Empire De/Centered
In 1991 the Soviet empire collapsed, at a stroke throwing the certainties of the Cold War world into flux. Yet despite the dramatic end of this 'last empire', the idea of empire is still alive and well, its language and concepts feeding into public debate and academic research. Bringing together a multidisciplinary and international group of authors to study Soviet society and culture through the categories empire and space, this collection demonstrates the enduring legacy of empire with regard to Russia, whose history has been marked by a particularly close and ambiguous relationship between nation and empire building, and between national and imperial identities. Parallel with this discuss...

Podwórkowe przestrzenie i miejsca zabaw. Studium pedagogiczno-kulturowe
Poruszana problematyka nawiązuje – z jednej strony – do zmian w postrzeganiu dziecka i zabawy przez nowoczesne społeczeństwa, natomiast z drugiej – wymaga rozpoznania metodologicznych rozwiązań wykorzystywanych w społeczno-kulturowych badaniach nad dzieckiem i dzieciństwem. Proponowane podejście badawcze zostało osadzone w wieloparadygmatycznej rzeczywistości nauk społecznych zorientowanych humanistycznie, która łączy perspektywę etnograficzną z krytyczną i w ten sposób umożliwia namysł nad badanym fragmentem dziecięcej codzienności i kulturowymi praktykami jej kształtowania z uwzględnieniem różnych perspektyw. Celem badań było udzielenie głosu dzieciom w debacie podejmującej wątki bezpośrednio z nimi związane. Okazuje się, że chociaż tematyka kształtowania przestrzeni zabaw bezpośrednio dotyczy dzieci, to kluczowe rozstrzygnięcia z nią związane najczęściej zależą od dorosłych.
A Fair Deal on Talent - Fostering Just Migration Governance
If well managed, migration generates benefits for migrants, their countries of origin and the countries they settle in. For migrants, it can help them expand their skill sets and improve their standard of living. For destination countries, it can alleviate demographic pressures and foster cultural diversity. For origin countries, it can bring benefits associated with remittances and knowledge transfers. However, in reality, these benefits are rarely achieved, as migration policy failures frequently lead to suboptimal or even negative outcomes. Realizing the full potential of migration therefore demands we foster a paradigm shift toward the fair management of migration. Fair migration is driv...
Culture Matters
Entrepreneurship is often cited as the single most important factor in economic development. Although this contention is limited mostly to the realm of private business activities, entrepreneurship is also present in governmental organizations. Public entrepreneurs, like their private counterparts, are agents of change. This study hypothesizes that although public entrepreneurship requires availability of capital and presence of educated public and administrators, to be effective it demands also cultural values of 'individualism', 'need for achievement', and 'need for certainty'. Or, in other words, that culture and history matter. The hypothesis is tested in four historically and culturally...
