The result of this meeting is both a collection of academic proceedings in which individual authors attempted to point to selected issues in the topics discussed. At the same time, they have raised a number of topics that will be the subject of further scientific debates in the near future. This event launched another activity of our faculty’s scientific team - a series of scientific debates between long-time scientists and new graduates in PhD studies, resulting, amongst other things, in the superiority of our PhD students’ scientific outputs. I believe that the introductory year and the outcomes of it will become the basis of a new tradition that will benefit everyone from. Peter HORVÁTH Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences 7 Current Trends and Public Administration THE ELECTORAL AFTERMATH: NEW WAVE POPULISM AND RADICALISM IN SLOVAKIA1 Jaroslav MIHÁLIK Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava [email protected] Abstract The electoral success of new political platforms in recent parliamentary elections in Slovakia had raised the political and public awareness. The major concerns are related to the rise of populism, radicalism and a potential of new political platforms and leaders to take part in the political process and decision-making. From this reason, we argue about the new patterns of political leadership as implied from the parliamentary elections with the focus on the coalition potential and the political implications resulting from the popular support of alternative political parties. The major aim of the paper is to discuss, using the content analysis and secondary research of public opinion, the current trends of policy- making in Slovakia related to the aspects of the electoral results and their aftermath. Key words elections, populism, radicalism, political leadership, Slovakia INTRODUCTION The latest parliamentary elections in Slovakia took place on March 5th 2016. The spring elections have brought several topics for discussion. First of all, the results pointed on the weaknesses of the traditional political parties that have established in Slovakia throughout it short period of independence. Secondly and, perhaps most importantly the electoral process and the results have brought new political parties into 1 The authors gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the Scientific Grant Agency of the Slovak Republic under the grant 1/0339/17: The dynamics and comparison of institutional consolidation of far-right political parties and movements in the Czech Republic and Slovakia 9 Conference Proceeding the parliament, especially the party of Marian Kotleba Peoples´ Party - Our Slovakia that has been ever since its establishment subject of many academic and public discussions. The other new political platform that gained popular support is just recently emerged political movement of businessman Boris Kollár – We are family. Another topic resulting from the parliamentary elections is the rise of negative campaign, anti-EU rhetoric of political leaders but also radicalization and extremism among voters. Such trends were mostly visible in the Czech Republic prior to Slovak elections.1 Since it is not an easy task to develop the clear cut categorization and ideological spectrum of the new parties, the scholars usually argue with the measures of populism and far-right political orientation which may be quite correct in spite of the anti-systematic orientation, rejection of traditional conventions and political parties in Slovakia. The other surprise of the elections is the step back of the voters of the Christian Democratic Movement which, for the first time in the Slovak history had not passed the parliamentary threshold of 5% of popular vote. These issues are inevitably bound with the changing nature and moods of the Slovak voters, the political processes and social and economic deprivation in various regions as well as tight international relations escalated through the very recent refugees´ crisis and migrants´ influx to Europe.2 The spread of fear, paranoia, and national securitization campaigns as well as the negative campaign have all mobilized the voters to stress the position of nation state in Europe and to support, sometimes, non-democratic policy making, more authoritarian approach and rather populist and antagonistic approach to democratic values. In this paper we aim to confront the electoral results with the popular support as interpreted throughout the research of public opinion polls as well as the research with

  • Implementing the Protocol 36 Opt
    September 2012 Opting out of EU Criminal law: What is actually involved? Alicia Hinarejos, J.R. Spencer and Steve Peers CELS Working Paper, New Series, No.1 http://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk http://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/publications/working_papers.php Centre for European Legal Studies • 10 West Road • Cambridge CB3 9DZ Telephone: 01223 330093 • Fax: 01223 330055 • http://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Protocol 36 to the Lisbon Treaty gives the UK the right to opt out en bloc of all the police and criminal justice measures adopted under the Treaty of Maastricht ahead of the date when the Court of Justice of the EU at Luxembourg will acquire jurisdiction in relation to them. The government is under pressure to use this opt-out in order to “repatriate criminal justice”. It is rumoured that this opt-out might be offered as a less troublesome alternative to those are calling for a referendum on “pulling out of Europe”. Those who advocate the Protocol 36 opt-out appear to assume that it would completely remove the UK from the sphere of EU influence in matters of criminal justice and that the opt-out could be exercised cost-free. In this Report, both of these assumptions are challenged. It concludes that if the opt-out were exercised the UK would still be bound by a range of new police and criminal justice measures which the UK has opted into after Lisbon. And it also concludes that the measures opted out of would include some – notably the European Arrest Warrant – the loss of which could pose a risk to law and order.

  • 527 Final 2012/0253
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 20.9.2012 COM(2012) 527 final 2012/0253 (COD)C7-0301/12 Proposal for a DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Decision No 574/2007/EC with a view to increasing the co-financing rate of the External Borders Fund for certain Member States experiencing or threatened with serious difficulties with respect to their financial stability EN EN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL Reasons and objectives The sustained financial and economic crisis is stepping up the pressure on national financial resources as Member States reduce their budgets. In this context, ensuring the smooth implementation of programmes adopted under the four Funds established as part of the General Programme on ‘Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Funds’), is of particular importance as a means of injecting funds into the economy. Nonetheless, implementation of the programmes is often challenging as a result of liquidity problems caused by budget constraints that often lead to severe cutbacks in expenditures, consequently augmenting problems during a period of sustained crisis. This is the case in particular for those Member States which have been most affected by the current crisis and have received financial assistance under a programme from the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM), the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) or bilateral loans for the euro countries or from the Balance of Payments (BoP) mechanism for non-euro countries. To date, six countries — including Greece, which also received financial assistance before the establishment of EFSM via bilateral loans — have requested financial assistance under the various support mechanisms and have agreed with the Commission on a macro-economic adjustment programme.

