Full textAbstract:
In questo elaborato finale verrà tradotta un parte del libro “Sulle questioni macedoni “ di Krste P.Misirkov che rappresenta un evento di grandissima importanza storica per la realizzazione di una lingua letteraria macedone.
In questo libro Misirkov determina il suo programma nazionale ed esamina la questione della lingua letteraria macedone.
l libro rappresenta le opinioni di uno dei più grandi attivisti macedoni della coscienza nazionale e soprattutto della necessità di completare l'affermazione nazionale e la liberazione dei macedoni come un popolo separato, con una particolare importanza del ruolo della codificazione della lingua macedone letteraria.
Questo libro non è mai stato tradotto in italiano, per cui è stata una sfida piacevole quella che
mi sono posta. Non è stato facile raggiungere tale obbiettivo, ma è stato molto interessante
osservare come non solo le diverse radici alle quali appartengono la lingua italiana (latino) e la
lingua macedone (slavo) cambiano, ma la differente cultura provoca molte volte l’impossibilità di
rappresentare nel miglior modo possibile i sentimenti, le immagini, i paesaggi e quant’altro nella
lingua di arrivo.
Ho cercato di esprimere al meglio i temi, i concetti, i messaggi del libro tradotto e spero di
essere riuscita di rendere chiare le idee.

D'AGOSTINI, MONICA. "Re Filippo V, i Macedoni e le leghe greche (229-217 a.C.)." Doctoral thesis, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10280/39108.
Full textAbstract:
Sebbene Filippo V sia uno dei monarchi antichi meglio attestati nella tradizione letteraria ed epigrafica, la complessità della sua regalità sfugge ancora alla ricerca storica moderna, che finora ha preferito concentrarsi sulla coeva espansione romana nel Mediterraneo. Dopo la vecchia monografia di Walbank (1940; 19602), la tesi costituisce dunque la prima analisi politica della basileia di Filippo V e della sua relazione con le leghe greche alla fine del III secolo a.C. La ricerca collega all'orizzonte politico e istituzionale ellenistico i primi 12 anni di governo di Filippo V (229-217 a.C.) ripercorrendo le fasi dell’azione politica del re: una prima fase riguarda principalmente il ruolo di Filippo durante la reggenza e il regno di Antigono Dosone; una seconda fase esplora tra il 222 e il 220 l'inizio della guerra con gli Etoli; una terza sezione è dedicata all'apertura di un fronte navale nel 219 e al successo della campagna etolica. La quarta parte indaga sull'impegno del 218 in Peloponneso di Filippo, mentre l'ultima sezione approfondisce l’azione diplomatica e militare di Filippo nel 217 e gli accordi di pace a Naupatto. Anche grazie alla buona documentazione epigrafica e letteraria, Filippo V è un paradigma unico per ridefinire il significato della regalità ellenistica. Considerando i suoi legami dinastici, la politica giudiziaria, le innovazioni militari, le relazioni diplomatiche e le riforme amministrative prima dell'intervento romano in Oriente, la ricerca tenta di fornire una prima descrizione e un'analisi della monarchia macedone matura e della sua relazione con il mondo greco; cerca inoltre di stabilire le caratteristiche della regalità ellenistica macedone nel momento dell’incontro con la potenza romana, nel tentativo di distinguere le sue peculiarità nel III secolo rispetto a quelle dell'età di Alessandro, a prescindere dalle deformazioni della propaganda di parte romana.Although Philip V is one of the best epigraphically and literarily attested ancient monarchs, the structure, performance, and the rationale of his kingship still elude modern scholarship, which has hitherto preferred to focus on the coeval Roman expansion in the Mediterranean. The following is the first political analysis of the ancient Macedonian basileia and its relation with the Greek Leagues at the end of the 3rd century BC. The research connects the first 12 years of rule of Philip V (229-217 BC.) to the Hellenistic political and institutional horizon, and distinguishes five chronological stages of Philip’s reign according to the political agency of the king: an early stage between Demetrios II’s death in 229 and 222, mainly concerned with Philip’s role during Antigonos Doson’s rule and the ascension to the throne; a second phase between 222 and 220 exploring the beginning of the war with the Aitolians; a third section devoted to the opening of a naval front in 219 and the successful Aitolian campaign. Part four investigates Philip’s 218 Peloponnesian engagement, while the last section expands on Philip’s 217 diplomatic and military agency and the peace agreements in Naupactos. Considering his dynastic ties, court politics, military innovations, diplomatic relations and administrative reforms before the Roman intervention in the East, the work attempts to provide a source-based first description and analysis of the mature Macedonian monarchy and its relation with the Greek world. It tries to establish the features of the Mediterranean kingship encountered by the Roman expansion, in the attempt to distinguish those attested in 3rd century Macedonia from those inferred from Alexander’s age evidence, and from the Roman biased propaganda.

