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). -

Simplified WWII Timeline
~ Belz Museum of Asian and Judaic Art ~ Holocaust Memorial Gallery ~ Simplified World War II Timeline 1933 JANUARY 30, 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler chancellor. At the time, Hitler was leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi party). FEBRUARY 27-28, 1933 The German parliament (Reichstag) building burned down under mysterious circumstances. The government treated it as an act of terrorism. FEBRUARY 28, 1933 Hitler convinced President von Hindenburg to invoke an emergency clause in the Weimar Constitution. The German parliament then passed the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of Nation (Volk) and State, popularly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, the decree suspended the civil rights provisions in the existing German constitution, including freedom of speech, assembly, and press, and formed the basis for the incarceration of potential opponents of the Nazis without benefit of trial or judicial proceeding. MARCH 22, 1933 The SS (Schutzstaffel), Hitler's “elite guard,” established a concentration camp outside the town of Dachau, Germany, for political opponents of the regime. It was the only concentration camp to remain in operation from 1933 until 1945. By 1934, the SS had taken over administration of the entire Nazi concentration camp system. MARCH 23, 1933 The German parliament passed the Enabling Act, which empowered Hitler to establish a dictatorship in Germany. APRIL 1, 1933 The Nazis organized a nationwide boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in Germany. Many local boycotts continued throughout much of the 1930s. APRIL 7, 1933 The Nazi government passed the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which excluded Jews and political opponents from university and governmental positions. -
Interregional Diversity of Social Capital in the Context of Sustainable Development—A Case Study of Polish Voivodeships
sustainability Article Interregional Diversity of Social Capital in the Context of Sustainable Development—A Case Study of Polish Voivodeships Katarzyna Pawlewicz 1 and Adam Pawlewicz 2,* 1 Department of Socio-Economic Geography, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland; [email protected] 2 Department of Agrotechnology, Agricultural Production Management and Agribusiness, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 May 2020; Accepted: 8 July 2020; Published: 10 July 2020 Abstract: The relationship between social capital and sustainable development challenges is of special importance. However, social capital is a complex phenomenon that is analyzed in different contexts and cannot be investigated with the use of a single variable. Social capital is difficult to define, which is why the selection of variables for measuring social capital can be problematic. The aim of this study was to analyze variations in social capital at the regional level. The study was conducted in Poland, and it covered all 16 Polish voivodeships (regions) where social capital was evaluated based on five measures: civic engagement in political and social life, degree of selfless behavior, sense of security and social confidence, formation of social structures, and the observance of social norms (external factors), and attitudes (internal factors) that foster desirable social interactions. The correlations between the above measures were also determined. Composite indicators of the analyzed measures were developed with the use of the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The results were used to rank Polish voivodeships and group them into three classes based on the corresponding values of the adopted measures. -
Zhovkva Schowkwa
Zhovkva Schowkwa Schlagwörter: Stadt (Siedlung) Fachsicht(en): Kulturlandschaftspflege, Archäologie, Denkmalpflege, Landeskunde, Museen, Architekturgeschichte Gemeinde(n): Kreis(e): Bundesland: Today the tourist attraction of Zhovkva is mostly associated with the unique architecture and interesting history of the city. Architectural and historical objects are concentrated in the center of Zhovkva – Market Square (Zhovkva Castle, Buildings with arcaded porches, Monastery of the Basilian Order, New Town Hall, St. Lawrence Church, pillar of shame, Zvirynetski gates). Like many similar towns in Ukraine, the architectural and historical heritage of Zhovkva is in a poor condition. But some destinations with a tourism relevancy as The New Town Hall and St. Lawrence Church were restored recently. The city park needs to be restored as an important recreation area for both tourists and locals. Zhovkva traditionally holds the „Gazon Party at the King’s House” festival, where historical battles are played near the castle walls and in its courtyard, sports entertainment is held, a fair of traditional food and life is opened, and rock bands perform. Owners of vintage cars from Poland and Ukraine have been gathering on Rynok Square (Vicheva) for several years in a row. Touristic and cultural relevancy of Zhovkva Talking about the strong suits of Zhovkva, we need to mention that this city: 1. is a small, historic, beautiful spot for tourists with a great potential of development. 2. is close to Lviv, a city with an outstanding touristic relevancy (approximately 25 kilometers). 3. has a deep history and is well-known in Ukraine and abroad for its remarkable historical and cultural heritage of Ukrainians, Poles and Jews. -

