The current scientific article focuses on how the European Union (EU) approaches managing migration related to the described factors and ensuring environmental security as a human security dimension. The EU ambitions to be a leader in reducing global warming, mitigating its effects, improving knowledge of its effects on vulnerable populations, prot...
The context of recently highly exploded digital transformations and following-up innovations increasingly influences the relationship between citizens and public authorities. This chapter explores how innovative approaches in public administration can either bridge or exacerbate the gap between citizens and public authorities based on what we call...
A vague and loosely defined concept, ‘populism’ allows understanding the nature of present day’s challenges encountered by liberal democracy better than any of the finely defined concepts that have currently gained widespread currency would allow. Bulgaria is no exception. There are several key moments that have effectively led to transforming popu...
Настоящият текст прави опит да покаже пътя от еволюцията на концепцията за правата на човека през вероятно нейната поанта, свързана с универсализацията на идеята благодарение на Всеобщата декларация за правата на човека на Организацията на обединените нации (ООН), до съвременните прояви на деволюция, които може да бъдат открити във формите на дехум...
This paper develops its analysis starting from the relationship between digital transformation and the role of COVID-19 in terms of its catalysis. This is primarily a statement of fact since the leap in the use of new technologies is unequivocal - from work and learning to entertainment, they have necessarily become much more digitized. In this sen...
Настоящата статия разглежда доминирането на секуритарните логики при
управлението на миграционните потоци като предизвикателство за спазването правата на човека. В последните години това се наблюдава особено тревожно на международните граници, където много често са потърпевши най-уязвимите сред смесените миграционни потоци. Въведена е концепцията з...
Права и сигурност са две свързани концепции. Днес е популярно да провокираме съдържанието им, като понякога ги поставяме в опозиционни и дори парадоксални позиции. Нарастващата секюритизация на политиките не води до повишаване защитата правата на човека, напротив, наблюдаваме по-скоро елементи на ограничаване и дори нарушаване на човешки права в им...
According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), over a billion people live and work outside their home countries. In 2020, an estimated 281 million international migrants resided in countries other than their own, a significant increase from previous decades. Europe and Asia host the largest shares, while migration's impacts on fam...
The notorious “foot voting” from the initial years of the democratic transition has
undergone its transformations and nowadays the departure from the geographic
boundaries of Bulgaria does not involve a refusal to participate in the political entity.
On the contrary, there are ever more numerous examples of civil commitment of
Bulgarians abroad and...
Although it was asylum that became the earliest institutionalised form of migra- tion, Bulgaria was totally unprepared for the 2012 situation. Resulting from peaking num- bers in asylum applications, new arrivals in the country were confronted with a situation of institutional collapse. Despite ostensible normalisation of the situation in the ensui...
Mobility and migration are no new phenomena, but their importance and topicality for modern societies presuppose the search for specific interdisciplinary studies and approaches. This procedure is relatively new, but a growing number of novel research in the area is positioned at the crossroads of a multitude of disciplines – history, sociology, po...
Настоящият сборник събира анализи на сложната природа на кризите, тяхното управление и политиките, които се реализират в този контекст. Изданието включва текстове на студенти и препо- даватели от департаментите „Политически науки“, „Национална и международна сигурност“ и „Администрация и управление“ на Нов български университет, а текстовете, които...
Настоящият текст теоретизира разбирането за криза, като очертава основни подходи в политиките по време на кризи и прави мост между доброто управление и устойчивостта на системите.
Ключови думи: кризи, устойчиво развитие, публични политики.
Abstract: This paper theorizes the understanding of crisis, outlining key policy approaches in times of crisis...
Abstract The last census in Bulgaria shows that population has shrunk by 11.5% in a decade. Low birth rate, high death rate and migration are the key factors behind the country's demographic decline. Governmental strategy documents admit that Bulgaria has lapsed into a serious demographic crisis and recognise migration and especially return migrati...
Какво може да обедини архитекти, политолози, икономисти, социолози и еколози в един общ формат? Отговорът е многоизмерният и сложен, но именно поради това и любопитен образ на града.
Настоящият сборник събира в себе си доклади, които са представени и дискутирани по време на проведеното през 2021 г. Първо издание на Интердисциплинарната школа на Нов...
This paper analyzes how cities respond to different types of crises, with examples given through the global COVID-19 crisis. The concept of sustainable development is used as a frame of reference within which individual city initiatives are considered. An attempt is made to point out a less obvious correlation, such as that between crisis and innov...
