  • Introduction to Volume II Jay Winter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76653-1 - The Cambridge History of the First World War: Volume II: The State Edited by Jay Winter Excerpt More information Introduction to Volume II jay winter The First World War was a test of the legitimacy of the states which waged it. They had to provide the weapons and manpower needed to win the war, and at the same time ensure that the war effort did not reduce the population to hunger, misery and despair. With the major exception of Russia, the Allies passed the test of legitimacy, winning the war on the battlefields while maintaining adequate standards of living among the civilians whom the armies were purportedly defending. The Central Powers failed that test, and as a consequence, the major imperial powers in that alliance – Germany, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Turkey – collapsed. This volume tells the story of the First World War as a test of state and imperial power, but it also considers ways in which the structure of the state and its relationship to civil society were transformed by the conflict. Carl Schmitt defined the sovereign as he who has the right to declare a state of exception, a time when normal legal, bureaucratic and political rules are 1 suspended. The greatest, most catastrophic, state of exception to date in world history was the First World War, and the radical concentration of power in the hands of an array of executive and military leaders in wartime had lasting effects on the history of all combatant states thereafter. One implication of Schmitt’s view, which he developed in the immediate aftermath of the war, was the collapse of parliamentarianism as a way of waging war, either external or internal.

  • Enewsletter September 2015
    eNEWSLETTER EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA IN TEL AVIV September 2015 HAPPENING NOW Slovene Prime Minister Cerar: EU has caught the last train to resolve the refugee crisis Slovenia tackled the arrival of increased numbers of refugees and migrants well. Over 3,000 persons had arrived in the country by September 22. All were treated with dignity and received basic humanitarian assistance. At the moment, there are neither migrants nor refugees in Slovenia, as everyone but 23 asylum seekers proceeded to Austria and Germany after getting some rest. Even with a good migration policy, no country can withstand such migratory pressure for very long, which is why Slovenia has been urging for a long time that a common European policy be found. According to PM Cerar, the recent extraordinary EU summit is the last train to resolve the crisis. On the sidelines of the summit, PM Cerar received many commendations for Slovenia’s response when faced with the mass arrival of refugees and migrants. In the main discussion, he explicitly said that when resolving the issue, the EU must devote a lot of attention to the countries of origin and transit countries, and particularly mentioned the countries of the Western Balkans, as relations in the region are still very sensitive. He stressed that while the envisaged measures are short- to medium term, they signify the first major shift in resolving the issue. Although Slovenia is mainly considered a transit country, it will continue to act responsibly and strive for a comprehensive approach to resolving the issue at EU level in accordance with the principles of solidarity and humanitarianism.
