Human development has made remarkable social and economic progress possible for most of us but has also entailed a range of serious impacts on natural resources, local communities and the economy at multiple scales. Thus, achieving sustainable territorial management that combines healthy and prosperous societies with the long-term maintenance of biodiversity and productive ecosystem services remains the biggest challenge of our modern world. This Special Issue seeks to collect a coherent set of studies on techniques and experiences (case studies) aimed at increasing the environmental, social, economic and/or institutional sustainability of landscapes and seascapes from a range of geographic and socioeconomic contexts. Ten case studies representing urban areas, rural areas (chiefly protected areas) and coastal areas from four countries in Europe and Asia by internationally renowned authors are shown.

As one of the most influential books of the 19th century, 'Socialism' by John Stuart Mill changed the shape of political discourse around the world. This book is set at the intersection of social order and individual liberty, with political and economic ideas analyzed against a backdrop of social theory. Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism -- an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham that contributed greatly to the scientific method. In this title, Mill put forward a conception of personal freedom in opposition to unlimited state and social control. 'Socialism' has fresh import due to the persistence of social and economic injustice around the world. As one of liberalism's most strident defenders, Mill advocates fundamental principles of humanism without dismissing socialist forms of economic organization.In a modern world that simplifies the complex relationship between individual liberty and collective growth, this book is a powerful reminder that freedom and socialism are not mutually exclusive. As the self-corrective properties of the market continue to break down, 'Socialism' is more relevant than ever before.

Although Alasdair MacIntyre is best known today as the author of After Virtue (1981), he was, in the 1950's and 1960's, one of the most erudite members of Britain’s Marxist Left: being a militant within, first, the Communist Party, then the New Left, and finally the heterodox Trotskyist International Socialism group. This selection of his essays on Marxism from that period aims to show that his youthful thought profoundly informed his mature ethics, and that, in the wake of the collapse of the state-capitalist regimes in Russia and Eastern Europe, the powerful and optimistic revolutionary Marxist ethics of liberation he articulated in that period is arguably as salient to anti-capitalist activists today as it was half a century ago.

Problematike naratívnej každodennosti socializmu sme sa začali venovať v grantovom tíme pri príležitosti 15. výročia Nežnej revolúcie. V roku 2004 zorganizoval Ústav etnológie SAV v spolupráci s Ústavom pamäti národa medzinárodnú interdisciplinárnu konferenciu Malé dejiny veľkých udalostí v Česko(a) Slovensku po roku 1948, 1968, 1989, kde sme sa zamerali na aktuálne a mnohé dovtedy tabuizované témy vedeckého výskumu spoločnosti v období totality (dávam prednosť slovu socializmus). Výstupom konferencie bola publikácia s rovnakým názvom Malé dejiny veľkých udalostí v Česko(a) Slovensku po roku 1948, 1968, 1989. L, 11. (Profantová, ed. 2004), a tiež anglicky dopracovaná verzia Small History of Great Events in Czechoslovakia after 1948, 1968 and 1989 (Profantová, ed. 2006). V publikácii sme prevažne metódou oral history a ďalšími kvalitatívnymi metódami poukázali na mnohé problémy minulosti, ale aj transformujúcej sa spoločnosti.
