Teil 2: Das "Neue“ Europa auf der Grundlage des Selbstbestimmungsrechts?Ein Standpunkt von Wolfgang Effenberger.Das 2005 gegründete "Europäische Netzwerk Erinnerung und Solidarität" (ENRS) fördert „…den Dialog über die Geschichte Europas im 20. Jahrhundert, indem es Projekte wie Konferenzen, Workshops, Exkursionen und Ausstellungen veranstaltet“(1), heißt es auf der Homepage. Die monumentale Freiluftausstellung (9,45 m x 9,45 m x 9,30 m) "After the Great War. New Europe 1918-1923" (Nach dem Großen Krieg. Das „Neue“ Europa 1918-1923) hat ein Gesamtvolumen von 831 Kubikmetern. Auf 341 m2 sollte mit über 200 Archiv- und Multimediamaterialien - Bilder, Karten und Filme - im Rahmen einer fünfjährigen, internationalen Tournee ein komplexes und doch kohärentes Bild eines neuen Europas transportiert werden.Monumentale Freiluftausstellung, Bad Ischl, 19. August 2024 (Bild: Wolfgang Effenberger)Zum Auftakt der fünfjährigen Reise durch Europa unterstrich Prof. Dr. Jay Winter von der Yale-University, Mitglied des akademischen Beirates der Ausstellung, die mit der Ausstellung verbundene Absicht:„Die Geschichte des neuen Europas, das aus den Ruinen von 1914–18 entstand, wurde bisher nicht erzählt. Hier werden die Umbrüche, welche die Welt, in der wir heute leben, formten, auf eine eindrucksvolle Weise dokumentiert und aufgezeigt“.Wie schon im Teil 1 - "Herrschaftsinstrument Geschichtsmanipulation/ Wie in Europa konsequent ein pro-angloamerikanisches Geschichtsbild verankert wird" ausgeführt, haben die Auftraggeber dieser Ausstellung mit Unterstützung der Wissenschaftler des ENRS alles getan, um die Ursachen des Ersten Weltkriegs weiter „unter dem Deckel“ zu halten. In Versailles und in St. Germain wurden Deutschland und Österreich-Ungarn als die einzigen Schuldigen des Krieges für ewige Zeiten festgeschrieben. Der Erste Weltkrieg musste deshalb wohl auch nie aufgearbeitet werden. Das Ergebnis sehen wir heute:Fast alle Krisenherde verlaufen entlang der Verwerfungslinien vor und während des Ersten Weltkriegs: Balkan, Nordafrika, Türkei, Osteuropa ... bis nach Korea und China.Wir müssen nach den damaligen und heutigen "Global Playern“ und deren Motiven fragen. Es sind vermutlich die gleichen Kreise, während die angeblichen Schuldigen längst zu Asche geworden sind.Prof. Dr. Matthias Weber, der Vorsitzende des ENRS-Lenkungsausschusses, betonte anlässlich der Präsentation:...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/herrschaftsinstrument-geschichtsmanipulation-teil-2-von-wolfgang-effenberger/ Hosted on Acast.

Auch ohne direkte Hilfe aus den USA und Großbritannien gelang den dominierenden Historikern aus Polen und der Tschechei eine Ausstellung, die sich lückenlos in die Propaganda seit August 1914 einfügt und fortsetzt.Als Hauptziel der Wanderausstellung wird angegeben: „Das Ausmaß der politischen Veränderungen und ihre Auswirkungen auf die aktuelle Politik veranschaulichen und die verschiedenen nationalen Erinnerungen aufzeigen“ (2)Übergeordnetes Ziel der Freiluftausstellung "Nach dem Großen Krieg": Die Besucher sollen mehr über die Veränderungen erfahren, die der Erste Weltkrieg (1914-1918) mit sich brachte.

