The main topic of the article is the identity of Pilsen, a city in Western Bohemia, from 1860 to the end of the First Czechoslovak Republic in 1938. The aim is to show several ‘proposals’ of the identity and to examine why some of them won and other vanished. The author is therefore seeking the answer to the question how is the urban identity formed, why is it gaining support (and vice versa), who articulates it and where lies the main legitimization. This is all happening during complex social processes. In 1938, Pilsen was town renown for its industry and it was home to many political and nationalist organizations. However, industrialization (or generally speaking modernization), modern nationalism and mass political movements were quite weak or even absent in 1860. Urban identity was to a certain extent formed by these processes. Black Pilsen was associated with the industry, Red Pilsen with the socialist movement and Loyal Pilsen with the nationalist movement. But we should not think of it as a mechanical process, meanings could change and do. Identity, self-understanding and self-projection, is not independent of the will and abilities of people. The method of this article could thus be compared to a dialogue, dialogue between Czechs and Germans, between the political parties, between the elites and their clients, between the region and the center. It could be one-sided dialogue, but dialogue still.

The following paper proposes, for the fi rst time, an exhaustive overview over the situation of the late-Hellenistic local elites of the Syrian tetrapolis (Antiochia, Seleucia, Apamea, Laodicea), a fi rst part concerning the late-Seleucid situation from the death of Antiochus IV onwards, a second one the movemented decades of the Armenian, Parthian and Roman Republican era. Both parts fi rst analyse the general political situation of the Syrian elites on the basis of our literary and numismatical sources in order to sketch the interaction between the respective communal and the imperial level, then systematically discuss the prosopographical evidence.

Liberal capitalist democracy is a universal socio-political project of our age. But this project is in crisis and in decline. The current crisis of democracy caused by the Darwinist spirit of the late capitalist order only proves that democracy is an instrument for strengthening the dominant positions of the ruling liberal elites. In other words, democracy, in particular liberal democracy as a hegemonic form of the contemporary global democratic project, functions as a formal ideological-instrumental framework for the reproduction of the dominant position of a ruling class serving the interests of the few, not the many. In this way, anti-democratic sentiments among the masses are fuelled almost everywhere in both Western and non-Western cultures where political elites have assumed a formal democratic mask. Furthermore, the existing crisis of the Western liberal democratic project has given crucial benefits for the revival of anti-elitist populism in the contemporary world. The goal of this paper is to critically examine the fate of democracy in modern times as well as to shed light once again on the crisis of the liberal conception of democracy, including its concomitant pathologies, resistances, and political and social consequences.
