“The road matters not the goal”
The circumstances of the Gaza War highlight one of the main mistakes in the peacemaking between Israelis and Palestinians: both set such goals and requirements against each other of which parallel fulfilment exclude each other. "There is worse than a relationship regulated with rockets, air raids and walls -ignorance and indifference to the fate of others," writes the author.
Gaza: questions of international law
Had Israel the right to launch an attack against Gaza? Was it really an external attack that the Jewish State protected itself? By legal standards, were the Israeli military actions proportional and were they in accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law? The renowned international lawyer answers all the above questions with a definitely positive yes.
The long shadow of Ariel Sharon
The Gaza War was the consequence of the policy of force rooting in the revisionist Zionism of the 1920s and expanding after Ariel Sharon took power in 2001 – a policy that was backed by the Bush-doctrine securing the solid support of a superpower over eight years. It would be too early to answer the question how the apparently diverging US and Israeli politics in the region – after Barack Obama set his new priorities in the Middle-East – can be consolidated.
Whither antropology without a nation-state?
The science sociology and methodology study is aiming to answer the question what is the reason behind the supposed "supremacy" of the dominant western anthropology over the anthropology (ethnology, sociology and social science in general) research in the former state-socialist countries especially in Poland. Placing his argument in the context of world system analysis, the author concludes that the reason is that the political economy conditions of science have changed namely scientific knowledge became a product as well.
