In this paper the author analyses the possibility of 'creating' a European political people and forming a European political identity and a European political community. In the first, theoretical part of the paper, the author defines two concepts of people -- demos and ethnos -- and describes problems in identity building on purely political grounds of people as demos. By examining the references on a European political people in the EU legal foundations, the author illustrates dual premises of legitimacy for the Union and the Union's identity referents which are generally of a universalist nature. In the second, empirical part of the paper, the author presents how the European identity is formed, in line with classic distinction between 'civic' and 'ethnic' identity. Since the Eurobarometer survey showed a low level of European identification of EU member states' citizens, the author presents concepts which aim to overcome the low level of European affiliation. In the final part of the paper the question which is examined is whether the existence of a European political people is necessary for the future of the European integration. To this end, the author uses various theoretical approaches to the 'creation' of a European political people: economic/market approach, communitarian/statist approach, 'constitutional patriotism' of Habermas, Weiler's 'multiple demoi' and pluralism/particularism.

The present investigation deals with the meta-language of Communist International (Comintern) about the changes of the object-language of the Comintern. As the author puts it, there were several shifts in the political line of the Comintern in its history. The author gives a survey of the changes of Comintern policy and speaks about the factors responsible for denials of political changes. The author analyses forms of denial (negations and affirmations of constancy) derivations of denial and sub-types of the derived denials (containing assimilation between the old and the new by redefinition of terms or by the modification of presentation of old dogma). ; The present investigation deals with the meta-language of Communist International (Comintern) about the changes of the object-language of the Comintern.

1. The author believes it a great simplification to describe the Russian mass consciousness exclusively or even mostly in terms of neo-traditionalism and "revenge" of the Soviet past The author supposes "traditionalization" which has been observed recently to be at least partially a primary stage of ingraining new values, beliefs and institutions that had been imported in early 1990-s. Basing on the data having been got by today that characterize the main trends in the development of mass political notions the author offers his own interpretation of explanatory limits of "modernizational" and traditionalistic concepts for the analysis of some key spheres of mass political consciousness. ; 1.

This Article explores the possible nature of Hong Kong's Constitution after July, 1997, and discusses alternative ways of interpreting and enforcing the constitution. The author first proposes three definitions for the word "constitution'" (1) how political power is actually "constituted," (2) a written document and (3) a referent for disputes. The author then explains Hong Kong's unusual constitutional status where Hong Kong will be governed under a written constitution the Basic Law. and at the same time, many aspects of the Basic Law will be "guaranteed" by an international agreement, the Joint Declaration. The author proceeds to evaluate the means by which domestic bodies, such as the judiciary, may play a role in ensuring adherence to the written terms of the Basic Law. However, because the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress retains ultimate interpretative power, the author proposes that the Joint Declaration may have more influence on China's actions than Hong Kong's Basic Law. The author then examines the executive and legislative structure of Hong Kong and its influence on political responsiveness in Hong Kong after July, 1997. Reflecting upon recent Chinese resistance to institutionalized political responsibility in China, the author suggests that international legal arguments may be the more effective legal means of ensuring political responsiveness.

In this paper, the author reads current debates in "postqualitative inquiry" through the lens of critical pedagogy, in particular the work of Paulo Freire. The author argues that the field should more fully embrace "inquiry" as a basic disposition. In addition, the author suggests that reading postqualitative inquiry through critical pedagogy can help us to challenge reductive approaches to "data" while also allowing us to get on with our work of thinking and acting differently in the world—our work of inquiry.

In this brief memoir, the author describes his first meeting with Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick when they discussed Anthony Trollope's fiction; a later meeting, when they discussed some early writings on gay history; the author's initial reaction to the publication of Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire; and one other meeting, when the author and Sedgwick discussed James Merrill's poetry and also cruising. Finally, the author quotes and contextualizes a passage evidently about himself from one of Sedgwick's poems.

In this paper, the author proposes a paradigm shift in the way video lectures are used in education.

In this paper, the author reviews the literature, discusses the effectiveness of video lectures, and describes a methodology called VOLARE ("Video On Line As Replacement of old tEaching practices").

The author distinguishes between the antiquity's & Middle Ages' teachings on natural law & justice as a virtue & the modern-age Hobbes' theory of the prerequisites of the legal system. Hobbes' theory identifies the prerequisites of the legal system & describes the institution of legal constraint which guarantees the rule of law. The author points to the central historical difference between these paradigms. Finally, the author traces the evolution of Hobbes' paradigm in Kant's philosophy of right.
