Deputies of territorial rulers often escorted foreign persons of rank, merchants, prisoners, or corpses when they moved through their dominions. This physical form of safe conduct was a way of honouring or protecting travellers, but it also offered a means of signalling a ruler’s claims over a thoroughfare. When several parties disputed the right to escort a traveller, the escorts attempted to gain the vanguard of the processions. It was not uncommon for these encounters to escalate into violence, leading to protest, absenteeism, and outright mutiny among subjects, travellers, and officials, as in the small County of Wertheim where the processions often assumed a warlike character. In a world where processional rankings and symbolic gestures were regarded as authentic indicators of social and political realities, these theatres of transit offered a means through which to express and broker profound dissensions over the politics of mobility.

The Way

The 1948 Nakba has, in light of the 1993 Oslo Accords and Palestinian refugee activists' mobilisation around the right of return, taken on a new-found centrality and importance in Palestinian refugee communities. Closely-related to this, members of the ‘Generation of Palestine’, the only individuals who can recollect Nakba memories, have come to be seen as the guardians of memories that are eventually to reclaim the homeland. These historical, social and political realities are deeply rooted in the ways in which the few remaining members of the generation of Palestine recollect 1948. Moreover, as members of communities that were destroyed in Palestine, and whose common and temporal and spatial frameworks were non-linearly constituted anew in Syria, one of the multiples meanings of the Nakba today can be found in the way the refugee communities perceive and define this generation.

The Church

Few subjects in recent history have lent themselves to such heated polemical writing and debate as that concerning the Spanish Church and its relationship to the abortive Spanish revolution of 1931–1939. Throughout this tragic era and especially during the Civil War, it was commonplace to find the Church labelled as reactionary, completely and unalterably opposed to progress, and out of touch with the political realities of the twentieth century.1 In the minds of many whose views were colored by the highly partisan reports of events in Spain during the nineteen thirties, the Church has been pictured as an integral member of the Unholy Triumvirate— Bishops, Landlords, and enerals—which has always conspired to impede Spanish progress. Recent historical scholarship has begun to dispel some of the notions about the right-wing groups,2 but there has been little research on the role of the clergy. Even more important, there has been little understanding of the Church's response to the radical revolutionary movements in Spain.

Elections and pandemics highlight how much one’s safety depends on fellow community members, a realization that is especially threatening when this collective perceives political realities inconsistent with one’s own. Two longitudinal studies examined how people restored safety to social bonds when everyday experience suggested that fellow community members inhabited inconsistent realities. We operationalized consensus political realities through the negativity of daily nationwide social media posts mentioning President Trump (Studies 1 and 2), and the risks of depending on fellow community members through the pending transition to a divided Congress during the 2018 election season (Study 1), and escalating daily U.S. COVID-19 infections (Study 2). On days that revealed people could not count on fellow community members to perceive the same reality of President Trump’s stewardship they perceived, being at greater risk from the judgment and behavior of the collective community motivated people to find greater happiness in their family relationships.

Abstract:The idea of a perfect national political community, entirely confined within the contours of a corresponding state, is one of the foundational fictions of global modernity. Its formal crystallisation in the legal grammars of the right to self-determination has been however, particularly in the post-colonial era, highly problematic and full of ambiguities. Drawing on this background, this article contends that diplomacy offers frequently a more promising venue for dealing with the challenge of political pluralism than appealing to either the unstable grammars of the right to self-determination or a reified understanding of the principle of territorial integrity of states. In so doing, firstly, the right to self-determination is critically examined. Instead of attempting to articulate its formal content, the malleability of its legal grammars and political realities, will be emphasised. Secondly, based on the discussion of a variety of historical cases, the notion of ‘constituent diplomacies’ will be advanced, aiming to show how the agonistic accommodation of political and territorial pluralism through diplomacy was crucial not only in the formative processes of modern sovereign states but also nowadays. Finally, this relational understanding of the historical forms of governance of political pluralism within and beyond state boundaries will be re-examined, beyond its ethno-political dimensions, through the prism of the complex interplay between the material and ideational conditions for the co-production of sovereignty in the context of new global capitalism.