Full textAbstract:
En la presente tesis se analizan una serie de episodios que permiten caracterizar el elemento de la irreligiosidad de Alejandro. La imagen transmitida tradicionalmente por la historiografía ha sido la de un rey piadoso y de mentalidad abierta. Sin embargo, hay ciertos episodios que podrían matizar o redibujar ese retrato. En esta tesis, se busca examinar estos casos y también abordar desde otras perspectivas algunos otros mucho más tratados por los investigadores. Este conjunto heterogéneo de casos de estudio se caracterizan por presentar algún elemento de impiedad o comportamiento religioso anómalo. En cada uno de ellos, se busca trazar paralelismos con otros ejemplos de la tradición griega, examinando los puntos de convergencia y divergencia entre ellos, y juzgando la valoración que habría recibido por sus contemporáneos. De la misma manera, hay que valorar la autenticidad de cada episodio. En este aspecto resulta especialmente importante discernir la fuente originaria tras ella, ya que aporta muchas pistas acerca de su introducción en la tradición y las posibles motivaciones del autor. A partir de un análisis conjunto de episodios similares durante la carrera del rey macedonio podremos constatar su valor y significado dentro de la religiosidad personal de Alejandro, sus políticas y la propaganda oficial. Así se puede visualizar si se percibe una evolución o una continuidad a lo largo del reinado de este monarca. Complementariamente, también se confrontan con ocasiones en que los autores de esos posibles casos de impiedad o sacrilegio eran unos terceros para poder dar una imagen completa del factor de la irreligiosidad en la carrera de Alejandro. De esta manera, es posible generar una renovada imagen del conquistador macedonio y compararla con la que emergía a partir de esos ejemplos modélicos sobre su expresión religiosa, aportando nuevos matices que permiten obtener una representación más poliédrica de uno de los personajes más tratados por los historiadores.The present thesis analyses a series of episodes that allows for characterizing the element of irreligiosity in Alexander. The image transmitted traditionally by the historiography has been that of a pious and open-minded king. Nevertheless, there are certain episodes that could elaborate o redraw this portrait. This thesis tries to examine these cases and also deal with some more frequented ones by the scholars from another point of view. This heterogenic group of study cases are characterized by presenting some elements of impiety or anomalous religious behaviour. Every one of them are compared with other examples from the Greek tradition, examining the existing points of converge and divergence, and judging the value that could have wielded by his contemporaries. In the same way, we have to evaluate the authenticity of every episode. In this aspect is especially important to discern the original source behind it because this provides us with a lot of clues about his introduction in the tradition and the possible motivations of the author. Based on this joint analysis of similar episodes along the Macedon king’s career, we can establish his value and meaning within the personal religiosity of Alexander, his policies and the official propaganda. Thus, we can visualize if there was evolution or continuity along the reign of this monarch. Additionally, the cases are confronted with some occasions when the perpetrators were a third party in order to provide a complete image of the irreligiosity factor in Alexander’s life. This way, it is possible to generate an updated image of the Macedon conqueror and compared it with the one emerged by those model examples about his religious expression. This would offered new shades that allow us to get a more polyhedral representation of one of the most studied character by the historians.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the extent to which decentralisation in the Republic of Macedonia between 2005 and 2012 has been effective in reducing ethnic inequalities that exacerbate social divisions and can lead to conflict. Guided by the concept of horizontal inequalities, it identifies the factors which influenced the decision to devolve responsibilities to the municipalities after 2001. It examines the particular institutional design that Macedonian decentralisation took, and demonstrates how its use of local power-sharing mechanisms was intended to address the concerns of the Albanian and Macedonian communities simultaneously. This thesis takes an integrative approach to studying the political, administrative, and fiscal dimensions of decentralisation's implementation, and considers whether the reform has indeed contributed to the reduction of inequalities between Macedonia's ethnic groups. Where decentralisation's potential has not been reached, obstacles to its successful implementation are identified. While decentralisation alone may be unable to address all of the grievances raised by the Albanian community prior to 2001, this thesis argues that the reform has the potential to address many of the horizontal inequalities that were responsible for raising inter-ethnic tensions during the 1990s. However, decentralisation in Macedonia between 2005 and 2012 has only been partial, and advances in the administrative and political aspects of the reform have been undermined by limited progress in its fiscal dimension. Attempts to solve self-determination conflicts through decentralisation will fail if local self-governance exists only in form but not in substance.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis is concerned with the social changes a group of young female engineers experience in The Republic of Macedonia during the break-up of Yugoslavia. From my studies, I infer that this group of informants is representative of those most affected by their country's changes: they represent the young, urban educated elite that is influenced most directly by the political changes of independent Macedonia. The work has two major aims. First, it provides a detailed ethnography of the search by my informants to understand and define the new circumstances of The Republic of Macedonia. I conclude that the Fall of Yugoslavia and Macedonia's 'forced' independence created a vacuum of meaning for its population. The second objective of this work is to examine critically a group of young female engineers and to contrast other works written about Macedonia and the Balkan region which primarily emphasised continuity and tradition. With their aim of recognition by Europe, Macedonia tries to establish itself as a European country. Consumerism and body culture emphasise this. However, some Macedonians seek to retain aspects of the recent socialist past. Macedonia, during my research, was still governed by a democratically elected socialist party that adhered to socialist values. In their search for what Macedonia could be, the past, the world of the grandparents' generation and the village and the differences between the Albanian and Slavic populations gain new importance. This search is introducing some previous members of the elite, female engineers of Yugoslavia, to a new idea of what Macedonia could be, while incorporating elements of a modem, global society with Macedonia's socialist and pre-socialist peasant past. This group of informants shows that Macedonia is in the midst of creating a new, and rather different, identity for itself which incorporates socialist ideology, a peasant past and a modern European dream.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the South East European policy of the European Union, which promoted the prospect of a &lsquoUnited Europe&rsquo
. After the end of the bipolar world system, the ultimate aim of the East European countries has been the integration into the European Union. The transition and integration process, that they initiated in accordance with this aim, made up the basis of their relations with the Union. Nevertheless, the South East European countries, which became a sub-region within East Europe, joined to the process much later, due to the wars and instability, caused by ethnic conflicts within the region. The initiatives, established by the European Union for the region, did not come with the desired outcomes. However, after the Kosovo War, the Union established a deeper framework, with the mechanisms of the Stability Pact and the Stabilization and Association Process. On the other hand, the September-11 events, which led to the gradual withdrawal of the United States from the region, handed the responsibility to the Union. As a result of this, the Union accelerated the Stabilization and Association Process, thus torpedoed the Stability Pact. Within this context, the Republic of Macedonia became a significant component of this accelerated process. Especially, with the Stabilization and Association Agreement, came into force in April 2004, and the Mission Concordia, which is the first-ever military operation the Union, the European Union aroused its interest to the country. Consequently, within the regional framework, the Republic of Macedonia made up the essence of the Union&rsquo
s strategy in the region.

