Politics And Concience In our addled times, the question of the relation between politics and morality may call forth, from some readers, a condescending smile, if not a peal of laughter. In our present-day political life, crimes and injustices have reached such a degree, that a reappraisal of the concept of politics from this perspective may be worth some reflection. The nature and purpose of politics has been variously defined from different angles and different times. A familiar saying tells us that politics is the art of the possible. But here it is simply a question of the demarcation between realistic politics and political dreaming — or rather, the setting of impossible goals. For a Machiavellian, for example, power not only means the dogma of poli­ tical functioning, but also a categorical imperative for international legal, as well as diplomatic, relations. This view of politics, even in our own brutal times, cannot reckon with general acceptance without further ado. There have also been times when the barbarous law, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” was accepted for human as well as for international relations: times when the victors treated their captives according to the maxim vae victis, with complete self-assurance. The mention of a few of these diverse usages, however, is not to be interpreted as an idle escape into the past, nor merely as reminiscences of a historic nature. They have been mentioned owing to their special application to our own present- day politics. For even today there are examples enough of well-known personalities in both political and cultural life who, in the name of peace and justice, gallantly step forward again and again to speak up for the preservation — indeed for the eter- nalization — of the discord in the world and the crying injustices practised against entire peoples. A typical representative of this attitude is a man who has the reputation of being a leading humanist in the field of literature and is at present a lecturer on international law at a German university. Ex cathedra he resolutely represents, for example, the “progressive” view that, once and for all, the thought of chang­ ing the status quo in the present world situation must be dismissed, even if the existing conditions are found to be unjust and intollerable by some sides. One is by no means at a loss to substantiate this Machiavellian conception. To this purpose, a large store of historical knowledge is brought forth to strengthen the thesis that in the course of time, some injustices in the past have had a very beneficial effect on the future. Upon this thesis is based the argument, that the present status quo could very likely set up international law norms for the future. The long and short of this attitude, with reference to the present world political problems, is clear. Individuals and peoples should, in our — ah, so progressive — times, reconcile themselves willy-nilly to their present lot, and every desire for the protection of inalienable national interests should be given up. According to this view, even the barbarous Russian-Bolshevik system, which holds every moral law in contempt, inasmuch as it tramples inalienable human rights and national interests underfoot, should be unquestioningly accepted as a kind of historically 1 necessitated natural phenomenon. Everything else is accounted for in terms of “historical evolution”, which will take care to polish off a few sharp edges to bring about, with time, a grand synthesis between freedom and slavery. To this, one can only exclaim: sancta simplicitas!, whereby, however, it is still an open question wheter these illuminated spirits are really as simple-minded as they appear, or whether they are consciously contributing to the annihilation of freedom and all the moral values of the Western world. With this question we have reached the medias res: in actual practice, how can politics and morality really be applied together? Is it not perhaps a hopeless undertaking even to consider politics and morality in the same context? In view of this sceptical question, it can only be hoped that not all who have preserved a moral conscience and are inspired, precisely in the field of politics, to see ethical values realized, have died out. One must not necessarily be a Kantian to believe in the categorical imperative of the Koenigsberg philosopher, nor must he belong to the neo-Kantians to acknowledge himself, just as before, a believer in the validity for moral values, precisely in the field of “practical reason”. Even if one feels called upon to disown the existence of absolute and univer­ sally valid moral laws, one should not, even in our “modern times”, shut one’s eyes to the knowledge, that in certain periods of history and in the realm of entire cultural circles, which, at times, embraced whole continents, there are binding moral laws and ethical values, the realization of which, is, or at least, should be, the highest law of any politics. At one and the same time this assertion represents the only fitting definition for all political activity and designates, from a historical point of view, the final aim of all politics. To reject this basic law means to deny the value and meaning of every human society, to renounce the values that make life meaning­ ful, and to open all doors and gates to a bottomless nihilism. According to con­ temporary reference books, the latter is also called existentialism. No matter how few of those who believe in politics as a calling may be left in our times, the day will yet come when politics will return

The mass protests against the rigged elections to the State Duma, which took place in many cities across Russia in December 2011 were a surprise for the authorities and for ordinary citizens alike. For many years political street protests were not broadly popular in Russia; the last opposition protests that drew tens of thou- sands of participants happened at the turn of the 1990s, i.e. before the fall of the Soviet Union. It was not only the particularly high number of participants in the street protests that was unex- pected, but also the behaviour of the public at the different events. One of the distinguishing features of the December protests was the home made placards carried by participants. These were sometimes ironic, caustic or absurd, but at all times quite unlike typical forms of po- litical campaigning. It has been repeatedly noted both in journalistic articles and comments made by the government and participants themselves that the majority of protesters are not activists affiliated to any politi- cal movement, but rather people who have previ- ously avoided protests of this kind and who are not especially interested in politics. Unexpect- edly, a new and powerful force has emerged onto the political arena, about which little is known. It is evident that the majority of protesters oppose the current government, but that is not to say that Mikhail Alekseevsky they therefore belong to the parties or move- State Republic Centre ments that have been organising the protests.

  • 1 Protest Public As a Social Actor
    Protest Public as a Social Actor: from mosaic of "issue-based groups" to the unity of "the other world possible" Abstract This paper is an attempt to address a methodological problem of defining the origin, the structure and social foundations of massive and lasting peaceful street protests, that had appeared spontaneously and almost simultaneously at the beginning of new millennia in the countries with very different level of public wealth and socio-political structure - from US and UK to Turkey, Brazil and Bulgaria, lately involving similar protest events in Russia and Ukraine. Been driven by different reasons, addressing different targets, those mass street actions have a lot of common features, that allow to consider them as one phenomena, which we define as a new type of social engagement, distinguished both from civil society organizations and social movements. This type of engagement is characterized by formation and activities of protesting publics, which can have deep and lasting impact on both society and policy process, including various fields of social policy, by transforming the public sphere through changing dominating public discourses. Such activities are largely based on common demand of ethical nature, that can bring together many diverse social groups and mini-publics, focused on issue-based protests. Paper is exploring theoretical foundations of perceiving self-organized publics as collective social actors with their unique features and capacities. It also seeks to develop a conceptual frame for protest events analysis as manifestations of protest publics, which allows to identify the type of specific public assembled for each event , its “qualities of actorness” and its transformative potential.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will afind good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
