Belarus

This book is the first in English to explore both Belarus's complicated road to nationhood and to examine in detail its politics and economics since 1991, the nation's first year of true independence. Andrew Wilson focuses particular attention on Aliaksandr Lukashenka's surprising longevity as president, despite human rights abuses and involvement in yet another rigged election in December 2010.Wilson looks at Belarusian history as a series of false starts in the medieval and pre-modern periods, and at the many rival versions of Belarusian identity, culminating with the Soviet Belarusian project and the establishment of Belarus's current borders during World War II. He also addresses Belarus's on-off relationship with Russia, its simultaneous attempts to play a game of balance in the no-man's-land between Russia and the West, and how, paradoxically, Belarus is at last becoming a true nation under the rule of Europe's "last dictator."

This book provides a multinational history of German reunification based on empirical work by leading scholars. The reunification of Germany in 1989-90 was one of the most unexpected and momentous events of the twentieth century. Embedded within the wider process of the end of the Cold War, it contributed decisively to the dramatic changes that followed: the end of the division of Europe, the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the origins of NATO’s eastward expansion and, not least, the creation of the European Union. Based on the wealth of evidence that has become available from many countries involved, and relying on the most recent historiography, this collection takes into account the comple...

"Cztery prezydentury, osiem kadencji parlamentu. Wydarzenia rozciągające się od rozmów Okrągłego Stołu, aż do katastrofy smoleńskiej i drugiej kadencji Donalda Tuska. Historia polityczna Polski 1989–2012 to najbardziej aktualny i fachowy bilans dziejów III Rzeczpospolitej. Antoni Dudek – jeden z najlepszych polskich historyków i politologów – podejmuje rzetelną próbę ukazania współczesnej sytuacji politycznej. Śledzi losy liderów partyjnych i kierowanych przez nich ugrupowań. Rzuca światło na działania poszczególnych rządów oraz kontrowersje otaczające kolejne prezydentury: Lecha Wałęsy, Aleksandra Kwaśniewskiego, Lecha Kaczyńskiego i Bronisława Komorowskiego. Przypomina najważniejsze konflikty ostatniego dwudziestolecia i mierzy się z najbardziej aktualnymi problemami. Pisze przystępnie i rzetelnie. Przede wszystkim zaś stara się uczciwie szukać prawdy."

英國脫歐與歐洲轉型

2016年6月,英國舉行全民脫歐公投,得到了超過半數民眾的支援,這一公投結果無疑給英國乃至歐洲政治發展帶來了巨大挑戰。一方面,作為英國所謂選舉民主的成果,雖然在短期內緩解和轉移了英國社會的某些矛盾,但必將給英國政治經濟和內政外交產生深刻影響,另一方面,脫歐公投也激化了英國國內新的社會分化和政治競爭,加重了歐洲一體化深化的困境。不僅如此,英國脫歐還開創了民族國家退出區域合作聯盟的先例,它所折射的歐洲社會反一體化和保護主義、民粹主義、國家主義的抬頭,不僅將對歐洲國家治理和...

Through case studies that examine historical and contemporary crises across the world, the contributing writers to this volume explore the cultural and social construction of trauma. How do some events get coded as traumatic and others which seem equally painful and dramatic not? Why do culpable groups often escape being categorised as perpetrators? These are just some of the important questions answered in this collection. Some of the cases analysed include Mao's China, the Holocaust, the Katyn Massacre and the Kosovo trauma. Expanding the pioneering cultural approach to trauma, this book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students of sociology.

"W młodości zwiedziła autostopem prawie całą Europę. Z ojcem, Jackiem Woźniakowskim, o rzeczach ważnych rozmawiała najczęściej przy kuchennym stole. Angielskiego nauczyła się, kelnerując w małym pensjonacie w Sussex. Z Józefem Czapskim obmyślała kradzież najpiękniejszych obrazów z Luwru. Nepal urzekł ją tak, że na kilka lat zamieszkała z rodziną w Katmandu. Za sprawą kartki papieru zmieniła polską historię. Została jednym z najbardziej wpływowych europejskich polityków, pozostając sobą. „Róża przełamuje stereotypy, udowadnia, że tradycyjnie pojmowana rola kobiety może iść w parze z zaangażowaniem zawodowym i społecznym.

Deutschland und Frankreich in der europäischen Union

Mit den jüngsten Krisen der weltweiten Finanz- und Realwirtschaft haben sich die Erfahrungs- und Handlungsräume der Europäischen Union gewaltig verändert. Sie ist im Begriff, ihre Rolle unter den Weltregionen neu auszumessen, und dabei in ihrem Zusammenhalt und ihrer Funktionsfähigkeit neuartigen Belastungen ausgesetzt. Das gilt auch für ihre traditionellen Führungsmächte Deutschland und Frankreich. Aus den historischen Erfahrungen haben Politiker der beiden "Nachbarn am Rhein" nach dem Grauen des Zweiten Weltkrieges die Folgerung gezogen, einen neuen Konflikt durch Aussöhnung und enge Zusammenarbeit im Rahmen der europäischen Einigung unmöglich zu machen. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Sammelbandes, sämtlich verfasst von renommierten, dem Thema seit vielen Jahren verpflichteten Experten, untersuchen diese Sonderbeziehung in der EU.

Handbook of Adolescent Health Risk Behavior

Adolescence is a developmental period of accelerating physical, psychological, social! cultural, and cognitive development, often characterized by confronting and surmounting a myriad of challenges and establishing a sense of self-identity and autonomy. It is also, unfortunately, a period fraught with many threats to the health and well-being of adoles cents and with substantial consequent impairment and disability. Many of the adverse health consequences experienced by adolescents are, to a large extent, the result of their risk behaviors. Many adolescents today, and perhaps an increasing number in the future, are at risk for death, disease, and other adverse health outcomes that are not primarily biomedical in origin. In general, there has been a marked change in the causes of morbidity and mortality among adolescents. Previously, infectious diseases accounted for a dispro portionate share of adolescent morbidity and mortality. At present, however, the over whelming toll of adolescent morbidity and mortality is the result of lifestyle practices.
