Predložený zborník predstavuje výstup z medzinárodnej konferencie, ktorá niesla názov Jazyk a politika: medzi lingvistikou a politológiou. Organizátorom konferencie boli okrem Fakulty aplikovaných jazykov Ekonomickej univerzity v Bratislave aj Ústav politických vied SAV a Slovenská spoločnosť pre regionálnu politiku pri SAV. Jednalo sa o interdisciplinárnu konferenciu s cieľom preskúmať fenomén politického jazyka očami odborníkov z viacerých vedeckých disciplín. Nielen lingvistiky a politológie, ale rovnako sociológov, ekonómov, ako aj odborníkov na interkultúrnu a masmediálnu komunikáciu. Politický jazyk je totiž spoločným objektom výskumu viacerých humanitných a spoločenských disciplín.

Translocal Care across Kosovo’s Borders

In today’s globalized world, where the foundations of home and social security are destabilized due to wars and neoliberal transformations, the villagers of Kosovo are linked with a common locality despite living across borders. By tracing long-distant family relations with a special focus on cross-border marriages, this study looks at the reconfiguration of care relations, gender and generational roles among kin-members of Kosovo, who now live in different European states.

Petition Writing and Negotiations of Colonialism in Igboland, 1892–1960

Though many historians of colonial Africa are familiar with petitions preserved in archives, few have looked at what this genre of letter writing tells us about broader colonial society. In a rigorously researched and compelling narrative, Petition Writing and Negotiations of Colonialism in Igboland, 1892–1960: African Voices in Ink fills this gap through the exploration of petitions written by Igbo petitioners in southeastern Nigeria to British officials which shows how these Igbo individuals influenced colonial decision-making. In challenging colonial authority through petition writing, Igbo petitioners used language of rights and justice to navigate the colonial system. Utilizing a larg...

Peace Lost: The Failure of Conflict Prevention in Kosovo

This book traces the failure of international action in Kosovo from the late 1980s until NATO intervention in 1999, and endeavours to explain why, during that time, so many opportunities for making peace were squandered. Applying methodology developed by the EU Conflict Prevention Network, it divides the conflict into four main phases and examines how, at each, chances for settlement were either lost or overlooked. It considers policy alternatives available at the time, and hypothesises reasons why these were ultimately discarded. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including the author’s own experience of the negotiations process, this book presents a hitherto unexplored thesis of the Kosovo conflict, that of a ‘lag’ in international action in relation to the situation on the ground, and seeks to draw from these failures some central lessons for the future of conflict prevention.

Exploitation and Misrule in Colonial and Postcolonial Africa

  • Publisher: Springer

This book offers new perspectives on the history of exploitation in Africa by examining postcolonial misrule as a product of colonial exploitation. Political independence has not produced inclusive institutions, economic growth, or social stability for most Africans—it has merely transferred the benefits of exploitation from colonial Europe to a tiny African elite. Contributors investigate representations of colonial and postcolonial exploitation in literature and rhetoric, covering works from African writers such as Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Kwame Nkrumah, and Bessie Head. It then moves to case studies, drawing lines between colonial subjugation and present-day challenges through essays on Mobutu’s Zaire, Nigerian politics, the Italian colonial fascist system, and more. Together, these essays look towards how African states may transform their institutions and rupture lingering colonial legacies.