Full textAbstract:
"Excêntricos e modernos: o Museo de Macedonio e suas afinidades literárias" trata da ambiguidade entre, de um lado, a constatação de uma tendência ao descolamento da obra desse autor e, de outro, o movimento que busca vinculá-la como precursora de diversos "modos de fazer" literários e distintas correntes estéticas. Tem por objetivo identificar a presença de alguma trama que vincule outros escritores latino-americanos e suas obras às concepções presentes no Museo a partir de elementos que se consolidaram no correr da Modernidade. Para isso, inicialmente acompanha momentos dos percursos de escrita, publicação e recepção dessa obra, em seguida apresenta elementos característicos da sua proposta literária que permitem algum vínculo com abordagens teóricas e conceituais, assim como com outras produções literárias difundidas no contexto de sua publicação e, por fim, sugere uma possível rede de afinidades, a partir do diálogo com obras do uruguaio Felisberto Hernández, do chileno Juan Emar e do equatoriano Pablo Palácio, seus contemporâneos. Examina o lugar que o Museo de la Novela de la Eterna ocupa na produção de Macedonio Fernández, o modo como esse romance - tido como radicalmente singular em seu contexto - atravessa o século XX em distintas atualizações e, também, o modo como, na condição de "novela futura", essa obra é reclamada como precursora por distintas gerações, sem conexão com sua própria época. Como resultado, identifica nesse romance uma dimensão que, ao se aderir a diversas conexões, evidencia o caráter não ortodoxo e multifacetado da obra, o qual se presta a constante atualização; situa o Museo de la Novela de la Eterna em lugar central no conjunto da obra do escritor, na medida em que condensa balizas conceituais que nortearam sua produção intelectual: um corpo fragmentado e ideias que, em movimentos rápidos ou interrompidos, remetem a ele e às relações que o envolvem - personagens, leitores, críticos -, os limites do gênero e noções de obra literária; e evidencia a trama que vincula os escritores convidados para o diálogo e suas obras a partir de pontos de contato que lhes conferem estruturas similares: a desarticulação da função de autoria e a figura de personagens-autores cuja autoridade sobre o texto é minimizada e cujo potencial de contenção se mostra contraditório, na medida em que constroem narrativas fragmentárias e dispersivas.

Full textAbstract:
The present thesis focuses on Classical and Hellenistic figured tombstones from ancient Macedonia, mainly free-standing stelai and reliefs intended to be incorporated into larger architectural settings. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive study which looks at the tombstones both as part of the sculptural art and painting of Macedonia, as well as a strand of the sources available for the writing of ancient Macedonian social history. The geographical area and the chronological period under study are defined in the Introduction, where prior literature on the subject is also briefly overviewed. The material is then first looked at according to period, discussion focusing on chronological and stylistic groupings, as well as on the norms regarding selfrepresentation: pre-Classical tombstones eCho 2), tombstones of the 5th C. BC eCho 3), tombstones of the 4th C. BC eCho 4), tombstones of the 3rd_l st C. Be eCho 5). The archaeological .context of the tombstones and the evidence provided by their inscriptions are discussed in Ch. 6. The Appendix provides an overview ofthe state of cemeteries excavations in Macedonia up to now, while the tombstones under study are described in detail in the Catalogue.

Oustinova-Stjepanovic, G. "Performative failure among Islamic mystics in urban Macedonia." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1334591/.
Full textAbstract:
Based on the field research among practitioners of mystical Islam in urban Macedonia, this thesis examines a modality of failure to perform one's religion. Having initiated a reform of their ancestral religious tradition, these practitioners experienced a peculiar dissatisfaction with their own accomplishments as Sufi saints. Self-critically, aspirants observed that their flair to perform rituals and to commit to spiritual exercises and techniques of ethical self-fashioning fell far short of the prototypical examples of the Prophet Muhammed and the ancient Sufis. Theological books about the lives of these figures captured people's intellectual imagination. These texts did not, however, yield concrete performative technologies that would enable aspirants to succeed in replicating the spiritual ontologies of the dead Muslim saints in the contemporary nation-state of Macedonia. People were convinced that their spiritual advancement depended on the enactment of theological propositions in formal rituals and interpersonal relations, yet they felt hindered by not knowing the 'correct' experiential methods of ritual training and ethical self-work (autopoesis) and by their physical disengagement from religious practices. Aspirants described themselves as incomplete mystics and proclaimed that they had failed to become intensely religious beings. Through detailed ethnography, this thesis explores people's experiences of performative failure and illuminates the themes of theological learning, ritual founderings, unavailability of bodies for rituals and religious training, and the search for the lost method of self-transformation into a saint. Performative failure is defined as a postponement of achievement under infelicitous historical conditions. Drawing on a variety of anthropological theories and comparative ethnographic cases, this thesis aims to contribute new ethnographic material to the anthropology of religion and to articulate critical insights into the difficulties of turning theology into performances. Furthermore, the thesis examines the possibility of failure that hovers over people's reflexive efforts to actualize their ambitions and desires and argues that failure is a productive analytical concept for the understanding of aspirations and barriers to excellence.