Abstrakt Diplomová práca prináša systematický pohľad na strety záujmov pri vyuţívaní prírodných zdrojov. V práci sú identifikované, charakterizované a zdokumentované najvýznamnejšie strety záujmov vo vybranom území v okrese Trnava a ich dokumentácia. Práca je zameraná predovšetkým na konflikty vznikajúce zo stretov záujmov v oblasti priemyslu, energetiky, vodného hospodárstva a poľnohospodárstva. Zamerali sme sa na najzávaţnejšie konflikty, ktoré najviac ohrozujú územie. Negatívne pôsobenie priemyselných prevádzok, ťaţobných lokalít a ţivočíšnych fariem ako zdrojov priemyselných exhalácií, pachu, hluku, prašnosti, ktoré spôsobujú ohrozenie, resp. narušenie prirodzeného vývoja ekosystémov. V skúmanom území je dôleţité obmedziť rozvoj tých hospodárskych aktivít, ktoré by mohli negatívne ovplyvniť prírodné hodnoty územia a vyvolávať konflikty medzi rôznymi záujmovými skupinami. Veľká pozornosť je venovaná otázke riešenia konfliktov a posudzovaniu vplyvov na ţivotné prostredie.

Životné prostredie, 2019, 53, 1, p. 26 – 31. Monuments enhance the cultural and historical significance of Slovakia because their high cultural value provides precious proof of our history. These monuments form research subjects for experts from different spheres; especially landscape ecologists. This paper therefore presents an example of landscape-ecological assessment of environmental quality in Trnava district rural settlements. The environmental quality is positively influenced by the presence of cul- tural monuments, and this quality is assessed by combined methods of positive socio-economic phenomena in nature conservation, natural resources, cultural-historical resources and the environment. The sociological survey conducted via questionnaires addressed to mayors of rural settlements forms part of this assessment, and this paper contains re- plies where respondents present their opinions on cultural monuments associated with local environmental quality. Key words: rural settlements, environmental quality, landscape-ecological assessment, positive socio-economic phe- nomena, cultural-historical resources, cultural monuments, sociological survey Kvalita životného prostredia závisí od vplyvu člo- Z humánno-ekologického hľadiska má hodnotenie veka a ľudskej spoločnosti na krajinu, jej zložky a prv- ľudských

  • Police and Border Controls Cooperation at the EU Level: Dilemmas, Opportunities and Challenges of a Differentiated Approach by Guido Lessing*
    EU60: RE-FOUNDING EUROPE THE RESPONSIBILITY POLICE TO PROPOSE AND BORDER CONTROLS COOPERATION AT THE EU LEVEL: DILEMMAS, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF A DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH GUIDO LESSING 8 MARCH 2017 ISBN 978-88-9368-033-2 POLICE AND BORDER CONTROLS COOPERATION AT THE EU LEVEL: DILEMMAS, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF A DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH by Guido Lessing* Abstract: The history of the European Union is a history of differentiated integration. Differentiation is a logical corollary of integration insofar as politicization and incentives for further integration differ among member states. Whereas the first opt-outs from Justice and Home Affairs were conceded in order to continue the ratification process of the Treaty creating the European Union, the question today is whether growing differentiation can save or will wreck the Union. In times of Brexit and surging euroscepticism and against the backdrop of the refugee crisis, the Union’s resilience to disintegration is at stake. The willingness of member states to make the next steps towards more integration in order to save the Schengen acquis will decide the future of the Union. Further differentiation in the area of freedom, security and justice threatens to reinforce the dividing line between the core and the periphery of Europe. Keywords: EU integration | Migration | Refugees | Frontex | UK | Denmark Introduction: A challenging state of affairs Pursuant to Article 3(2) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), “The Union shall offer its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice without internal frontiers, in which the free movement of persons is ensured in conjunction with appropriate measures with respect to external border controls, asylum, * Guido Lessing is Research Assistant at the Robert Schuman Institute of the Luxembourg University.

    Las tesis de Belgrano Escuela de Lenguas y Estudios Extranjeros Maestría en Traducción EUROPE IN 12 LESSONS: THE IMPACT OF EU LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION POLICY ON SUCCESSIVE EDITIONS OF AN EU BOOKLET Christina Thorngreen Director de tesis: Professor Douglas Town Resumen Esta tesis examina cómo el predominio actual del inglés se relaciona con la política de comunicación general de la UE. Algunos estudios anteriores y la evidencia anecdótica muestran que el inglés se está convirtiendo en el principal idioma de trabajo de la UE y que el francés se usa cada vez en menor medida. En este trabajo de indagación, el folleto de la Comisión Europea "Europa en 12 lecciones" sirve como estudio de caso. Incluye un estudio longitudinal, como así también un análisis retórico de las cuatro ediciones en francés e inglés publicadas entre 1997 y 2014. Los cambios en estas ediciones y las entrevistas con dos de los principales agentes en la producción de la publicación indican que las instituciones europeas se están alejando de un estilo de escritura académico con frases largas y complejas, que caracteriza a lenguas latinas, para acercarse a un estilo de comunicación anglosajón más secillo para el lector. De manera oficial, todas las 24 lenguas de la UE tienen igual importancia. Sin embargo, el creciente euroescepticismo y los críticos como el lobby Open Europe, que acusan a la UE de un 'déficit democrático', pueden contribuir a que el inglés se vuelva su lengua principal. Este trabajo sostiene que los cambios observados en "Europa en 12 lecciones", con el tiempo y entre los dos idiomas, son indicadores del cambio en la política de comunicación general de la UE, que busca facilitar la lectura y ayudar a las instituciones a comunicar sus beneficios a los ciudadanos.
