Round table discussion on self-government

When thinking about the idea of self-government, first we have to determine what we mean by this category. The participants of the discussion – a member of the council of the Alliance of Free Democrats, one of the most interesting figures of contemporary Hungarian economics, a founding member of BAL (Left Alternative) and a leader of Néppárt (People's Party) – first analyse how they interpret self-government and then outline their arguments for and against it. They try to determine the sphere where the principle of self-government can be applied, as well as its conditions and limitations. The round table discussion will continue in the next issue of the periodica.

Self-government in the fighting Spanish Republic (1936-1939) From documents of collectivisation in Catalonia and Aragon

The author analyzes the rural self-governments led by anarchists that existed for a relatively long period of time during the Spanish civil war, interpreting the given historical situation of the 1930s and confronting it with the present conditions. In the appendix, there is the resolution adopted at the peasant congress on the collectivization of the land.