Abstract. Educational discrimination often occurs in people's lives. This is influenced by the distinction that appear from the community itself. This distinction can be seen from the perspective of the community to educational rights of men and women. The main factors that influence the emergence of discrimination against the right to education include normal or traditional rules that kill the character of women, the physical form of women, the economic pace, misinterpretation of religious teachings, and cultural beliefs that grow in the lives of rural communities. This requires a maximum effort in aligning the paradigm between rural communities and communities by involving religious teachings as supporters of the realization of equal educational rights for men and women. By using exploratory-descriptive eruption studies, it results in findings that the viewpoints related to equality of education rights of men and women are divided in two. First, the viewpoint of the community which encompasses patriarchal culture, humanism, economics, and education. Second, the viewpoint of the Hadith and the Al-Qur'an. Abstrak. Diskriminasi pendidikan kerapkali terjadi di dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh distingsi yang muncul dari masyarakat itu sendiri. Distingsi itu dapat dilihat dari sudut pandang masyarakat terhadap hak pendidikan laki-laki dan perempuan. Faktor utama yang mempengaruhi munculnya diskriminasi terhadap hak pendidikan meliputi normal atau aturan tradisional yang membunuh karakter perempuan, bentuk fisik perempuan, laju ekonomi, penafsiran yang salah terhadap ajaran agama, serta keyakinan budaya yang tumbuh dalam kehidupan masyarakat pedesaan. Hal ini membutuhkan usaha maksimal dalam penyelarasan paradigma antara masyarakat pedesaan dan masyarakat perkotaan dengan melibatkan ajaran agama sebagai pendukung terhadap realisasi kesetaraan hak pendidikan laki-laki dan perempuan. Dengan menggunakan studi leterasi berupa eksploratif-deskriptif, mengahasilkan temuan bahwa sudut pandang terkait kesetaraan hak pendidikan laki-laki dan perempuan dibagi dua. Pertama, sudut pandang masyarakat yang meliputi budaya patriarki, budaya humanisme, ekonomi, dan edukasi. Kedua, sudut pandang perspektif hadits dan Al-Qur’an.

Discretionary Powers

While the Dublin System was meant to create a clear and fair division of responsibilities for the examination of applications for international protection, the recent refugee crisis highlighted the extent to which normative aspirations and political realities can diverge. That said, the Dublin System does allow for a certain degree of flexibility: By exercising the discretionary right to assume responsibility under the so-called “sovereignty clause” of Article 17, paragraph 1 of the Dublin III Regulation, Member States can examine asylum applications even when they would not formally have jurisdiction for doing so according to the criteria established by the Dublin System. Germany has relied upon this right extensively during the refugee crisis. Against this backdrop, the following contribution analyzes the reasons for, and limits of, multilevel administrative discretion in the Common European Asylum System. It argues that when a Member State exercises the right to assume responsibility in a sweeping manner, i.e. in hundreds of thousands of cases, it runs the risk of overstretching the legal limits of its discretionary powers. National administrative bodies can only invoke the right to assume responsibility insofar as this does not amount to game-changing decisions by the executive or unilateral decision-making without transnational coordination – particularly when such decisions have severe transnational consequences.

