Wieniawskiego 1 DOI : 10.14746/pp.2014.19.3.1 Magdalena RATAJCZAK Wroclaw Multi-cultural Switzerland – multicultural public service media? Abstract: In this article a special attention is paid to the to the role of public service broadcaster in cul- tural diversity societies. The main aims of the author was answering the following questions: how cul- tural pluralism is implemented by the public service broadcaster in Switzerland? How the Swiss PSB implements the principle of cultural pluralism, particularly in the context of the access of national, lan- guage communities and the migrants minorities to the media? Are all groups recognized by the public broadcaster in the same way? The second goal of the author was delivering answer to a question about the manner of how public broadcaster has adopted to the new situation and how the new ethnic groups are recognized by SGR SSR. The considerations are related to a cultural pluralism, which assumes that the media provide a guaran- tee of cultural diversity in a society. This article is a case study of Swiss public service broadcaster – SGR SSR idee suisse. Key words: Switzerland, multiculturalism, cultural diversity, public service broadcaster Introduction he multi-cultural nature of Switzerland is one of its symbols. This has been rec- Tognized since the birth of the nation. The cultural diversity of Switzerland has evolved over centuries. The multi-cultural aspect of Swiss society is understood, first and foremost, in terms of the existence of many languages. There are Swiss German speakers, French speakers, Italian speakers and those that speak Romansch. The question of faith only comes later. The four language regions are also cultural regions. These are characteristic institutions, organizations, traditions, customs, hab- its, styles of architecture, ways of life, styles of work and play and cuisines. The language communities naturally form defined cultural groups. Since the early 1970s Swiss society has been ever more willing to make this language-based division, and this way of thinking has been supported by the media. In recent years a debate on the fundamental elements of its national identity has been taking place in the country, including the subject of direct democracy, neutrality and multiculturalism. The last point has undergone intensive changes in recent decades. What is the nature of multiculturalism in the contemporary Swiss context? It is in- creasingly difficult to answer such a question. The religious differences within Swiss so- ciety have a long history, dating back to the Reformation. It is worth remembering that these differences, which started during the Reformation and finally took shape at the end of the 19th century, were characterised by relative stability. Until the 1970s, 98% of Swiss residents belonged to a Christian church of some denomination. 8 Magdalena RATAJCZAK PP 3 ’14 Although over time these religious differences have lost their significance, the Swiss are well aware that the only fratricidal wars they have waged took place against a reli- gious background.

"Democracy" without a Demos? The Bosnian Constitutional Experiment and the Intentional Construction of Nonfunctioning States in East European Politics and Societies, Volume 19, Number 2, May , pp. 226-259 The social science literature on ethnically divided states is huge and varied, but suggestions for constitutional solutions are strangely uniform: "loose federations" of ethnically defined ministates, with minimal central authority that must act by consensus and thus cannot act at all on issues that are contested rather than consented. In Bosnia, the political system mandated by the international High Representative suffer the same structural flaws that were used to make the former Yugoslav federation and the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina unworkable. Similarly nonviable systems were proposed in 1994 to 1995 for Croatia and in 1998 to 1999 for Kosovo and recently for Cyprus and for Iraq. This article analyzes the paradox of mandating consensus-based politics in ethnically divided states, inclusion in which does not have the consent of most members of at least one group. -------- Section A) The theory and practise of the federal states and multi-level systems of government Subsection 1.The theory of federation Shivdeep Singh Grewal A cosmopolitan Europe by constitutional means?

  • The United Nations' Political Aversion to the European Microstates
    UN-WELCOME: The United Nations’ Political Aversion to the European Microstates -- A Thesis -- Submitted to the University of Michigan, in partial fulfillment for the degree of HONORS BACHELOR OF ARTS Department Of Political Science Stephen R. Snyder MARCH 2010 “Elephants… hate the mouse worst of living creatures, and if they see one merely touch the fodder placed in their stall they refuse it with disgust.” -Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 77 AD Acknowledgments Though only one name can appear on the author’s line, there are many people whose support and help made this thesis possible and without whom, I would be nowhere. First, I must thank my family. As a child, my mother and father would try to stump me with a difficult math and geography question before tucking me into bed each night (and a few times they succeeded!). Thank you for giving birth to my fascination in all things international. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Second, I must thank a set of distinguished professors. Professor Mika LaVaque-Manty, thank you for giving me a chance to prove myself, even though I was a sophomore and studying abroad did not fit with the traditional path of thesis writers; thank you again for encouraging us all to think outside the box. My adviser, Professor Jenna Bednar, thank you for your enthusiastic interest in my thesis and having the vision to see what needed to be accentuated to pull a strong thesis out from the weeds. Professor Andrei Markovits, thank you for your commitment to your students’ work; I still believe in those words of the Moroccan scholar and will always appreciate your frank advice.

