In Statu Nascendi is a peer-reviewed journal that aspires to be a world-class scholarly platform encompassing original academic research dedicated to the circle of Political Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Theory of International Relations, Foreign Policy, and the political Decision-making process. The journal investigates specific issues through a socio-cultural, philosophical, and anthropological approach to raise a new type of civic awareness about the complexity of contemporary crisis, instability, and warfare situations, where the ¿stage-of-becoming¿ plays a vital role. Issue 2021:2 comprises, amongst others, the following articles:· Culture as Understood in the Thought of Emmanuel Levinas and Hans-Georg Gadamer· Literature as a Modern Art (Letërsiasi art modern)· Aristotle¿s Phronesis and Socratic Skepticism: A Starting Point for the Development of Applied Ethics· The 30th Anniversary of the Visegrád Group (V4) Seen through the Perspective of Selected Integrationist Theories· Book Review: Conflict Resolution Beyond the International Relations Paradigm Evolving Designs as a Transformative Practice in Nagorno-Karabakh and Syria by Philip Gamaghelyan
Four thematically linked novellas that focus on obsessive relationships, stolen identities, and illusions of grandeur in the post-1989 Carpathian-Balkan region: ¿ An American expat in Europe appropriates the identity of a Romanian orphan in her desperate search for love. ¿ A dictator's daughter learns, while on a study trip to France, that her parents have been overthrown and are about to be executed. ¿ A minor character from a novel confronts her own insignificance. A wife announces to her husband of forty years that she's just been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The social sciences and humanities worldwide are discovering the necessity to self-critically reshape their theorizing: The first critique of social science theorizing calls for ¿globalizing¿, the second, parallel critique, for ¿de-colonizing¿ social thought. In his highly topical book, Michael Kuhn discusses· why and how the ¿globalization¿ of social science theorizing introduces thinking through nation state perspectives as an up-to-date methodological must; · how the ¿de-colonialization¿ of social science theorizing with the critique of Eurocentrism and its thinking through space paves the way for the worldwide implementation of thinking through nation-state views, transforming the social science world into a multiplicity of ¿provincialized¿ theories; · with which odd argumentations the ¿indigenization¿ of thought produces contributions to the ideological armament of the new states in the so-called 3rd world after their transformation into the very society system of the former colonizers;· how these indigenized theories make discourses among de-colonized theories a matter of which ¿provincialized¿ theory manages to rule the worldwide creation of theories;· how the masterminds of globally de-colonized thinking present imperial thought as guiding theories for mankind¿s thinking;· what templates for the turn from anti-capitalist towards nationalistic thinking Historical Materialism has provided, and · what consequences all this has for the social sciences as a voice in political debates about the world.
The Chinese Belt and Road Initiative has produced a flurry of activities both in the countries of the South Caucasus and in Russia. While mostly analyzed through the lens of geo-politics and geo-economics, there is new research emerging that represents more sophisticated approaches from a variety of social science disciplines. This volume, based on the AESC Annual Convention in December 2020, collects a sample of critical voices to study the effects of infrastructure projects on local livelihoods, on sustainable and environmentally sound development, transparency, and inclusiveness.
In September 2017, Dr Nasser Kurdy was stabbed in the neck while entering the grounds of his local mosque. This book tells the story of that attack and how Dr Kurdy came to forgive his attacker. It lays out the international historical events that brought Dr Kurdy to be in that place at that time and it follows events after the attack, combining his surgical knowledge with his experience of the UK criminal justice system as well as a series of reflective enquiries into the nature of forgiveness. The book is the timely and inspiring story of the optimism that can emerge from violence. It also includes contributions from a number of friends, family, and colleagues of Dr Kurdy, which illustrate the impact such an attack can have beyond that on a single individual.
