The common phenomenon in all these countries is transition fatigue," said Gergely Hudecz, a political analyst with the DZ Bank in Budapest. "The electorate has had enough of reforms. "People thought there was something like a Marshall Plan for the eastern part of Europe that would automatically allow us to reach the richest countries in the union," [Mikulas Dzurinda] told The Associated Press. "Now I notice something like frustration." Still, 15 years ago, "we produced tanks and military goods for all armies of the former Soviet bloc and we produced no car, no automobile," he said. "Now Slovakia produces no tanks but one million cars per year."
Religiosity has been largely overlooked by many studies on intergenerational support despite growing evidence to its significant role in shaping parent-child relationship. This study aims (1) to examine the congruence between commitment to eldercare and actual parental care in five countries; and (2) to investigate the role of religiosity in predicting the development of filial norms and the enactment of such norms to actual supportive behavior toward parents. Latent class analyses (LCA) and logistic regression analyses were performed using a sub-sample from the Role of Old Age Service Systems and Intergenerational Family Solidarity (OASIS) study, a nationally representative sample of four European countries (Norway, England, Spain, and Germany) and Israel (N=2,327). LCA demonstrated th...
This paper sets the current debate about Canada's criminal law prohibiting polygamy in an historical, social and legal context, and argues that this law is constitutionally valid and sound social policy. Unlike the recognition of same-sex marriage, which promoted equality and saved government resources, the recognition of polygamy would promote inequality and impose costs on Canadian society. The social reality of polygamy is often exploitative of women and harmful to children, and its practice is contrary to fundamental Canadian values. If Canada's prohibition on polygamy is ruled unconstitutional, we would likely have to allow immigration by polygamous families. Western European countries, which allowed immigration by polygamous families in the past, experienced significant social and...
China should abandon the Big Country and Big Company complex, promote trade and economic cooperation with the other small European countries and European middle or small enterprises. Belgian trade-oriented industrial development model-namely to support middle and small high-tech enterprises, government-NGO-financial institutions direct communication, to set up high efficiency economy, to support and prosper economy through foreign trade, to engage in economic adjustment in proper time, trade expansion accompanying technical innovation-can offer certain beneficial experiences to China's trade and economic cooperation with other middle and small European countries, to China's ongoing economy transformation, and also to construct an innovative strong China.
Many contemporary immigrants belong to transnational families-families that maintain significant contact with two or more countries. These families identify with multiple environments and deal with life-cycle changes over extensive geographical space. This paper has two major aims: 1) to better understand how today's immigrant families facilitate intergenerational relationships across significant distances; and 2) to learn more about the understudied population of recent immigrant professionals from Eastern Europe in the United States. To accomplish mese aims, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 immigrant mothers and fathers from Eastern European countries residing in the United States. Based on grounded theory methodology, we identified four themes: (1) The definitio...
While South Africa and Eastern European countries struggle to establish democracies, it is China that has become an economic power, with its goods dominating store shelves, while bringing with it a litany of consumer issues here and environmental and human rights issues there.

Government officials are continuing to consult internally," said [Daniel Barbarie]. "We should have something soon. "The synthetics cost five to 10 times more and we don't know how noxious they are to our health when we breathe them in," he said. "Countries that produce them are those that want them banned, essentially European countries." He said Canada's continued support for the asbestos industry is "corporate welfare for serial killers."
The article explores male and female farmers' practices and attitudes towards different aspects of nature and resource use in the context of the Norwegian system of summer farming (seterbruk). This represents a new and unique arena for exploring gender relations, as summer fanning in Norway -in contrast to many other European countries - has been an exclusively female arena. We ask whether men and women practice summer farming differently. We base our analysis on personal interviews with farmers and build upon some of the dimensions found in theories of the 'female principle' as conceptualized within feminism. Our main findings indicate that there are no evidential gender differences in attitudes and practices following the logic of biological sex, when considering nature and resource m...