O presente trabalho se propõe a analisar a experimentação narrativa proposta por Macedonio Fernández no Museu de la Novela de la Eterna, além de estabelecer conexões entre o romance e algumas outras obras do autor, em especial as dedicadas a uma reflexão sobre o trabalho de composição e a linguagem utilizada. Partimos do pressuposto da relevância do autor e de sua obra para a literatura latino-americana, posto que ao contestar os modelos de romance vigentes, instaura uma busca sobre a forma que parte do contexto das vanguardas e perpassa a literatura atual. Defendemos o Museo de la Novela como obra máxima dentro na produção literária macedoniana, já que se projeta como possível realização da proposta estética construída pelo autor argentino ao longo de sua vida. Pretendemos aqui refletir sobre os mecanismos de construção do ficcional dentro do romance, com base nas teorias desenvolvidas pelo autor, mas também observar a posição ocupada por Macedonio Fernández nas vanguardas argentinas.

Full textAbstract:
@La question qui est à l'origine de cette étude sur l'oeuvre de l'écrivain argentin Macedonio Fernandez (1874-1952) est celle de la lecture, c'est-à-dire la relation entre l'écrit et le lecteur. A ce sujet, les écrits de Macedonio Fernandez présentent deux particularités. En premier lieu, à l'encontre des théories qui conçoivent la lecture en termes d'interaction ou coopération (par exemple, la théorie de la réception ou celle d'U. Eco), Macedonio Fernandez pose cette relation en termes de disjonction et déliaison : un écrit sans lecteur et un lecteur sans écrit. En deuxième lieu, à rebours des théories qui conçoivent la littérature en termes de communication, réduisant les dispositifs d'énonciation un point d'émission et un point de réception du message sans division ni défaillance, Macedonio Fernandez pense la littérature comme un rendez-vous perpétuellement raté entre un auteur qui n'écrit pas et un lecteur qui ne lit pas. Autant dire que la théorie de la lecture est ici étroitement associée à une remise en question de la notion de sujet. . .

Full textAbstract:
La politique d’élargissement de l’Union européenne vis-à-vis des pays de l’Europe de l’Est suscite l’intérêt des pays membres envers ces nouveaux adhérents potentiels. Le rôle des médias est particulièrement important dans le processus de transition de ces sociétés. La nécessité d’une démocratisation de l’information et des politiques de communication dans ce nouveau contexte est une des questions les plus étudiées, car la liberté des médias montre le degré de démocratie. Alors qu’autrefois, l’analyse des effets des médias était privilégiée, on scrute aujourd’hui les fondements d’une communication démocratique en s’interrogeant sur la nouvelle configuration du jeu politique sous l’emprise des médias ; sur l’élargissement de l’espace public du fait de l’essor de l’information et de la communication ; sur le statut culturel des médias ; sur l’usage des TIC. La diversité des approches et le foisonnement des angles d’étude peuvent donner l’impression d’un savoir en mosaïque qui souligne la complexité des relations entre les producteurs et les récepteurs de l’information. Ce travail complexe, qui touche à tous les éléments de l’information macédonienne, propose aux lecteurs francophones l’accès à un sujet méconnu. Les principaux objectifs de la présente étude consistent d'une part en la présentation du cadre complet de la sphère médiatique macédonienne et d'autre part en l’analyse des principales questions en lien avec les enjeux politiques et sociaux. L’une des questions centrales de cette étude est ainsi de mettre en lumière les relations complexes qui s’effectuent à travers les médias entre les politiques et les différentes communautés. Toutes ces questions forment le rayonnement médiatique d’un pays, pilier de son existence culturelle, élément essentiel de sa puissance politique et nationaleThe enlargement policy of the European Union concerning the countries of Eastern Europe has triggered considerable interest from the member states for these potential new adherents. The role of media is particularly important in the transition process of these countries. The need for democratization of information and communication policies in this new context is one of the most analyzed issues since media freedom shows the degree of democracy. Despite the fact that in the past it was proven that the analysis of the media effect was privileged, today the foundations of the democratic communication are studied by questioning the new configuration of the political set under the influence of the media, as well as the expansion of the public space in terms of the development of information and communication. In addition, the cultural status of the media is also being inspected along with the use of ICT. The diversity of approaches and the proliferation of angles of study can give the impression of a mosaic knowledge that emphasizes the complexity of the relations between producers and receivers of information. This complex task, which involves all elements of the Macedonian information, proposes to French speaking readers a lesser known subject. The main objectives of this study consist in the presentation of a complete framework of the Macedonian media and also in the analysis of the main problems related to the political and social issues. One of the central points of this study is to highlight the complex relations between politics and communities that are realized through the media. All these subjects create the media influence in one country, which is a pillar of its cultural life, an essential element of its political power and a fundamental factor of its national greatness

