare schools for inclusion and individualisation, teachers should be educated for this. Programs and seminars for professional development related to this topic should be organized. Teachers’ colleges also need some changes regarding their inclusive characters. Subjects for future teachers should be more inclusive. There is a lack of a proper school material, tools and devices for work with these children. It is neccessary to change traditional attitudes and prejudices. Schools and society as a whole must be opened for everyone. Progress of any individual depends on the readiness and will of every member of society to help, to promote, to improve existing situation in regular and special schools

ODGOJEM UVJETOVANE TEŠKOĆE I POREMEĆAJI U PONAŠANJU

Author(s): Dragica Ćorić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Pravilan djetetov razvoj pretpostavlja usklađenost bioloških čimbenika koji su odgovorni za tjelesni rast i ravnotežu živčanih funkcija te odgojnih uvjeta. Pojavljivanje teškoća na nekom od važnih polja djetetove psihičke aktivnosti dovodi do pojave i teškoća u ponašanju. Ako takvo ponašanje nanosi štetu djetetu i razredu te ako nema pozitivne promjene poslije uobičajene pedagoške intervencije, radi se o poremećajima u ponašanju koji zahtijevaju dodatnu stručnu pomoć.

Školska zgrada sve je više predmet ozbiljnih znanstvenih razmatranja. Znanstvenici, znanstveni timovi istražuju njezinu organizacijsku strukturu ovisno o ciljevima i zadatcima, karakteru škole, nove pedagoško-didaktičke koncepcije nastave te niza drugih relevantnih čimbenika. Osnovni cilj tih nastojanja jest ostvarenje prostora koji je pravilno dimenzioniran i valjano opremljen, funkcionalan i skladno arhitektonski i pedagoški uklopljen u cjelokupnu organizaciju škole.

PEDAGOGIJA I PEDAGOZI IZMEĐU PROŠLOSTI I SADAŠNJOSTI KROZ VIZURU NEKIH PEDAGOŠKIH ANTINOMIJA

Author(s): Mladen Bevanda / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Nowadays, many reproaches are addressed to school, education. Criticism is in most cases cyclic, arbitrary, shallow, and unfounded. It is, however, indicative that mere reprehensions and dissatisfaction are oriented towards educational policy. Of course, neither pedagogy nor pedagogues are exempted, amnestied from direct or indirect public attack for the situation in school system and education at all. It is often expected from upbringing, education, even school system in the whole to be remarkably better than society in which they are realized. Regardless of the fact that pedagogy constantly seeks for better, more efficient methods of teaching and upbringing, contents, reality is not merely a bunch of these or those desires. There is an increasing interest in education aimed to many people, which is good, but school and pedagogy cannot assume responsibility for that which is not their sphere of action, which they don’t decide upon. Today, pedagogy is, one could say, at a certain crossway. It has to reexamine, reinterpret its own position and action in the past period and, at the same time, take a stand towards the present and the future. Pedagogy is again in the position, in temptation to become a defender of some ‘innovations’ falling upon school either as a request for new teaching subjects or ‘new’ methods of teaching and upbringing. The age of transition and globalization imposes on pedagogy and pedagogues huge professional responsibility.

KRATAK OSVRT NA PROBLEME ŠKOLSTVA U HERCEG-BOSANSKOJ ŽUPANIJI

Author(s): Marko Ančić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

S obzirom na zahtjeve koji se postavljaju pred suvremene obrazovne institucije slobodno se može reći da osnovno i srednje školstvo u Herceg-bosanskoj županiji ne daje zadovoljavajuće odgojne i obrazovne rezultate. Slabosti nad kojima se svi moramo zamisliti posebice se očituju u pedagoškoj, tj. odgojnoj funkciji i one će se, po svemu sudeći, u sljedećim godinama javljati u još radikalnijem obliku što će, pak, imati nesagledive negativne posljedice za cjelokupan društveni život u ovoj gotovo već u svim segmentima destruiranoj sredini.

PROČISTITI OČI

Author(s): Ivan Sivrić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Kao što je poznato, izreka Mens sana in corpore sano (Zdrav duh u zdravu tijelu) nije izrečena, kako se to danas pretežno interpretira, u slavu gimnastike. Stari je satiričar Juvenal mislio na čovjeka zdrava duhom i tijelom. Preciznije, mislio je: treba se moliti (bogovima) da bude zdrav duh u zdravu tijelu – Ornandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano. Možda bi nam ovo podsjećanje moglo poslužiti za tvrdnju da zdravlje tijela ne donosi nužno i zdravlje duha te kao polazište za tezu da uspješnu naobrazbu ne prati nužno dobar odgoj.

