The paper is concerned with pension systems in Western Europe. It discusses pension systems in Germany, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom. All these countries are welfare states, but their concrete parameters differ. Although the European Union does not recommend any concrete model of pension system, some tendencies are similar. All countries seek to save money. Most of them strengthen the principle of equivalence.

This article is a comparative review of performances of Western European and American authors in Slovak and Slovenian theatres in the two decades after World War II. First, we present a short historical context, comparing the political systems and cultural policies of both states. We define the importance of the selection of works for the repertoire(s) and then parallel them to the main characteristics, authors, and dramatic texts prevalent in that period. Second, we highlight the particularities of staging of the Western European and American authors in both cultural spaces, evaluate their importance, and explicitly determine the fundamental differences between the two theatre spaces and performing arts in the socialist system in general. Third, we expose the similarities and differences in the quantity and diversity of authors. This is done on the basis of the performances by institutional theatres, recorded in the repertoire databases of the respective countries. Everything deviating from the norm is located in a separate chapter, as a phenomenon, where we are looking for the reasons for (not) performing certain authors or poetics. The article functions as a review of the period, and seeks to shed light on theatre production in the Central European cultural area during the undemocratic socialist regime, regardless of basic differences between the two political systems.

Personal mobility and cultural transfer have been at the core of the archaeological research on Migration Period funerary assemblages since the 19th century. In the last few decades, a combination of progress in archaeological dating renewed theoretical approaches and consistent incorporation of archaeometrical and archaeobiological data has brought forward a much more accurate picture of the channels and players favouring the dissemination of manufactures, technologies and aesthetic tastes. However, regarding the latter, a substantial part of the scholarly contributions has focused its attention on the short-term perspective, thus privileging explanations based on historical events. This paper is an endeavour to explore the dissemination of fashion elements of Central and Eastern European origin in the late Roman West combining a short- and mid-term approach to the cemetery evidence with the examination of spatial and contextual data. The results show that the‘eastern fashions’ in the West had an autonomous evolution, deriving from the connections between production centres, distribution channels and personal networks as well as from the contacts with late Roman aesthetic tastes and values. It is argued that the exposure to a strong ‘mainstream’ culture is indeed not only a convincing explanation for the quick changes undergone by ‘eastern’ fashion in terms of production, accumulation and use of several fashion items, but also the main reason of its rather ephemeral character. The interaction between ‘Roman’ and ‘eastern’ fashions, it seems, developed according to a trickle-down model, which showed the Roman values having a noticeably dominant position. The peripheral position of the ‘easter’ fashions in the 5th century West is better mirrored by its general absence, or short-livedness, in cultural central places.

From the perspective of international security, the Georgia-Russian war was a restitution of the model of war to which the world prepared in the second half of the 20th century. The events of 2008 proved that in the 21st century, apart form the increasingly frequent asymmetrical conflicts, there is still a risk of the outbreak of a conventional international armed conflict. The article discusses the major geopolitical effects of the Georgian-Russian war with special emphasis on the role of NATO, the European Union, USA, Russia, Poland and Iran. The main hypothesis of the article is as follows: as a result of the conflict of August 2008 those who lost most were the Western states - the USA, the EU, NATO and Poland, proving their impotence or subjection to Russia. The effects of the conflict for Russia are prone to a twofold evaluation. On the one hand, the Kremlin strengthened its position in the Caucasus, on the other however, it lost the confidence of the public opinion in Western Europe. The greatest beneficiary of the war was Iran, as it gained time necessary for the development of its nuclear program.

This article explores the development of part-time employment in Central and Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe. The analysis of panel data reveals the role of part-time work determinants on the macro level and their different effects on part-time employment in the two groups of countries. The large set of determinants includes business cycle, labour market institutions and structural factors. The results indicate that part-time employment in the East and the West is influenced by different, mostly structural, factors. In the East, the development of business cycle has a significant adverse effect. Further, rigorous EPL limits the use of part-time contracts by firms in the East while higher trade union density, greater share of temporary jobs and widespread shadow economy all have a positive effect on part-time employment in this region.

The study examines the association between the ideology of multiculturalism and political correctness. The policy of multicultural correctness is becoming obsolete as a result of vanishing universal values and the need for trans-cultural harmony. Multiculturalism accompanies politically unlimited globalization where the criterion of social justice is replaced with the criterion of differentiation and where it is diminished to cultural differences. Multiculturalism as an emancipation tool may only function under the circumstances when human rights are treated primarily as social rights. The Islamism of the Western European ghetto abuses the disparity between the political and social rights. The return to the culture of the ancient homeland (=Islam) is a reaction to poverty and a form of protest against social powerlessness.

The aim of this paper was to develop a model that can forecast the bankruptcy of the companies using logistic regression model. The sample consists of 23 bankrupts and 30 healthy companies selected from the initial sample of all large active companies (1740 companies). The companies operate in the trade industry, sector wholesale in Western Europe, in the time period from 2010 to 2018. The logit model was based on the choice between 23 financial indicators. The obtained results with high accuracy showed that the most important bankruptcy predictors were the following five indicators: return on equity, current assets/ total assets, solvency, working capital turnover, stocks/current assets. The developed model provides an opportunity for all external stakeholders to easily identify companies that are facing the risk of bankruptcy. The possibility of the company’s bankruptcy prediction, the assessment of risk and threatened circumstances to continue business is crucial information for making all future business decisions with the company.

The paper deals with the normative democratic theory of the revolutionary Marxist and Trotskyite Czech dissident Petr Uhl (born in 1941). It describes the ambitions and analyses the problems of his main political work “Program of Society’s Self-Organization” written in the late 1970s. In this work Uhl attempted to describe, interpret, and criticize the existing political system in Czechoslovakia but also in the Western world and designed a normative democratic theory. The article also discusses the question of who influenced his thinking and answers two further questions: How was his “Program” perceived? and did Uhl change his political point of view in the years following the publication of his program?