For years, Galicia had been a part of Poland. Its scenery, woods and rivers had been our parents’ memories. A Jewish culture had developed in Galicia, the Yiddish language was created there, customs established, unique Jewish foods cooked, the figure of the “Yiddishe Mame” developed, inspiring a good deal of genealogical research; “Halakhot” and Rabbinic Laws made; an authoritative leadership established in the towns, organizing communities on their social institutions – Galicia gave birth to the “Shttetl” – the Jewish town, on all its social-historical and emotional implications. -

Financial Resources of Agricultural Manufacturers in Ukraine – Historical Experience and Its Modern Role in Enterprise Management
Education Excellence and Innovation Management: A 2025 Vision to Sustain Economic Development during Global Challenges Financial Resources of Agricultural Manufacturers in Ukraine – Historical Experience and Its Modern Role in Enterprise Management Oksana KRASNIKOVA, Poltava State Agrarian Academy, Poltava, Ukraine, [email protected] Iryna BORYSOVA, Poltava State Agrarian Academy, Poltava, Ukraine, [email protected] Antonina KALINICHENKO, University of Opole, Opole, Poland, [email protected] Anna BRZOZOWSKA, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland, [email protected] Abstract The use of historical experience is an important component of the modern economy reforming in Ukraine. The reforms of the second half of the 19 th to early 20 th century are of particular importance. As their immediate result was the creation of an extensive credit system for agricultural producers, which was very effective at that time. The article describes the main types of financial resources used by agricultural producers in Ukraine at the turn of the 19 th and 20 th century. The analysis of statistical data confirms the idea of the extraordinary vitality of small family-owned agricultural enterprises. In such places there has always been the possibility of replenishing a modest budget through both economic activity and handicraft industries, as well as loans of different origins. The use of historical experience can be extremely useful for increasing the competitiveness in both domestic and foreign markets. Keywords : Agricultural Sector, Agricultural Goods Producers, Budget, Financial Resources. Introduction The era of deep and comprehensive economic reforms in Russia, the beginning of which goes back to the period of the abolition of serfdom in 1861 is of considerable public interest. -
Transnational Labour Migration Between Poland and Germany: the Case of Upper Silesia
Centrum Stosunków Międzynarodowych Center for International Relations Reports&Analyses 4/06 Ewa Palenga-Möllenbeck Transnational Labour Migration between Poland and Germany: The Case of Upper Silesia The Report was written in cooperation with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, within the framework of the project 'Transatlantic Security Challenges and Dillemas for the European Migration Policy', sponsored by the German Marshall Fund of the United States. CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ul. Emilii Plater 25, 00-688 Warszawa TEL.: (22) 646 52 67, FAX: (22) 646 52 58 www.csm.org.pl, [email protected] Center for International Relations© Ewa Palenga-Möllenbeck Transnational Labour Migration between Poland and Germany: The Case of Upper Silesia 1. Introduction The relation of nation state and transnationalism can be considered as part of a broader discussion on the sovereignty of the nation state, which is faced with phenomena labelled “postnational”, “supernational”, “global”, “glocal” “local” and, finally, “transnational”. “Transnationalism”, conceived of as trans-border relations and involvements of nation-state citizens, is happening across, transversing the borders of “container-type” nation states and thus challenging their claims to sovereignty and loyalty. That said, transnational practices are not “fluid”, but, as Ewa Morawska (2001:196) never tires to emphasise, “place and time bounded”. The great majority of empirical studies on transnationalism (cf. Levitt et al. 2003: 568) show that nation-states and their policies do matter for forms and contents of transnationalism. National policies can even actively encourage the development of transnational practices. The case I would like to describe in this paper is an interesting example of this interaction between nation-state policy (specifically, dual citizenship), and transnational tendencies. -
