  • Editorial Welcome to the IALS Student Law Review Tuğçe Yalçin
    Editorial Welcome to the IALS Student Law Review Tuğçe Yalçin Welcome to the COVID-19 Special Issue of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies' Student Law Review (ISLRev). The COVID-19 pandemic threw not only the world into a serious shock to all intents and purposes but caused an historic decline in economic outputs in many countries and raised numerous questions for states and the societal functioning in general. The severe and challenging situation also ushered in a rethink of our old habits and seeming obviousnesses such as meeting friends or working in shared environments. It reminds us about what is really essential in life, or simply: recalling our humanity and reality – our natural limits of necessity. In this COVID-19 Special Issue, we will be reflecting on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected local legal systems, the introduction of legal regimes to confront the new realities, economies, governments and the society at large. We are pleased to introduce the following articles of this COVID-19 Special Issue of the ISLRev: Dr. Marijana Opashinova Shundovska discusses whether emergency measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are a threat to the democracy by analysing the case of North Macedonia. This new world order ‘Covidism’, both autocratic and liberal, proved to be more dangerous in the long run than the virus which took thousands of lives and infected millions of people worldwide. The ‘COVID-19 victimisation’ and ‘de-democratisation’ made representative houses revert to old emergency situations, conveying the lead to the executives to carry on the entire decision-making process, putting into question their definition as pillar institutions in the systems of representative democracy.

  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.

    ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 27, No. 1 (GR) March 2020 Greece political briefing: The New Greek President George N. Tzogopoulos 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: CHen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 The New Greek President The first female President of Greece undertook its duties in a very difficult period for the Greek economy and society, in March 2020. Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the former President of the Council of State, was the personal choice of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to succeed Prokopis Pavlopoulos. Pavlopoulos played a constructive role in the summer of 2015, when Greece’s stay in the Eurozone was jeopardized, but is considered a politician with close ties to SYRIZA by most New Democracy members, even the Kostas Karamanlis’ wing which largely supports him. Mitsotakis nominated a woman to become the President to make a symbolic gesture in line with European guidelines and send a message of unity to Greek citizens. Chinese President Xi Jinping immediately congratulated Sakellaropoulou after her election. The new President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou was sworn in on 13 March 2020. As in mid-March the government ordered a lockdown to fight against COVID-19, the ceremony was only attended by a small number of people. In particular, instead of 1000 people who would have been able to participate under normal circumstances, 150 people were present in the plenary. Political parties, for example, were represented by the heads of their parliamentary group.

  • Dedica Dal Bottino Di Sellasia [ 237 ]
    Axon ISSN [ebook] 2532-6848 Vol. 1 – Num. 2 – Dicembre 2017 Dedica dal bottino di Sellasia [ 237 ] Stefano Tropea (Università degli Studi di Torino, Italia) Riassunto Il monumento commemorativo, mai rinvenuto, e la dedica consacrata ad Apollo da Antigono III, dai Macedoni e dagli alleati, ritrovata in un contesto di reimpiego a Delo, recano testi- monianza del punto culminante della fama del re macedone in seguito alla celebre vittoria nella battaglia di Sellasia dell’estate del 222 a.C.: tale avvenimento consacrò Antigono III come il primo uomo nella storia ad aver preso militarmente la città di Sparta. Con questo successo sul re Cleo- mene III egli riuscì a porre fine a ogni conflitto nel Peloponneso e a proclamare una koine eirene su tutta la Grecia con il patrocinio antigonide, coinvolgendovi in parte anche il Koinon etolico (Polibio 4.3.8), rimasto indipendente e sostanzialmente ostile alla Macedonia. Non sorprende dunque che al termine della sua carriera politica un adulatore del re abbia potuto affermare che le fortune di Antigono III si accostavano a quelle di Alessandro Magno (τὴν Ἀντιγόνου τύχην ἀλεξανδρίζειν, Ateneo 6.251d). Strumento essenziale di questo traguardo era stato il controllo della symmachia istituita nel 224 a.C. in collaborazione con Arato, una coalizione di leghe creata sul modello delle assemblee panelleniche di poleis riunitesi sotto l’egida macedone nel 338 a.C. con Filippo II e nel 302 con Antigono Monoftalmo e Demetrio Poliorcete. Questo ambizioso progetto politico, volto a riunire tutti i Greci disposti a collaborare militarmente con la Macedonia e che rivela i modelli cui il Dosone si ispirava nella sua politica di ‘grandeur’ macedone, costituisce la principale eredità che Antigono III avrebbe lasciato al successore Filippo V, il quale se ne sarebbe servito anche nel corso della Prima e della Seconda Guerra Macedonica contro Roma.

  • LYCURGUS Legendary, 9Th Century B.C
    75 AD LYCURGUS Legendary, 9th Century B.C. Plutarch translated by John Dryden Plutarch (46-120) - Greek biographer, historian, and philosopher, sometimes known as the encyclopaedist of antiquity. He is most renowned for his series of character studies, arranged mostly in pairs, known as “Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans” or “Parallel Lives.” Lycurgus (75 AD) - A study of the life of Lycurgus, the lawgiver of Sparta. LYCURGUS There is so much uncertainty in the accounts which historians have left us of Lycurgus, the lawgiver of Sparta, that scarcely anything is asserted by one of them which is not called into question or contradicted by the rest. Their sentiments are quite different as to the family he came of, the voyages he undertook, the place and manner of his death, but most of all when they speak of the laws he made and the commonwealth which he founded. They cannot, by any means, be brought to an agreement as to the very age in which he lived; for some of them say that he flourished in the time of Iphitus, and that they two jointly contrived the ordinance for the cessation of arms during the solemnity of the Olympic games. Of this opinion was Aristotle; and for confirmation of it, he alleges an inscription upon one of the copper quoits used in those sports, upon which the name of Lycurgus continued uneffaced to his time. But Eratosthenes and Apollodorus and other chronologers, computing the time by the successions of the Spartan kings, pretend to demonstrate that he was much more ancient than the institution of the Olympic games.
