The papers presented in this volume analyse the many ways in which the Vatican, national Churches and individual catholics dealt with the rise of the extreme right in Europe throughout the 1920s, 1930s and early 1940s, from the end of the First World War, arguably one of the main catalysts of European interwar fascism, to the conclusion and immediate aftermath of the Second World War. While a number of papers focus primarily on theoretical, methodological issues pertaining to the book's general theme, the majority of papers focus on either a country or region where a fascist movement or regime flourished between the wars and during the Second World War, and where there was a significant catholic presence in society. The various chapters cover almost the entire European continent – an endeavour that is unprecedented –, and they explore a wide range of relevant contexts and methodologies, thus further contributing to the general development of an interpretive 'cluster' model that incorporates a series of investigative matrixes, and that will hopefully inspire future research.

U ovome ću diplomskome radu usmjeriti pozornost na načine na koje je, iz očišta različitih likova u romanu "Umjetne suze" Milka Valenta, prikazana Europa – kao ideja i fenomen u današnjoj epohi banalnosti. Cilj je ovoga rada pokazati da gospodarski rast nije uvjet za demokratsku jednakost nego je jednakost pred zakonom naslijeđe i temelj demokracije koja je, kako je pokazala Martha Nussbaum, utemeljena u obrazovanju za kritičko mišljenje i suosjećanje koje nude humanističke znanosti. Milko Valent poetikom psihotičnog realizma stvara bolesnički karton Europe koja se raspada zbog "metastaza neoliberalnog kapitalizma" uzrokovanih različitim institucijama koje promiču mit o europskoj demokraciji. Dok je nekada Grčka bila "kolijevka zapadne civilizacije", danas je Europska unija sinonim za demokraciju i društvo visoke kulture (Luketić) u kojoj su prisutni fenomeni banalnosti, rasizma, bijega od multikulturalizma, apatije, lažnih medija i drugi, što je u "Umjetnim suzama" problematizirano na više narativnih razina. Europljani su stvaraoci iluzije političkog ideala koju Valent demistificira svojim tekstom u kojem istovremeno opisuje kako izgleda stvarnost i proizvodi tu istu stvarnost. ; In this graduation thesis I will aim my attention to the ways in which Europe is portrayed in the novel ''Artificial Tears'' by Milko Valent. Europe, as an idea and a phenomenon in the today's era of banality, will be analysed from the perspectives of various characters from the novel. The aim of this thesis is to show that economic growth does not imply democratic equality; moreover, equality before the law is the legacy and foundation of democracy which is, according to Martha Nussbaum, grounded in cultivating critical thinking and empathy provided by humanities. Using the poetics of psychotic realism, Milko Valent creates a medical record of Europe which is crumbling due to ''the metastases of neoliberal capitalism'' caused by various institutions that promote the myth of European democracy. While Greece used to be ''the cradle of ...

This paper outlines the EU regulatory framework and analyses current practice in four European countries in respect of public procurement and tendering of ferry services. Tender management for major ferry services resides with national government agencies, while tenders for smaller volume regional and/or inter-isles services are generally managed by local authorities and/or regional transport authorities. Operator selection criteria increasingly emphasises service quality aspects, and environmental impacts, as well as price (i.e. amount of subsidy required). There is a continued trend towards privately-owned operators providing and investing in essential ferry services, with an increasing role played by larger international integrated transport organisations. For transport authorities, ferry service procurement involves a continuous evolutionary process of specifying, offering, selecting, monitoring and reviewing services supplied. Based on the information collected and analysed, the authors have developed a 'tender route map' which explains the different stages and key issues concerning public procurement of ferry services.

The Nordic Region offers innovative interpretative approaches and models to overcome the "dilemma between security and prosperity". In this region, integration and fragmentation have been well-balanced and grounded on diversity. The first aim of this article is to explain the reasons for peace in Nordic Europe, a task sometimes more difficult than explaining wars. Historical cases of pacific resolution of disputes and the possible reasons for those policies are considered. Finally, the theoretical foundations of these approaches and how they influenced the political institutions are also analyzed.
