Nicolae Bălcescu, Bucharest 010041, Romania; [email protected] (M.N.); [email protected] (B.S.); [email protected] (E.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-21-305-3844 Received: 1 October 2019; Accepted: 4 November 2019; Published: 6 November 2019 Abstract: This paper presents a geographical perspective of the phenomena of housing activism and land-use conflicts per se. It focuses not only on their spatial manifestations, but also on the complexity of the perceived meanings, values, and the power relationships among the involved parties, rooting into activist geographies. The research methodology was based on two complementary methods: frame analysis to observe the emergence, sources of land-use conflicts, and nature of the relationships between the actors involved; and discourse analysis to explore the social interactions and power relations between structures and practices related to housing activism. For a more inclusive perspective on the sources of land-use conflicts and housing activism initiatives in Bucharest, we used a combination and triangulation of various sources and modes of data collection. Compared with other European cities with active civic engagement, this phenomenon is still emerging in Bucharest. Although conflicts are numerous, the civic initiatives are still fragmented and fail to generate a vision and implementable public policy. However, multiple assaults on urban spaces (green areas, historically protected areas) have resulted in more actions and actors (individual or organised) becoming civically engaged.

    RSP • No. 57 • 2018: 25-40 R S P ORIGINAL PAPER The General Election in 20th of May 1990 in the County of Constanța Marian Zidaru* Abstract: The first free election in Romania, after the coup d’état in 1989 represented a crucial moment in the Romanian history. The results of these first post communist free elections can not be analyses and explain without the presentation of the socio-economic and historical contextual which is specific both the forty five years of the communist dictatorship, and the five months of Post-Communism. The paper “The general election in 20th of May 1990 in the county of Constanta” which is my proposal for this conference contains a presentation in a chronological succession of the main events during the coup d’état in 22nd December 1989, and after the coup d’état till the election of may 20th 1990. I also included some juridical and political analysis and consideration about the election law system. On the basis of the documents from the personal archive of the honorable judge Dan Iulian Drăgan, a member of County Election Bureau, and his oral testimony, I succeded to have a clear image of the development of the 20th may 1990 election in the county of Constanta. Regarding the speculation of election fiddle, during the election, I can state that according to documents, there were some attempts, but the final result was not very much influenced. I also try to answer to the question why the electorate gave a massive vote to the National Salvation Front?

    Notes 1 Global Racisms and Racism in Russia: An Introduction 1. All translations from Russian and German are by the author unless otherwise indicated. 2. Sik became a prisoner of war of the Russians during World War One. He chose to stay in Russia after being released, joined the Soviet Communist Party in 1920, and lived as an Hungarian émigré in the Soviet Union until 1945, when he returned to Hungary. He later served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary from 1958 to 1961. 3. http://www.sova-center.ru/en/. 2 Race and Racism in the Russian Past 1. The film featured the following song by Pavel German: ‘Before all enemies are known / While at least one of them is still alive / Every honest and simple Soviet citizen / Has to be an NKVD officer (chekist). / Our fortresses are ever stronger / The chekists of today / Are all the 170 million / Of my Fatherland’s Patriots!’ 2. Stalin composed his Marksizm i natsional’nyi vopros [Marxism and the Nationalities Question] in opposition to Otto Bauer’s Die Nationalitätenfrage und die Sozialdemokratie. Bauer emphasized that ‘commonality of des- tiny’ defines national character (aus Schicksalsgemeinschaft erwachsende Charaktergemeinschaft), and he pointed to ‘commonality of origin’ and ‘natural heredity’ as the important factors in this regard. He nevertheless maintained that ‘cultural commonality’ is the factor which defines the repro- duction of national differences. Bauer’s position may be defined as cultural racism in the language used by some contemporary scholars of racism. 3 Race, Racialization and Racism: A New Theoretical Framework 1. Although only Kant’s Kritik der Urteilskraft is cited here, two different English translations are chosen to use, namely, Pluhar’s and the most recent Cambridge University Press edition.

The narrative of classical Eurasianism in the 1920s was developed to explain that Western civilisation was not superior to other civilisations. Eurasia is the middle continent between other parts of Europe and Asia. There are historical, geographical, and cultural impetuses here which push nations to different forms of association. However, the dissolution of the USSR gave birth to new ideologies and political theories of Eurasianism. The most positive one was extensively developed by the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbaev. Today, we witness the fourth stage of the development of Eurasianism.
