Book Synopsis Geopolitical Processes and Ethnodemographic Changes in Serbia by : Radu Ki Nada
Download or read book Geopolitical Processes and Ethnodemographic Changes in Serbia written by Radu Ki Nada and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The national question, interethnic relations and ethnodemographic development of population were brought into focus of interest of scientific as well as the general public in the late 20th and early 21st century. The changes in ethnic structure determined by demographic, political, historical, geographical and numerous other factors are delicate questions and have crucial significance for the stability and development of Serbia. In that period (1991-2011) relevant changes happened in the ethnic structure of Serbia were primarily conditioned by differentiated natural growth per nationalities, migrations, as well as by changed declaration on national affiliation. At the same time, ethnocentric migrations (voluntary and forced) primarily influenced on the change of ethnic picture of Serbia in the sense of creating nationally more homogeneous state. But, it would be difficult to foresee the changes which will take place in the next period, mainly because of the open issues to do with the direction and scale of future migrations, stability of the national declaration and the general socio-economic and political climate in the country.
Book Synopsis Cultural Encounters with the Environment by : Viola Haarmann
Download or read book Cultural Encounters with the Environment written by Viola Haarmann and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cultural Encounters with the Environment, a distinguished group of contributors offers a fresh and original view of contemporary geography. The authors explore the role of four traditional themes in the Onew cultural geographyO: the interplay between the evolution of particular biophysical niches and the activities of the culture groups that inhabit them; the diffusion of cultural traits; the establishment and definition of culture areas; and the distinctive mix of geographical characteristics that gives places their special character in relation to one another. By examining how cultural space is constructed; how environment is remade, understood, and imaged as a consequence; and how people lay claim to place, this volume establishes a compelling case for the importance of these enduring concepts to present and future trajectories in cultural geography.

Book Synopsis Humans in the Siberian Landscapes by : Vladimir N. Bocharnikov
Download or read book Humans in the Siberian Landscapes written by Vladimir N. Bocharnikov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-25 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers theoretical issues of the ethnocultural landscape concepts at large as well as examples of its practical application in ethnic communities of Siberia. It reveals the patterns of the processes of penetration, settlement, development and adaptation of Siberian populations from Paleolithic time to Russian colonization in the era of the Russian Empire, during Soviet modernization and in the face of modern challenges. The authors consider the principal interactions (character, stages, conditions), system-related evidence and phenomena that determine the diverse specifics and multidirectional vectors of a change in the ethnic (social, cultural, economic, legal) presence in large subregions of Siberia in the mirror of various theoretical paradigms. This transdisciplinary volume appeals to researchers, lecturers and students in the fields of geography, history, philosophy, anthropology, ecology, archaeology and interfaces to many other disciplines.

