Youth Study Southeast Europe 2018 / 2019 the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung YOUTH STUDY SOUTHEAST EUROPE 2018 / 2019 THE FRIEDRICH-EBERT-STIFTUNG The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is the oldest political foundation in Germany, with a rich tradition in social democracy dating back to 1925. The work of our political foundation revolves around the core ideas and values of social democracy – freedom, justice and solidarity. This is what binds us to the principles of social democ- racy and free trade unions. With our international network of offices in more than 100 countries, we support a policy for peaceful cooperation and human rights, promote the establishment and consolidation of democratic, social and constitutional structures and work as pioneers for free trade unions and a strong civil society. We are actively involved in promoting a social, democratic and competitive Europe in the process of European integration. YOUTH STUDIES SOUTHEAST EUROPE 2018/2019: “FES Youth Studies Southeast Europe 2018/2019” is an interna- tional youth research project carried out simultaneously in ten countries in Southeast Europe: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. The main objective of the surveys has been to identify, describe and analyse attitudes of young people and patterns of behaviour in contemporary society. The data was collected in early 2018 from more than 10,000 respondents aged 14–29 in the above-mentioned countries who participated in the survey. A broad range of issues were ad- dressed, including young peoples’ experiences and aspirations in different realms of life, such as education, employment, political participation, family relationships, leisure and use of information and communications technology, but also their values, attitudes and beliefs. Findings are presented in ten national and one regional study and its accompanying policy papers, which have been published in both English and the respective national languages.

  • Quantitative Easing Was the Father of Millennial Socialism
    Quantitative easing was the father of millennial socialism ft.com/content/cbed81fc-3b56-11e9-9988-28303f70fcff 1 mars 2019 Federal Reserve’s bid to stave off depression sowed the seeds of a generational revolt David McWilliams Former Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke’s quantitative easing scheme spawned a new generation of socialists, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez © Bloomberg/Getty Is Ben Bernanke the father of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Not in the literal sense, obviously, but in the philosophical and political sense. As we mark the 10th anniversary of the bull market, it is worth considering whether the efforts of the US Federal Reserve, under Mr Bernanke’s leadership, to avoid 1930s-style debt deflation ended up spawning a new generation of socialists, such as the freshman Congresswoman Ms Ocasio-Cortez, in the home of global capitalism. Mr Bernanke’s unorthodox “cash for trash” scheme, otherwise known as quantitative easing, drove up asset prices and bailed out baby boomers at the profound political cost of pricing out millennials from that most divisive of asset markets, property. This has left the former comfortable, but the latter with a fragile stake in the society they are supposed to build. As we look towards the 2020 US presidential election, could Ms Ocasio-Cortez’s leftwing politics become the anthem of choice for America’s millennials? 1/6 But before we look forward, it is worth going back a bit. The 2008 crash itself didn’t destroy wealth, but rather revealed how much wealth had already been destroyed by poor decisions taken in the boom.

The thesis may not be copied in any form without the author’s permission. © Stefan Jovic, 2020 ID number: 2703943619 Reykjavik, Iceland, 2020 4 Abstract The goal of this thesis is to shed light on the process of top-down Europeanization imposed on EU candidate states. As the current candidate state for EU membership, Montenegro has most of its negotiation chapters opened, and is generally praised by the EU for the efforts taken in order to satisfy the accession criteria. However, adoption of certain policies, such as pro-LGBT policies seems to be entirely done in order to meet the criteria for EU membership, as the experiences of local activists, opinion of local politicians and the homophobic views of the local population do not match the progressive views of the policies introduced. By analysing the implementation of those changes, we see pure Europeanization at work. This way of implementing changes can have a positive effect on the LGBT community in Montenegro, as it provides a shelter for a part of the population that would not have the same rights without the Europeanization of such laws. However, adopting policies that significantly shape the society solely due to EU membership may reveal trust issues between the public and the government, and reveal that EU values are more important than the Montenegrin ones.

  • Beyond Bernie
    Beyond Bernie Last November, in one of the most hostile rental markets in the world, in a city where a majority of residents are renters, a local rent control ordinance was defeated on the ballot by a margin of 38 percent. In the year running up to Election Day, organizers, including our own local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), were faced with a question of how to build the power of tenants in order to win things like rent control. In the beginning, we pursued a two- pronged approach. We held meetings with tenants from specific developments and talked concretely about the issues they encountered there. Additionally, we engaged in door-to-door canvassing (of renters and homeowners alike) to gather the signatures needed to get rent control on the ballot. However, once the measure, Santa Cruz Measure M, was on the ballot, the temporal demands of the election subsumed all other organizing efforts. Canvassing for votes was king. Looking back, we think this experience may tell us a lot about why we were ultimately unable to pass rent control and build tenant power more broadly. At the national level, the DSA is now facing a similar issue in our approach to another electoral project: the presidential candidacy of avowed democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. Since 2016, membership in the DSA has exploded, from 5,500 to over 55,000 dues-paying members, grabbing mainstream attention and leading some to start referring to it as the “resurgent left.” Much of DSA’s growth can be attributed to the popularity of Senator Bernie Sanders’ first presidential campaign, which began in the spring of 2015.

ISSN 1334-0131 (online) WORKING PAPERS W-45 Delayed Credit Recovery in Croatia: Supply or Demand Driven? Mirna Dumičić and Igor Ljubaj Zagreb, January 2017 ABSTRACT V Abstract In order to enhance the understanding of credit cycle dy- namics in Croatia we explore the evolution of credit demand and credit supply of corporates and households in Croatia and identify their determinants based on the switching regression framework. These results are crosschecked by the insights from the bank lending survey. The conducted analysis shows there are both supply and demand-side factors that limit the possibility of intensifying household and corporate credit ac- tivity. However, a more pronounced drag seems to be coming from subdued demand, which is greatly influenced by the un- favourable domestic macroeconomic environment and particu- larly GDP developments. This suggests that it is not unusual that credit recovery is still missing, but also confirms that the scope for monetary policy to stimulate lending is limited.
