Since the late 20th century, humanity has faced several challenges that make us feel increasingly vulnerable. Increasing territorial and social disadvantages, lagging regions and municipalities, the drastic deterioration of the quality of life of the people living there, economic processes and sustainability issues are matters that frequently generate wide public debates in society and, concurrently, necessitate social collaboration. Therefore, recent years have seen a growing focus on social innovations that can respond to these challenges in a complex way. In parallel, in response to changing socio-economic expectations, by the end of the 20th century, higher education institutions faced several new challenges. The "third mission" of higher education institutions, that is, the concept of social responsibility of higher education institutions fits in with these activities. Since the author has been working in higher education for 25 years, she has also become interested in the social responsibility of higher education institutions. She has also involved predominantly in social innovation projects, she participate in research on social innovation and do so in a higher education context - it is these two areas that shall be linked in this book. The aim of the present volume is thus to fill a gap by linking the fields of social innovation and higher education, and thereby facilitate reflection for stakeholders of higher education, innovation practitioners, policymakers and the general public interested in this subject matter.

This book examines the profound transformation that has occurred in Ukrainian society as a result of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The Fascist Character as Enigma offers a new reading of Italy's 'divided memory' of fascism by way of an unconventional point of view: that of the villain.

A foreign affairs journalist for 60 years, Jonathan Power has traveled all over the world, writing, besides his column in the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times, long articles for Encounter and Prospect magazines, eight books on foreign affairs and many TV and radio documentaries, mainly for the BBC, one of which won the silver medal at the Venice Film Festival. Power has probably been published on the opinion pages of the principal US newspapers more than any other European. He has interviewed over 70 of the world's most famous and influential presidents, prime ministers, and political and literary icons including Ignacio Lula da Silva, Indira Gandhi, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Georgi Arbatov, Sonia Gandhi, Willy Brandt, Helmut Schmidt, Olusegun Obasanjo, Julius Nyerere, James Baldwin, Andy Young, Jesse Jackson, Manmohan Singh and Paul McCartney. Notably, Power was the first journalist to report at length in English on the trafficking of African migrants across the Sahara and into France. This inspired his first novel, "The Human Flow"- a love story set against the backdrop of the migrant flow from West Africa to Paris and London. In addition to his writing, Power has consulted for organizations such as the Aspen Institute, the International Red Cross, the World Council of Churches, and the International Fund for Agricultural Development, UNICEF, and the Catholic Church¿s Commission for Justice and Peace in England and Wales.

Francisco Gaona traces the evolution of the signal calls of anthropoid apes and early hominids to the vocalized phonic utterances of speech.

The reflections and deliberations in this book represent different aspects of the publishing, scholarly and media activity of the former Soviet political prisoner and Jewish-Ukrainian public intellectual, as well as co-initiator of Ukraine's First of December Group, Joseph Zissels, over the past years. The book starts with outlines of Zissels's self-understanding and comprehension of his involvement in the dissident movement. Based on his own research, the author offers his model of seeing modern Ukraine through the prism of the coordinates basic to the European system of values. The main themes of the book's articles, lectures and interviews are civil society, identity formation, social tolerance, and Jewishness.The book's title has been chosen, by the author, from Psalm 5, Verse 2 of the Complete Jewish Bible: "Give ear to my words, Adonai, consider my inmost thoughts."

Nationalism has long been the subject of analysis and debate. Has it been a positive or negative factor in human development? Since nationalism first took hold in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, scholars have developed various theories and historical narratives to describe this worldwide ideological and political phenomenon. But how does nationalism work? How do certain groups of people become nationalities? What concrete mechanisms have been adopted by governments and/or intellectual leaders to transform often disparate individuals into groups who become conscious of their common identity and distinctiveness from others? No new theory of nationalism is put forth in From Nowhere to Somewhere. Rather, in a memoiristic and clearly personal manner, the text provides a kind of nuts-and-bolts guide to nationality-building. It focuses on developments during the last half century among Carpatho-Rusyns, or Ruthenians, a numerically mid-sized stateless people living in the heart of Europe and among the diaspora it has spawned in the United States. To paraphrase the most famous person of Carpatho-Rusyn ancestry, Andy Warhol, the reader of this book will discover how Carpatho Rusyns, a previously unknown people from nowhere, have become recognized and can now be found somewhere.

This book begins with an examination of the powers of the UN General Assembly and the legal character of its resolutions, analyzing the UN Charter and related documents, as well as the interpretation of relevant provisions by the International Court of Justice, the General Assembly itself, and international legal doctrine. The author analyzes the UN General Assembly resolutions from 2014 through 2023 on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, condemnation of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, war crimes committed by its political and military leadership and Russian citizens, the legal responsibility of the Russian Federation and its citizens, as well as the parameters of a future just and lasting peace.

Ukraine is again-since its annexation of Crimea in February 2014 and the ongoing war in the Donbass-the stage of the largest crisis in Europe since the end of the Cold War. When it comes to understanding the resolution and prevention of complex hybrid conflicts, theories in international relations are trapped in their state-centered perspectives. Meanwhile, the role of the individual actor, alone or organized, often remains underestimated as political and moral agent. In this book, Marc Raphael Dietrich sheds light on a critical yet politically practicable notion of cosmopolitanism which centers on the individual and is framed by a set of universal principles, thus providing valuable alternative insights on the Crimea and Donbas conflict.
