Transparency International’s yearly Corruption Perceptions Index ranks Scandinavia as one of the least corrupt regions in the world. However, during the past decades, large Scandinavian corporations in the telecommunications, oil and defence industries have – in their struggle for business contracts in other countries – been involved in several large-scale bribery scandals. There has also been a growing range of corruption cases in the Swedish and Norwegian public sectors. In many of these cases, investigative journalists have played a crucial role in the disclosure of corruption, sometimes cooperating across media organisations and countries, demonstrating the importance of journalism as a public good for democracy. In this article, we explore, discuss and analyse the work of and methods used by investigative journalists in revealing large-scale corruption related to the expansion of Nordic telecom companies in Uzbekistan.

Two significant phenomena that have occurred in the past few years have been emigration and the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. These events shook the world on a global level, causing political, economic, social and other consequences. These two crises seem to have been used to achieve certain political goals, both nationally and globally. Thus, political goals came to the fore in the defense against the crisis. However, the crisis of the pandemic is more relevant by nature, because it is about people's lives and health, globally, encompassing all countries, different nations, cultures, religions, but also different gender, age, education and other structures. The crisis of the pandemic and the fight against it is aggravated by migration, environmental, economic and other crises, which means that these are integrated crises to which an integrated or holistic response should be given. Medical and pharmaceutical science and the profession found themselves in a delicate situation, to respond to the challenges of mass infection with the C-19 virus, and both were not prepared to respond to the pandemic, and this disorientation caused "cracks" that led to undermined public confidence in medicine and the subordination of the medical profession to politics. This is more or less a statement that applies to the whole world, and especially to transition countries with a low level of democracy and without strong health, but also other institutions. The paper deals with the place and role of medical science and profession in the COVID-19 pandemic and the problems that led to the ideologisation, but also the commercialization of the pandemic. The aim of the paper is to point out certain problems in the management of the pandemic, so that they would not appear in the next mass crises

Ethical Responsibilities

The contemporary historian, as she or he speaks to the public about the origins and meanings of the present, has important ethical responsibilities. ‘Imperial’ historians, in particular, shape how politicians and the public imagine the future of the world. This article examines how British imperial history, as it emerged as an academic subject since about 1900, often lent ideological support to imperialism, while more generally it suppressed or avoided the role of violence and terror in the making and keeping of the Empire. It suggests that after 2001, and during the Iraq War, in particular, a new Whig historiography sought to retail a flattering narrative of the British Empire’s past, and concludes with a call for a post-patriotic imperial history which is sceptical of power and speaks for those on the underside of global processes.

“I have felt like working three times as hard as ever since I came to understand that my Lord was coming back again,” reported revivalist Dwight L. Moody, the most prominent of nineteenth-century premillennialists. Moody's testimony to the motivating power of premillennialism points to the crucial role of that eschatology in conservative Protestantism since the late nineteenth century—a role delineated by several studies within the past twenty-five years. As a comprehensive interpretation of history which gives meaning and pattern to past, present, and future, and a role for the believer in the outworking of the divine program, premillennialism has been a driving force in the fundamentalistand evangelical movements.

Security Problem

Zusammenfassung: War die Welt früher wirklich sicherer, gab es weniger Gewalt, und war die Jugend friedlicher? Die entsprechende Krisenfeststellung mit Blick auf die Gegenwart erfordert eine Entgegnung. Der Aufsatz diskutiert die Konsequenzen aus solchen Bildern und Wahrnehmungen, in denen Jugend als ein Sicherheitsproblem konstruiert wird. Eine solche Rahmung hat Folgen, die sowohl im Umgang mit Jugendlichen als auch in der Kommunikation zwischen gesellschaftlichen Gruppen problematische Auswirkungen haben kann. Es werden die Begriffe Sicherheit und Gewalt als solche kritisch diskutiert und ihre Verwendung im Hinblick auf eine Jugend untersucht, von der, so wird behauptet, eine Gefahr für die gesellschaftliche Sicherheit ausgehen soll.Abstract: Has the world really been safer in the past? Was there less violence and youth more peaceful? Such a crisis oriented diagnosis of the present demands an objection. The article discusses the consequences of such images and perceptions, in which youth is constructed as a security problem. This kind of framing has further implications for both, regarding relations towards young people, as well as concerning the communication between social groups in general. The article critically discusses the concepts of security and violence respectively and takes a look at how these are used to deal with a youth which is said to threaten society’s security.

This study sets out to investigate, examine and understand the hidden ideologies and ideological structures/devices in the 2013 State of the Nation Address of President John Dramani Mahama. The study specifically aimed to (i) ascertain the ideologies embedded in the speech and (ii) investigate linguistic expressions and devices which carry these ideological colourations in the speech under review. It uses Critical Discourse Analysis as the theoretical framework to examine the role of language in creating ideology as well as the ideological structures in the speech. These hidden ideologies are created, enacted and legitimated by the application of certain linguistic devices. The researchers deem a study of this nature important as it will expose hidden motives that Ghanaian presidents cloth in language in order to manipulate their audience through their speeches in order to win and/or sustain political power. Through thematic analysis, it was revealed that Mahama projected these ideologies in his speech: ideology of positive self-representation, ideology of human value, ideology of economic difficulty, ideology of power relations and ideology of urgency. It also revealed that Mahama projects his ideologies through the following ideological discursive structures: pronouns, biblical allusion and metaphor. The study has shown that language plays a crucial role in human existence as a means of socialisation. Language has been revealed as a means of communicating ideologies and events of the world. In the tradition of CDA, this study has confirmed that text and talk have social and cultural character and that discourse functions ideologically.

Separate Discipline

Abstract In this article I demonstrate that the ideas outlined in Jerzy Topolski’s Methodology of History (Polish 1968, English translation 1976) could not only offer a reference point for and indeed enrich ongoing debates in the philosophy of history, but also help to set directions for future developments in the field. To support my argument, I focus on two themes addressed in Topolski’s work: 1) the understanding of the methodology of history as a separate discipline and its role both in defending the autonomy of history and in creating an integrated knowledge of the past, which I read here through the lens of the current merging of the humanities and natural sciences; and 2) the role of a Marxist anthropocentrism based on the notion of humans as the creators of history, which I consider here in the context of the ongoing critique of anthropocentrism. I point to the value of continuing to use concepts drawn from Marxist vocabulary, such as alienation, emancipation, exploitation and overdetermination, for interpreting the current state of the world and humanity. I stress that Marxist anthropocentrism, with its support for individual and collective agency, remains crucial to the creation of emancipatory theories and visions of the future, even if it has faced criticism for its Eurocentrism and might seem rather familiar and predictable when viewed in the context of the contemporary humanities. Nevertheless, new manifestations of Marxist theory, in the form of posthumanist Marxism and an interspecies historical materialism that transcends anthropocentrism, might play an important role in redefining the humanities and humanity, including its functions and tasks within human and multispecies communities.

Accountability Practices

In the past decade, however, accountability has become a major concern in most parts of the world. Governments, parliaments, and society at large are increasingly asking universities to justify the use of public resources and account more thoroughly for their teaching and research results. The universal push for increased accountability has made the role of university leaders much more demanding. The successful evolution of higher education institutions will hinge on finding an appropriate balance between credible accountability practices and favorable autonomy conditions.
