Roman Fort at Cape Aj-Todor (Charax) and its Surroundings. A New Look at Old Discoveries
No full textDespite many years of research at the site, the
Roman fort at Cape Aj-Todor near Yalta remains relatively
poorly studied. A better understanding of the
discoveries made at the site can be reached by comparing
them with the results of the excavations conducted
in another fort also located in Crimea – at Balaklava-
Kadykovka. This text is an attempt at gathering together
all the published information about the discoveries made at Cape Aj-Todor. The comparison of the research results
from both sites has enabled establishing numerous similarities
between them. Both forts functioned simultaneously,
and their architectural remains can be qualified to
identically dated phases. The final effect of the analysis
undertaken by the author is a more complete plan of the
fort at Cape Aj-Todor along with its surroundings, processed
in a new graphic formula.Oskar Kubra
Willing to pay to save the planet? Evaluating support for increased spending on sustainable development and environmentally friendly policies in five countries
No full textWhile the 2016 Paris Agreement is in many ways an important attainment with the potential to represent a milestone in humanity’s path towards sustainable development, and avoid thus a potential calamitous and destructive future, the achievement of the goals set in the agreement is a long way off. This paper investigates one of the most important worldwide hurdles frustrating the implementation of the policies required to limit environmental degradation and limit pollution, namely the still insufficient public support for the necessary environmental policies and their associated cost. Using a comparative database generated through an experimental study on tax compliance and policy preferences run in five countries (USA, UK, Italy, Sweden and Romania), I will evaluate five explanatory models of the degree to which people support environmentally friendly policies by accepting higher tax burdens and increased collective solidarity.</div
Poetic and essayistic work of Todor Manojlović; Поэтические и эссеистические произведения Тодор Манойловича
No full textУ овом раду aнализиране су песничке збирке Тодора Манојловића (Ритмови (1922),
Ватромети и Бајка о Актеону (1928) и Песме мога двојника (1958)), постхумно објављене
књиге есеја (Основе и развој модерне поезије и Нови књижевни сајам), као и његове
многобројне ликовне критике. Песничко и есејистичко дело Тодора Манојловића настало
је на темељу комуникације с најинтересантнијим европским културним покретима и
филозофским системима на прелазу из XIX у XX век. У раду је осветљен допринос Тодора
Манојловића обнови модерне српске поезије, која се углавном везује за крфски Забавник –
књижевни додатак Српских новина (1917-1918). Учешћем у раду Групе уметника и
књижевне литерарне заједнице – Alpha – Манојловић је и после Првог светског рата
активно учествовао у покретању књижевног и уметничког живота у Београду. Залагао се
за аутономију песничког стварања и увођење слободног стиха (vers libre). Бранио је
уметниково право на надахнуће које је схватао као укрштај разума и интуиције. У духу
експресионизма песништву је приписивао космичке димензије, а у поезији трагао за
бесконачним. Враћајући се миту Тодор Манојловић је деперсонализовао свој лирски израз
и удаљио се од конкретног предмета певања. Кључна одредница његове поетике јесте
аутореференцијалност и тежња ка универзализацији лирског израза...In this review, the author analyzes poetic collections of Todor Manojlovic, (The Rhythms
1922), Bonfires and The Tale of Actaeon (1928) and The Poems of My Counterpart (1958)), as
well as his posthumous collections of essays (The Basics and the Development of Contemporary
Poetry and The New Poetry Book Fair ) and his numerous art critiques. Poetic and essayistic
work of Todor Manojlovic evolves from his communication with most interesting European
cultural movements and philosophical systems at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries. The
review enlights Todor Manojlovic’s contribution to the revival of contemporary Serbian poetry
that is mainly brought into connection with the Corfu Almanac – a literary addition to the
Serbian Papers (1917-1918). Having taken part in the work of the Group of Artists and Literary
Community – Alpha – Manojlovic actively participated in the organization and introduction of
literary and artistic life in Belgrade after the First World War. He advocated for autonomy of
poetic creation and introduction of free verse (vers libre). He also advocated for a poet’s right to
inspiration which he considered to be a mixture of sense and intuition. In the spirit of
Expressionism, he ascribed cosmic dimensions to poetry, and sought infinity in it. Reverting to
the myth Todor Manojlovic depersonalized his poetic expression and departed from the poetic
subject itself. The key determinant of his poetry is autoreference as well as his tendency to
universalize poetic expression..

Decentralization and state capacity pathways for state in reform in post-communist societies
No full textROMANIA’S SOCIAL PROTECTION PROGRAMS REFORM DURING THE ECONOMIC CRISIS
No full textThe post 2007 economic crisis significantly affected EU’s states public finances
and triggered various fiscal adjustments processes. Inevitably, policies related to
social protection benefits were scrutinized and more or less radical reforms were
enacted in most states. This article assesses the evolution of spending on various
social protection programs in Romania in a comparative perspective. Using data
from Eurostat, the effects of Romania’s 2011 austerity program are compared
with evolutions in the other EU member states. The article also compares the
observed modification in comparison with the aims set by the Cabinet through its
Social Assistance Reform Strategy. The article also tests whether the intensity
of adjustment programs are connected with the intensity of the economic crisis
A quantitative approach on the diffusion of neoliberal tax policies un the post communist new-EU member states
No full textWithin this paper I employ the OLS PCSE analysis to investigate the relationships between the CIT (Corporate Income Tax) and various potential independent variables testing for competing theories within the 10 post communist New EU Member States. Reforms in the area of CIT reforms, events were triggered immediately after the fall of the communist regimes. I test the degree to which four theories of policy diffusion explain the observed patterns. The OLS PCSE analysis reveals that while FDI represented an important variable in triggering CIT cuts, its directionality does not confirm the competitive diffusion theory
Analyzing the positioning of political competitors on relevant policy conflict dimensions within the 2014 EU Europarliamentary elections
No full textIn this paper I analyze the positioning of Romanian political competitor for the European elections 2014 on most relevant dimensions of political conflict relevant to all European Union member countries. I analyze the political programs of the Romanian political parties realized within the euandi project. Even though not all dimensions are considered relevant in the context of political debate in Romania, the mapping provides a detailed picture of the current positioning of the main political competitors in the context of breaking USL and the creation of a new coalition government
