Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dražen Petrovic was born on October 22, 1964, in Šibenik, Croatia. Learning basketball at an early age from his older brother, Aleksandar, Dražen was a natural. He began his professional career at the age of fifteen, playing for the national team, where he began his rise through the European circuit. Known as a skilled shooter, it was not unusual for him to score 40, 50, even 60 points during a single game. While playing for Yugoslavia in the Olympics, Dražen and his team finished with the bronze medal in the 1984 Summer Olympic Games and the silver in the ’88 Games. He later won silver in the ’92 Olympics while playing for Croatia. In 1986, Dražen was drafted in the third round (60th overall) by the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers. Deciding to play a few more years in Europe, he did not come to the US until the beginning of the 1989–1990 season. Dražen, along with a handful of other players, were part of the first groups of Europeans to break into the NBA, paving the way for future stars. After struggling with playing time in Portland, Dražen was traded to the New Jersey Nets in 1991. He would become a premier player and was considered one of the finest shooters in the NBA, averaging over 20 points a game in his two full seasons with the Nets. He was both a hero in the US as well as at home in Croatia, where his success had become a beacon of hope for his beleaguered countrymen who were enduring war in what is now the former Yugoslavia. In the summer of 1993, after his best season in the NBA, Dražen traveled to Poland to help his country qualify for the upcoming FIBA European Basketball Championship. Deciding against flying with his team back to Croatia, he instead chose to drive there with his girlfriend. On June 7, 1993, only a few months before his twenty-ninth birthday, Dražen Petrovic died in a traffic collision in Denkendorf, Germany. Thousands attended the funeral in his hometown, and the New Jersey Nets retired his number 3. Even though his career was cut short, his passion, determination, and spirit continue to influence not only his home country, but international basketball as a whole.

This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recent Croatian book about the basketball legend Drazen Petrovic with thorough insight into his celebrated international career on the both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. An in-depth career retrospective of the 'European Michael Jordan' with numerous untold details, unseen photos, and stories, both on and off court, with countless testimonies from basketball legends from all over the world. In Europe, he was known as the 'Mozart of Basketball' with dreams of coming to America and playing in the NBA. The NBA transformed 'Europe's best of the best' ingeniously - by letting the game come to him, the 'Dragon' turned into one of the most propulsive and precise shooting guards in the NBA and the first European to be considered a 'franchise player'. After Larry Bird's retirement in the fall of 1992, it was Drazen who turned into the brightest Caucasian star of the League, fighting each night to achieve his childhood dream, playing at the NBA All-Star game and thus paving the way for all Europeans. Wherever he would play, it would seem that basketball had arrived in town - the game would travel with him, making him one of the greatest ambassadors in the history of the game, with his influence stretching all over the globe. Although it's been almost a quarter of a century since his sudden, tragic death, his basketball star is still shining with the same brightness and is frequently remembered by legendary shooters such as Reggie Miller, Dale Ellis, and Stephen Curry, to name a few. With one of the most distinct non-American basketball books ever, the Croatian authors set an irreplaceable reference point for all future artistic works about the legendary Captain. "Shooting is a dying art and Drazen's shot was an art form." - Dale Ellis Reviews "An incredible book! Like most basketball fans, I thought I knew everything about Drazen, but Marjan Crnogaj and Vlado Radicevic created a true masterpiece and proved me wrong... I fully recommend it to everyone!" - Damjan Rudez, Orlando Magic "So that is why this book written by two basketball experts and fanatics, Marjan Crnogaj and Vlado Radicevic, a kind of transcendental experience for all readers, a new way to "spend time" with the legendary Captain. Two journalists, whose love for basketball is nearly at the same level as Drazen's, offer us another reminder of the fanatical basketball genius who we shouldn't and cannot forget." - Drazen Brajdic, Vecernji list

Download or read book Diplomatic Interference and the Law written by Paul Behrens and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diplomatic interference carries considerable potential for disruption. In this context, diplomats have been accused of insulting behaviour, the funding of political parties, incitement to terrorism and even attempts to topple the host government. Reactions can be harsh: expulsions are common and, occasionally, diplomatic relations are severed altogether. But an evaluation under international law faces challenges. Often enough, charges of interference are made when legitimate interests are involved – for instance, when diplomats criticise the human rights record of their hosts. In such cases, diplomats may be able to invoke grounds which are recognised under international law. On the basis of more than 300 cases of alleged diplomatic interference and the practice of about 100 States and territories, Diplomatic Interference and the Law provides an examination of the main areas in which charges of meddling have arisen – such as lobbying activities, contacts with the opposition, propaganda, the use of threats and insults and the granting of asylum. It analyses situations in which the sovereignty of the receiving State meets competing interests and offers solutions which avoid a conflict of norms. It concludes with useful advice for foreign offices and diplomatic agents and underlines the most efficient ways of dealing with situations of alleged interference. ''A book that is here to stay! It is essential reading for diplomats, academics, journalists, students and everyone who has an interest in international law and justice. Based on rigorous research, Paul Behrens' book offers new and thoughtful perspectives on the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which we drafted in 1961. It demonstrates just how important it is to have a lawyer of his impartiality and integrity if we want to reach peaceful and lasting solutions in international relations. Diplomatic Interference and the Law has the makings of an instant classic, and I have no doubt that it will pave the way for the sorely needed reform of diplomatic law.'' Dr Nelson Iriñiz Casás, Vice President of the Committee of the Whole of the Vienna Conference on Diplomatic Relations in 1961; former Head of the diplomatic missions of Uruguay to Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hong Kong, Denmark and Sweden; author of Corrupción en la ONU. ''Dr Behrens's book rigorously analyses the legal doctrine of non-interference by diplomats in their hosts' internal affairs, and how it may conflict with legal obligations to combat, for example, denial of self-determination and breaches of human rights. Exhaustively researched and in accessible language, with copious, often entertaining examples, it will be an indispensable guide for diplomats. "Behrens on diplomatic interference" will be cited as the definitive authority on the matter for the foreseeable future. I recommend this book to diplomats, lawyers and the general reader: they will all read and refer to it with profit and immense pleasure.'' Sir Brian Barder KCMG, BA (Cantab.), is a former British ambassador to Ethiopia, Bénin and Poland and High Commissioner to Nigeria and Australia. ''Paul Behrens' book breaks new ground. It is the first study to focus on the vexed question of diplomatic 'meddling' in the domestic affairs of the receiving State. It has heightened topicality as many Western governments in their concern to promote human rights and democracy urge their diplomats to be active in their support of civil society, particularly in countries with authoritarian governments. This book is replete with case studies covering the 50 years since the signature of the Vienna Convention and provides an invaluable pathway through this legal minefield.'' Sir Ivor Roberts KCMG FCIL, President of Trinity College, Oxford; Former British Ambassador to Yugoslavia, Ireland and Italy