ABSTRACT Date: June 4th, 2010 Title: The Marketing Entry Strategies of Sandvik Mining in Serbia and Macedonia Course: Business Administration Program: Bachelor Thesis in Business Administration Authors: Enock Ofori-Mensah, Sarkaut Karimi & Magdi Elhadi Supervisor: Prafulla Acharya Examiner: Ole Liljefors Introduction: Sandvik AB was founded in 1862 by Göran Fredrik Göransson who is the first person in the world to use the Bessemer method in steel industry. Sandvik Group is considered to be a world-leading company which produces high-technology products and has achieved a global business status in more than 130 countries throughout the world. The company sales as at 2009 was 72 billion SEK and boost of 44 000 employees. As a result of the close integration of the production, administration and distribution systems, approximately 70% of the Sandvik Group’s sales are delivered to customers within a week from order. To ensure maximum customer value, R&D at Sandvik involves leading state-of-the-art technology, dynamic patent activities and extensive added value. During the last few years, couples of companies have been finding it difficult to gain a competitive position in foreign markets due to the intense competition from suppliers and competitors and also their failure to conform their marketing strategies to the countries they enter and as a result fail drastically. Companies face a lot of dilemma on which entry mode strategies to adopt when entering new foreign markets. Some pay much attention to their resources whilst others also evaluate the total cost involved in entering the market against the level of profit they will achieve in that markets. For these reasons, the main aim of this research work is to try to identify and describe some of the entry strategies models companies should consider in their internationalization process. Problem: How has Sandvik Mining Industry entered into Serbia and Macedonia? Sub questions; - What difficulties had Sandvik faced in implementing their entry strategies in these two countries? - How and whether participants/interviewees perceive the entry strategies as successful or not? Purpose: The main objective of this research is to identify, describe and analyze the Marketing entry strategies of Sandvik Mining in Serbia and Macedonia. Method: In this research work, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used but most of this research work was based on qualitative research method. The qualitative research was in the form of primary data based on interviews, questionnaire and personal contacts with the sales/marketing manager, Mr. Johan Dotzauer. On the quantitative method, we used secondary data such as Journals, books and the financial information of Sandvik Mining to analyze Sandvik Mining international process as well as in evaluating the success of their internationalization process in Serbia and Macedonia markets. Conclusions: In conclusion of this work, we found out that the exclusiveness and the technicality of Sandvik´s products and their thirst for having a strong competitive advantage drives them more and more towards the resource based theory and also partially the network approach in their foreign market entry process. That’s Sandvik Mining adopted two or more entry strategies in its internationalization Process to Serbia and Macedonia Markets. In addition, Sandvik competitive advantage over its rivals Caterpillar and Atlas was due to its resources in the form of infrastructure, hi-tech products and high scaled sales force team. The success of Sandvik Mining entries to Serbia and Macedonia as at now cannot be concluded as successful by us. This is due to the unavailability of the 2010 financial statements for these two markets. Keywords: Resource Based Theory, Uppsala Internationalization Model, Network Approach and Eclectic/Transaction Cost Approach.Market entry strategies

