This book explores origins, manifestations, and functions of Pan-Slavism in contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, arguing that despite the extinction of Pan-Slavism as an articulated Romantic-era geopolitical ideology, a number of related discourses, metaphors, and emotions have spilled over into the mainstream debates and popular imagination. Using the term Slavophilia to capture the range of representations, the volume analyses how geopolitical discourses shape the identity and policies of a community, providing a comparative analysis that covers a range of Slavic countries in order to understand how Pan-Slavism works and resonates across geographic and political contexts.
This study examines domestic policies in Slovakia from the collapse of communism in 1989 until its EU accession in 2004. It traces policy changes in Slovak healthcare, regional policy, agriculture, and minority protection, and it assesses the capacity of domestic political actors and external agents to shape the policy arrangements and institutional environment in a democratizing state aspiring to join the EU. The study addresses the issues of democratic transition and consolidation in EU candidate states, evaluates the effectiveness and limits of EU conditionality in the respective policy domains, and contributes to current debates on democratization, Europeanization, and policy transfer.

Interslavic zonal constructed language is an auxiliary language, which looks very similar to real spoken Slavic languages in Central and Eastern Europe and continues the tradition of the Old Church Slavonic language.

Non-Slavic people can use Interslavic as the door to the big Slavic world. Zonal constructed langua...

Svet ako celok sa vyvíja natoľko dynamicky a často i chaoticky, že kategorizácia a inventarizácia globálnych problémov sa stávajú stále ťažšími a ich okruh sa značne rozširuje. Časť z týchto problémov nemožno jednoznačne, presne a jasne definovať, vymedziť ich hranice, vzájomnú hierarchizáciu a mnohotvárnosť prepojenia. Väčšina globálnych problémov má bezpochyby základnú ekonomickú dimenziu a bezprostredne ovplyvňuje svetové hospodárstvo. V posledných rokoch sa čoraz častejšie o globálnych problémoch hovorí aj na Slovensku predovšetkým rastom rozdielov ekonomického a sociálneho rozvoja v rámci jednotlivých regiónov. Pojem globalizácia ...
