Abstract Figures like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and former French National Front leader Marion Maréchal are seeking to establish what we call a new globalist illiberal order. The globalist illiberal agenda extends elements of the globalist project while reclaiming a radicalized view of Christian democracy. Europe's far-right views the global order as composed of strong nations who need to defend their sovereignty on ‘cultural’ issues while protecting their common Christian roots. We trace their project by focusing on two new institutions of higher education, Hungary's National University of Public Service Ludovika (Ludovika-UPS) and the Institut de sciences sociales, économiques et politiques (Institute of Social Sciences, Economics and Politics—ISSEP), based in France and Spain. Through these institutions, globalist illiberals aim to cultivate new leaders outside the liberal ‘mainstream’ and redefine the meaning of Christian democracy. We conclude that surging nationalism among mid- to small powers is not resulting in deglobalization but is fostering illiberal globalization, which has no place for those who do not fit in their exclusionary vision of Christian Europe.

The Us

“Judeo-Christian civilization” and “Christian democracy” have emerged as darling far Right tropes, seemingly uniting radical conservatives in the US and Europe behind a single, geopolitical imaginary. This article presents a brief political-conceptual story of how “Judeo-Christianity” and “Christian democracy” became a rhetorical meeting ground for radical conservatives across the Atlantic. But it also sheds light on why deep, historical, intellectual, and ethnographic divides beneath, make those grounds highly unstable terrain. Divides not only between European and American traditions of liberalism and conservatism but also between the experiences and practices of state power that inform them. Beneath the slogans of Christian democracy espoused in such disparate contexts as Charlottesville and Budapest, move different legacies, memories, enemies.

Within the article, interviews were conducted with representatives of the six internally displaced universities (Tavrida National V. I. Vernadsky University, Donetsk National University, Luhansk Oblast Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education, etc.). The subsequent summarization of the results of the interviews allowed us to identify the directions of implementation of the strategy of reintegration. Proceeding from the existing state of the Ukrainian educational system divided by the war, the main way of reintegration is to establish effective systems of support for displaced institutions of higher education as well as improving the material, technical, scientific and pedagogical component of their activities.

e21532 Background: It is difficult to perceive the preparation of a good death for children because of its social and cultural issues. Among the children with serious diseases, they can be alienated and the whole processes are done by the decision of the parent's proxy even when they have to prepare for death. The purpose of this study was to examine the perception of "Good Death" in advance among parents of pediatric patients with hematology-oncology diseases. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey to parents of pediatric patients in Kyungpook National University Children’s Hospital. Participants were recruited from the outpatient department of pediatric hematology and oncology. The Good Death Inventory (GDI), a tool developed for the perspectives of end-of-life care from bereaved family members, has a total of 54 items, including 30 in 10 core domains and 24 in 8 optional domains. Higher GDI scores mean better quality of death. A total of 109 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Results: Most patients were diagnosed with hematology (48%), followed by leukemia and lymphoma (31%), and solid oncology (21%). Patients had diagnosed with diseases 3.7 years ago. Among the characteristics of parents, parents who did religious activity had significantly higher optional GDI score (p = .048). Among the characteristics of patients, female patients had significantly higher optional GDI score (p = .041). Optional GDI score of middle school or higher patients was significantly higher than preschool patients (p = .010). Patients with good perceived health status patients had significantly higher scores in GDI core, optional, and total (p = .048, .044, .013). Patients who had discussed their end-of-life plan with parents or others had significantly higher GDI total scores (p = .045). Parents who agreed with having patients’ living will had significantly higher GDI optional and total scores (p = .012, .026). Patients who already had living will had significantly higher GDI total score (p = .036). Interestingly, parents who wanted to receive all possible treatments to prolong life for their children had higher GDI core score (p = .054). Conclusions: Discussing a living will as well as a willingness to treat would be important for care. To improve quality of life and decreasing the disease stress burden, individualized and multidisciplinary education should be performed regularly.

