Алек Попов (1966-2024), гост в подкаста #Коридор8 на 26.09.2021 г.:
В литературата трябва да има дистанция, да не подхожда прекалено лично. Така е и по линия на зреенето на историята - за да узрее наистина, човек трябва да се отдалечи от нея.

Тази вечер коментираме една статия в сръбския вестник "Политика": Rat (ni)je daleko от Владимир Джуканович, влиятелна фигура в управляващата партия на Вучич.
Защо Джуканович намеси и България в своите пропагадни "анализи"?
Отговорът е при нас!

Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is considered a laboratory for both democratization and democratic backsliding, but little is known still about how ordinary citizens perceive and make decisions about whether and how to civically engage. To address this gap, we use focus group interviews to supplement our data from nationally representative surveys in Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Our fieldwork makes three contributions. First, the decisions people in both countries make about whether to engage in civic activism are shaped more by opportunities for action and impact on priority issues than by levels of acceptance of democratic norms. Second, the nature of citizen engagement tends to be through non-institutionalized, grassroots activism in response to a need or threat. Third, people in Poland are more likely to participate around abstract issues like rule of law while people in BiH are more often motivated by everyday problems. These insights suggest the use of focus groups after surveys deepens understanding of civic engagement in CEE.

The State Capacity Paradox:
Strong states swap the bludgeon for the scalpel.

[Graph] The State Capacity Paradox: Strong states swap the bludgeon for the scalpel. "As administrative infrastructure matures, states shift from physical violence to more sophisticated cultural elimination."
We often assume that strong state institutions and administrative capacity constrain atrocities. In our latest paper, however, we identify a countervailing pattern: states with greater capacity are less likely to engage in mass killing...

Cultural Elimination: A Conceptual Framework and New Global Dataset By Emre Amasyali, Jan Schlebusch & Andrei Tarasov This paper introduces the Cultural Elimination Dataset, now integrated into the Nation-Building Policies framework. Cultural elimination — state policies erasing minority identities without mass violence — affects far more groups than genocide but remains systematically understudied. We have created a new global dataset (1945– 2020) that codes forced assimilation and cultural suppression policies, including language prohibitions, religious repression, removal of children, and destruction of cultural heritage.
We're releasing the Cultural Elimination Dataset, now integrated into our #NationBuilding framework.
We documented cultural elimination — state policies erasing minority identities without mass violence — in 56 countries affecting 111 groups (1945–2020). Notably... 1/2

Very interesting suggestion - a new personality trait.

На 19 октомври петричани ще направят уникална историческа възстановка на Петричкия инцидент от октомври 1925 г., когато 4000 души местни доброволци и четници от #ВМРО се вдигнали на бой против гръцката армия 🔫 и в защита на България.
А "Коридор 8" ще направи епизод за 100-годишнината от събитието.
