The topic was Independence and the meeting was part of the celebrations surrounding Poland’s one hundred-year anniver- sary of rebirth following one hundred and twenty-three years under foreign rule. Neigh- boring states were celebrating the gift of full sovereignty similarly and scholars were look- ing back at the achievements and missed opportunities of countries in the region. Our meeting brought some 75 scholars from 13 countries together to share their re- search and exchange ideas at conference facilities of the Old Library of Warsaw University. Several roundtables organized together with partner institutions provided broad views of the challenges that faced the region following independence. Maintaining that independence within a regional security organization was the topic of a panel on “NATO’s Brussels Summit: U.S., German, and Russian Perspectives”, which was co-organized by the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies at Garmisch- Partenkirchen (GCMC), and co-hosted by the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) in Warsaw. Thanks go to Dr. Andrew A.

    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.

    The Voting Systems in the Council of the EU and the Bundesrat – What Do They Tell Us About European Federalism? by Jacek Czaputowicz and Marcin Kleinowski

    ISSN: 2036-5438 The voting systems in the Council of the EU and the Bundesrat – What do they tell us about European Federalism? by Jacek Czaputowicz and Marcin Kleinowski Perspectives on Federalism, Vol. 10, issue 1, 2018 Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E -174 Abstract The Treaty of Lisbon introduced a new system of weighted votes in the Council, which radically departs from the principles on which the distribution of votes between the Member States of the EU was based for more than half a century. At the same time, the system of double majority is fundamentally different from the assumptions on which voting systems in federal states are based, including in the Bundesrat. Systems used in federal states are usually based on a compromise between the equality of states, and the equality of citizens. Consequently, in the Nice system, smaller Member States in the EU had relatively greater power compared to their populations than smaller federal units in the German Bundesrat. The results presented in this paper indicate that the Lisbon system of voting in the Council differs significantly from voting systems in federal states. Key-words Council of the European Union, Bundesrat, voting power, Nice voting system, double majority voting system Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E -175 1. Introduction Is the European Union evolving towards a federal system? Evidence speaking for the European Union being similar to a federation includes: EU institutions taking over competences previously held by states; the principle of supremacy of European law and its direct effect in national law; and cooperation between federal institutions and the constituent units in executing various tasks.I What speaks against this thesis is: the lack of a European constitution; of the right to impose taxes; as well as the fact that states retain their membership in international organisations, such as the UN.

  • Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality

    Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality

    Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality 2020 POLICY STUDY Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality Aleksandre Kvakhadze POLICY STUDY 2020 Introduction Since declaring its independence, the Georgian state has been struggling with the integration of its ethnic minorities. The regions densely populated by ethnic Azerbaijanis and Armenians have been passively involved in the social and political processes in Georgia. The combination of the legacy of Soviet ‘national policy,’ an ineffective educational system and socio-economic problems hinder the integration of these regions. This paper will be devoted to the Gardabani municipality, an administrative entity with a significant Azerbaijani population. Several factors have determined the choice of this region for this study. Firstly, geographically speaking, the region represents a suburban area of the cities of Tbilisi and Rustavi. It can be considered as a part of ‘greater Tbilisi/Rustavi’ or a ‘Tbilisi-Rustavi agglomeration.’ Secondly, despite its proximity to Georgia’s political and economic center, the Azerbaijani community in this region has been leading a parallel life and is disconnected from the country’s social and political dynamics. Simultaneously, very little is known about this region and very little research has been carried out on its multi-ethnic population. Unlike the neighboring Marneuli municipality, which has been receiving increasing attention from academia, the media and the non-governmental sector, the Azerbaijani population in Garbadani remains neglected by academic and non-governmental bodies. For instance, there is no comprehensive academic research on the linguistic, historical, ethnologic, social and religious parameters of Azerbaijanis in Gardabani. The absence of reliable works leads to myths and uncertainties regarding Georgia’s Azerbaijanis.
  • First Russian Schools for Muslims in Tbilisi (Georgia)

    First Russian Schools for Muslims in Tbilisi (Georgia)

    First Russian Schools for Muslims in Tbilisi (Georgia) Nani Gelovani Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Faculty of Humanities, Institute of Oriental Studies, Associated professor; Georgia ABSTRACT The city of Tbilisi (its pre-1936 international designation – Tiflis), which became a center of Russian Administration in the Caucasus region since 1801, a residence of the Caucasus Viceroy (Namestnik) since 1845 and an administrative center of Tbilisi Governorate since 1846, was gradually established as an administrative, trade and industrial center of the South Caucasus (Transcaucasia). Through Tbilisi, Russia established diplomatic and trade relations with Eastern countries. In 1847-1849, the first Russian schools for Muslims in the South Caucasus, separately for Shiites and Sunnis, were opened in Tbilisi specifically, where the Caucasus Viceroy could closely supervise “the progress and success of this establishment”. This first experience of Muslim schools was a success: the population, who refrained from sending their children to parochial schools for religious reasons, showed sympathy to them. Opening educational establishments for Muslims controlled by the Tsarist Administration in the South Caucasus can be explained by Russia’s interest to promote the swift adaptation of the Muslims of the South Caucasus to Russian legal and cultural environment and by the need for training clerks among local residents to work at the Administration. The present report will consider the history of the first Russian Muslim schools in the South Caucasus, in Tbilisi in particular (charter, educational program, teaching aids, pedagogical staff, privileges for the graduates, estimate, etc.) based on the materials found in the archival documents and periodicals. Key words: Archival documents; Education; Russian Empire; South Caucasus; Tbilisi.
