Putting Self-Peripheralization in the Global Knowledge Order
This article examines scholarly self-peripheralization as a side effect of catch-up strategies for academic advancement within the global knowledge order. Self-peripheralization is conceptualized as a two-fold process driven not only by those striving for inclusion in global academic exchange (status seekers), but also by those who set and enforce the norms of academic status and knowledge “excellence” (status givers). The relationship between gl…
Geopolitical Positioning of a Small State
This article examines Serbia’s positioning in the East-West axis during the post-Cold War era. This is a specific example of the ‘third way’ in twenty-first century geopolitical behaviour. The small country remains non-aligned within the existing alliances of the East and the West, trying to find a balance between their influence and remaining faithful to its national interests. Although with far more modest resources, the situation of the Serbia…

Particular emphasis is given to specificities of the Bulgarian experience, such as resident adaptations, self-made gardens and codes of behaviour around public spaces. The attitudes of various social and professional groups have been divided into four categories: rejection, scepticism,…

Taking the example of the city of Bytom, a traditional centre of coal mining in Southern Poland, the article discusses four spheres where the dystopian present is clearly visible – namely, the four elements that led Bytom to a socio-economic and spatial collapse: …

These circumstances have confronted the Balkan country with a number of difficulties in regional development. The article outlines a specific national sociopsychological discourse on demographic processes in the conditions of…
