W drugiej połowie lat osiemdziesiątych poszczególne republiki Socjalistycznej Federacyjnej Republiki Jugosłwii coraz bardziej zdecydowanie dążyły do utworzenia samodzielnych państw narodowych. Ponieważ idealistycznie zakładano zjednoczenie narodu w ramach jednego państwa, a duży odsetek Serbów zamieszkiwał obszary poza Republiką Serbską, utworzenie państwa serbskiego łączyłoby się albo ze znacznym okrojeniem terytoriów innych republik, albo z utrzymaniem państwa jugosłowiańskiego. Stało się to przyczyną konfliktów, które wybuchły na początku lat dziewięćdziesiątych, kiedy nastąpił faktyczny rozpad państwa jugosłowiańskiego. Slobodan Milošević, który...
Post-communism has determined the social and political reality in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe for the last 25 years. A characteristic phenomenon during this time is a religious revival in the societies that were subject to intense atheization under the conditions of communist totalitarianism. This process can be observed in Ukraine, Belarus and Serbia. Undoubtedly, in all three cases, the Orthodox faith and the institutions that represent it have become an important element of the political culture. This book analyses the influence of Orthodoxy on political behaviours, values and judgments, looking particularly at such topics as the legacy of communism, shared attitudes towards the “West,” the European Union, democracy, and the ways of conceptualising post-communist Ukrainian, Belarussian and Serbian cultural and national identity. The research here explores such events and problems as the “Euromaidan” and the development of a civic society in Ukraine, the process of integration of Serbia into the EU, the perspectives of stability for the regime in Belarus, and the future of efforts for reintegration of post-Soviet space under the hegemony of Moscow.

It collects 20 political analyses of direct democracy in 20 Central and Eastern European countries after 1989.

Grdzelidze’s study evaluates the present state of ecclesiology in the Orthodox Church, focusing on the history of autocephaly and its relationship with the rise of religious nationalism. To date, the Orthodox Church has not sufficiently addressed the pressing problem of religious nationalism. Tamara Grdzelidze’s Ecclesial Boundaries and National Identity in the Orthodox Church fills this lacuna, offering a solution to the ecclesiological problems posed by the rise of group-related sentiment in Orthodox communities. Grdzelidze’s monograph begins with an examination of the history of autocephaly and synodality in the Orthodox Church. As she explains, the political autonomy of local churc...