Does international sport foster capitalist economics and political liberalism among participating states? In this episode of the Transformative Podcast, Leslie Waters (University of Texas, El Paso) tells Rosamund Johnston (RECET) about the Olympics' “mixed” record in this regard. Barcelona 1992 introduced to global audiences a host of new European states. But the games also showcased the enduring legacy of state socialist sporting prowess. Lustration tore through some national Olympic committees while, in others, post-socialist elites used the institutions of international sport to rebrand as political liberals. Ultimately, Waters argues, sportswashing is not new, and was undertaken here by hosts Spain alongside countries with a not-so-distant socialist past. Leslie Waters is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Texas, El Paso. In addition, she is the managing editor of Hungarian Studies Review. Her first book, Borders on the Move: Territorial Change and Ethnic Cleansing in the Hungarian-Slovak Borderlands was published in 2020 by University of Rochester Press.

Current EU President von der Leyen has accepted the position of NATO head after previously turning this down, Matt believes this could be one of the most consequential moments in the worlds history. A member of the famous civil servants Albrecht family, President von der Leyen has had an incredibly successful career around youth development, a defensive defense department in Germany, and a career built around protecting children against sexual crimes. Having lineage from both Western Europe and Russian descent is important when you're discussing fragmented social groups divided through centuries of lineage wars. What will happen with the EU after her departure? She has an incredible bench of leaders including Florentine Hopmeier that have been building the new future of Europe. In a world where America is an unreliable partner, with foreign policy often driven by corruption, the New Europe built around the framework of the European Union and a European Army would, I believe, incredibly powerful tool of supporting Democratic values in the world in an authentic way. We're at a turning point and the structure of NATO provides a way to support defensive training of cyber individuals, for instance, that can provide a targeted approach to economic development on a one-by-one basis, and bring unity through economics and collaboation to places like Ukraine, the Donbas, and former Soviet Republics. Erasmus for cyber.  

In 2023, there are two Europes: the Europe of the museums and the beaches – and the real Europe as lived by its people. And that Europe has changed dramatically in recent decades.  The end of the Cold War collapsed many of the continent's political barriers. European unification brought countries as diverse as Ireland and Bulgaria under one umbrella. And more recently, a boom in migration, especially from the Islamic world, has changed Europe's demographics and brought a host of opportunities, challenges, and political changes. Today, the war in Ukraine has both created more solidarity among European nations and highlighted their big differences; and it has rattled the foundation of the region's economy.  On this episode of Playbook Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza talks with Ben Judah, author of “This Is Europe: The Way We Live Now,” about why this history means that you probably need to update your assumptions about Europe; and why it is that many American policymakers simply don't understand the realities that leaders like Emmanuel Macron, Rishi Sunak, and Giorgia Meloni have to live with.  Some of the reasons why will be familiar to Americans: immigration, crime, and the rise of right-wing populism. But according to Ben's new book, their implications for Europe are quite different from those here in the United States. And they open a whole tin of worms for the broader notion of the Western alliance. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Ben Judah is a journalist, academic and the author of "This is Europe: The Way We Live Now" Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

În aceast episod avem multe cifre și câteva explicații pentru comportamentele pe care le-am observat în jur de-a lungul ultimilor ani. Pe scurt, dezbatem cifre desprinse din studiului “Adevărul despre Noua Europă” realizat de către echipa McCann Group. Acestea sunt doar 2-3 dintre concluziile studiului: jumătate din Generația Z a României crede că în viitor va trebui să părăsească Europa pentru a avea o viață mai bună,  48% dintre români consideră că „egalitatea între țările europene” este cea mai importantă pentru viitorul Europei, mai mult decât „egalitatea între bogați și săraci”, și în timp ce 54% dintre europeni spun că Epoca de Aur a Europei a trecut, 60% dintre români cred că această perioadă se întâmplă chiar acum sau chiar urmează să vină.  Mai multe plus explicații în episod. Invitați: Ștefan Chirițescu, Chief Strategy Officer McCann Worldgroup Romania, și Mihai Trandafir, Managing Director al Universal McCann România. Moderează Marian Hurducaș.