8. MEDITERANSKI FESTIVAL DOKUMENTARNOGA FILMA U ŠIROKOM BRIJEGU

Author(s): Ivo Čolak / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Od ove su godine širokobriješki Dani filma i službeno promijenili naziv u MEDITERAN(ski) FILM(ski) FESTIVAL. Tim je nazivom napokon konkretiziran sadržaj i područje koje ovaj festival godinama pokriva. Ove je godine izostala i tradicionalna napetost organizatora kako će grad i šira regija te kako će svekoliki mediji prihvatiti festival. Danas on ima svoju publiku, svoju draž i prepoznatljivost i postao je nezaobilazna postaja filmskih događaja u regiji. Što je još značajnije, postao je jedan od zaštitnih simbola ovoga hercegovačkog gradića; Široki je Brijeg grad športa (višestruki košarkaški i nogometni prvak), grad Akademije likovnih umjetnosti te grad Mediteranskoga festivala dokumentarnoga filma.

PRIRODOSLOVLJEM DO BAŠTINE U OSNOVNOŠKOLSKOM OBRAZOVANJU ODRASLIH

Author(s): Dragana Mamić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Those who lived before us do not live only in our memories but also in everything they left as the inheritance, material and spiritual. It depends on us if we will reject their heritage or preserve it and find valuable “pearls” in it, which can be our life salvation. Today, especially young generations favor rejecting and forgetting such values. If the connection with past time was broken in the name of false “modernism and contemporariness”, entire work of our ancestors would be forgotten. Therefore it is necessary to act educationally how frequenters could recognize the life values. It is necessary to encourage the thing which they posses in themselves. Time spirit interwoven through natural sciences and connected with working orientations can give love and respect to that which existed before us and help the individual to feel that he is a part of “wider community”, warm home “nest” and not only from those who are living at the moment, but also, as A. Finkielkraut says, from those who lived before us. Every individual is free to express his positive personality through his potentials, and every community should endeavor to achieve better results and encourage constant social improvement among its population. Preserving the heritage should be an integral process of education which will be promoted by the educator. Interwoven with nature and work, it will be an important segment of knowing how to inherit professional competences.

MORALNOST, MORALNA PSIHOLOGIJA I NARCISOIDNA PSIHOLOŠKA KULTURA

Author(s): Miro Jakovljević,Sanea Nađ / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Narcisoidnost je ozbiljan moralni poremećaj koji pogađa ne samo narcisoidne pojedince nego u sve većoj mjeri i društvo u kojemu živimo. Narcisoidnost je toliko raširena pojava da možemo govoriti o dominirajućoj narcisoidnoj psihološkoj i političkoj kulturi. Drugim riječima, narcisoidnost ne predstavlja samo individualnu patologiju nego i važan suvremeni društveni i kulturni fenomen, pri čemu treba razlikovati zdravi narcizam od patološke narcisoidnosti. Mnoge javne osobe, poslovni ljudi, političari i lideri šepure se i razmeću svojom veličinom, a mase kao da jedva čekaju priliku da ih i sami oponašaju u ispraznom glamuru projicirajući u njih vlastitu potrebu za svemoćnosti.

RAD U KOMBINIRANOM ODJELJENJU

Author(s): Marinko Jovanović,Radica Jovanović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2007

Working in a multi-level class is not pedagogical news, but on the other hand the number of multi-level classes has been growing in the last twenty years. Huge migrations and evident fall of birth-rate had caused a lot of country schools to organize lectures in the multi-level classes because of the insufficient number of pupils. Beside the lower primary school, this kind of organization of the lectures has also started in higher primary school level. Unfortunately, increasing of above mentioned problems has not been followed by adequate proficient and scientific researches. Considering the fact that mainly young teachers have been involved in this kind of work, it is clear that this problem is more evident. Moreover, there has not been any scientific literature with a good quality which could make the work for teachers easier. Therefore teachers should constantly work on their own competence, and also be open to new experiences. The work in multi-level class covers the category of specific work, thus this kind of work should be verified in certain way. Although these problems have not been a matter of discussion among scientific experts, the multi-level class is not going to stop functioning for a long time. There should be much more a written paper in this field, than it has been a case so far.

IDENTITIES AS NECESSARY FICTIONS

Author(s): Suzana Marković Krstić,Miloš Jovanović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2012

The paper deals with the theory of identity which was elaborated by a British sociologist and historian Jeffrey Weeks in his book Invented Moralities – Sexual Values in an Age of Uncertainty (1995). Although he primarily discusses sexual identities, his view can be applied in considerations of other types of identity – ethnic, national, religious, class, status, racial, gender, generational, geographical, political in the narrow sense and so forth. As a part of his larger project of radical humanism, which puts the spotlight on individual freedom and celebrates the rich diversity of human goals whilst affirming the importance of solidarity among people, Weeks discusses identities as necessary fictions – complex, hybrid, heterogeneous and historical social constructions. If they are asserted too firmly, there are dangers of fixing identifications and values that are (always and necessarily) in flux; yet if their validity is denied, there is an even greater danger of disempowering individuals and groups from the best means of mobilizing for social change. Weeks (following Foucault) pleads for a move towards the research of the forms of social relations that would allow our identities to take on more fluid meanings, which would enable the actors to take a more enlightened, conscious and critical look at themselves and at those with whom they come into a variety of interactions. The last part of the paper examines the possibilities and scope of Weeks’ conception in the study of post-socialist societies in transition.