Book Synopsis Constructing Grievance by : Elise Giuliano
Download or read book Constructing Grievance written by Elise Giuliano and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demands for national independence among ethnic minorities around the world suggest the power of nationalism. Contemporary nationalist movements can quickly attract fervent followings, but they can just as rapidly lose support. In Constructing Grievance, Elise Giuliano asks why people with ethnic identities throw their support behind nationalism in some cases but remain quiescent in others. Popular support for nationalism, Giuliano contends, is often fleeting. It develops as part of the process of political mobilization—a process that itself transforms the meaning of ethnic identity. She compares sixteen ethnic republics of the Russian Federation, where nationalist mobilization varied widely during the early 1990s despite a common Soviet inheritance. Drawing on field research in the republic of Tatarstan, socioeconomic statistical data, and a comparative discourse analysis of local newspapers, Giuliano argues that people respond to nationalist leaders after developing a group grievance. Ethnic grievances, however, are not simply present or absent among a given population based on societal conditions. Instead, they develop out of the interaction between people’s lived experiences and the specific messages that nationalist entrepreneurs put forward concerning ethnic group disadvantage. In Russia, Giuliano shows, ethnic grievances developed rapidly in certain republics in the late Soviet era when messages articulated by nationalist leaders about ethnic inequality in local labor markets resonated with people’s experience of growing job insecurity in a contracting economy. In other republics, however, where nationalist leaders focused on articulating other issues, such as cultural and language problems facing the ethnic group, group grievances failed to develop, and popular support for nationalism stalled. People with ethnic identities, Giuliano concludes, do not form political interest groups primed to support ethnic politicians and movements for national secession.
Book Synopsis Scholars' Guide to Humanities and Social Sciences in the Soviet Union and the Baltic States by : Tigran Martirosyan
Download or read book Scholars' Guide to Humanities and Social Sciences in the Soviet Union and the Baltic States written by Tigran Martirosyan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the first edition of the "Guide" was published, the research institutions of the academies of sciences of the USSR and the republics have undergone several, sometimes radical, reorganizations and reaffiliations. This guide to academy institutions supplies names, addresses, and historical, research, and organizational profiles for each institution, with summary information on staffing, current projects, special facilities, and libraries. The end of the Cold War has brought with it many changes of attitude and policy in the political arena; however, nowhere has change been so emotionally charged as in the area of politically-based emigration. Refugee policy is the driving force behind many of today's headlines, influencing both foreign and domestic policy. In Desperate Crossings, authors Norman L. and Naomi Flink Zucker chronicle and analyze the phenomenon of mass escape that began with the Haitians, but exploded into the American consciousness in the spring of 1980 with the Mariel boatlift and the subsequent mass exodus from Central America, and was most recently manifested in the Haitian and Cuban exoduses of 1994. In a compelling and carefully documented narrative, they identify the troika of interests - foreign policy, domestic pressures, and costs - that have controlled and determined the American response to refugees since before the Second World War, continuing until today. Desperate Crossings concludes by proposing a comprehensive and politically palatable approach to future refugee flows, both in our hemisphere and for the world community-at-large - including Europe and Asia. The authors suggest how, by changing the course of its refugee policies and programs, the United States can better respond to both the needs of refugees and the demands of its citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the USSR's collapse, more than 25 million Russians found themselves living outside Russian territory, their status ambiguous.

This volume, prepared under the sponsorship of the Kennan Institute, offers a comprehensive and amply documented examination of these issues.

Book Synopsis The State in Socialist Society by : Neil Harding
Download or read book The State in Socialist Society written by Neil Harding and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of all the essays in this collection is the problem of state power in Communist regimes. The problematic nature of the relationship between state and society has troubled the marxist tradition since its inception and continues to be an unresolved issue for its contemporary theorists. Western attempts to characterise the state formations of Communist regimes are equally notoriously debatable and fraught with methodological problems. Both indigenous and Western attempts to theorise these formations are thoroughly reviewed in the early chapters of this book. Later chapters, each written by an expert in the field, go on to explore particular issues (the problem of nationalism within a multi-national state, for instance) or the recent experience of selected Communist regimes in attempting to adapt their institutions to meet new problems. Special attention is paid to the USSR in view of the enormous significance of the Soviet State and the extent to which it has served as a model. Other case studies have been included on the basis that these state formations display unique features (Yugoslavia), that size and importance commends them (China), or that failure in the process of institutional adaptation is instructive for their pathology (Poland). What this book sets out to do is to bring a variety of approaches and a varied expertise to bear upon a very large but relatively neglected issue in contemporary politics--the nature of the state formations of Communist regimes.
Book Synopsis Soviet Population Policy by : Helen Desfosses
Download or read book Soviet Population Policy written by Helen Desfosses and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soviet Population Policy: Conflicts and Constraints focuses on the study of population policy in the USSR. The text looks at the problems identified with population, including migration, depopulation of rural areas, and rapid urbanization. The book starts by outlining the development of Soviet census, considering its purposes and methods involved. The text then proceeds by giving information on population dynamics in which the issue of population is seen as inseparable from political, economic, and social concerns. One of the issues discussed is how military manpower can be affected by the problem on population. Another feature of the book is the sector of aging citizens in which it is identified that the country has experienced an increase in the number of pensioners. In this context, a comparison of the retirement systems of the United States and Russia is presented. The book also looks at the relationship of fertility and female work status in the country. The text goes further by discussing the pro-natalist policies of the country in which the reduction in the psychological and material costs of having children is noted. A discussion on the four models used by demographers to emphasize the issues affecting the population is also presented. The book notes that the country’s position on population is rooted in Marxism. Readers who are interested in establishing the relationship of population with other social concerns of a country can find this book worth considering.