Towards great ethno-civilizations and spiritual empires? How the European New Right imagines a post-liberal world order

Recent Claim

Far-right parties and pundits are often portrayed as parochial nationalists obsessed with the idea of national sovereignty. Opposed to a liberal world order, they prefer a rogue world of nation-states on the loose. This essay seeks to complicate that narrative. It suggests that alongside political parties with a nationalist agenda, an increasing number of voices on the radical Right are now pushing for a re-spiritualized world order in which cultures, civilizations, and empires are to set the scene. This vision of global order echoes Christopher Coker’s recent claim that “we now live in a world in which civilization is fast becoming the currency of international politics.” But, why does this strand of the far-right prefer civilizations to nation-states? To ponder this question, this essay zooms in on the European New Right and more precisely two of its main luminaries, Alain de Benoist and Aleksandr Dugin. It shows how the New Right stretches back to classical geopolitics to imagine a future polycentric world order in which large civilizations are set free from American hegemony. The empires of the future are no longer underpinned by nation-states but by ethnopluralism—a “blossoming variety” of local, ethnic, agrarian polities.

After 1948 the Romanian higher education entered a period of important developments, controlled by the communist regime, which meant thathigher educationinstitutions autonomy was severely obstructed, while politicalpurges affected the teaching staff and students alike. Nevertheless, new types of higher education were introduced and new institutions of higher education and specializations were established. The number of students and graduates increased accordingly. Also, after 1975, the number of foreign students in Romanian higher education registered a significant increase mainly in medicine and pharmacy . More than half of foreign students attracted by the Romanian higher education were studying medicine and pharmacy. Many interesting aspects of this situation are presented in this article: reasons for this attraction, statistics of total number of students, number of freshmen, number of graduates and the contribution of each institution of medicine and pharmacy higher education in attracting the foreign students.

A key reason why the Irish Catholic social movement failed to realize its project of reconstruction was because a conservative Hierarchy baulked at the radicalism of some of its proposals. Critiques of banking and finance capital formulated within the movement were particularly divisive and on these issues ecclesiastical disciplinary mechanisms were invoked to silence some of its radical voices. During the Second World War/Emergency period communist influence became the movement’s overriding concern and Catholic adult education initiatives were launched to counter this threat. To provide such education a number of new institutions with a social science focus – the Catholic Workers College and the Dublin Institute of Catholic Sociology – were created alongside the colleges of the National University of Ireland.

It has been noted that the data on the development of the abilities of students’ social intelligence during their studies in higher education institutions, which are presented in the literature, are ambiguous and need to be clarified. The author of the article has analyzed the peculiarities of the abilities of social intelligence of cadets of institutions of higher education with specific learning conditions in different years (time interval between studies – 15 years) and at different courses. The research was conducted at Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs in 2002 and 2017 by using J. J. Guilford’s Social Intelligence Methodology. 4 groups of cadets participated in the study. They were future psychologists who studied at 1, 3 (2 groups) and 5 courses. According to the results of the study, cadets are most often diagnosed with the average and lower than the average levels of social intelligence (high level of social intelligence among the surveyed cadets in 2017 was not diagnosed), the most advanced ability of social intelligence was the ability to predict the effects of behavior. The smallest changes over time were established regarding the cadets’ abilities to logical generalization, the allocation of common essential features in various nonverbal responses of a person. In general, there was a certain decrease in the level of the development of cadets’ abilities of social intelligence, especially the ability to understand the internal motives of people’s behavior; the author of the study suggests that this may be due to the negative influence of a number of factors in the social environment, where the abilities of social intelligence are formed. Among the factors that negatively affected the level of development of the abilities of social intelligence of the study participants, the author has distinguished the following: changes in child-parent communication; change in the content of education and attitudes towards children in secondary schools; reduction of the intensity of direct friendship communication and increase of the importance of communication in social networks. The author has proved the necessity to improve the educational and pedagogical conditions aimed at developing the abilities of social intelligence of modern professionals in the law enforcement sphere.
