Klumme: Viktor Orbán og hans allierede vil ikke vinde EU-valgene
No full textI tidsskriftets klumme punkterer Ivan Krastev det højt be- sungne narrativ om ’det lukkede Europa’ mod ’det åbne.’ Krastev, der selv er hovedforfatter på European Council on Foreign Relations’ seneste rapport What Europeans Really Want, mener, at dikotomien er mere mudret end som så, og at migration er mindre vigtigt for europæerne, end mange synes at tro. I forlængelse heraf gengiver vi Viktor Orbáns tale fra juli måned 2018, hvor han formulerede et nationalistisk program for en ’reform af EU’ i en tale for det ungarske mindretal i Sibiu, Rumænien
Who lost Ukraine? CEPS Commentary, 16 December 2013
No full textIn his penetrating look at who lost Ukraine, Ivan Krastev finds that ultimately, everybody got Ukraine wrong. In his view, outsiders need to understand how high the stakes have recently become in the post-Soviet space, where two opposing integration projects are doomed to clash. He concludes that there are only three options left for Ukraine: sign the agreement with the EU, as the majority of Ukrainians want; join Putin’s EurAsEC, as the endangered political elite prefers; or go bankrupt
The Post-Political Democracy of the Distrustful: Commentary on Essays by Ivan Krastev
No full textIn his essays, collected in In Mistrust We Trust: Can Democracy Survive When We Don’t Trust Our Leaders? and Democracy Disrupted: The Politics of Global Protest, Ivan Krastev questions the state of contemporary democracy. He describes it as ‘post-political’ because while procedures are observed, democratic elections take place, and governments are sometimes replaced, nothing of substance changes in politics and voters lack any sense of having influence or that their votes actually matter. Democracy is obviously in crisis and a variety of solutions to this predicament have been proposed: even more elections more direct democracy, or more transparency. Or perhaps a remedy to the crisis of democracy will stem from protests and from ‘taking to the streets’—these being ‘alternate means’ of doing politics? Krastev criticizes all the above proposals, concluding that none is satisfactory or likely to restore trust in democratic institutions. Perhaps democracy ought not to be superficially improved, but instead rethought from the be ginning? The author points to several questions that should be taken into account in thinking about a new form of democracy. She also considers whether the mass protests of the 2010s were a new phenomenon and involved new ideas for doing politics, or were typical modern social movements, only on a global scale and employing novel instruments of mobilization
Ivan Krastev: Už je zítra? Aneb jak pandemie mění Evropu
No full textJak bude vypadat svět po koronavirové pandemii? A nežijeme v něm již
nějakou dobu? Neučinila pandemie jen zřejmějšími dlouhodobé trendy? Jak
by se měly na ekonomickou krizi v době deglobalizace připravit národní
státy a jak Evropská unie? Ivan Krastev vyvolal na vrcholu koronavirové krize
celosvětový zájem svým článkem o vlivu pandemie na budoucí společenské
změny. Nyní navazuje esejí, ve které zkoumá politické a kulturní důsledky
Covidu-19 jako laboratorního sociálního experimentu. Brilantně a
provokativně analyzuje sociální dopady karanténní dystopie, návrat
vládních intervencí, uzavírání hranic národních států, roli odborníků a
krizového řízení v demokratických a autoritářských státech (big data
government), etické otázky zdravotnických a ekonomických opatření,
mezigenerační a mezinárodní solidaritu. Politologické analýzy a data z
výzkumů historických pandemií kombinuje s příklady literárních zpracování
či filozofických pojednání a ukazuje paradoxy proměněného světa, pro
jehož obyvatele je pandemie základní společnou zkušenost

