Valérie Huyghe Woord vooraf the-sis-sen (thesiste, heeft gethesist): alle activiteit gerelateerd aan het schrijven van een proefschrift. De laatste twee jaar heb ik heel vaak “gethesist”. Soms met tegenzin, maar meestal met een enorme gedrevenheid om zoveel mogelijk universiteiten te laten deelnemen aan mijn onderzoek en vervolgens zo goed mogelijk de resultaten neer te pennen. Het thema trok me reeds in het begin heel erg aan wegens haar internationaal karakter. Mede door mijn Erasmusjaar in Italië heb ik gedurende mijn studies mijn horizonten verruimd en ben ik zeer geboeid door culturele verschillen in Europa (en wereldwijd). Bovendien is duurzaamheid en MVO een thema dat steeds meer aan belang wint, zeker in een stad als Gent. Mede hierdoor kon ik geboeid dagenlang “thesissen”. Vervolgens had ik graag enkele personen willen bedanken. Vooreerst bedank ik mijn promotor, Prof. Dr. Yves Fassin. Hij begeleidde me doorheen alle facetten van dit werkstuk: van inleiding tot opmerkingen, adviezen en antwoorden op de vele vragen.

  • Joint Submission to the Universal Periodic Review of Ukraine By
    Joint submission to the Universal Periodic Review of Ukraine by ARTICLE 19, Centre for Democracy and Rule of Law, Anti-corruption Research and Education Centre, Human Rights Information Centre, Human Rights Platform, and Regional Press Development Institute For consideration at the 28th Session of the Working Group in November 2017 30 March 2017 Executive Summary 1. The submitting organisations welcome the opportunity to contribute to the third cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Ukraine. This submission focuses on Ukraine’s compliance with its international human rights obligations, in particular in respect to the right to freedom of expression and information. 2. The submission notes positive progress in protecting these rights since Ukraine’s last review, related to reforms implemented by the Poroshenko government, in power since 2014 following popular protests and the fall of the Yanukovych government. 3. It addresses the following areas of concern: • Attacks on journalists, media workers and activists • Media pluralism • Restrictions on freedom of expression related to national security • Access to public information • Freedom of expression in Crimea and the Donbas Attacks on journalists, media workers and activists 4. Ukraine accepted recommendations from Austria, Chile and France on improving protections for journalists during their last UPR. There has been progress in this regard: the Institute for Mass Information reported a decline in the number of violations of journalistic rights, encompassing physical assaults, other forms of censorship and restricting access to information, from 496 to 264 during the period 2013-2016.1 This includes a significant decline in the number of assaults and beatings cases, from 97 instances in 2013 to 31 cases in 2016.

Social factors of failures have been divided into external and internal ones. The main external one lies in the imperialist politics of the Russian Federation exploiting the existence of the "homo sovieticus'' and a large Russian-speaking minority in Ukraine. Internal factors are divided into the ones related to identity problems of Ukrainian citizens (ethnic diversity and, again, "homo sovieticus") and those resulting from the weakness of political elites, which, for almost the past quarter of a century have not been able to lead to the creation of even the initial phase of a civil society in Ukraine. Keywords: system transformation, society, Ukraine 5 Introduction The objective of the paper is to show the main socially determined reasons for the hitherto failure of the transformation process in Ukraine.

  • Intellectuals' and Artists' Responses to the Ukraine
    When the Muses are not Silent: Intellectuals’ and Artists’ Responses to the Ukraine- Russia Conflict and post-Maidan Developments in Ukraine Convened by Yuliya Yurchuk (Prisma Ukraïna Visiting Fellow 2018) The workshop is dedicated to the question of the position of intellectuals in Ukraine in relation to the war in the east of the country and specifically to the role of historians, writers, and artists with regard to the production of discourses on the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the post-Maidan situation in Ukraine. After the end of the mass protests in 2014, new tendencies can be observed in the formation of new discourses in political, intellectual and artistic fields. Intellectuals and artists face a difficult and (not already) theoretical question on whether they can stay neutral and detached from turbulences that shatter the worlds they are living in. Many scholars, media specialists, writers and artists took open activist position and became active participants in the military conflict. Even if they do not participate directly in the battlefields many of them see their professional activities as weapons in the war which is often described as the “war of narratives”, “hybrid war,” or “information war”. The workshop brings together scholars of different disciplines who give fresh insights on the situation in Ukraine, from both national and local perspectives, taking into account different actors in the field of politics, academic history, media, and art. 9:30 – Welcome and Introduction (Yuliya Yurchuk, Andrii Portnov, Ewa Dąbrowska) 10:00 – 11:00 Session 1.