THE BIG GOVERNMENT’ OF B. H. OBAMA AND THE DODD – FRANK ACT

Author(s): Slavejko Sasajkovski,Ljubica Micanovska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2012

The global financial- economic crisis that all characteristics of its crisis nature began apparently to manifest in the summer 2008 in a completely striking and dramatically manner has highlighted and imposed the dilemma of power, competencies and functions of the modern capitalist state. In general, primarily and especially, in the area of the social-economic relations. Especially the functions of the modern capitalist state that were applied and demonstrated in USA both as a respond to, and a solution of the financial–economic crisis (first of all, the anti-cyclic nature of the applied fiscal and monetary policies, exactly as determined and recommended by John Maynard Keynes), have theoretically, ideologically and politically troubled exactly the determination and definition of the social–economic functions of the modern capitalist state. That is, primarily the concrete concept and the concrete ways of anti-crisis application of the fiscal and monetary policy have clarified to the extreme limits the problem of the theoretical and ideologically political identity of the modern capitalist state. This clarification of the problem of theoretical and ideologically–political identity of the modern capitalist state in the societal field of social–economic relations, complemented and strengthened through the previously conducted reform of the health care system from the position of strengthening the power, competencies and functions of the modern American capitalist state, has also imposed the interest in the phenomenon of the so-called Big Government to the theoretical and ideologically–political plan. It is understandable and very normal that this interest that is especially and primarily theoretically and ideologically–political, has occurred and was demonstrated exactly by the American theoretical and ideologically political (Republican) right wing. So it happened that among the other striking theoretical and ideologically- political products and reactions appeared ultra (neo) conservative and ultra (neo) liberal Tea party movement, as well. If we sublimate, the (neo) conservative and (neo) liberal reaction to the awakening of the left–capitalist/ capitalist interventionist “Big Government” is located and moving along the theoretical and ideologically political path of emphasizing the loss of the civil/individual freedom for the interest of expansion and growth of the state/ bureaucratic powers and functions. That is, the subordination of the civil/individual interest is explicated theoretically and ideologically-politically as being exerted for the benefit of the prevalence of the state / bureaucratic interests.

DANGEROUS SENTIMENTS: NATIONALISM AND POLITICS IN MACEDONIA

Author(s): Mirjana Maleska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2012

When shall we see the beginning of the end of the twenty years ‘name dispute’ between Macedonia and Greece, which left Macedonia in front of the NATO and EU doors, and which threatens to disintegrate the state along ethnic lines? When does the moment come when a chance may at least appear that “the nationalism of the powerless” will be considered reasonable when their goals are within reach? If international politics still functions on the principle expounded by the realists – that the strong do what they want while the weak do what they must, and having in mind the name dispute between Macedonia and Greece, the question arises: how much time it takes for the nationalism of those who believe that are powerful enough to get what they want (saying: “these are our rights and they are nonnegotiable”) to break down the nationalism of the “powerless”? The main thesis in this article is that whatever was achieved so far, as a result of the pressure on Macedonia to change its constitutional name in these twenty years comes down to the following: Macedonian nationalism increased and strengthened, the antagonism between the Macedonian and the Albanian political parties deepened, and the democratic process in the country was undermined. However, the results of the early elections in 2011, indicate that the Macedonian society slowly consolidates, under the so called ‘fatigue’ of ‘protracted conflict’ and prepares for a compromise.

ANSWER OF THE “SMALL” CULTURES TO THE CHALLENGES OF GLOBALIZATION

Author(s): Zoran Jovanović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2012

Culture as a general process of intellectual, spiritual and aesthetic human development and as a dominant way of life in one group, an ethnic entity, society, manifests its duality as a part and as a determinant of individual and collective identity. As much as self-conscious individuals intend to protect their spiritual personality, each community, aware of their own spiritual horizons and their new spiritual needs, always finds itself between gender uniqueness and universality. Possible attempts of resolution of these apparent contradictions range from conflict, isolation, sublimation and synergy, to depersonalization. In this paper will be singled out many attempts to be sought to preserve, or break down, cultural identity in this region. It will indicate to the destructive role of politics and media, and the ability to overcome the consequences resulting from such processes.