Local Value

Japanese culture is a Indonesian colonizer’s culture that most stand out and preffered than other Indonesian colonizer’s culture like Netherlands, England, Spanish, and Portuguese. In the other hand, the local value of Indonesia preffered to be left out because Indonesian preffered the foreign culture. The Japanese that followed modern western culture without leaving their original culture can be an example for Indonesian not to lose their local values so that this project designed for Indonesian still can consume and learn Japanese Culture without forget their local culture. The space for make that happen starts from the daily life of people related to third place. The design method for this design based on the site existing as a basic for building mass with the purpose of using the existing one like as thought by Louis Isadore Kahn. Edutown BSD is the right location to design a proposed project entitled Japan Cultural Hybrid Space because there are various buildings with different functions like shopping centers, entertainment, and education, and culturally there are Japan and Indonesia; Edutown BSD is planned to be an education and research center that is integrated with shopping centers, recreation, and other needs so that it supports the project design in the form of assimilation space. The design results in the form of buildings with material and physical form follow Japan / modern while non-physical is more on Indonesian culture because locality is not merely displaying physical form, so that the meaning of design title does not reflect Japanese culture exclusively.  AbstrakKebudayaan Jepang adalah kebudayaan negara penjajah Indonesia yang paling menonjol dan cukup diminati dibanding dengan negara penjajah Indonesia lainnya seperti Belanda, Inggris, Spanyol, dan Portugis sementara nilai-nilai lokal Indonesia cenderung ditinggalkan karena orang Indonesia lebih cenderung memilih budaya luar dibanding budaya lokal. Sikap Jepang yang mengikuti budaya modern dari barat tanpa meninggalkan budaya asal mereka menjadi contoh untuk Indonesia agar tidak kehilangan nilai-nilai lokalnya sehingga proyek ini bertujuan agar Indonesia tetap dapat menikmati dan mempelajari kebudayaan Jepang tanpa melupakan kebudayaan lokal. Wadah untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut dimulai dari keseharian orang-orang terkait third place. Metode perancangan yang digunakan adalah dengan memanfaatkan kondisi eksisting tapak perancangan sebagai dasar pembentukkan massa bangunan dengan maksud memanfaatkan yang sudah ada seperti yang dipikirkan oleh Louis Isadore Kahn. Edutown BSD menjadi lokasi yang tepat untuk dirancang sebuah proyek yang diusulkan yang berjudul Ruang Asimilasi Budaya Jepang Tradisional dan Modern karena terdapat berbagai bangunan dengan fungsi berbeda-beda seperti pusat perbelanjaan, hiburan, dan pendidikan serta secara kebudayaan terdapat Jepang dan Indonesia; Edutown BSD direncanakan untuk menjadi pusat pendidikan dan riset yang diintegrasikan dengan pusat perbelanjaan, rekreasi, dan kebutuhan lainnya sehingga ikut mendukung perancangan proyek berupa ruang asimilasi. Hasil perancangan berupa bangunan dengan material dan bentuk fisik mengikuti Jepang / modern sementara non fisik lebih kepada budaya Indonesia karena lokalitas tidak hanya sekedar menampilkan wujud fisik saja, sehingga pengertian judul perancangan bukan mencerminkan kebudayaan Jepang secara eksklusif.

The article presents the result of determining the effectiveness of normative legal regulation of the right to freedom of creativity. It is established that the criteria of effectiveness are: a) the perfection of legal regulation of the right to freedom of creativity; b) conformity of normative legal acts in the sphere of the right to freedom of creativity with socio-economic and political realities, possibilities of exercising the norms of the right of creative competences enshrined therein and their protection in court; c) reduction of imperative, imperative methods of regulation by increasing the dispositive methods; d) a clear definition of the types of legal responsibility for the violation of the right to freedom of creativity. As a result of the theoretical modeling of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the normative legal regulation of the right to creativity in Ukraine, it is proposed to amend the legislation. It is proved that Article 54 of the Constitution of Ukraine should be set out in the following wording: types of intellectual activity. Everyone is guaranteed the right to the results of his intellectual, creative activity; no one may use or distribute them without his or her consent, except as provided by law. The state contributes to the development of all kinds of creative activity, establishing appropriate ties of Ukraine with the world community. Cultural heritage is protected by law. The state ensures the preservation of historical monuments and other objects of cultural value, takes measures to return to Ukraine cultural values of the people who are beyond its borders. " It is substantiated that these changes will enhance the effectiveness of ensuring the right to freedom of creativity in terms of creating a scientifically sound system of legislation and its ability to ensure that the real needs and interests of the subjects of law are harmonized. The inconsistency of normative legal acts in the sphere of the right to freedom of creativity with socio-economic and political realities has been proved. There is a lack of effective socio-economic support for creators, creative unions and associations. It is substantiated that tendencies of socio-economic development should be directed to the development of science, technology, and culture. It is noted that the absence of a definition of the concept of academic responsibility in the legislation testifies to the lack of a clear definition of the types of legal responsibility for violations in the field of the right to creative work.

‘Final reflections’ explains that as the understanding of markets and economic theory evolves, so does the application of competition law. With changing market and socio-political realities, these challenges become apparent. We need to consider the rise of digital markets and the threat of climate change, and assess the effect they have on the enforcement of competition and antitrust laws. What is the right formulation of competition policy? The key to effective competition law enforcement lies not in the pretence of purity or certainty, but in an open and informed debate on the law and economics, and the society to which we aspire.
