  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

    Krakowskie Studia z Historii Państwa i Prawa 2012; 5 (1), s. 41–49 doi: 10.4467/20844131KS.12.006.0907 MAREK STARÝ (The University of Finance and Administration in Prague) Political and administrative system of Waldstein’s Lands Abstract The aim of this paper is to identify and describe basic mutual and different political and administrative characteristics of the lands under the rule of imperial generalissimo Albrecht of Waldstein. This man of Europian importance created in the twenties of the 17th century the Duchy of Frýdlant in north-eastern part of Bohemian Kingdom, moreover he became the ruler of German Duchy of Mecklenburg, as well as Emperor’s vassal in two Silesian Principalities, Sagan (1627) and Glogow (1632). It is quite interest- ing to learn about his arrangements in individual domains and to see, how some general principles of his reign were combined with specifi c steps proceeded from older particular traditions. It also shows undoubtedly, that Waldstein was really brilliant organiser, administrator and lawgiver who deserves intensive attention of legal history. Key words: Albrecht of Waldstein (Wallenstein), Thirty Years War, history of administration, Silesia, Bohemian Kingdom, reign on the absolutistic foundations, Duchy of Friedland, Duchy of Glogow, Principality of Sagan Słowa klucze: Albrecht von Waldstein (Wallenstein), wojna trzydziestoletnia, historia administracji, Śląsk, Królestwo Czeskie, rządy absolutne, Księstwo Frydlandu, Księstwo Głogowskie, Księstwo Żagańskie Imperial generalissimo Albrecht of Waldstein (or Wallenstein) († 1634) is undoubt- edly among the most signifi cant fi gures of Czech history. His importance defi nitely goes beyond the nation’s borders. Since the 19th century, he has even been considered to be a great national fi gure by the Germans, thanks to Schiller’s well-known drama.1 Waldstein played a considerable role in the history of Poland, both as a co-creator of European politics and as a military leader, whose activities during the Thirty Years’ War had infl uenced the Polish Respublica.

  • The Legal Concept of International Boundary
    JKAU: Econ. & Adm., Vol. 9, pp. 29-66 (1416 A.H./1996 A.D.) The Legal Concept of International Boundary OMAR ABUBAKAR BAKHASHAB Department of Law Faculty of Economics and Administration, King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT. This paper considers the subject of international boundaries which by a process involving many forces has come to have a very important position in international law. The mathematical precision of boundaries is a special characteristic of higher civilization, the progress of geodesy and cartography have permitted the making in Europe of political boundaries as well as geographical abstraction. Since the end of the Second World War several new independent states have emerged, particularly in Asia and Africa. as a result of which many for many internal boundaries have become international boundaries. This phenomenon, therefore, has enlarged the area in which boundary controversies may possible occur and such conflicts at present constitute one of the major threats to international peace and security. There has been considerable progress in the methods of boundary making. A whole range of new scientific equipment has been devised. Aerial surveys nowadays supplements Conventional field-triangulations with the result that most of the familiar errors and inaccuracies which characterized earlier boundary works have become increasingly rare. But these advances are not alone sufficient to eliminate all the possible causes of boundary disputes. However, international boundaries affect the lives of people and should be more adapted to human convenience. In conformity with the UN Charter and in order to achieve the kind of stability and finality in international boundary disputes must be settled peacefully.

  • The Family of Man in the 21St Century: Reassessing an Epochal Exhibition
    Alfred Eisenstaedt, Time & Life © Getty Images The Family of Man in the 21st Century: Reassessing an Epochal Exhibition International Conference June 19 – June 20, 2015 Clervaux Castle, Clervaux, Luxembourg With more than ten million viewers across the globe and more than five million copies of its catalogue sold, "The Family of Man" is one of the most successful, influential, and written about photography exhibitions of all time. It introduced the art of photography to the general public, one critic noted, "like no other photographic event had ever done." At the same time, the meanings and impact of "The Family of Man" remain highly contested among historians and critics of photography to this day. First presented in 1955 to a record audience at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the travelling exhibition is now on permanent display as a UNESCO Memory of the World document at the CNA exhibition site in Clervaux Castle in Clervaux, Luxembourg - the native country of the show's inventor and curator, the Luxembourg-American photographer, painter, and exhibition designer Edward Steichen. 2 The conference wants to reassess and discuss the exhibition’s appeal and message, launched against the backdrop of Cold War threat of atomic annihilation. It also wants to indicate new ways in which the exhibition, as an artistic response to a historical moment of crisis, can remain relevant in the context of 21st-century challenges. For the first time in Steichen criticism, the scholars at this interdisciplinary conference will discuss a 1958 essay on "The Family of Man" by the Frankfurt philosopher Max Horkheimer.
