Studying preambles not only helps us understand the phenomenon itself, but also teaches us more about constitutions and the constitutional systems in which they are situated.

Download or read book Memory Laws and Historical Justice written by Elazar Barkan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines state efforts to shape the public memory of past atrocities in the service of nationalist politics. This political engagement with the 'duty to remember', and the question of historical memory and identity politics, began as an effort to confront denialism with regard to the Holocaust, but now extends well beyond that framework, and has become a contentious subject in many countries. In exploring the politics of memory laws, a topic that has been overlooked in the largely legal analyses surrounding this phenomenon, this volume traces the spread of memory laws from their origins in Western Europe to their adoption by countries around the world. The work illustrates how memory laws have become a widespread tool of governments with a nationalist, majoritarian outlook. Indeed, as this volume illustrates, in countries that move from pluralism to majoritarianism, memory laws serve as a warning – a precursor to increasingly repressive, nationalist inclinations.

Download or read book National Identity in Serbia written by Vassilis Petsinis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autonomous province of Vojvodina in Serbia is little-known in the English-speaking world, even though it is a territory of high significance for the development of Serbian national identity. Vojvodina's multi-ethnic composition and historical experience has also encouraged the formation of a distinct regional identity. This book analyses the evolution of Vojvodina's identity over time and the unique pattern of ethnic relations in the province. Although approximately 25 ethnic communities live in Vojvodina, it is by no means a divided society. Intercultural cohabitation has been a living reality in the province for centuries and this largely accounts for the lack of ethnic conflict. Vassilis Petsinis explores Vojvodina's intercultural society and shows how this has facilitated the introduction of flexible and regionalized legal models for the management of ethnic relations in Serbia since the 2000s. He also discusses recent developments in the region, most notably the arrival of refugees from Syria and Iraq, and measures the impact that these changes have had on social stability and inter-group relations in the province.

Download or read book The Legal Status of Territories Subject to Administration by International Organisations written by Bernhard Knoll and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-12 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international community's practice of administering territories in post-conflict environments has raised important legal questions. Using Kosovo as a case study, Bernhard Knoll analyses the identity of the administrating UN organ, the ways in which the territories under consideration have acquired partial subjectivity in international law and the nature of legal obligations in the fiduciary exercise of transitional administration developed within the League of Nations' Mandate and the UN Trusteeship systems. Knoll discusses Kosovo's internal political and constitutional order and notes the absence of some of the characteristics normally found in liberal democracies, before proposing that the UN consolidates accountability guidelines related to the protection of human rights and the development of democratic standards should it engage in the transitional administration of territory.

Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of Russian and Indian Secularism written by Puranjay Vedi and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 2024-07-14 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secularism is a practice which entails building a ‘wall of separation’ between State and Religion. The general understanding is that this wall helps in prohibiting intervention from either side. However, since the State acts as a guardian of the public interest it may interfere in religious affairs, essentially, to dilute and de-circumscribe the limits of religious orthodoxy. It is, however, pertinent to note that some interventions in religious affairs are made even though there is no valid reason. One such example is the atheistic policy of the Russian state. The objective of this book is to compare the different models of secularism practiced in Russia and India respectively, and lay down some guiding principles which a secular State can adopt to rehabilitate a religion which was subjected to unwarranted State interventions.
Download or read book Citizenship after Yugoslavia written by Jo Shaw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive examination of the citizenship regimes of the new states that emerged out of the break up of Yugoslavia. It covers both the states that emerged out of the initial disintegration across 1991 and 1992 (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Macedonia), as well as those that have been formed recently through subsequent partitions (Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo). While citizenship has often been used as a tool of ethnic engineering to reinforce the position of the titular majority in many states, in other cases citizenship laws and practices have been liberalised as part of a wider political settlement intended to include minority communities more effectively in the political process. Meanwhile, frequent (re)definitions of these increasingly overlapping regimes still provoke conflicts among post-Yugoslav states. This volume shows how important it is for the field of citizenship studies to take into account the main changes in and varieties of citizenship regimes in the post-Yugoslav states, as a particular case of new state citizenship. At the same time, it seeks to show scholars of (post) Yugoslavia and the wider Balkans that the Yugoslav crisis, disintegration and wars as well as the current functioning of the new and old Balkan states, together with the process of their integration into the EU, cannot be fully understood without a deeper understanding of their citizenship regimes. This book was originally published as a special issue of Citizenship Studies.
