Eurosc Utdoc EuroSc utDoc EEuropeanuro Region Sc utDoc World Organization of the Scout Movement Issue No. 1 - 1999 Youth Programme An update on EUROPE FOR YOU ! Introduction Euro.Scout.Doc is published by the European Scout Office (ESO). Its aim is to provide members of national Scout associations with an update on key developments in the five areas of the European Scout Plan 1999-2007, as well as results of seminars and events: • Developing and promoting our Movement (Youth Policies); • Better Scouting for more young people (Youth Programme); • The adults we need (Adult Resources); • Regional communication network (Communication); • Support to the development of national Scout associations (Support and Finance). Each issue will focus on one of these areas, as indicated in its sub-title, using input from the European Scout Committee, European working groups and national associations. It will be distributed via Europak and made available on the regional web site: www.scout.org/europe. We hope that you will find Euro.Scout.Doc interesting, informative and attractive, and that it will inspire you not only to contribute your own ideas and experiences, but also to try out some of the new ideas you will find here.

Hungarian title: VERBOSSZU BACSKABAN Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number 92-76218 ISBN 1-882785-01-0 Manufactured in the United States of America 9 AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION At the end of World War I, the southern part of the thousand year old historical Hungary was occupied by Serbian troops. Under the terms of the Paris Peace Treaty in 1921 it was annexed to the Serbo-Croat-Slovenian Kingdom, that later became Yugoslavia. The new name of this territory, situated to the east of present Croatia, was VOJVODINA (also spelled Voivodina or Voyvodina). Its former Hungarian name had been Bacska and Banat. During World War II, in 1941, Germany occupied Yugoslavia. At the same time, Hungary took possession of and re-annexed VOJVODINA from divided Yugoslavia. At the end of 1944, the Serbs reoccupied Bacska, which has belonged to Serbia ever since.

  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.

This period is significant for Vojvodina, which under Austria-Hungary had been (and continues to be) the home of a diverse population for two and a half centuries. The diversity of the region was the backdrop against which the women in this book were born and spent their childhood.

  • Serbian Roma Soldiers, 1912–1918
    Social Inclusion (ISSN: 2183–2803) 2020, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 277–285 DOI: 10.17645/si.v8i2.2821 Article A View of the Disaster and Victory from below: Serbian Roma Soldiers, 1912–1918 Danilo Šarenac Institute for Contemporary History, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 22 January 2020 | Accepted: 29 April 2020 | Published: 4 June 2020 Abstract The Kingdom of Serbia fought in three consecutive conflicts between 1912 and 1918. These events merged into a devas- tating experience of an all-out war, completely reshaping all aspects of contemporary life. As the first centenary of these events has recently shown, the memories of wartime still play a very prominent role in the Serbian national narrative. By 1915 around 20% of Serbian combatants belonged to some of the country’s minorities. Second class citizens on the social margins of society, the Serbian Roma constitute those whose wartime history is the least known to research and the public. However, the wartime diaries kept by Serbian soldiers are full of causal references to their Roma fellow combatants. This article provides an overview of the duties Roma soldiers played in the war, based on the perspective of Serbs who were fighting alongside them. The article tackles the general image and the position of the Roma population in the Kingdom of Serbia. In addition, the horrific challenges the war created for Serbian society are tackled from the perspective of those who were, already in peace time, in the most disadvantageous situation socially and economically. Overall, despite the unifying experience which the wartime suffering imposed on all citizens of the Kingdom, the old prejudices towards the Roma survived after 1918.

  • The Uses and Abuses of Participatory Ideologies in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
    Aleksandar Vranješ 1 Borislav Vukojević 2 Pregledni naučni rad UDK 316.776.3:32(497.1) DOI 10.7251/POL1509187V THE USES AND ABUSES OF PARTICIPATORY IDEOLOGIES IN THE SOCIALIST FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA UPOTREBE I ZLOUPOTREBE PARTICIPATIVNIH IDEOLOGIJA U SOCIJALISTIČKOJ FEDERATIVNOJ REPUBLICI JUGOSLAVIJI Abstract: After the formation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugosla- via (SFRY), the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) has organized large work and youth actions aimed at rebuilding the country after the Second World War. The main hypothesis of this paper is that in Yugoslavia there was no participation in the true sense, but that there were mechanisms which represented the ideology of participation. Work actions had huge im- pact on rebuilding the land, but they were not voluntary - which is a basic requirement of modern theory of participation. Likewise, the term partici- pation is further explained in this paper, in order to further explain the the- sis of formal participation in the former Yugoslavia. Student protests in 1968 were not an isolated case of revolt against the system, the basic char- acteristics of popular revolt that had its roots back in the early sixties. The aim of this paper is theoretical analysis of the theory of participation and the basic characteristics of Yugoslavia, in order to show that the participa- tion of the people in the exercise of power was just an illusion, ie. formal. Case Study about films of the sixties and seventies in Yugoslavia illustrates the processes of censorship and imposition of ideology of participation.
