Profanarea simbolicii UE sau nu?

Profanarea simbolicii UE sau nu? Recent trecând prin preajma sediul Partidului Democrat am auzit o fîlfîitură care mi-a atras atenția. Mi-am îndreptat vederea - erau drapelele Moldovei arborate deolaltă cu cele ale Uniunii Europene. Trebuie să recunoaștem ele se privesc perfect pe fundalul signel PDM. Trandafiri roșii pe fon albastru combinate cu drapelul albastru UE este o asortare cu adevărat perfectă de culori care inspiră încredere și pace. Aici însă ne oprim, precum fiecare istorie conține și un DAR. Precum a zis bine cineva, totul ce este mentionat pînă la dar este doar umplutură de aceia vom trece la partea de după DAR.

Revolution? orange, spring, tweeter - Are those revolutions?

In this post I will present a cross theoretical analysis of the concept of political revolution. For this purpose I will try to shed light on how different theories explain the causality and dialectics of revolutionary movement.

According to Marx, the revolution is a sharp transition from one form of economic organization to a new one, in which new types of social relations are established. In this context, the transformation of the prod

What drives ethnic conflicts forward?

Which school of though better explains the causes of ethnic violence? Introduction The nature of ethnic violence has been always generating debates among scholars coming from the fields of comparative politics and international relations. The question discussed in this post will contrast several types of arguments, the rationalist argument that sees the ethnic conflict as a rational result of group and individual behavior (Steinberg 1981; Glazer & Moynihan 1975) with the premordialist argument that observe the ethnic violence as an inevitable clash based on innate antagonisms of contending groups (Smith 1986; Kaplan 1993), the constructivist, and the symbolist politics. I will try to project which of the theory provides a better answer to the questions: whether conflicts among different ethnicities are natural phenomena or and what are the factors that trigger the escalation of ethnic violence? Rational choice theory perceives ethnic conflict
