Droga do zupełnej wolności ; Rozmowa o elekcji, wolności, prawie i obyczajach polskich
No full textDwa traktaty polityczne jednego z najwybitniejszych polskich myślicieli XVI wieku, czerpiącego z dorobku autorów starożytnych, nawiązującego do renesansowych idei zrodzonych we Włoszech, ale przede wszystkim przedstawiającego oryginalne pomysły ustrojowe i polityczne dla republikańskiej Rzeczpospolitej, służące naprawie jej wewnętrznych niedomagań
The neorepublican public philosophy and model of democracy
No full textCelem artykułu jest krótka analiza neorepublikańskiej filozofii państwa w oparciu o dwie propozycje teoretyczne, dwa nieco odmienne stanowiska republikańskie i spór, jaki zarysował się między głoszącymi je autorami: Michaelem Sandelem i Philipem Pettitem. Ukazując zasadnicze różnice między republikanizmem substancjalnym a republikanizmem instrumentalnym i ich rozumieniem polityczności, przywołuję perspektywę arystotelejską, będącą punktem wyjścia klasycznej tradycji republikańskiej, a odrzucaną przez neorepublikanów pokroju Pettita. Przedmiotem rozważań jest z jednej strony problematyczność ujęć neorepublikańskich oraz proponowanych przez nie interpretacji dziedzictwa republikańskiego i jego źródeł, z drugiej zaś pytania o relację dwóch pojęć w dyskursie neorepublikańskim, dawniej zupełnie oddzielonych: republiki i demokracji.This article presents a short analysis of the neorepublican political philosophy and examines two different republican projects: Michael Sandel’s public philosophy and Philip Pettit’s theory of freedom as non-domination and as his model of democracy. While discussing some crucial differences between substantial (Sandel) and instrumental (Pettit) republicanism, the author refers to the Aristotelian perspective as the starting point for the classical republican tradition that has been rejected by neorepublicans such as Pettit. The article focuses on several problematic issues of the neorepublican philosophy including its interpretation of the classical republican tradition, as well as the complex relationship between two terms present in the neorepublican discourse: a republic and a democracy
Activism in Hard Times in Central and Eastern Europe
No full textActivism in Hard Times in Central and Eastern Europe elevates the voices of civic activists from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and analyzes a wealth of information to generate new insights into how activism in the region manages to be vibrant, diverse, and consequential.
Because of these countries’ unique historical trajectory, CEE activists have, in important ways, leap-frogged their counterparts in the West. Giving special attention to activists in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, the book focuses on responses to the recent “hard times” – the shrinking of public space for civil society, democratic backsliding, polarization, and Russia’s war in Ukraine. The contributors contend that CEE activists provide important lessons for others confronting similar challenges around the world.
The book is well-suited for a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, such as comparative politics, human rights, global governance, social movements, Central and East European politics, and contemporary world politics. This timely and readable book, co-created by academics and activists and written in a conversational tone, will also be of interest to the interested public and practitioners. The book encourages readers to think differently about the role of civil society and activism, as well as about how new tools and polarizing dynamics affect activism in this region.

Democratic innovations as a response to shrinking public space
Full text linkThis chapter looks at the phenomenon of shrinking public space for independent civil society groups in the region and innovative responses to it. We focus specifically on Poland and Hungary where governments have taken similar but often ineffective steps to restrict civic mobilization by their critics. The aim of the chapter is to better understand the ways activists have not only survived but have thrived under unfavorable conditions, raising public awareness of issues, and strengthening citizens' engagement and "voice". The two activist stories (from Poland and Hungary) that we present illustrate the adaptability and creativity of civic actors responding to the problem of shrinking public space
