For us, clustered around the European Perspectives journal, it also means the anniversary spring. Namely, this issue is the 10th in a row. One could dare to say that we are a strong community of not only the editorial board members, team and reviewers, but above all of the contributors and readers. It is our humble opinion that during that period we have fulfi lled our mission and the expectation of the publisher. Still, our ambition does not stop here. We started in the autumn of 2009 with the fi rst issue, which was at the same time also the special one, dedicated to the 20th anniver- sary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Two special issues followed. One about Turkey in autumn of 2011, with which we tried to point out the necessity of reviving the negotiation process between the EU and its biggest candidate country so far. In the summer of 2013 we released the third special issue, in that case dedicated to the young genera- tion. We are glad to be the frontrunner among those who focused on one of the most important, acute and frustrated topics of the current international politics. All in all, we published 57 articles in the journal’s main section, and in addition to this nine of them in the Sarajevo 2014 section. Th is makes a substantial volume of 65 peer reviewed contributions from various fi elds, like politics and policy, security, the EU aff airs, diplomacy, economy, history, minority questions, cross-border cooperation, even linguistic, to name only the most visible ones. We presented nineteen book reviews from similar areas, all of them pointing out works that help to understand the broader region, its complexity and interconnectedness. Th e Croquis section has brought nine policy–ethno refreshments to otherwise dry scientifi c contemplations. Th ere was the same number of contributions from distinguished guests, who expressed their views as a credo for the region’s future. All of them are listed in a special section at the end of this issue. Consequently, one could say that the journal is an opinion showing venue and possibility, not only because of the fact that the majority of contributors come from the region. We are particularly glad to off er an opportunity to those, who are beginning with their search for a place in the academic community. Th at is, at the end of the day, our contribution: to focus on the region and its potentials, and to try to promote promising authors from the very region. 3 Th at much about the past endeavours. Th e current issue begins with a special section, devoted to the active citizenship and brings four articles, in addition to the four ones, discussing the EU related topics (citizen’s perception, visa liberalization and communication strategies) as well as security cooperation model for the region. Th e current Guest View discusses the role of think tanks and focuses in particular on one increasing aspect of their work: delivering awards. Why do they do this, what is their aim and fulfi llment. Th e Turkish TASAM shows the example. Th is time the Croquis refl ects a person that stood out in a hot late June day in Sarajevo a hundred years ago. It was Gavrilo Princip, a young activist, who pulled the trigger that by a chain of events later led to the unimaginable confrontation of great powers. Th e World War I or the Great War is a break even point in the history of mankind and its message should be universally understandable and acceptable, although political reality teaches us it is not just like that. Sarajevo 2014 section therefore remains not a single remembrance of the historical avalanche, but is for us also a memento that spans over its concrete reasoning. Th is means that the section will remain as a corner element of the journal’s structure. As a recollection of mind, the present author discusses fi ve classical novels from the region and searches for diplomatic elements in their narrative. Innovative and challenging. Th is year is rich with anniversaries, reaching back not only to the already mentioned beginning of the WWI, but also even twice as much backwards to the famous Congress of Vienna, which de facto started in November 1814. Too much of history for one year only. So let’s better stick to this jubilee issue. Wishing you, as usual, but this time even more fruitful and critically coloured reading. Th anks for being with us and hope to see you again in the autumn of 2014. Th e Castle of Jable, April 2014 M. J. 4 guest view The Role of Think Tanks in a Transformed World Süleyman Şensoy 5 6 European Perspectives – Journal on European Perspectives of the Western Balkans Vol. 6 No. 1(10), pp 07 - 12, April 2014 The Role of Think Tanks in a Transformed World Süleyman Şensoy1 Th e 21st Century is witnessing major changes and transformations with walls crumbling and paradigms shift ing. Th is transformation is, of course, of utmost relevance to countries and communities. Undoubtedly, the majority of the think tank organizations in developed and developing countries and especially in new regional/global power candidate countries have continued their work with the cooperation/ social responsibility of public institutes, private institutes, universities and media. Th e capacity of institutional think and network which rise with the eff orts of think tanks, provides related country’s public administration, civil society and private sector to be in boundless innovation. Turkey is a country that has achieved signifi cant progress in democrati- zation and accomplished enduring success in the areas of human rights and personal freedoms in the 21st century. Furthermore, the prevention of numerous attempts to establish a political tutelage and the implementation of major reforms in the political sphere, the economy, social life, etc. puts Turkey in an exemplary position. Looking at it from this perspective, there is a signifi cant accumulation of ‘Turkish Experience’. The Turkish Asian Center for Strategic Studies – TASAM Th e Center, which has been operating in the institutional body of an NGO, as a private and independent think tank for ten years, has become an international brand with its activities and the capacity it has built by deeply penetrating the areas it aff ects. TASAM has taken it upon itself, since the beginning, to impartially and scientifi cally carry forward and share the values of Turkey’s historical and cultural background. For this reason, it has made countless projects and works that develop the strategic vision for the future’s civilization. Th ese works and projects have been embodied in 1 Süleyman Şensoy is Chairman of the Turkish Asian Center for Strategic Studies (TASAM) ISSN1855-7694 © 2014 European Perspectives, UDK: 327 (4) 7 Süleyman Şensoy meetings, symposiums, congresses, seminars, brain storms, books, tours, activities, journals, and reports. Th ere are 10 foreign policy fi elds that TASAM acts on. Th ese are conti- nently Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Caribbean and North America. Th e regional ones are Balkans, Middle East, Black Sea - Caucasus and Mediterranean which are - in every parameter - the security zone of these four continents in terms of Turkey. Also Turkic World and Islamic World are called as identical fi elds. TASAM activities turn into concrete results by its fi nal reports, strategic reports, refereed journals, books, agreements, institutes, networks, platforms and Web Sites within the extent of continuously increasing studies regarding these 10 foreign policy fi elds. Combined with public diplomacy, these results develop bottom to top consciousness and interaction and give eff ective information, ideas and suggestions to the related decision makers; thus bring about strategic contributions to a Turkey-and-its-allies-centered perspective on the basis of power and justice. TASAM, studying to refl ect its experiences concerning 4 continents, 4 subregions and Turkic and Islamic World to every parameter in Turkey by projects all around the country, has been carrying out many of its in- stitutional processes, being in the fi rst place the Turkey’s Strategic Vision 2023, which has been performed in 81 provinces under the auspices of the Presidency of Turkish Republic.