"An important distinction exists between the politics of rules at which the EU is quite adept and the politics driven by events - which requires improvisation, risk-taking and alertness to opportunities". In Governing the EU in an Age of Division (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2022), Dalibor Roháč explains how a union built to reflect and export steadiness and consensus has failed to adapt to a decade of fast-moving financial, public health, military and energy crises. But, his book is neither anti-EU nor lacking in practical proposals. Although once an avowed eurosceptic, Roháč describes his new book as "unabashedly pro-European both in the sense that it wishes prosperity and peace for the European continent and in the sense that it sees the EU and much of its institutional architecture as important components of its success". A senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington and a research associate at the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies in Brussels, Roháč was educated at Charles University Prague, Oxford, George Mason University, and King's College London. He previously worked at the Cato Institute, the University of Buckingham, the Legatum Institute, and the Centre for the New Europe in Brussels. He contributes to journals and news outlets and co-hosts The Eastern Front podcast. *The author's book recommendations are: Global Discord: Values and Power in a Fractured World Order by Paul Tucker (Princeton University Press, 2022) and Ideological Fixation: From the Stone Age to Today's Culture Wars by Azar Gat (Oxford University Press, 2022).

Gender bias is everywhere, impacting how we view authority and power around the world. In fact, it's so pervasive—and potentially damaging to organizations—that our guest Mary Ann Sieghart wrote a book about it titled Authority Gap, which explores the critical issue of why women are often taken less seriously than men. This unconscious, double standard behavior affects the C Suite, boardrooms, and conference rooms alike—even the US Supreme Court and UK Parliament. We talk with Mary Ann – journalist, author, non-executive director, and television broadcaster – about why organizations and boards need to change gender bias culture and how to make the critical shift from the top down. It's a thought-provoking conversation well worth the listen for leaders of any gender.   If you want to hear more conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion, you might enjoy these other Redefiner episodes:  Power, Politics and Purpose: Leadership Lessons with Former PM of Australia Julia Gillard From Gillette to Jamba Juice: How to Lead Iconic Brands with Empathy, Purpose & Integrity with James D.

Prime Minister Pierre Eliot Trudeau once gave a press conference while visiting Washington, during which he famously said: "Living next to [the United States] is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt." For many of the countries in eastern Europe, this must also ring true, except that the elephant hasn't necessarily been the same bedfellow. At different points, particularly over the last 2 centuries, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, have all caused smaller neighbors to be very nervous––with just cause. With the current situation in Eastern Europe, as Ukraine and potentially other nations fight for their right to exist, it seems a timely moment to talk to Tomek Jankowski about the recent release of the 2nd edition of his book, Eastern Europe!: Everything You Need to Know about the History (and More) of a Region That Shaped Our World and Still Does, published by Academic Studies Press and New Europe Books. The book is a great hybrid – it can be read all the way through as a fast-paced and easily digestible tour through the history of a region most people in Western Europe and North America don't know well, or it can be used as a reference text; a reader can dip into it to find answers to questions. In our far ranging conversation, we discuss the common dynamics and cultural legacies that we can see today as a result of the historical reality that many eastern European countries share. National identity is a complex and contested subject, no more so than in Eastern European where some nations have only existed for short periods of time or, in other cases, national sovereignty has come and gone depending on the era. In addition to the invasion of Ukraine, first in 2014 and then this year, many other nations that share border with Russia - the Baltic states, Finland, and Moldova – are also feeling increasingly vulnerable. Others, such as Serbia and Hungary, are offering either official or popular support for Russian's aggression but it is a very contested issue. We discuss the roots of these various reactions. On the subject of Russia, Jankowski addresses why Putin has repeatedly framed the current war using the language and summoning the ghosts of the Soviet Union's role in WWII. Even 80 years on. He reminds the listener of Russian sacrifices and losses in that war, explains how they were remembered and understood in the Soviet Union under Stalin, Khrushchev and later leaders, and how they are remembered and understood in Russia today.

Prime Minister Pierre Eliot Trudeau once gave a press conference while visiting Washington, during which he famously said: "Living next to [the United States] is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant.

In this episode, The Pinsker Centre's Media Director, Georgia, interviewed Tim Ogden, the assistant editor of New Europe. Tim also writes for various other media outlets including The Spectator, focusing on post-Soviet Eurasia. They discuss the historical and geopolitical importance of the South Caucasus. Primarily, how the political climate has shifted in light of the Russo-Ukrainian war, and what this means for China's and Iran's influence in the region. 