This thesis identifies and discusses the spread of Islamic extremism as a potential threat to the Republic of Macedonia. It examines how Islamic extremism spread within the Republic of Macedonia and what policies could reverse this trend. The main research findings include the following. Major political, economic, and legal changes in Macedonia have provided fertile ground for nontraditional Islamic ideologies. Although adherents to radical Islamic ideologies in Macedonia have used NGOs and charities as mobilizing structures, they were not able to create their own organization. For most Muslims in Macedonia, critiques and visions of contemporary radical Islamic ideologues are problematic. Findings also suggest that Muslims in Macedonia are most vulnerable to individual recruitment; the attempts of local Islamic extremists to mobilize a greater number of followers for collective action were unsuccessful. In Macedonia, Islamic extremist ideologies are not a reaction to secularism and modernism, nor do they defend religion. Thus, their activities in Macedonia can be categorized as forms of potential or marginal fundamentalism. This thesis suggests that nurturing a culture of questioning and debating may counter radical Islamic ideologies. Other policy recommendations for counterterrorism measures include fighting organized crime and application of social network analysis concepts.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the nature of the relationship between cities and king in the late Classical and Hellenistic Macedonian kingdom. It will consider the cities from two main perspectives: the city as a community, and the city as a settlement. Section 1 re-examines the evidence most commonly used to argue for the Macedonian cities gaining substantial autonomy in this period. It will be argued that this evidence has less to tell us about the political autonomy of the Macedonian cities than their 'social relations' with other Greek communities: Macedonian cities engaged in international exchanges which did not represent any challenge to the authority of the monarch, but which could also be used to represent the relationship between king and city as cooperative. Such latitude was balanced, however, by forceful expressions of royal dominance in other arenas. Section 2 considers the position of the cities within the royal economy, and examines how, as a result of the king's monopolisation of Macedonia's resources, and the fact that the Macedonian elite was more interested in advancing their position at court than acting as civic benefactors, the cities were left economically subordinated to the king. Section 3 uses the increasingly abundant archaeological evidence to consider how royal building programmes served to project royal ideology into the localities. Royal palaces, large-scale urban development, and fortifications created an experience of urban space in Macedonia which emphasised the roles of the monarch as guardian, benefactor, and unifying figure. The picture that emerges is of a kingdom of civic communities which were engaged in meaningful exchanges with their peers outside Macedonia, but which were living in large and impressive urban settlements which stood as monuments to the extent and ubiquity of royal authority. Late-Classical and Hellenistic Macedonia was a kingdom of poleis, but that kingdom was first and foremost a royal space.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a new evaluation of Philip V of Macedon (221-179 BC) through a reassessment of his portrait in our primary literary source, Polybios of Megalopolis. Chapter 1 introduces the topic and explores how Polybios’ presentation of his content, including Philip, is greatly dependent on his intention to produce a pragmatic, didactic, universal history, facilitated by the unifying concepts of symploke and tyche. Chapter 2 investigates Polybios’ Achaian background, patriotism and admiration of the Achaian leader Aratos, and how this political bias shapes Philip’s depiction. Chapter 3 questions the validity of the historian’s claim that the king suddenly turned from a brilliant king to a treacherous tyrant in 215 BC, and reveals how Polybios overemphasises this change to explain the king’s downfall, encourage correct political and moral behaviour, and defend Aratos and the League’s association with the king. Chapter 4 assesses Polybios’ conviction that Philip’s treatment of his Greek allies turned deceitful after his change for the worse in 215, and reveals how his statements are exaggerated and once again in pursuit of vilifying the king, justifying the League’s defection to Rome in 198 BC and ultimately explaining Macedonia’s demise. Lastly, Chapter 5 discusses Polybius’ tragic account of Philip’s last years and its modern reception, arguing that while the account may not be historically accurate, it still represents a completely satisfactory, consistent and justifiable end to Polybius’ account of the Macedonian king. This thesis concludes that Polybios’ picture of the king is intensely loaded and complex, dependent on a number of wider literary factors and personal biases. Yet, it also proves that it is possible to unravel Philip from some of the historian’s weavings and uncover a more balanced portrayal of the monarch than the generally negative one presented in the Histories.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is made up of nine chapters. The introduction offers some preliminary discussion of the subject of the period as a whole, and some consideration of existing modern sources upon it. Our modern concept of the ancient world is necessarily constructed from materials derived from reports, and from the various other sources which have survived to use. The purpose of Chapter 1 is to establish how the reports and sources which pertain to the fifth century BC will be evaluated and used in the following thesis. To this end, the work of the three main contemporary historians for fifth century Greece are examined and some concluding comments regarding our use of them for the study of fifth century Macedon are made. Alexander I of Macedon faced circumstances which were almost completely incomparable to those faced by any other king during the period covered by this thesis. The fact that he not only preserved the integrity of his kingdom during the titanic Persian Wars but went on to gain territory, increase trade and improve the Macedonian army to an extent that it could conquer and maintain a vast tract of land, displays a commitment to the wellbeing of his country and a level of patriotism which Chapter 2, alone amongst modern studies, identifies and explores. In his commentary on Thucydides, A. W. Gomme has this to say about Perdiccas’ frequent changes of allegiance: “he chopped and changed all his life, as far as we can see to no very good purpose, except that he kept his kingdom intact and his own throne.” (p201) From Perdiccas’ point of view, and in the context of the Peloponnesian war, during which Macedon itself became, at times, a military objective, keeping his throne and kingdom intact was, in fact, a “very good purpose,” and indeed no small achievement. Chapter 3 explores the dramatic fluctuations in Perdiccas’ foreign policy which allowed him to do this, and considers modern viewpoints upon it.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to our understanding of the role of European Union policy in national level governance of the audiovisual media sectors in small states in South East Europe. It compares the Republics of Slovenia and Macedonia, two countries of similar size and population that emerged from the same former-Yugoslav media system. Slovenia is a new EU member state and Macedonia is a candidate country, therefore both are formally bound by EU audiovisual media policy. Europeanization research, particularly in new Member States and candidate countries, has focused on compliance with transposition deadlines and the implementation of specific EU Directives. This study takes a bottom-up approach, making media governance its object of study based on a conceptualisation of governance by Jan Kooiman (2003), but still focused on identifying the role of the EU within that national level governance. It draws on interviews with stakeholders in both countries, examination of secondary data available on the respective media markets, and accounts from civil society actors and regulators to arrive at an overall picture of media governance. It finds that in these two cases the role of Europeanization, defined in this thesis in relation to the EU, centres on the use of EU rules by domestic actors in order to forward their strategic interests. It argues that the media sectors in these two cases are largely resistant to Europeanization because of their small size and the particular relations between media and political elites. This thesis suggests that the media sector may be different from other sectors such as transport, environmental protection, or labour in terms of Europeanization and governance because the role of media in domestic politics. However, this is not a simple story of the democratic and governance failures often attributed to Southern European countries. This thesis shows the complexity in which Europeanization takes place, and highlights the importance of market conditions and market players to this process.