  • QUALESTORIA. Rivista Di Storia Contemporanea. L'italia E La
    «Qualestoria» n.1, giugno 2021, pp. 163-186 DOI: 10.13137/0393-6082/32191 https://www.openstarts.units.it/handle/10077/21200 163 Culture, arts, politics. Italy in Ivan Meštrović’s and Bogdan Radica’s discourses between the two World Wars di Maciej Czerwiński In this article the activity and discourses of two Dalmatian public figures are taken into consideration: the sculptor Ivan Meštrović and the journalist Bogdan Radica. They both had an enormous influence on how the image of Italy was created and disseminated in Yugoslavia, in particular in the 1920s and 1930s. The analysis of their discourses is interpreted in terms of the concept of Dalmatia within a wider Mediterranean basin which also refers to two diverse conceptualizations of Yugoslavism, cultural and politi- cal. Meštrović’s vision of Dalmatia/Croatia/Yugoslavia was based on his rural hinterland idiom enabling him to embrace racial and cultural Yugoslavism. In contrast, Radica, in spite of having a pro-Yugoslav orientation during the same period, did not believe in race, so for him the idea of Croat-Serb unity was more a political issue (to a lesser extent a cultural one). Keywords: Dalmatia, Yugoslav-Italian relationships, Croatianness, Yugoslavism, Bor- derlands Parole chiave: Dalmazia, Relazioni Jugoslavia-Italia, Croaticità, Jugoslavismo, Aree di confine Introduction This article takes into consideration the activity and discourses of the sculptor Ivan Meštrović and the journalist Bogdan Radica1. The choice of these two figures from Dalmatia, though very different in terms of their profession and political status in the interwar Yugoslav state (1918-41), has an important justification. Not only they both were influenced by Italian culture and heritage (displaying the typical Dalmatian ambivalence towards politics), but they also evaluated Italian heritage and politics in the Croatian/Yugoslav public sphere.

Methods In the beginning of the 2011, we analyzed 102 bones and teeth using the PowerPlex ESX 17 System (Pro- mega), AmpFiSTR NGM PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Bio- systems), and Investigator ESSplex Kit (Qiagen). We cleaned the bones and teeth, removed surface contamination, and ground them into a powder using liquid nitrogen. Prior to DNA isolation with Biorobot EZ1 (Qiagen), 0.5 g bone or tooth powder was decalcified. Nuclear DNA of the samples was quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction. All three kits used the same extract with the amplification conditions recommended by the manufacturers. Results We extracted up to 131 ng DNA/g of powder from the bones and teeth. All three amplification kits showed very similar efficiency, since DNA typing was success- ful with all amplification kits in 101 out of 102 bones and teeth, which represents a 99% success rate. Conclusion The commercially available ESX 17, ESSplex, and NGM kits are highly reliable for STR typing of World Received: August 26, 2011 War II skeletal remains with the DNA extraction method optimized in our laboratory.