On Sunday April 3rd, Hungarians decide whether to elect Viktor Orbán and his special form of eurosceptical "illiberal democracy" to a fourth consecutive term in office as war rages on their northeastern border. Since he returned to power in 2010, Orbán has established a new style of government that is hard to capture with standard political vocabulary. In previous podcasts, András Körösényi opted for plebiscitary leader democracy, Gábor Scheiring for authoritarian capitalism, and Tímea Drinóczi and Agnieszka Bień-Kacała for illiberal constitutionalism. Whatever term best explains it, Orbánism has attracted a fan base among national-conservatives globally: most prominently Donald Trump's intellectual outriders and Fox News host Tucker Carlson. In his new edition of Orbanland: Why Viktor Orbán's Hungary Matters (New Europe Books, 2022), Lasse Skytt - a Danish journalist who has lived in provincial Hungary since 2013 - investigates what is uniquely Hungarian about Orbanism and what is just a more politically efficient channelling of the global reaction against liberalism and globalisation. He writes: "Through understanding what is going on in Hungary - and why - perhaps we will be able to predict how the current polarisation might shape the future of both sides of the Atlantic''. *The authors' own book recommendations are: After Europe by Ivan Krastev (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017) and Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Adam Grant (WH Allen, 2021).

Host Llewellyn King discusses the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Europe with Suriya Jayanti, Managing Director of Eney, and Kostis Geropoulos, Energy and Russian Affairs Editor of New Europe.

Pojęcie metawersum (metaverse) nie jest nowe. Po raz pierwszy pojawiło się w książce pt. "Zamieć" (oryg. "Snow Crash"), której autorem jest Neal Stephenson (wyd. 1991). Bohaterowie książki przenosili się do alternatywnego, wirtualnego świata, w którym mogli żyć zupełnie jak w świecie rzeczywistym - spotykać się ze sobą, robić zakupy, chodzić na koncerty. W metawersum każdy ma swojego awatara, który niekoniecznie musi odwzorowywać jego właściciela, a może być wręcz zupełnie inną postacią, a nawet zwierzęciem czy przedmiotem. O metawersum zrobiło się głośno i słowo to usłyszało szersze grono osób podczas konferencji Facebook Connect w październiku 2021, podczas której Mark Zuckerberg ogłosił, że firma strategicznie skupia się na rozwoju tej technologii, czego dobitnym podkreśleniem ma być zmiana nazwy całego przedsiębiorstwa na Meta. Czym jest dokładnie metawersum? Czy to po prostu wirtualna rzeczywistość, jaką znamy? Co ma wspólnego z wizjami rodem z filmów Ready Player One albo Matrix? Czy prócz Facebooka także inne firmy przeniosą swoje biznesy do metaverse? To temat tego odcinka podcastu ITbiznes. Gospodarzami są Paweł Pilarczyk, redaktor naczelny ITbiznes oraz Ernest Frankowski, szef IT9. Gościem specjalnym odcinka jest Petros Psyllos, naukowiec, wynalazca, programista, innowator, jeden z 30 najlepszych europejskich innowatorów według Forbesa oraz jeden z 10 najzdolniejszych młodych wynalazców w Polsce. Jest laureatem New Europe 100 – listy największych innowatorów w Europie Środkowo–Wschodniej według Res Publica, Funduszu Wyszehradzkiego, Google i Financial Times. Na swoim koncie ma ponad 17 nagród głównych o zasięgu krajowym i międzynarodowym (Pittsburgh, Seattle, Paryż, Bruksela) w dziedzinie wynalazczości.

When the legendary Romulus killed his brother Remus and founded the city of Rome in 753 BCE, Plovdiv―today the second-largest city in Bulgaria―was thousands of years old. Indeed, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam are all are mere infants compared to Plovdiv. This is just one of the paradoxes that haunts and defines the New Europe, that part of Europe that was freed from Soviet bondage in 1989, and which is at once both much older than the modern Atlantic-facing power centers of Western Europe while also being much younger than them. Eastern Europe! (New Europe Books, 2021) is a brief and concise (but informative) introduction to Eastern Europe and its myriad customs and history. Even those knowledgeable about Western Europe often see Eastern Europe as terra incognito, with a sign on the border declaring “Here be monsters.” Tomek Jankowski's book is a gateway to understanding both what unites and separates Eastern Europeans from their Western brethren, and how this vital region has been shaped by but has also left its mark on Western Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. It is a reader-friendly guide to a region that is all too often mischaracterized as remote, insular, and superstitious. The book comprises three parts, The first sums up modern linguistic, geographic, and religious contours of Eastern Europe, while the second, main part delves into the region's history, from the earliest origins of Europe up to the end of the Cold War. Closing the book is a section that makes sense of geographical name references -- many cities, rivers, or regions have different names -- and also includes an "Eastern Europe by Numbers" feature that provides charts describing the populations, politics, and economies of the region today. Throughout are boxed-off anecdotes ("Useless Trivia") describing fascinating aspects of Eastern European history or culture.