Nationalism after communism : lessons learned
No full textWhat if a policymaker charged with crafting a peace arrangement in an ethnic conflict situation would ask an academic what practical wisdom can theory of ethnic conflict and nationalism offer in support? Can a bridge be thrown between the world of academia, suffocated with political correctness and driven by the empty intellectual ambition of system-paradigms, and the world of those who have to craft policies of interethnic peace and cooperation with little knowledge of theory, scarce time to order proper research, and limited resources of money to invest? This book tries to analyze in this context what the postcommunist experience of ethnic revival and conflict has in common with other nationalisms and nation-related conflicts of our world, and what, if anything, is special about it; what the best practices are of managing different ethnic conflicts within a state or in neighboring states; and what institutions work and under what circumstances? The introductory chapter includes the only theoretical discussion, sketching briefly the basics recent research on nationalism and ethnic conflict with relevance for policymaking. The next three chapters look at the political economy of ethnic conflicts: Vladimir Gligorov's chapter analyzes the system on incentives which pulled Yugoslavian Republics apart, and the one now in place trying to bring them together again; Charles King looks at the small separatist Republics of the post-Soviet world to understand why some of them were more successful than legitimate Soviet successors in building states and running economies; and Gerald Knause and his collaborators use a case study from Macedonia to highlight the difficulty of two ethnic groups sharing equitably the state and public sector. The primordial-type hypotheses of ethnic social capital and ancient hatreds are tested in the chapter by Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, which analyzes public opinion surveys on nationalism and ethnic cohabitation in Kosovo, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Hungary. A critical analysis of political institutions which try to prevent and then contain ethnic conflict is provided by Valerie Bunce and Philip Roeder on ethnofederalism, from former Yugoslavia to the former Soviet Empire; by Florian Bieber on power-sharing arrangements, and by Mathjis Bogaaards on voting systems, both on the Balkans. The book concludes with a review of policy options by the editors.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

What Europe?:Ideals to Fight for Today
No full textEurope seems beset by the prospect of crisis. And yet its institutions continue to function. The continent remains a zone of economic privilege, a status that exacts other kinds of cost, humanitarian and social. Established political processes continue to operate as usual. At the same time, we witness the rise of protest reactionary and progressive. Our speakers asked what ideals ought to claim the commitment of Europeans today, in a situation combining cynicism and struggle, threat and stability.

Ivan Žuvela Šabo and His Etnographic Record from 1892
No full textU ovom tekstu otkriva se identitet autora jednog starijeg etnografskog zapisa nastalog na otoku Korčuli. Riječ je o rukopisu „Narodne pjesme junačke i žetelačke“ iz 1892., a koji se čuva u Arhivu Odsjeka za etnologiju Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Iako je u tom rukopisu autor potpisan kao „Ivan Žuvela, pravnik“, dosada ga se nije moglo točnije identificirati, iznesena je kriva pretpostavka, a čak se i spekuliralo da je riječ o pseudonimu. Istraživanjem dostupnih izvora i novinskih zapisa ipak se utvrdilo kako je zaista riječ o Velolučaninu Ivanu Žuveli iz grane Šabo, studentu prava koji je umro u svojoj 23-oj godini života, samo godinu dana po nastanku ovog rukopisa. Uz autora, u tekstu se detaljno progovara o rukopisu i njegovom iznimnom značaju za proučavanje nekadašnje svakodnevice, a posebno žetelačkih običaja na zapadnom dijelu otoka Korčule.This text reveals the identity of the hitherto unknown author one of the oldest known ethnographic record from the island of Korčula. The manuscript titled “Narodne pjesme junačke i žetelačke” (Folk Songs of Heroes and Harvesters) dates back to 1892 and is preserved in the Archive of the Ethnology Division at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb. Although the author of the manuscript is signed as “Ivan Žuvela, legal scholar,” his precise identification has remained elusive, with incorrect assumptions and even speculation about a possible pseudonym. Through research of available sources and newspaper records, it has now been conclusively determined that the author is indeed Ivan Žuvela from Vela Luka, a member of the Šabo family, and a law student who passed away at the age of 23, just a year after creating this manuscript. In addition to introducing the author, this text provides a detailed exploration of the manuscript and its exceptional significance for studying the everyday life of the past, particularly the harvesting customs on the western part of the island of Korčula