  • Film Forum Sarajevo Looks at How to Boost the Presence of European Films in South-Eastern Europe
    Film Forum Sarajevo looks at how to boost the presence of European films in south-eastern Europe The south-eastern European film sector is vital and growing, with remarkable creative talents emerging every year. Five films which have received EU investment are in the competition at this year's Sarajevo Film festival. Meanwhile, a recent report shows that up to 90 percent of cinema admissions in Romania and Bulgaria come from US films. A European Film Forum event will explore how the Creative Europe MEDIA programme can help European films reach audiences in south- eastern Europe. European Film Forum event Countries in south-eastern Europe and the Balkans have suffered a significant loss of cinema theatres since the fall of communism. At the moment private companies are building more and more multiplexes in the region, but with little room for European films. The independent sector is still small, but it is vital and growing. How to help European films reach audiences in this region will be one of the main topics of the European Film forum at the Sarajevo Film Festival August 20th to 21st this year. The Sarajevo Film Festival is the most important film festival in the region and gathers a growing number of professionals and a large audience. At the Film Forum event, experts from the region and the rest of Europe will be looking closer at the recent exciting developments in the south-eastern European cinema sector, and on co-production across the borders in a borderless digital world. A first panel will look at cinema exhibition sector, opportunities and challenges in south-eastern Europe.

  • Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction
    Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction Catherine Baker Lecturer, University of Hull [email protected] http://www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at/cse/en/baker Contemporary Southeastern Europe, 2015, 2(1), 74-93 Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an online, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, scholarly, and policy-oriented research on issues relevant to societies in Southeastern Europe. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org Introduction: Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Catherine Baker* Introduction From the vantage point of the early 1990s, when the end of the Cold War not only inspired the discourses of many Eurovision performances but created opportunities for the map of Eurovision participation itself to significantly expand in a short space of time, neither the scale of the contemporary Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) nor the extent to which a field of “Eurovision research” has developed in cultural studies and its related disciplines would have been recognisable. In 1993, when former Warsaw Pact states began to participate in Eurovision for the first time and Yugoslav successor states started to compete in their own right, the contest remained a one-night-per- year theatrical presentation staged in venues that accommodated, at most, a couple of thousand spectators and with points awarded by expert juries from each participating country. Between 1998 and 2004, Eurovision’s organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and the national broadcasters responsible for hosting each edition of the contest expanded it into an ever grander spectacle: hosted in arenas before live audiences of 10,000 or more, with (from 2004) a semi-final system enabling every eligible country and broadcaster to participate each year, and with (between 1998 and 2008) points awarded almost entirely on the basis of telephone voting by audiences in each participating state.

  • 9. Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe
    9. RACHE, VERGELTUNG, STRAFE Uns, Herr, uns lass das alte Schwert ausgraben! Lass Stahl in jedes Mannes Hände tauen! Die Frauen dürfen leere Hände haben – und nicht einmal die Frauen. Friedrich Torberg „Rebellen-Gebet“ (Übersetzung des anonymen Ge- dichtes Nad Hrobkou Českých Kralů - „An der Grabstätte der Böhmischen Könige“) Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe 1215 Rache und Vergeltung entsprachen 1944/46 einem „tiefen Bedürfnis“ vieler Einwohner Europas, die deutsche Besatzungs-, Deportations- und Vernichtungs- politik erlitten hatten. Denn eine Mehrheit von Europäern hatte den Zweiten Welt- krieg nicht am militärischen Schlachtfeld erlebt, sondern als Kriegsgefangene, Zwangsarbeiter und KZ-Insassen, aber auch als Partisanen, Kollaborateure und „Mitläufer“. „In the annals of history, however, never have so many people been caught up in the process of collaboration, resistance, and retribution as in Europe during and after the Second Wolrd War.“ Aber auch die „tägliche Demütigung“ sollte nicht unterschätzt werden, denn: „Männer und Frauen wurden verraten und erniedrigt, tagtäglich zu kleinen Gesetzwidrigkeiten genötigt, bei denen jeder et- was und viele alles verloren“.2504 Beim Vormarsch der Roten Armee nach Ost- und Westpreußen, Pommern und Schlesien, nach Mähren und Böhmen, in die Slowakei und nach Ungarn, durch den Banat, die Batschka und die Baranya, beim Vormarsch der jugoslawischen Partisanen durch die Vojvodina, Kroatien und Slowenien, bei der Evakuierung der Karpatendeutschen, beim Prager Aufstand, dem Brünner „Todesmarsch“ und dem Aussiger Pogrom, nicht zuletzt bei der Übernahme der neuen polnischen Westgebiete, ließen nicht nur sowjetische Soldaten, sondern auch polnische und tschechische Soldaten, Milizionäre und „Revolutionsgarden“, serbische, kroati- sche und slowenische Partisanen, sogar „Zivilisten“ aller Art, ihren Hassgefühlen gegenüber „den Deutschen“ freien Lauf.

    Rhetorics of Belonging Postcolonialism across the Disciplines 14 Bernard, Rhetorics of Belonging.indd 1 09/09/2013 11:17:03 Postcolonialism across the Disciplines Series Editors Graham Huggan, University of Leeds Andrew Thompson, University of Exeter Postcolonialism across the Disciplines showcases alternative directions for postcolonial studies. It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline – English literary/ cultural studies – and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.
