This article is a reinterpretation of the unconstitutional change of government in Madagascar between March 2009 and October 2014 plaguing the country into a political and security crisis. The chain of events had begun with the forced removal from power of the incumbent, President Marc Ravalomanana on 17 March 2009. Barely three days later, the leader of the civil society protest group, Andry Rajoelina, announcing that he had assumed power and the presidency. Almost immediately, the sub-regional body, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) during its Extraordinary Summit in Swaziland on 30th March 2009, invoked Article 30 of the July 2002, African Union (AU)’s Constitutive Act, suspending Madagascar’s membership and imposing sanctions until the constitutional order was restored. SADC’s mandate to intervene in order to maintain peace and security in any of the fifteen Member-States was provided under Article 4 (h) and 4 (j) of the AU’s Constitutive Act. Adopting the position taken by SADC, imposing sanctions on the political developments that involved the military unconstitutional change of government, the AU, the United Nations, the European Union (EU), the Organization of Francophonie States (OIF) and the United States also followed suit, effectively isolating the island state from continental and global, diplomatic, economic relations. However, what was not clear then was the role France had played behind the scenes in creating the crisis. Furthermore, it was not fully appreciated how Paris continued to influence and undermining the SADC intervention throughout the period of impasse. It was only at the end of the impasses, when Paris’ proxy and protégé was installed back in power that this became apparent. The common thread running through the French intervention was to dissuade SADC from adopting military measures to restore constitutional order. In achieving this constant, France had invited the United States to become complicit in propping up its foreign policy interests towards perpetuating its “le village Francafriquie” policy in Madagascar, Mayotte and Reunion.

Switzerland is often referred to as a success story for handling its linguistic and cultural diversity. Traditionally four languages have been spoken in relatively homogeneous territories: German, French, Italian and Rhaeto- Romanic (Romansh). The first three have been national languages since the foundation of the Confederation in 1848; the fourth became a national language in 1938. In effect, The Law on Languages, in effect since 2010, has regulated the use and promotion of languages and enhanced the status of Romansh as one of the official languages since 2010. While Swiss language policy is determined at the federal level, it is in the actual practice a matter for cantonal implementation. Article 70 of the Swiss Federal Constitution, titled “Languages”, enshrines the principle of multilingualism. A recent project to create legislation to implement multilingualism across the cantons, however, has failed. Thus Switzerland remains de jure quadrilingual, but de facto bilingual at best, with only a handful of cantons recognizing more than one official language (Newman, 2006: 2). Cantonal borders are not based on language: the French-German language border runs across cantons during most of its course from north to south, and such is also the case for Italian.

Mankind seems to be accompanied by conflict since the beginning. Howev- er, as the concept of having a range of meaning, appeared quite late. In poli- tics, there are many sources of conflict. It is important to be able to resolve the conflict even in its early stage. Knowledge of conflict can help solve it. Unless the conflict becomes a tool of the political fight.

The concept of creativity is present in all areas of human activity, including modern foreign languages teaching and learning (the field of pedagogy, didactics and methodology). According to Encyclopedia of Giftedness, Creativity and Talent (2009: 200) "[c]reativity can be understood only if it is clearly defined”. It is vital to note that members of the National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education (NACCCE), established in 1998 by the Secretary of State for Education and Employment and the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in England distinguish between the idea of teaching creatively (in an interesting and effective manner), and teaching for creativity (developing students' individual abilities to think and act creatively which, as a matter of fact, is carried out in three steps: encouraging, identifying and fostering).

The paper focuses on short run macroeconomic dynamics triggered by dem and side shocks. In particular, the paper analyzes, in a general equilibrium framework, the impact of transitory demand side shocks on the behavior of macroeconomic variables and examines the relevance of policy instruments during downturns in economics activity. The paper establishes that transitory shocks can have persistent effects. It shows that stabilization is desirable even if shocks are transitory in nature. In particular, the article reveals that debt financed government spending is a diable stabilization tool and can improve welfare at all horizons even though it inhibits physical capital formation.

The author of the opinion claims that a Deputy who makes a statement about his/her financial condition, should include information about insurance policy on life as financial resources, which are the subject of art. 35 (1.1) of the Act on Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy and Senator (in point I of the form of the statement). The obligation of presenting such policy exists only when an insurance contract makes verification of the amount currently being on the account of the insured person possible and that person can manage the funds col‑ lected on the account. A Deputy who does not declare such insurance policy, might be subject to criminal liability, if the not declaring that part of his/her finances was intentional. In such a case, a Deputy might be also subject to statutory responsibility.

