  • Romania's Stance in the Issue of the Refugees Crisis. Preliminary
    Working Paper Romania’s Stance in the Issue of the Refugees Crisis. Preliminary Observations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revised edition Mihai SEBE March 2016 Bucharest, Romania 2 Romania’s stance in the issue of the Refugees crisis. Preliminary observations1 Mihai SEBE2, PhD Bucharest, Romania Abstract The present paper is a part of a broader European debate concerning the rise and risks of the refugees crisis in the midst of a European Union tormented by an economic, social and security crisis. The paper will present a brief overview of the Romanian political landscape and the scars that the debate regarding the refugee crisis left, using open sources. At the EU level we are currently dealing not only with a massive influx of refugees from war torn countries such as Syria and Iraq but also with an increasing number of economic migrants that tend to be mixed together by an overly passionate public opinion and political class. It is important in my opinion to have this distinct approach in order to try identifying the necessary policies. For the first time after the end of a Second World War, we are assisting to a huge migratory flux in Europe, with persons coming from foreign cultural areas that have triggered a wave of fears and potential conflicts due to difficulties of cultural integration, all on the background of older migrant issues in Western Europe. Taking into account the fact that migration issues seem to be yet ever more present in contemporary European democracies, this phenomenon is likely to draw further scientific attention, and an increased need for nationally localized studies, such this one on Romania.

Prihvaćeno / accepted 10. 3. 2017. DOI: 10.21066/carcl.libri.2016-05(02).0003 This study places Croatian Tales of Long Ago (1916) by Ivana Brlić- Mažuranić in the context of international literature by discussing “little people” in children’s fictional texts. “Worlds of little people” (Lynch-Brown and Tomlinson 2005) reveal conceptual blending at a linguistic, cultural and semantic level visible in the creation of new emergent structures. Brlić- Mažuranić’s combining of seemingly incompatible concepts (Fauconnier and Turner 2002) from various aspects of Slavic and Croatian mythologies as input spaces in the process of conceptual integration demonstrates the ability of little people to transcend boundaries and allows for the creation of new and unique cultures and lexica. Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić’s Croatian Tales of Long Ago, populated with tiny characters such as Malik Tintilinić, is a superb example of an original, adaptable world comparable to those created by Swift, Andersen, Tolkien, Baum, Barrie, Norton, Dr. Seuss or Dahl. Consequently, the conceptual integration at work in Ivana Brlić- Mažuranić’s original Croatian mythology has resulted in the empowerment and enchantment of readers from long ago to the present day. Keywords: conceptual blending, culture, little people, modern fantasy, mythology Introduction In 1991 Roald Dahl’s final bookThe Minpins described Little Billy surrounded by “more than twenty small windows all around where [he] was sitting, and from 358 Ž.

April 2019 Bericht von Friedrich Püttmann, Berlin Rumänien: Mitglied der Europäischen Union seit 2007, Heimat von 20 Millionen EU-Bürgerinnen und -Bürgern, auf dem Weg zur Unterzeichnung des Schengen-Abkommens. Im ersten Halbjahr 2019 besetzt der junge EU-Mitgliedstaat erstmals den Vorsitz des Rats der Europäischen Union (auch Ministerrat genannt). Gleichzeitig hat das Land der einstigen Ceauşescu-Diktatur mit einer Instabilität der Regierung, institutionellen Konflikten und wachsendem Protest sowohl auf den Straßen als auch aus Brüssel zu kämpfen. Die Anklage: Korruption und Verstöße gegen Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Erst Mitte April 2019 suspendierten die europäischen Sozialdemokraten Rumäniens regierende Sozialdemokratische Partei (PSD) als Teil der S&D-Fraktion im Europa-Parlament. Unter dem vorbestraften Vorsitzenden der PSD und der rumänischen Abgeordnetenkammer, Liviu Dragnea, ist eine Gesetzesänderung in Planung, die Amtsmissbrauch nur noch eingeschränkt strafbar machen soll, so die Begründung. Hinzu kommt Bukarests aktive Beeinträchtigung der Kandidatur der rumänischen Korruptions- bekämpferin Laura Kövesi für den Chefposten der geplanten EU-Staatsanwaltschaft, welche ebenfalls auf scharfe Kritik seitens des Kommissions-Vizepräsidenten und sozialdemokratischen
