This editorial reflects on an aspect of the root causes of the current refugeeand migrant influx into Europe: Can the Muslim world’s extremist elements,who brazenly continue to dare the international community, be decisively defeatedso that peace and tranquility can be restored to the Middle East and theworld at large? I contend that this menace can be decisively eliminated. However,and most importantly, the international community – all of its potentials,commitments, and declarations notwithstanding – lacks a genuine unity ofpurpose and a strong will to defeat it.A Brief ClarificationThe definition of a terrorist is simple and clear, and yet there is no consensusor objectivity on whom and how to apply it.1Although any individual or groupthat terrorizes others can be described as terrorist, people tend to ascribe it onlyto those with whom they disagree (mainly Muslims). Thus when their “kind”or allies engage in similar acts they are not terrorists.2All those who use violenceto terrorize others need to be labeled terrorists, regardless of their politicaland religious affiliations. I employ violent Muslim extremists here because itaccurately describes the people I have in mind: Those Muslims who are violentand extremist, and nobody else. But terrorist can – and should – be applied toanyone who uses violence against others ...

Recently, scientists from different fields of scientific knowledge have actively turned to the analysis of social development within the framework of the picture of the world as its specific construct, the mechanism of interaction between man and society. The theoretical foundations of the research of modern scientists in the field of research are the work of the classics of philosophy, sociology, natural sciences, etc. V. von Humboldt created the concept of a picture of the world, based on the introduction of such concepts as “internal form” and “spirit of the people”.There is no universally accepted definition of the concept of “picture of the world” in science, which is explained by the dynamism of modern reality, the polysemy of the concept itself, and its inconsistency. The picture of the world is understood as a generalized image of the surrounding reality, created in the process of human perception of the world and existing in the form of scientific knowledge, concepts, laws, and everyday consciousness. The picture of the world is an objective world of two, an epistemological construct. The article assesses various approaches to the study of the picture of the world in modern scientific knowledge: philosophical, sociological, natural – scientific, etc. The levels of the picture of the world are distinguished: scientific and ordinary, their features are described. The analysis of the concept “picture of the world” in the works of modern scientists is the theoretical and methodological basis for the study of the picture of the world in art, which has its specificity and reflects the world in the minds of the creator. Creating a picture of the world in artistic creativity represents an understanding of the world around us in individual consciousness. The concept of “a picture of the world in the artist’s work” is revealed by the example of an analysis of the works of a Chinese painter Hai Zhi Han, a member of the Union of Chinese artists, a teacher at the Inner Mongolia Pedagogical University. Keywords: picture of the world, creator, picture of the world in the artist’s work, anti-rationality, expressionism


Nation and nationalism are one of the most discussed terms in modern academics and popular media. India has embraced the people, practices, cuisines, customs, faiths, rituals, religions from different parts of the world. And it is an ever growing accommodative spirit of India and its nationalism.

This chapter traces how interwar Armenian, Assyrian, and Jewish activists in Europe and the United States lobbied at the national and international levels for the creation of minority ethnic “homelands” supported by the international community – campaigns that became important sources of legitimacy for British, French, and League attempts to remake the demographic order of the Middle East over the protests of local actors.

This chapter argues that for the classical Confucian account of punitive expedition to be relevant to the modern international world and to be the theory of humanitarian intervention, focused on the suffering of the people rather than the moral qualification of the intervening ruler, it must undergo a democratic reconstruction with full attention to the circumstances of modern politics on both national and international levels. It argues that applying Confucian virtue politics, as it is, to the modern pluralist world as a form of political meritocracy is difficult to justify due to both internal and external obstacles posed by value pluralism, domestically as well as internationally. It stipulates that intervention be morally justified, first to the people of the intervening state, second to those who are intervened, and third to the international community, which has a moral duty to protect the well-being of the people in the world.

Democracy refers to the rule of the people. It is a system of representational government wherein people have the right to determine their social, economic and political course. Over the past centuries and decades, as the world has been embracing democracy, as a political ideal, some parts of the globe lag behind. Middle East, with its unique history and geographic importance being one among them; remains the center of discussion. Within the Middle East itself, Lebanon enjoys a very special position; not only for geo-political and economic reasons, but more so for its peculiar demographics. Divided among 18 recognized confessions, Lebanon offers a rich blend of fracture and unity. It is this mix of a small yet diverse society, limping its way towards an inclusive and successful polity that has been put to light in this paper. With its internal nuances and external flavors; Lebanon offers a test for the metal of democracy. The challenges it has and is still facing, and the prospects it enjoys for the future have been delved in this essay.

Abstract Modern constitutions play, to a larger or lesser extent, several simultaneous political functions, including the definition of a rights-based political order, the organization of state powers, and the crafting of the nation. Feminist analysis of constitutional law has so far primarily focused on the denial or limitation of an equal rights status to women since the inception of constitutions. More recently, it has also challenged the gender composition of state institutions as well as the gendered implications of the various forms of government and power structures. In times of worldwide expanding nationalism, serious reflection on the many ways in which nationalism has always been, and still is, a gendered enterprise is called for. Relying on the categories identified in the work of Yuval-Davis, this article distinguishes between nationalist ideologies that focus on the definition of citizenship in specific states and territories (the “Staatnation”), those that place an emphasis on specific cultures or religions (the “Kulturnation”), and those that are constructed around the specific origin of the people and its continuation into the future (the “Volknation”). This article also shows, relying on the example of several contemporary constitutional struggles across the world, how these three dimensions of nationalism often continue to deny equal constitutional citizenship to women and sexual minorities.
