  • The Typologies of Realism
    Chinese Journal of International Politics, Vol. 1, 2006, 109–134 doi:10.1093/cjip/pol006 The Typologies of Realism Liu Feng* and Zhang Ruizhuang Much more than a single theory, realism is a school of thought containing numerous related branches. In recent years an outpour of debate and exchange within the realist tradition has captured the attention of scholars. Many scholars have attempted to create schemes classifying the different branches and threads of realist thought that have emerged, while others have introduced a wealth of new terminology. Unfortunately, as a result of these Downloaded from efforts, realist concepts have become obfuscated, resulting in much confusion, and ultimately erecting a barrier to intellectual progress in the field. The goal of this article is to help remove this barrier by clarifying the criteria for classifying different approaches to realist thought and presenting a more coherent classification scheme that will enhance the understanding of the http://cjip.oxfordjournals.org/ relationship between various strands of realist thought. The Debate Regarding the Classification of Types of Realism Since the 1980s, a number of new schools of thought, including by guest on May 28, 2014 constructivism, critical theory and post-modernism, have critiqued, and ultimately come to challenge, traditional schools of international relations theory such as realism and liberalism. Yet, as a result of sharp differences with respect to ontology, epistemology and methodology, exchange between these new schools and the more traditional mainstream schools have been quite limited. In stark contrast with this dearth of scholarly exchange across schools of thought, the intellectual debate and exchange of ideas within the realist school have flowered, giving birth to many new branches and sub-branches of realist thought.

Through its competitions and activities to develop football, FIFA generates jobs and investment in infrastructure, promotes the values of equality and fairness and strengthens social bonds among people and countries. With such a great impact comes responsibility. FIFA recognises its obligation to uphold the inherent dignity and equal rights of everyone affected by its activities. This responsibility is enshrined in article 3 of the FIFA Statutes, according to which: FIFA is committed to respecting all internationally recognised human rights and shall strive to promote the protection of these rights. This human rights policy specifies FIFA’s statutory human rights commitment and outlines FIFA’s approach to its implementation in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Besides defining a standard of conduct for FIFA and all of its bodies and employees, this policy also reflects our expectations of a wide range of entities in their activities relating to FIFA, including all events organised by, or under the auspices of, FIFA.

Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu In 1926, Józef Piłsudski decided to take the power with the use of armed force. Ignacy Mościcki assumed the office of President. The August Novelization of 1926 became a temporary solution. One of the first decrees to be issued was the appointment of the General Armed Forces Inspector (Polish acronym: GISZ). Józef Piłsudski was appointed for this office by Ignacy Mościcki. In 1935, the April Constitution was adopted, limiting the authority of the Parliament. During the campaign for the new term of the Sejm in September 1930, the opposition leaders were arrested. Some of them were forced to emigrate. The Brest elections of November granted the Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government (BBWR) 56% of the seats in the Sejm and almost 68% in the Senate. It was a result of a violation of democratic principles. The founding of the Bereza Kartuska prison in the 30s became a symbol of the Sanation’s activities.

  • The Establishment of Opolski University in 1994 Was the Result Of
    The establishment of Opolski University in 1994 was the result of efforts and intellectual achievements of several generations of Opolski Silesia's inhabitants, who desired to have the highest-rank scholarly and educational institution in the European civilisation, the university. Opolski University invokes the tradition related to the attempts to create a Piast university by Duke George II of Brieg in Brzeg in the 16th century and by Prince Charles Habsburg in Nysa in the 17th century. It also looks back to the tradition of the 19th-century Landwirtschaftliche Akademie Proskau (Agricultural Academy of Prószków, 1847-1881) in the vicinity of Opole. It was, however, the combination of two local institutions of higher learning that led to the creation of Opolski University, namely, Wyższa Szkoła Pedagogiczna im. Powstańców Śląskich (Higher School of Pedagogy named after Silesian Insurgents) with its 44-year history (1950-1994), one of the best Polish teachers' colleges, and the local branch of Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski (Catholic University of Lublin) which had existed here since 1981 and was based on the several decades of experience of Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne (Higher Seminary) in Nysa with its academic staff made up of the members of the former Faculty of Theology at Uniwersytet Jana Kazimierza (John Casimir University in Lvov). The half century of academic Opole, whose emanation is Opolski University, was the common effort of oustanding intellectuals who arrived in Silesia from distant lands after WW2, chiefly from the lost eastern

The bases for the analysis are the principles of equality and achievement of religious pluralism.

My dear friend from when we were at school and from when we studied together at the University of Warsaw. His life is a perfect illustration of the experience of the generation of scholars who, despite the difficult times in which they worked, significantly enhanced our knowledge of the history of modern Europe. During wartime, as a young man, Janusz Tazbir was forced to inter- rupt his education and earn a living as a farm worker. This didn’t pre- vent him from using a rich body of literature (mainly classic authors of historical novels and great national poets), which, it should be added, wasn’t easily available during the war. After the conflict, he contin- ued his education, attending intensive secondary school courses. In the school year 1946/47 he was already in the final year at the Juliusz Słowacki School where he would astonish his friends and his teach- ers with his unusual erudition. It was early on during his school years that he decided to dedicate himself to the study of cultural history. In the spring of 1947, having received a secondary school certifi- cate, Tazbir began to study at the Institute of History of the Univer- sity of Warsaw. He completed his university education in less than four years, obtaining his Master’s degree under Professor Władysław Tomkiewicz.
