And to which extent have national citizenship policies beenг жд н тво affected by new immigration and by integration into thee U? The expanded and updated hinig edition of Citizenship Policies in the New Europe describes the citizenship laws and their Citizenship Policies in the historical backgrounds in the eU’s twelve new countries and the accession states Croatia / and Turkey.

They explore the multi-ethnic composition of American population; occasionally the investigations reveals more general trends or behavior of human populations, while stressing the specificities of each ethnic group. European researchers often focus on a selected ethnic group to document its contribution to America and stress the demographic or cultural loss that the old country endured because of their departure. The geographical studies of immigrants and their descendants that originated from Slovene lands were established as part of the geography department research objectives already under the leadership of Prof Dr.

  • Cultural Achievements of the Slovene Diaspora in Australia
    Between Europe and Australia Cultural Achievements of the Slovene Diaspora in Australia The first Slovene experiences of Australia, if one of the first documented visits of a Slovene to Australia is taken into consideration, go back into the colonial period. A certain Matija Kliner arrived to Australia sometime between 1857 and 1859, when he was working on the Austrian (Habsburg) military ship on its journey around the world. Rihard Poga~nik came to Australia in 1860, working as a navigation officer on one of the steamers owned by Lloyd's from Trieste (Trst). Anton Dolenc was during 1890 and 1891 on an Austrian military ship likewise making its way around the world and also stopped in Australia. He kept a diary about his journey on which he reported in the then Slovene papers. It is interesting, though, that none of these early Slovene visitors of Australia decided to stay for good, although the gold rush still swept the land and attracted many settlers from other European countries. According to some authors (Ogrin), the first Slovenes that actually migrated to Australia to settle there came in 191 0. The exact number of Slovenes that migrated before the Great War is difficult to ascertain, for they were citizens of the Austro­ Hungarian monarchy who declared themselves as Austrians. It is known that in Australia during the war broke out racial unrest against the migrants from South East Europe, i.e. including those from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy with Slovenes, who were, according to some data, under closer surveillance because of possible German affiliations and sympathies (Birsa).

  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.

Later, studies made during the »cold war era«, on the multiple development opportunities cross -bor - der co -operation enables, have shown ways to overcome political divisions and cultural diversity. Recently, the integration and disintegration processes within the frame of Europe, and in particular in the Western Balkans, have come into the spotlight of research in political geography. At the same time the multi -cul - tural aspects of border regions, the territorial identity and the ethnic components continue to play an important role in the studies of Slovenian political geographers.

  • Going Regional the Russian Way: the Eurasian Economic Union Between Instrumentalism and Global Social Appropriateness
    GR:EEN Working Paper Author: Diana Shendrikova, GR:EEN Visiting Researcher at ISPI – Italian Institute for international Political Studies Going regional the Russian way: The Eurasian Economic Union between instrumentalism and global social appropriateness Introduction In his A Russian idea (1946), the philosopher Alexander Berdyaev divided Russia’s history in five major epochs: “There is Kiev Russia, Russia during the Tatar invasion, Moscow Russia, Russia of Peter the Great, Soviet Russia. It is possible that there will be some other new Russia. Russia’s historical development has been catastrophic”1. Expanding Berdyaev’s periodization, the current stage of Russia’s history might be defined ‘Eurasian Russia’, at least to the extent that the country’s current foreign policy seems to be actually underpinned – if not utterly driven – by the willingness to embrace an epochal trend orienting its development. This sort of ‘manifest destiny’ hinges on the East/West divide that has constantly characterized the country’s identity – as well as the political agenda of its leaders, These powerful opposing pulls have often resulting in an ambition for a distinct ‘Russian way’, more or less consistently combined with the Eurasian perspective, bestowing on Russia the role of bridging between the Western European and Eastern cultures.2 1 Николай А.

A few facsimiles and transcriptions of somewhat similar contracts of sale2 have been published from time to time. But these, without ex- ception, have been given us with meager notes and partial translations. Again, though wakf documents are too numerous to mention, Arabic documents of another form of charitable donation, namely, the ,Radakah -to which our third document here belongs-are comparatively rare, and rarer still are they in connection with Coptic monasteries.
