Abstract

"This book is a result of fieldwork undertaken for the project Anthropology of Continuity and Change: Macedonian Poreče 80 Years after Józef Obrębski's Research" implemented at the University of Warsaw in the years 2012-2013. Our aim was to create a contemporary monograph on Poreče through critical analysis of collected field material, by posing the same or similar questions as Obrębski did 80 years ago. The research focused primarily on subjects explored by Obrębski, for instance family, yearly rituals, religion, magic, or the position of women in the rural society. Secondly we investigated new topics like the political, economic, and social changes related to the collapse of Yugoslavia and the painful transition process in Macedonia (from the Foreword by Karolina Bielenin-Lenczowska and Anna Engelking).

Abstract

This book explores issues of national identity, history, and language in light of the 2018 Prespa Agreement. Designed to resolve a protracted and bitter dispute, the agreement signed by the Macedonian and Greek foreign ministers on the banks of the Prespa lake stipulated that the Republic of Macedonia change its name to the Republic of North Macedonia.The chapters examine the social, political, and economic conditions and events that led to the agreement and the implications and consequences for identity politics in the region. Consideration is given to the ways in which, and the reasons why, identity/identities, difference/differences, modes of belonging, and experiences of injustice and discrimination have been mobilized. By focusing on the Prespa Agreement, the collection also offers valuable insight into the processes involved in (re)making boundaries, (re)defining ethnic and national identities, (re)inventing citizenship, and (re)writing national histories. Bringing together expert contributors with intimate knowledge of, and long-term engagement with, the region, this volume will be of interest to scholars and students of anthropology, Slavic and East European studies, history, and international relations.

Abstract

Driven by the Ohrid Framework Agreement (OFA), decentralisation in Macedonia is a policy choice for spurring national cohesion rather than an economic instrument for the more efficient delivery of services. The OFA resulted in a new Macedonian Constitution with policies related to the decentralisation process and equitable representation of communities. This book aims first to estimate the spending efficiency of Macedonian municipalities in service delivery from their own resources and, second, to ascertain the determinants of that efficiency. The ethnic fragmentation of municipalities is taken into account as a possible determinant of efficiency, which represents a novelty in such types of studies. We employ the DEA-VRS, Kernel and SFA estimation techniques to control for the robustness of our estimates. Our findings show that on average Macedonian municipalities exhibit low efficiency in service delivery, although there are significant variations among municipalities. The ethnic fragmentation of municipalities together with the population density, own tax revenues and political affiliation of the mayor with the leading political coalition at the state level explain differences in their efficiencies. More fragmented municipalities tend to be less efficient when providing services to citizens.

Abstract

Im Zuge der Eroberung Makedoniens durch Rom im Jahr 168 v. Chr. und der darauf folgenden Gesetzgebung veränderten sich die gesellschaftlichen Strukturen, wurden die königszeitlichen Führungsschichten zerschlagen. Wie konnte sich im Anschluß daran aus den heterogenen Identitätsgruppen der provinzialen Gesellschaft Makedoniens – Makedonen, Griechen, Thrakern, Illyrern, Epiroten, Kleinasiaten, Italikern und Römern – eine übergreifende Identität bilden? Frank Daubner geht dieser Frage anhand eines weiten Spektrums an Quellen nach und be-trachtet dabei die gesamte Provinz unabhängig von den heuti-gen Staatsgrenzen. Schwerpunkte setzt er bei der Untersuchung der römischen Gesetzgebung nach der Eroberung, der Integra-tion von römischen Kolonien und Kolonisten in die Provinzland-schaft und der augusteischen Zeit – in der sich anhand von In-schriften und Bauten erstmals die neuentstandene „provinziale“ Elite nachweisen läßt. Daubner kann so den chronologischen und regional differenzierten Prozeß zeigen, in dem sich aus den Überresten der zerstörten staatlichen und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen des Landes wieder eine funktionsfähige Gesellschaft entwickelte.