    Volume-5, Issue-3, August-2018 ISSN No: 2349-5677 BUSINESS CYCLES SYNCHRONIZATION: THE CASE OF EUROPEAN MICROSTATES Dapontas Dimitrios PhD. University of Peloponnese Kalavryta, Greece [email protected] Abstract The present paper is presenting the case of five European microstates (Andorra, Lichtenstein Malta, Monaco and San Marino) respectively under the spectral analysis framework we compare the larger business cycle frequencies deployed under our knowledge (58 years 1960- 2017) to a set of four sized neighboring countries (France, Italy. Spain and Switzerland) in order to define if the microstates cycles are synchronized due to country’s size, to adjoining country or possible participation on international organizations such as European Economic Area or European monetary Union. The results show that the link to the adjacent state is stronger than the one with the same acreage or possible union counterpart due to monetary and import dependence bonds. Index Terms—Microstate, balance of payments, monetary policy, spectral analysis. I. INTRODUCTION Europe has a long history of very small countries limited to geographic or demographic limitations. The term “microstate” though is not really clear. A definition given by Dumiensky (2014) can conclude that they are “Currently established and sovereign states who gave part of their authority to stronger and grater nations, in order to protect their economic, political and social prosperity and extend them out of their limited breadth. Under this framework we can name five microstates on the European continent (Malta, Monaco, Lichtenstein, San Marino and Andorra). The present manuscript is presenting the business cycles patterns for these countries answering some important questions related to the size and the importance of these countries to the international economic system.

  • Report on the 2019 ASN (Association for the Study of Nationalities)
    Report on the 2019 ASN (Association for the Study of Nationalities) Convention at the Columbia University in New York On Thursday, 2 May 2019, the Association for the Study of Nationalities national convention hosted a panel entitled “Imagining the Balkans in a Post‐Western Global Order” chaired by Francine Friedman(Ball State University). David Kanin (Johns Hopkins University) posed the premise that the West is in decline, meaning that we are currently living in the post‐Western global order. This is due to the permanent change of resources and influence such that the old powerful countries no longer hold the supreme position that they used to hold. The European project, based on the decline of the old European empires, is no longer feasible. The U.S. is in decline, but is in denial that Wester norms such as democracy and transparency are experiencing a loss of global importance and influence. The Balkans were useful as Western objects, but are now not so easily manipulable. The Balkans could not previously construct its own regional power and economic structure, and it still cannot. While Western influence will remain, it does not appear that the Balkans will en masse joint the European Union, or, if they do, it will be less to them than it could have been previously. The U.S. will seem further away from them than ever; the U.S. cannot get away with its mistakes like previously (i.e., we cannot any longer send many troops to try to mend a situation like we did, say, with Vietnam). The norms touted by the West will diminish before Western forms disappear, so that the norms will have less content to them.

This has impacts in only nine Member States which are still applying restrictions.1 Equally, 2013 is an enlargement year with Croatia joining the EU on 1 July. Thirteen Member States are applying transitional restrictions on Croatian workers.2 Although there are substantial differences in unemployment rates between the Member States as a result of the economic situation, these unemployment rates do not appear to be a determining factor in the application of transitional restrictions on Croatian workers. For instance, Ireland and Portugal where there are relatively high unemployment levels have not applied restrictions. Although the interior ministries of four Member States (Austria, Germany, the Nether- lands and the UK) expressed concern about their social costs in respect of EU workers from other Member States in a letter to the Presidency, none of the ministries followed up these concerns with evidence of a problem, when so requested by the Commission.

  • An Analysis of Five European Microstates
    Geoforum, Vol. 6, pp. 187-204, 1975. Pergamon Press Ltd. Printed in Great Britain The Plight of the Lilliputians: an Analysis of Five European Microstates Honor6 M. CATUDAL, Jr., Collegeville, Minn.” Summary: The mini- or microstate is an important but little studied phenomenon in political geography. This article seeks to redress the balance and give these entities some of the attention they deserve. In general, five microstates are examined; all are located in Western Europe-Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican. The degree to which each is autonomous in its internal affairs is thoroughly explored. And the extent to which each has control over its external relations is investigated. Disadvantages stemming from its small size strike at the heart of the ministate problem. And they have forced these nations to adopt practices which should be of use to large states. Zusammenfassung: Dem Zwergstaat hat die politische Geographie wenig Beachtung geschenkt. Urn diese Liicke zu verengen, werden hier fiinf Zwergstaaten im westlichen Europa untersucht: Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino und der Vatikan.

It contains the results of a research project devoted to the question of the “new neighbours” on the eastern border of the newly enlarged EU. Furthermore, it refl ects a break in the research tradition of the Latvian Institute of International Affairs. Whereas earlier, since 1992, when the institute was established, research on security issues was funded by the international foundations and countries that had enjoyed prosperity and democracy since the end of the Second Word War, this year for the fi rst time the research project was funded by the Latvian government, mainly the Ministry of Defence with further support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