When the legendary Romulus killed his brother Remus and founded the city of Rome in 753 BCE, Plovdiv―today the second-largest city in Bulgaria―was thousands of years old. Indeed, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam are all are mere infants compared to Plovdiv. This is just one of the paradoxes that haunts and defines the New Europe, that part of Europe that was freed from Soviet bondage in 1989, and which is at once both much older than the modern Atlantic-facing power centers of Western Europe while also being much younger than them. Eastern Europe! (New Europe Books, 2021) is a brief and concise (but informative) introduction to Eastern Europe and its myriad customs and history. Even those knowledgeable about Western Europe often see Eastern Europe as terra incognito, with a sign on the border declaring “Here be monsters.” Tomek Jankowski's book is a gateway to understanding both what unites and separates Eastern Europeans from their Western brethren, and how this vital region has been shaped by but has also left its mark on Western Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. It is a reader-friendly guide to a region that is all too often mischaracterized as remote, insular, and superstitious. The book comprises three parts, The first sums up modern linguistic, geographic, and religious contours of Eastern Europe, while the second, main part delves into the region's history, from the earliest origins of Europe up to the end of the Cold War.

By tradition, the first foreign visit by a new German chancellor is always to Paris. After the campaigning, the vote, the coalition building and the handover ceremonies, Olaf Scholz is at the French presidential palace. His host is about to get a lot busier. Emmanuel Macron is expected to hit the campaign trail for re-election next spring while France takes on the rotating presidency of the European Union.

A public lecture by Dr Peter Apor (Institute of History, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) as part of the '1918 and the New Europe' Lecture Series. This talk explores the ways of imagining and planning of possible futures that emerged in the postwar period of Europe in 1918. Elites, intellectuals and large proportions of European societies believed that it was possible to anticipate the future and foresee decisive trends of socio-developments, therefore it was possible to plan for even large systematic changes. However, the multiplication of ideas about what form that future would take suggests much uncertainty about the “future” of Europe itself and brings to the fore the deep layers of individual identities present at the time.

This public lecture will be presented by Professor Alexander Watson, Professor of History, Goldsmiths, University of London. The end of the First World War was a transformative moment for East-Central Europe. The historiography is dominated by the fraught peace deliberations to build a brave new world and the ethnic rivalry and ideological conflict within and between the newly forming nation states in 1919-23. This talk will focus on the earlier, neglected instant of Habsburg imperial collapse in October 1918. It will ask why, in a period usually defined by its violence and chaos, the revolutions that spread across the empire were so strangely bloodless, rapid and orderly. The talk explores the complex reasons for this swift transition of power and what it reveals about the potential for a more harmonious post-war world. This lecture is part of the 1918 and the New Europe lecture series.

This public lecture is presented by Mark Cornwall, Professor of European History, University of Southampton. This year marks the centenary of the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a monarchy whose disappearance from the European map transformed the history of the twentieth century. At a time when the UK is planning to exit from another multi-national European body, this talk will revisit the reasons why different peoples decided to exit the Habsburg Empire and create independent states at the end of the First World War. What expectations guided the idealists who created the new Czechoslovak and Yugoslav states? Certainly, in the years that followed, the hopes of many were quickly deflated as new borders and identities sprang up. It leads us to ask, in retrospect, to what extent the Habsburg Empire can be considered a ‘prison of peoples.' Or should we follow those like the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig who viewed the Habsburg Empire with great nostalgia, a cosmopolitan experiment with much to teach us? This lecture is part of the 1918 and the New Europe lecture series.