O seguinte trabalho apresenta um projeto escolar indígena que transcorre no Amazonas, especificamente entre a fronteira da Colômbia, Peru e Brasil. Tem como objeto a instituição Francisco de Orellana, na qual reúne oito comunidades indígenas que são as da Macedônia, Porto Triunfo, Liberdade, Zaragoza, Vergel, Mocagua, Palmeras e San Martin de Amacayacu. Seu projeto educativo comunitário (PEC), instituído sobre a plataforma educativa do modelo de Educação Própria Colombiana (SEIP, 2013) aposta em uma escolaridade que equilibra os saberes próprios de sua indianidade e os saberes externos que derivam da modernidade. Posteriormente, é apresentado a partir da abordagem crítica de Fornet Betancourt (2004) e outros, a maneira singular em que os sujeitos (professores, estudantes e famílias) vivenciam tal escolaridade intercultural através de narrativas (míticas), práticas culturais (pesca, dança, artesanato) e didática que escapam ao padrão convencional. A primeira parte apresenta as circunstâncias em que a abordagem do problema está ganhando complexidade com base nos interesses do pesquisador e da comunidade educativa, nos quais se encontram claros como na questão da educação escolar indígena na Colômbia e no Departamento do Amazonas. Uma segunda parte conceitualmente enquadra a educação escolar indígena intercultural como opção descolonial do modelo convencional, visando essencialmente estabelecer uma ecologia dos saberes (BOAVENTURA DE SOUZA, 2010) que intermedia o estar sendo indígena (KUSCH, 1962) e a fagocitação, que é definida pela colonialidade (QUIJANO, 2000). Finalmente, a terceira parte relata o que foi vivenciado na Macedônia, a Reserva Indígena que abriga a sede principal de Francisco de Orellana, e que serviu de campo para a pesquisa no final de 2017. Metodologicamente, adotou-se uma abordagem etnográfica, semelhante à estrutura conceitual, do "Estar sendo" ou "estar sendo juntos" (BERGAMASCHI, 2005). A compilação do diário de campo, as quatro entrevistas (dos professores e outras pessoas da comunidade) e as respostas dadas pelos estudantes nos questionários são divididas em três seções analíticas: Solidão intercultural; O Ticuna, uma cultura intercultural; Francisco de Orellana, pedagogia intercultural. Do campo concluiu-se que, quando a interculturalidade serve apenas como substantivo (MATO, 2009) distensionando os requisitos do órgão regulador, a escola funciona como um enclave ocidental (GASCHÉ, 2008). E nos momentos em que os projetos e experiências da vivência própria do indígena empregam a escolaridade, ela se comporta como um enxerto (BERGAMASCHI, 2005). Estas experiências que se anunciam desde o estar sendo e no pensamento seminal, enriquecem o pensamento crítico das comunidades, propiciam o debate epistemológico ao mesmo tempo em que a crítica social.El siguiente trabajo es sobre un proyecto escolar indígena que acontece en el Amazonas, concretamente en la frontera entre Colombia, Perú y Brasil.

Finalmente, la tercera parte relata lo vivenciado en Macedonia, Resguardo Indígena que acoge la sede principal del Francisco de Orellana, y que sirvió de campo para la pesquisa a finales de 2017.

Lo compilado en el Diario de campo, las cuatro entrevistas (dos profesores y dos adultos de la comunidad), y las respuestas dadas por los estudiantes en los cuestionarios, se desglosa en tres secciones analíticas: La soledad intercultural; Los Ticuna, una cultura intercultural; El Francisco de Orellana, pedagogía intercultural. Del campo se concluye que, cuando la interculturalidad sirve meramente como un sustantivo (MATO, 2009), distencionando de las exigencias del estamento regulador, la escolaridad funciona de enclave de occidente (GASCHÉ, 2008).

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation offers an investigation of the discursive function of national identity in the project of European integration. Its focus is the discursive dynamics created in the context of European Union Enlargement to the former communist states, and its geographical locus is the Balkan region. Exploring the transformations of national identity narratives in two Balkan states – Bulgaria and Macedonia – the analysis aims to uncover the discursive mechanisms of accommodating national identity in the process of empowering Europeanization. In the theoretical and meta-theoretical frame of poststructuralist discourse theory and within the structure of a small-number comparative case study, the investigation selects six narrative groups. They are centred around key elements in the narration of national identity: nationhood, territory, purpose, statehood, language, minorities. Traditionally interpreted within the hegemony of nationalism, these elements are identifiable in the national identity constructs of both of the studied states. Using qualitative methodology based on discourse analysis, the empirical study traces variations in these narratives in the course of the democratic transition and the preparation for EU membership at the macro level – the state. The purpose of the investigation is to reveal the logic of reading national identity within the empowering discourse of Europeanization. The findings demonstrate that the discursive space of the European project upholds a positive, emancipatory, optimistic vision of national subjectivity. Marginalizing antagonistic interpretations of national identity narrated in the discourse of nationalism, Europeanization reveals the potential to significantly increase the credibility of national identity as a source of collective self-iden tification at the level of the state. This can stabilize the discursive space of European integration and ensure the political relevance of the European project. Where nationalist readings of identity succeed in challenging the hegemony of Europeanization, national identity appears more antagonistic and less compatible with the progress of integration in Europe. In this sense reading national identity emerges as the touchstone of the integration project.

