Forests in the Netherlands and Their Many Functions since the 1900s
In European forestry, ‘sustainability’ as a key concept is centuries old. State-managed production forests and wooded landscapes for nature conservation have co-existed for a similar timespan. Incrementally, the functions of forests in the densely-populated Netherlands have shifted from timber production and economic rationales to natural beauty, biodiversity and recreation. ‘Monofunctional forests’ were gradually replaced in the 1960s by ‘multip…
Peasant Parties in Eastern Europe and Their Populist Moment
This article examines the actions and discourses of the main peasant parties and movements in Romania, Poland and Bulgaria during the inter-war period. Ideologically and discursively, peasant parties were a heterogeneous amalgamate of anarchist, Marxist, socialist and liberal (and sometimes even conservative or nationalist) ideas. In defining the populism as a repertoire of actions and/or discourses, rather than the unchanging essence of a party,…

Moldova
Nation-building in the post-Soviet Republic of Moldova and its non-recognised break-away region of Transnistria constitutes a favourite of constructivist nationalism studies. Both the first wave of studies by historians, linguists and political scientists in the mid-1990s and a second wave including anthropologists in the past five years, however, have struggled to make sense of the conflicting nationalisms. The clean distinction between ethnic a…

La construction de la nation dans la République post-soviétique de Moldavie et dans la région sécessionniste de Transnistrie a été l’objet d’étude privilégié de l’approche constructiviste du nationalisme. Cependant, un première vague d’études menées par des historiens, des linguistes et des politologues au milieu de la décennie 1990 suivie d’une deuxième série de travaux d’anthropologues au cours des cinq dernières années ont tenté de donner du s…

Environmental Politics in Southeastern Europe
In Western Europe and North America today, environmental problems are among the most pressing items on the political and public agenda. Despite all the woeful tidings, much has been achieved over the past forty years in the effort to 'save the planet', make economic growth sustainable and halt the depletion of natural energy resources and the decline in biodiversity. Essential to these changes have been states with the resources and administrativ…
Mirrors on the Wall. Outsiders Looking at Europe, and at Themselves
Last year Anatolij Morozov and Lilija Sirienko published a study on the Common Agricultural Policy of the countries of the European Union at the University of erkasi (Ukraine). This study served as the starting point for the author's reflections, as it offers a much-needed sounding board helpful for both insiders and outsiders of the EU, for it echoes the tensions between high European hopes and increasing counterclaims in the wider Southeast Eur…

The present study on Russian citizenship policies is one out of many recent studies to accept comparisons between Soviet/Russian and European polities and poli…

Bauernparteien und rurale Wählerschaften
Agrarian policies, rural areas and the peasantry in Southeastern Europe are typically studied from the perspective of either economic transition or EU institutionalism. Students of multi-layered governance often approach rural issues in Southeastern Europe in terms of the intricacies of EU integration and acquis harmonisation. Conversely, studies of postcommunist transition discuss agriculture and the peasantry mostly by holding them responsible …

Carving a Moldavian Identity out of History
“For what we all are, really, is elegant scarecrows on fields of words.” Gabriel Liiceanu's metaphor of “discourse” is particularly revealing for the case of the Moldavian nation. When the field is already covered with scarecrows, a new one will have trouble finding a free spot and functioning properly. Rivaling nationalist and communist interpretations of Moldavian history have left little free space for an original view: historical facts have b…

Romania
Political developments in Romania as well as the resulting deficits in transition management since EU accession raise a number of fundamental but difficult questions . Should Romania's "old habits" be thought of as a Huntingtonian blend of the country's pre-communist political institutions and political culture mixed with "Ceauescuism", that is, Romania's exceptional type of state socialism, sometimes dubbed "sultanism"? Or should these "old habi…
