  • Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

  • Shelley Rudman Joins Procter & Gamble to Launch Sochi 2014
    Press Information: 29th October 2013 Shelley Rudman joins Procter & Gamble to launch Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games Thank You Mum Campaign Procter & Gamble, a Worldwide Olympic Partner, today announces Skeleton World Champion and Olympic Silver Medallist, Shelley Rudman, an aspiring Team GB member, has joined its global family of athletes. The announcement also kicks off P&G’s Thank You Mum campaign, which pays tribute to Mums around the world, and as the Winter Olympic Games approach is highlighting those mums who raise world class athletes. Shelley is one of the UK’s medal hopes for the Sochi Games. Shelley originally from Wiltshire, used to work in teaching, now lives and trains in Sheffield and won Britain’s only medal (Silver) of the Turin 2006 Olympic Winter Games. That success was followed by an 18-month break from the sport when she had her first child with partner and fellow Team GB skeleton slider hopeful, Kristan Bromley. If Shelley is picked to compete for Team GB in Sochi, in addition to being accompanied by her mum and dad, Shelley will have lots of family support in Russia, including from her six-year-old daughter, Ella. Shelley comments, “I am incredibly excited about the possibility of being selected for Sochi 2014. Going into the event as World Champion has given me much more confidence, but also comes with the added pressure of expectation! It’s been a long journey to get to this point and I have so much to thank my mum for. She has always been my rock over the years of training, including all the highs and the lows, so it’s a fantastic boost to me that P&G will enable me to have my mum at the track in Sochi cheering me on!” As part of the Sochi 2014 Thank You Mum campaign, P&G is paying tribute to mums around the world through the Raising an Olympian film series.