2015 повлияло и на Болгарию. Особый контекст, связанный со сменой политического режима в 1990хх сделал Болгарию интересным случаем. Причинами отрицательного отношения к беженцам среди населения страны послужили отсутствие опыта взаимодействия с «видимыми» иммигрантскими сообществами и неправильное понимание эмиграционных процессов в условиях национ...
This is a book that offers an in-depth interdisciplinary analysis of metropolitan policies on a wide range of issues affecting the economy, democracy, technology, governance, ecology, culture, demography, migration and security. The authors of the large-scale study - Bulgarian and French experts, renowned scholars and unencumbered young minds from...
The "long summer of migration" of 2015 affected Bulgaria similarly to other European countries. The specific context relating to a state drastically scarred by the change in political regime in the 1990s has made Bulgaria an interesting case study. The lack of experience with "visible" immigrant communities and the (mis)representation of the emigra...
Focusing on Bulgaria, this book addresses the key issues of migration and populism, which have grown to become dominant topics of debate within Europe and across the world over the last decade.
Ildiko Otova and Evelina Staykova trace the history of migration and populist discourses within Bulgaria from 1989 until the present day. The authors analy...
The report confirms the lack of specific data for TCNs. This is the reason why some of the conclusions in this report are made on the basis of European tendencies, national specifies, concrete case studies, and the MATILDE fieldwork.
Some of the conclusions made in this statistical brief shows that there is a potential for negative trends: the soci...
The report concludes that the Bulgarian integration approach could be summarized as very centralized, dominated by anti-migrant political discourse. The main improvements in the approach follow the harmonization with EU acquis and the most successful examples of integration are the result of a personal effort and/or combine with civic support. The...
Анализът преминава през въвеждане на противоречиви градски характеристики. От една страна уязвимост на градските структури в резултат на кризата, а от друга съсредоточаване на потенциал за справяне с проблема. Въведена е и своеобразна дилема свързана с ограничаване правата на човека, за сметка на повишаваща се сигурност в градската средата. За пост...
2019: демократични (д)ефекти Евелина Стайкова Резюме: Статията разглежда различни елементи от местните избори проведени през октомври 2019 г., като ги разделя в три категории на демократични (д)ефекти: предизборни, кампанийни, такива свързани с резултатите от изборите. Маркирани са едни от най-куриозните случаи, които са анализирани с оглед качеств...
Processes of globalization and urbanization, international migration and free movement of people put the theory of citizenship in an entirely new context. This new context changed the content of citizenship; provoked new thoughts of the body of concept; opened new analytical terrain. Many analysts develop theories of new forms of citizenship. This...
Това е книга, която разглежда как се раждат градовете, каква е тяхната визия, как функционират, кой живее в тях. В текста разсъжденията минават основно през призмата на политологията, макар интердисциплинарността да прозира в много от неговите части. Градовете имат ключово значение за посоките на развитие на света през 21-ви век. Това, което става...
In the summer of 2016, the government of Bulgaria adopted its Programme for integration of refugees at the local level, wherein the leading function in this regard was assigned to local authorities. In the coming months, presidential and preliminary parliamentary elections were held in the country. Migration issues became central topics in the poli...
Based on field research on national level but also examining two local case studies-Sofia and Harmanly, this text describes the reception of asylum seekers in Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian chapter by Anna Krasteva with Evelina Staykova and Ildiko Otova analyzes the (in)capacity of the civic countering to the unprecedented wave of nationalist and xenophobic discourses and to the diversification and multiplication of extremist actors, to theorize the emergence and development of the civic agency through a variety of appro...
The present article aims to explore the relationship between corruption and civic activity. Sofia was selected as the study location. Conceived in the broader framework of the urban context, post-communist societal specifics and the temporalities of the democratic transition, this study treats the activity of Sofia citizens not just as NIMBY (Not I...
Processes of globalization and urbanization, international migration and free movement of people put the theory of citizenship in an entirely new context. This new context changed the content of citizenship; provoked new thoughts of the body of concept; opened new analytical terrain. Many analysts develop theories of new forms of citizenship. This...
The right of citizens to participate in the governance of public affairs is one of the most widely held democratic principles (European Charter of Local Self-Government 1985: Preamble). This is the reason why adopting a favourable legislative basis that guarantees citizens’ equal rights and opportunities for political participation is regarded as t...
