  • Peak Level Unions and Their Struggles for Political Relevance In
    Strategic Choices during System Change: Peak Level Unions and Their Struggles for Political Relevance In Post-Socialist Slovenia, Serbia and Poland By Tibor Mesman A Doctoral Dissertation Submitted to the Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy, and International Relations in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Dorothee Bohle CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary May 2012 ii CEU eTD Collection Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Tibor Mesman CEU eTD Collection iii iv CEU eTD Collection Abstract In this dissertation I explore the conditions of successful struggle for political relevance of ‘inherited’ national level trade unions in Slovenia (ZSSS) compared to the less successful cases in Poland (OPZZ) and the least successful Serbian union (SSS) during the period of system change from socialism (1987/8-1993/4) and assess the implications of these struggles for trade union trajectories until 2010. The project develops a critical juncture - path-dependency argument as a theoretical framework for understanding the various trajectories of these three peak level unions. I demonstrate that unions’ own critical choices and strategies of organizational self-empowerment during the system change period have mattered in shaping organizational trajectories. I argue that unions were able to become politically relevant if and only if they had overcome specific ‘inherited’ organizational vulnerabilities, achieved autonomy, and adapted to and increased their own capacities in the new environment, and exercised an autonomous voice in influencing politics and policy-making.

  • Rusinow Leads
    Rusinow Leads Rusinow leads are used ONLY on the first trick against a suit contract, in a suit which partner has not bid. Late in the hand, or in partner's suit, the highest should be led from touching, honors. A denies the king except with AK doubletons. K from AK - third hand should signal with the qxx or a doubleton. Q from KQ. Third hand should signal with the Ace or Jack, but not with a small doubleton if dummy has three or four small. Declarer may duck, and partner continues into his AJ. J from QJ; 10 from J10; 9 from 109. With more than two honors in sequence, the second highest is still led (Q from KQJ, etc) followed by a lower one in most cases. If the touching honors to be led are a doubleton, the top card should be led. Then when you play the second honor, partner will know you have no more in a suit. This system was developed because of the ambiguity of the lead of a K from AK or a K from KQ by Sydney Rusinow. For a longer explanation, see below: The principle of leading the second-ranking of touching honors, devised by Sydney Rusinow, and used by him, Philip Abramson and Simon Rossant in the thirties. These leads were unaccountably barred in ACBL tournaments until 1964. Ever since whist was "the game", the standard lead from either Ace-King or King-Queen has been the king. This ambiguity often gives third hand an unsolvable problem. Here is only one example of many: North West 652 East K J104 South ? Against a suit contract by South, West leads the king of spades.

The Intervenor then “passes,” if his/her suit is Clubs, “corrects” to 2D if Diamonds is the Minor suit, or bids 2H to show both Major suits from which the Advancer, then chooses. 2. 2C = Clubs and one of the Majors. The Advancer either “passes,” else bids 2H which the Intervenor then either accepts, else “corrects” to 2S. 3. 2D = Diamonds and one of the Majors. The Advancer either “passes,” else bids 2H which the Intervenor then either accepts, else “corrects” to 2S. 4. 2H = Natural bid in Hearts. The accepted length is 5-cards with about 3 winning tricks, else a 6-card or longer holding. The Advancer “passes.” 5. 2S = Natural bid in Spades. The accepted length is 5-cards with about 3 winning tricks, else a 6-card or longer holding. The Advancer “passes.” 6. 2-NT = Both Minor suits.