The present thesis treats the issue of gender equality in Macedonia during the period of transition
from the socialist system to the one of parliamentary democracy. The main aim is to mainstream the
gender perspective in the analysis of the transitional policies through the examination of the basic
citizenship rights to which citizens are entitled and by the means of the evaluation of their
capabilities to exercise these rights. Gender equality, as one of the main strongholds of the concept
of human development is measured through the application of nine gender relevant capabilities in a
Case study conducted within selected municipalities in the country. Through the analysis of the
Macedonian constitutional and legal framework and the assessment of gender based inequalities,
the research questions the need for the enactment of a process of engendering of citizenship, which
would integrate gender based differences, contemplate the private sphere of citizens lives and
pledge participation in the political life of the country. The thesis, finally, analyses the gender
equality strategy of the Macedonian government with the purpose to evaluate whether it is context
based, i.e. it tackles the main fields where inequalities emerge and in this context whether it
envisages a process of engendering of citizenship.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks into the role of identity in ethnic conflict from social-psychological and cognitive perspectives.The literature of Social Psychology suggests that one strategy of social groups under pressure or threat is to revert to their collective identity and manipulate it in ways that yield a distinct positive value for group members. Focusing on the main proponent of this view, Social Identity Theory, and transposing its premises onto an ethnic level, an Ethnic Identity Theory is proposed that explains ethnic identity's utility for the positive self-esteem of members of an ethnic group during a time of crisis.
As far as the cognitive aspect is concerned, the focus moves on to the individual level of analysis. It explores the issue of how information may be represented in the human brain, and proposes that it is due to particular 'exclusive' cognitive strategies of knowledge categorization, storing and re-processing that ethnic conflict is enhanced. Borrowing from Artificial Intelligence literature on Schemata and Frame theory, ethnic identity is treated as a frame with multiple slots for various traits that comprise an ethnic identity. Such modeling helps illustrate how properties related to the architecture of these mental structures result in the constructed ethnic identities becoming more rigid---their individual traits acquiring singular importance and, once challenged, affecting the whole identity.
This study concludes by pointing that, if intransigence and inflexibility concerning ethnic identity traits begins on a cognitive micro-level, then, little progress towards peace should be expected in on-going ethnic conflicts, unless cognitively unbiased third parties are involved in peace-making, and unless their involvement includes action on a cognitive-learning level to change convictions about warring groups members' perception of their own as well as others' ethnic identities.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the Macedonian conflict in 2001 from the perspective of everyday life. In the late winter radical nationalist militants National Liberation Army started a limited warfare against the government forces of Republic ofMacedonia. The NLA started fighting in the name of the Albanian minority and posed a serious security threat and polarised the Macedonian society on bases of ethnicity. The conflict in 2001 failed to produce ethnic war. Many factors contributed towards preventing the outbreak of civil war. Most important of all was the existence of the native model ofmulticulturalism. This model of multicultural accommodation is unexplored and this thesis is built around it. Various sources of evidence are brought together to explain it and to explain the ethnopolitical setting. The notion of reflexivity is central topic of discussion, or a key to understanding this multicultural model. First, reflexivity is investigated from the perspective of anthropological methodology and theory and second, reflexivity is explored in the everyday practice. In both guises reflexivity is taken to mean awareness ofthe potential power relations and as strife to balance, or cancel them. Reflexivity should be applied beyond the awareness and acknowledgement offieldworkers' presence in the field and anthropologists' has far greater impact in the field, to the extent that the anthropologist is the field. In the Macedonian setting of great ethnic mixture reflexivity is practiced in the everyday life as a guiding principle of balancing power relations that are based on the concept of mutual respect on individual level. The informal political organization of both l\1ac~donians and Albanians, expressed in the idiom ofkinship, that I set to explore before the violence erupted in the middle ofmy fieldwork, is very strong and competes with the bureaucratic mechanisms ofthe state and also minimised the efforts for ethnopolitical mobilisation. The multicultural practices based on respect and the strong informal political organization prevailed over the politics applied in its most radical form.

Full textAbstract:
"This dissertation defines the scope of Macedonia-EU relationships, and examines the EU's role in Macedonia: from democracy promotion to security to candidate state building. The dissertation reviews these processes using the concept of Europeanisation within the concrete case study of Macedonia. The EU has played a significant role in resolution of the political turmoil in Macedonia and has undertaken various strategies to promote change in the countries of the Western Balkans. Its most effective tool has been conditionality. In the case of Macedonia, specific non-acquis related conditionalities were put in place. The focus in this context here is how the conditionality has changed with the emergence of prospect for EU membership? This thesis examines conditionality at the implementation level related with the Europeanisation processes, focusing on securitisation or stabilisation, democratisation and association. The case studies include Stabilisation and Association Process, Ohrid Framework Agreement, Security sector reform including police reform and EU security missions in the country. The conclusion of the thesis is that EU conditionality combined with the socialisation tools and support programmes, has been instrumental factor that has shaped the EU influence in the country and turned Macedonia into the recipient of the Europeanisation effects. It makes virtually impossible to disentangle the impact of the Europeanisation process from the fundamental processes of democratisation that dominated Macedonia's political landscape. The Ohrid reform strategy tackled the two most important concerns: stabilisation, and democratisation, bringing to completion the process that can be labelled as the process of 'candidate state building', another name of Europeanisation in Macedonia. The thesis shows that the Europeanisation concept was important element in understanding the changes seen in Macedonia and that its influence is not conditional on actual membership." Key words: EU, Macedonia, Europeanisation, conditionality, candidate state building, security sector reform.
