Relying on the fact of by law guaranteed right on proportional representation of national minorities members in public authorities that has for years presented a big problem and challenge for the Republic of Croatia, Serb National Council (SNC) published the analysis Unrealized Rights and Failed Policies: Representation of National Minorities in State Administration, Judiciary and Police in March of 2014. The analysis was based on competent authorities' data about the representation of national minorities in stated institutions, highlighting the representation of Serbs followed and collected by SNC and the Independent Democratic Serbian Party Club in the Croatian Parliament between the middle of 2008 and the middle of 2013, respectively until the beginning of the EU membership of Republic of Croatia in July of 2013. The results of the analysis were devastating. It has been noticed that during the analysed period, despite the specific measures of the Government of Republic of Croatia, not only there was no improvement in realization of the rights, but previously achieved level of representation demonstrate tendencies of moderate to significant degradation. Former politics of the Government directed towards increasing the number of national minorities' members in competent authorities have been rated as useless, and stated reasonable doubt they were only fulfilling the form in order to meet the criteria of the EU entry negotiations. The conclusion, among other, stated the necessity for the Government and other competent authorities to undertake decisive, comprehensive and concrete measures in collaboration and with participation of national minorities' representatives and independent experts in the following period in order to implement the corresponding guaranteed rights.

Ce livre est d'abord une réaction au processus qui mène la France au bord de l'abîme, sur fond d'angoisses identitaires et de nostalgie de grandeur. Comment en est-on arrivé là ? À cette fragmentation de la société, à ces tensions intercommunautaires, au ressac effrayant de l'antisémitisme, du rejet de l'islam et de la haine de soi ? Comment en est-on arrivé à une logique de repli généralisée ? Comment la France a-t-elle pu céder en quelques années à la hantise d'un ennemi intérieur et au rejet de l'immigration ? Comment expliquer les blocages de la mémoire collective sur la colonisation ou l'esclavage ? Certes, nous ne sommes plus au « bon temps des colonies », mais certains ont la nostalgie de cet « ordre impérial », revendiqué comme l'idéal d'une « France blanche ». Et le mythe du « grand remplacement » va de pair désormais avec le fantasme du « grand départ » des immigrés issus des pays non européens et de leurs enfants. Nous en sommes là ! Il est grand temps de réagir.

"Not all of Oregon's pioneers were Christian farmers or bachelor prospectors. Indeed, many of the first brick buildings on Oregon's newly platted Main Streets were built by Jewish merchants whose services were essential to town founding and growth. In Embracing a Western Identity, Ellen Eisenberg places Jewish history in the larger context of Western narratives, challenging the traditional view that the 'authentic' North American Jewish experience stems from New York. The westward paths of Jewish Oregonians and their experiences of place shaped the communities, institutions, and identities they created, distinguishing them from other American Jewish communities. Eisenberg traces the Oregon Jewish experience from its pioneer beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century to the highly concentrated Portland communities of the mid-twentieth century. Drawing on extensive archival resources at the Oregon Jewish Museum, this historical commentary explores patterns of migration and settlement, the place of Jews in the state's ethnic landscape, their engagement in politics, the development of institutions, and their relationship to Zionism. Departing from familiar treatments of the Jewish experience, Embracing a Western Identity provides a critical look at the impact of place and opportunity upon the identities of migrants both as Oregonians and as American Jews. Readers and scholars interested in Western history--religious, ethnic, expansionist, and otherwise--will enjoy Eisenberg's accessible writing style and rich photograph collection"--
