This article presents the concept and the framework, as well as the limitations in researching complex and dynamic social phenomena, such as minorities, inclusion, integration and participation. It stresses the social conditionality (based upon values and ideology) of research, research results, findings and interpretation(s), as well as the problem of funding that does not enable long- term, systematic and holistic research. Discussing social inclusion, integration, participation and democracy as the framework for the political participation of minorities, it presents a model of the social and political participation of minorities and their members as a tool for research and the interpretation of research results. Keywords: participation, democracy, inclusion – exclusion, integration, majority – majo- rity, rights and protection of national minorities. Vključevanje, sodelovanje in samouprava v pluralnih družbah: participacija narodnih manjšin v regiji SEI Pobuda za tematsko številko o politični participaciji narodnih manjšin je nastala na med- narodnem seminarju v Trstu leta 2016. Prispevek predstavlja zasnovo številke, njen okvir ter omejitve raziskovanja kompleksnih in dinamičnih družbenih pojavov, kot so narodne in druge manjšine, vključevanje, integracija in participacija. Poudari družbeno pogojenost raziskovanja, rezultatov, ugotovitev in interpretacij ter problem financiranja, ki ne omogoča celovitega, poglobljenega in dolgoročnega raziskovanja. Vključevanje, integracijo, družbeno in politično participacijo ter demokracijo predstavi kot kontekst politične participacije manjšin. Model družbene in politične participacije manjšin in njihovih pripadnikov opredeli kot orodje za raziskovanje politične participacije manjšin in interpretacijo raziskovalnih rezultatov. Ključne besede: participacija, demokracija, vključenost – izključenost, integracija, manjšina – večina, pravice in varstvo narodnih manjšin.

  • Slovenian Minority in Austria Tereza Smejkalová1
    Slovenian minority in Austria Tereza Smejkalová1 Abstract: This paper will analyse the issue of the Slovenian minority in Austria and focus on its history, development and contemporary concerns as well as attitudes on both sides of this disputed subject. It also stresses the importance of tolerance, democracy and the respect of people’s values, which should be part of the contemporary world and especially of the European Union. If the language and culture of a minority are not adequately respected, the European Union should be concerned and act accordingly. However, in the case of the Slovenian minority this does not occur. Keywords: Slovenia, minority, language policy, and bilingual signposts The autochthonous Slovenian ethnic minority, which is a remnant of former Slavic groups that populated the entire south and east of today’s Austria, now lives in the south Austrian provinces of Carinthia and Styria. Although this minority has had its rights guaranteed by two international treaties – the Saint Germain Peace Treaty of 1919 and the Austrian State Treaty of 1955 – and European conventions, Austria has failed to fully implement them. The Slovenian minority in Styria is not even officially recognised, while ethnic Slovenians in Carinthia have had to fight for every benefit that should have been taken for granted. This status is also indisputably linked to the fact that the former head of the Freedom Party, who has been criticised for his xenophobic and racist statements, is currently the governor of Carinthia. Jorg Haider used the so-called bilingual signpost dispute (“Ortstafelsturm”) in the pre-elections campaign in the summer of 2006 and his actions have dramatically worsened the tensions between the two neighbouring countries.

    1954, Addio Trieste... The Triestine Community of Melbourne Adriana Nelli A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University November 2000 -^27 2->v<^, \U6IL THESIS 994.5100451 NEL 30001007178181 Ne 1 li, Adriana 1954, addio Trieste— the Triestine community of MeIbourne I DECLARATION I hereby declare that this thesis is the product of my original work, including all translations from Italian and Triestine. An earlier form of Chapter 5 appeared in Robert Pascoe and Jarlath Ronayne, eds, The passeggiata of Exile: The Italian Story in Australia (Victoria University, Melbourne, 1998). Parts of my argument also appeared in 'L'esperienza migratoria triestina: L'identita' culturale e i suoi cambiamenti' in Gianfranco Cresciani, ed., Giuliano-Dalmati in Australia: Contributi e testimonianze per una storia (Associazione Giuliani nel Mondo, Trieste, 1999). Adriana Nelli ABSTRACT Triestine migration to Australia is the direct consequence of numerous disputations over the city's political boundaries in the immediate post- World War II period. As such the triestini themselves are not simply part of an overall migratory movement of Italians who took advantage of Australia's post-war immigration program, but their migration is also the reflection of an important period in the history of what today is known as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.. 1954 marked the beginning of a brief but intense migratory flow from the city of Trieste towards Australia. Following a prolonged period of Anglo-American administration, the city had been returned to Italian jurisdiction once more; and with the dismantling of the Allied caretaker government and the subsequent economic integration of Trieste into the Italian State, a climate of uncertainty and precariousness had left the Triestines psychologically disenchanted and discouraged.

    The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair Professor Jason Wittenberg Professor Jacob Citrin Professor Katerina Linos Spring 2015 The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe Copyright 2015 by Kimberly Ann Twist Abstract The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair As long as far-right parties { known chiefly for their vehement opposition to immigration { have competed in contemporary Western Europe, scholars and observers have been concerned about these parties' implications for liberal democracy. Many originally believed that far- right parties would fade away due to a lack of voter support and their isolation by mainstream parties. Since 1994, however, far-right parties have been included in 17 governing coalitions across Western Europe. What explains the switch from exclusion to inclusion in Europe, and what drives mainstream-right parties' decisions to include or exclude the far right from coalitions today? My argument is centered on the cost of far-right exclusion, in terms of both office and policy goals for the mainstream right. I argue, first, that the major mainstream parties of Western Europe initially maintained the exclusion of the far right because it was relatively costless: They could govern and achieve policy goals without the far right.

  • Uef-Spinelli Group
    UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.

  • Utilization of Communal Autonomy for Implementing Additional Bilingual Names of Populated Places and Streets in Carinthia (Austria)
    GEGN.2/2021/71/CRP.71 15 March 2021 English United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Second session New York, 3 to 7 May 2021 Item 12 of the provisional agenda * Geographical names as culture, heritage and identity, including indigenous, minority and regional languages and multilingual issues Utilization of communal autonomy for implementing additional bilingual names of populated places and streets in Carinthia (Austria) Submitted by Austria ** Summary An improved political climate between the German-speaking majority and the minority of Slovenes in the Austrian Province of Carinthia now allows the utilization of communal autonomy (a principle of the Constitution) to implement additional bilingual town signs and new bilingual street names. While that possibility always existed, implementation was not previously possible because the German-speaking majority in all bilingual communes but one would not have passed such a decision in favour of the minority. Now, the opportunity to implement bilingual place names in addition to the 164 defined in amendment No. 46/2011 to the National Minorities Act has been used by three communes in various ways. Experience has shown that the introduction of street names replacing bilingual names of populated places poses new challenges to bilingual communes. The recommendations of the Austrian Board on Geographical Names regarding the naming of urban traffic areas in 2017 (see E/CONF.105/21 and E/CONF.105/21/CRP.21) referred explicitly to the value of using field names and/or other traditional local names when applying new names. Those recommendations contributed to the conservation of traditional local place names of the minority as street names.
