The dialogue between History and Political Science (PC), whose theoretical concepts are very useful for the interpretation of longer conjunctural units, needs to be sharpened. In this paper, following the possibility of studying 1890-1930 as a unitary block, we will try to demonstrate the usefulness of PC for the historiography of this period of "Crisis of Liberalism" and for the advancement of the study of political parties. We cut out the first course of this crisis (1890-1910) to carry out a practical application demonstrating the fecundity of the intended interdisciplinary dialogue.

This article discusses the state of global/development education in twelve Central and Eastern European countries. It is based on key findings and recommendations obtained from national global education seminars which took place in 2009/2010 with support of the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the European Commission. These seminars brought together different stakeholders with the aim to discuss the situation of global/development education (GE/DE) in the respective country and promote national policy recommendations and good practices. The reports have mainly been drafted by the NGDO Platforms in each respective country.

When considering how to promote health by linking agriculture, food and nutrition, it makes sense to have a closer look at existing legislation in the area of nutrition and health claims made on food products. This is particularly important because what industry is allowed to say about the impact on health of the foods it sells is an essential element in a number of areas, such as consumer awareness, consumer education, product research and development, and research-funding opportunities. After all, why would anyone invest considerable resources to do research, develop and market a particular food product that would be more nutritious or would help mitigate certain disease-risk factors, if the law were to prohibit any commercial communication on those health benefits? When examining existing legislation on nutrition and health claims made on foods, it is useful to consider the regulatory framework in the European Union.