Subjective well-being encompasses several distinct but interacting aspects of people’s feelings, attitudes, and experiences. This paper assesses the state of the art for measuring these dimensions of people's lives, which typically involves analyzing self-reports of subjective well-being collected in survey instruments; however, other potentially complementary, technology-driven tools are emerging as well. We first answer the question, “what is subjective well-being?” and unpack its multidimensionality. The role of national statistics offices in measuring subjective well-being and deriving official statistics is considered next. We conclude by discussing how different characteristics of well-being constructs shape their applicability to policy. The overarching conclusion is that–while methodological limitations are present and a number of fundamental research challenges remain–understanding of how to collect and interpret data on subjective well-being has made enormous strides in the last two decades, and policies for a wide range of domains are beginning to be usefully informed.

In this article the problem concerning the politics etymology and safety strategy in the conditions of challenges and risks of XXI century is considered by the author. Furthermore the necessity to define the politics and strategy in the subjective and objective areas is justified. At this point the author strictly stresses the significance of these two categories of concepts in respect to the national and global safety strategy. In his considerations, the author does not diminish the significance of the safety strategy in relation to the politics as the science about state, but consciously places the politics at the first position, because the politics generates and defines precisely the perspective aims regarding safety. Strategy specifies the methods, manners and means of realization of these purposes respectively. The special authors attention is paid to the need of scientific analysis of semantic contents of these two categories of terminology and its mutual relations. In order to achieve the goals specified by the politics, the conditions of its realization by the means of safety strategy must exist.

The article attempts to trace the discourse of the press about youth from the perspective of twenty years of transition appearing in media communications by „Gazeta Wyborcza”, „Dziennik. Polska-Europa-Świat”, „Tygodnik Powszechny” and „Przegląd Polityczny”. Discursive construction of reality is treated as a social activity. Symbolic activity understood as ways of defining reality for young people, is, in my opinion, a key to try to answer questions about youth identity, position and role in the social world. Analysis were based on eight debates with the participation of young people. The analysis allowed to reconstruct a complete pictures of each debate, which were then presented in the form of graphic diagrams. It helped to restore the views of young people, the world around them, their place in it, subject of their concerns, fears, anxieties, dreams, life goals, values, etc. What is more, that knowledge reveal four collective representation of youth: “Generation ‘68”, “Generation ‘89”, “Generation 2000”, “Generation 2010”: and conditions under which they were created. Analysis are testimony to the progressive deconstruction of cultural tools, by which young people could define themselves in terms of a community. As a result, in discourse there appear a pragmatic and individualistic attitudes to reality and materialization of the awareness of young people.

The aim of the article is to illustrate policy considerations on bureaus, presented in the TV series The Wire. We plan to show that significant theoretical contributions to the economics of bureaucracy have been well presented by the creators of the show. It could even be stated that this series is the first TV treatise about social institutions, bureaus in particular. The first section describes inherent causes limiting implementations of political plans. The second section focuses on the series’ most significant contribution, that is portraying the hyperparametrization of bureaus. The third section relates methodological individualism to the context of bureaucratic determinism.

This special issue focuses on histories, pedagogies, policies, philosophies and alternative perspectives in early childhood education. Te Whāriki is heralded as the first bicultural curriculum not only in New Zealand, but in the world. Its importance is reflected in national and international research and early childhood discourses. Despite this, there is simultaneous critique of neoliberal policy, globalised practices and public and private investment in early childhood education in this region. Some lessons from New Zealand, of curriculum building, policy implementation, philosophies and sociologies of children and childhood are explored by New Zealand scholars, and focus on these broad New Zealand perspectives of ECE, to address the diverse interests of an international audience.

The internationalization of higher education has become a strategic priority for governments because of the benefits expected to derive from it in the economic, political, socio-cultural and academic spheres. Nevertheless, a review of the academic literature on internationalization in higher education reveals that the concept of “internationalization” has been understood and applied in a variable manner. Considering that internationalization is a central theme in higher education research and practice, this state of affairs is problematic. In response to this situation, this article proposes the establishment of a conceptual typology for the analysis of national internationalization policies as a solution. In turn, such a heuristic device will ease knowledge accumulation, cross-case comparability and disciplined use of terms and procedures. The paper ends by dispelling common concerns related to classifications.
