INTRODUCTION TO THE 35TH FICE WORLD CONGRESS SPECIAL ISSUE
No full textThe 35th World Congress of FICE-International, “Shaping Tomorrow’s Care for Children and Youth: Quality and Innovation in Alternative Care”, was held in Split, Croatia on October 23 to 25, 2024. The aim of this congress was to explore and promote innovative approaches to elevate child well-being in alternative care and child protection through collaborative efforts. This special issue of the International Journal of Child, Youth and Family Studies (IJCYFS) includes 14 articles based on presentations and discussions in Split. The authors represent 12 countries, thereby offering truly international perspectives, programs, and policies related to the conference themes
STAKEHOLDERS’ INSIGHTS INTO CHILD AND ADOLESCENT TO PARENT VIOLENCE AND ABUSE (CAPVA): A METASYNTHESIS OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
No full textChild and adolescent to parent violence and abuse (CAPVA) is one of the more complex areas within the domestic abuse domain. There is no clear consensus about the definition of CAPVA, nor are there widely accepted policies and guidelines about how to approach it. By reanalyzing findings collected from 21 qualitative studies that included children, adolescents, and parents who have experienced CAPVA and professionals who supported them, the current metasynthesis aims to contribute to the growing body of research in the area and to move towards developing more coherent policies and professional guidelines. Current findings highlight how the cycle of CAPVA impacts and is impacted by inherent terminological contradictions, relational tensions between parents and their children, the perceived attribution of its causes, and the accessibility of support systems. The multiple interconnected factors that were found lead to a comprehensive psychosocial model of CAPVA with practical implications for related services
Abrogation of Sovereignty in Colonial India: The 1857 Indian Sepoy Mutiny, 1919 Amritsar Massacre, and Dearth of Effective Accountability Measures
No full textDoes Canada’s Registered Charity Regime Withstand Charter Scrutiny? The Interplay Between Charities, Politics, and Freedom of Expression Following Canada Without Poverty
No full textIn the 2018 decision Canada Without Poverty v AG Canada, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (“ONSC”) held that the former iteration of subsection 149.1(6.2) of the Income Tax Act, which limited registered charities to spending no more than 10 percent of their resources on non-partisan political activities, unjustifiably infringed the applicant charity’s right to freedom of expression under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the “Charter”). This decision appears to leave the present subsection 149.1(6.2) vulnerable to a similar constitutional challenge, as it continues to restrict charities from engaging in partisan political activities and pursuing political purposes. Building on charity law scholar Kathryn Chan’s paper “Constitutionalizing the Registered Charity Regime,” this paper presents a hypothetical Charter challenge to test whether the amended subsection 149.1(6.2) could withstand a section 2(b) challenge and, if so, whether it could be justified under section 1. Through its Charter analysis, this paper critically examines the long-standing assumption that politics and charities are incompatible and evaluates justifications for maintaining the separation between politics and charities
Establishing Blameworthy Consumption: Addressing Intoxicated Violence While in a State of Automatism
No full textThe issue of intoxicated violence in a state of automatism poses significant legal and moral challenges in Canada’s criminal justice system. In R v Brown, the Supreme Court of Canada invalidated section 33.1 of the Criminal Code, prompting legislative reform that introduced foreseeability as a requirement for culpability. This analysis examines the tracing principle, which links voluntary intoxication to criminal responsibility for subsequent involuntary acts. This paper also examines the tracing principle’s implications for public safety, especially for vulnerable groups. This analysis proposes the adoption of intoxication thresholds, modeled on impaired driving regulations, to address evidentiary challenges in the current law. Intoxication thresholds would establish clear legal standards, enhance accountability, and strengthen protections for society. By incorporating objective intoxication limits and the tracing principle, the proposed framework seeks to balance the rights of the accused with public safety. These reforms would ensure accountability for foreseeable consequences of voluntary intoxication while addressing broader concerns about intoxicated violence in Canadian law
Anarchy and Theatre, Theatre and Anarchy: G.S. Khodes, E.P. Garin, and I.A. Charin’s engagements with the anarchist movement during the Russian Revolution (1917-1921) and its aftermath
No full textThe February Revolution overthrew the three-hundred-year monarchy of the Romanovs and stirred societal activity in Russia. Political and social movements, as well as professional and national-cultural unions, began to grow both quantitatively and qualitatively. Workers’, peasants’, and soldiers’ councils were organized across the country. These large-scale changes affected all areas of life, including the arts, literature, and the entire cultural sphere
Anarchists for Peace: Olga Misař, Pierre Ramus and the Austrian section of the War Resisters’ International
No full textBrigitte Rath reconstructs the intertwined biographies of Pierre Ramus (1876–1950) and Olga Misař (1876–1950), two leading figures of Austrian anarchist pacifism during the first half of the twentieth century and situates them within the broader history of the War Resisters’ International. Rath, using gender as an analytical category, highlights how both activists, though united in their rejection of militarism and advocacy of conscientious objection, differed in style, emphasis, and political strategies
Conceptual foundations of anarchitecture and guerrilla urbanism as an alternative to the repressive mode of late capitalist urban planning
No full textGrowing megacities and the vast number of high-rise buildings, the construction of which is driven by the weakening of building regulations dictated by the bourgeois desire for increased profit and resource concentration, prompt reflection on the role of architecture and urban planning in modern globalized society and their repressive potential. It is characteristic that the theme of repressive architecture and urbanism is poorly covered not only in anarchist discourse but also in the scientific community as a whole. This theoreticalshortcoming leads to an insufficient philosophical rethinking of the phenomena of contemporary post-industrial society and, as a consequence, to the fact that these phenomena can and already do cause irreparable harm to society
Why War? Debating Pacifism during the Spanish Civil War: Herbert Read, John Middleton Murry and the ‘Necessity’ of Anarchism
No full textMark Antliff unearths and analyzes the ideological and personal exchanges between Herbert Read (1893–1968) and John Middleton Murry (1889–1957) before and during World War Two (1939-45), situating their debates within the broader development of pacifism and anarchism in Britain. Antliff argues that their debates over means, ends, and the ethics of violence prefigured postwar shifts toward prefigurative, nonviolent resistance within both anarchist and pacifist movements
EU–Ukraine Cross-Border Energy Cooperation: Trends and Directions for Post-War Reconstruction
No full textThis paper is dedicated to exploring the essence of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and the EU countries in the energy sector. The enhancement of such cooperation became possible after Ukraine joined the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, as the border regions gained broader opportunities for reconstructing existing and building new international power lines. This, in turn, creates new opportunities for energy cooperation and accelerates Ukraine\u27s European integration. In the context of Russia\u27s military aggression against Ukraine, the policy vector of cross-border cooperation has shifted towards regional projects in the humanitarian, military, and energy sectors. The present study contains an overview of the Ukrainian energy sector and the cross-border power transmission system, an analysis of the destruction of Ukraine\u27s energy infrastructure, and an assessment of what will be needed for its restoration. This study addresses several European Union countries bordering Ukraine and connected by international power lines: Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia. It would appear that Ukraine and its neighboring EU member states have significant potential for cooperation in the energy sector. Finally, we identify the main venues of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and EU countries in the energy sector.
