    The Crisis, Reform, and Collapse of the Nobles’ Republic (revision class) The Crisis, Reform, and Collapse of the Nobles’ Republic (revision class) Lesson Plan (Polish) Lesson Plan (English) The Crisis, Reform, and Collapse of the Nobles’ Republic (revision class) 3rd May 1791 Constuon Source: Jan Matejko, Konstytucja 3 Maja 1791 roku, 1891, oil on canvas, domena publiczna. Link to the Lesson You will learn to describe the most important historical events of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; to list the crises that struck Poland in the eighteenth century and what attempts at reform were undertaken; to explain the historical significance of the collapse of the Polish‐Lithuanian Commonwealth. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu By the eighteenth century, the Polish‐Lithuanian political system became anachronistic. The state was becoming ever weaker. It did not pursue an active foreign policy; it was more of an object than a subject on the international stage. Due to the presence of the liberum veto, the nobility obstructed attempts at reform with ease. One deputy’s vote against a project was enough to dismiss the entire Sejm. The representatives of the nobility oftentimes accepted bribes from foreign powers that wished to keep Poland‐Lithuania weak. Russia had ever more say in the affairs of the country. When Stanisław II Augustus was elected King, some of the patriotically inclined nobles rebelled against his rule and created the Bar Confederation The part of the military that remained loyal to the King suppressed the rebellion with the aid of Russian forces. Capitalizing upon the opportunity, Russia, Austria, and Prussia conducted the First Partition of Poland in 1772.

  • The Grunwald Trail
    n the Grunwald fi elds thousands of soldiers stand opposite each other. Hidden below the protec- tive shield of their armour, under AN INVITATION Obanners waving in the wind, they hold for an excursion along long lances. Horses impatiently tear their bridles and rattle their hooves. Soon the the Grunwald Trail iron regiments will pounce at each other, to clash in a deadly battle And so it hap- pens every year, at the same site knights from almost the whole of Europe meet, reconstructing events which happened over six hundred years ago. It is here, on the fi elds between Grunwald, Stębark and Łodwigowo, where one of the biggest battles of Medieval Europe took place on July . The Polish and Lithuanian- Russian army, led by king Władysław Jagiełło, crushed the forces of the Teutonic Knights. On the battlefi eld, knights of the order were killed, together with their chief – the great Master Ulrich von Jungingen. The Battle of Grunwald, a triumph of Polish and Lithuanian weapons, had become the symbol of power of the common monarchy. When fortune abandoned Poland and the country was torn apart by the invaders, reminiscence of the battle became the inspiration for generations remembering the past glory and the fi ght for national independence. Even now this date is known to almost every Pole, and the annual re- enactment of the battle enjoys great popularity and attracts thousands of spectators. In Stębark not only the museum and the battlefi eld are worth visiting but it is also worthwhile heading towards other places related to the great battle with the Teutonic Knights order.

Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Anna Kovalchuk iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Kovalchuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2017 Title: Narrating the National Future: The Cossacks in Ukrainian and Russian Romantic Literature This dissertation investigates nineteenth-century narrative representations of the Cossacks—multi-ethnic warrior communities from the historical borderlands of empire, known for military strength, pillage, and revelry—as contested historical figures in modern identity politics. Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

  • Environmentally Harmful Subsidies POLICY ISSUES and CHALLENGES «
    Environmentally Harmful Subsidies POLICY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES « The reform of environmentally harmful subsidies is a high priority for OECD countries. But is there agreement on a common definition of subsidies and on methods to measure them? Are enough reliable data and methods available to identify, measure and analyse environmentally harmful subsidies? These questions were addressed at an OECD workshop held in November 2002. For the first time, experts from a variety of backgrounds (government, academics, researchers and representatives of international organisations and civil society) had the opportunity to take stock of and share technical knowledge of subsidies and their environmental impacts. They addressed these issues in the context of such diverse areas as agriculture, fisheries, energy, industry, transport, forestry Environmentally and water resources. The workshop identified a number of technical issues and policy challenges that needed to be examined in pursuing the reform Harmful of environmentally harmful subsidies, in particular the development of a common framework to define and measure subsidies. The use of a policy “checklist” was identified as a potentially valuable tool to help identify those subsidies Subsidies Harmful Environmentally Subsidies whose removal would benefit the environment.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Republic of Nobles in the French Political Thought (1573-1795)1
    Open Political Science, 2020; 3: 231–242 Research Article Teresa Malinowska* The Polish-Lithuanian Republic of Nobles in the French political thought (1573-1795)1 https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2020-0021 received July 1, 2020; accepted August 10, 2020. Abstract: The modern Polish-Lithuanian Republic drew the attention of many French political authors like Théodore de Bèze, Jean Boucher, Jean Bodin, Henri de Boulainvilliers, Montesquieu, Voltaire or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The Sarmatian State appeared in French political literature in 1573, when the French prince Henri de Valois was elected king of the Polish-Lithuanian Republic, until 1795, when it disappeared from the map of Europe. It appeared not only in political treaties but also in pamphlets, manifestos and travel literature. This article aims at analysing this continuous presence, which constitutes a fascinating key for reading the French political debates of the modern era. Keywords: Modern republicanism; modern absolutism; mixed monarchy; modern political thought; European history; history of representations; Franco-Polish relationships. In his monography, Olivier Christin wrote about the elections in medieval and modern Europe: “It is precisely by recalling that past that we can understand some of the issues discussed today about the forms of democratic political life”2. This way, the French historian underlined the meaning of political concepts and practices inherited from the past. When talking about the electoral phenomenon in the modern era, one cannot forget the experience of the Polish- Lithuanian Republic. Yet, it seems that it was still poorly apprehended. In 2008, Marc Bélissa made an important statement concerning French eighteenth century studies: if the significance of the English or the Swedish model in the enlightenment republican thought was quite well-known in France and Europe, the influence of the Rzeczpospolita was often forgotten3.

Director ABSTRACT Continuing victories and absolute belief in the invincibility of their armies are the most important parameters for the Ottomans proving the superiority and perfection of their state traditions and institutions. The Ottomans believed in that their domains were divinely protected as it is reflected in their widely used title of Memalik-i Mahruse. After the serial defeats of the Ottoman armies and the Ottoman loss of the Crimea they understood that something must be changed in the structure of the Ottoman State, primarily in the military structure of the Empire.
