Lietuvos profesinės sąjungos pasižymi menku mokslinio pažinimo lygiu: trūksta duomenų apie sąjungų narystę, veiklą, sektoriaus sandarą ir esmines problemas. Apibūdinant įvairių šalių sąjungas, dažnai analizuojami sektoriaus sandaros aspektai, atspindintys sąjungų pasiskirstymą, organizavimą. Sandara tyrinėjama įvertinant santykinius dydžius, skaičiuojant centralizacijos ir koncentracijos, fragmentacijos indeksus. Apskaičiuoti indeksai rodo gana ryškią Lietuvos profesinių sąjungų sektoriaus decentralizaciją, aukštą koncentraciją tarp nacionalinių centrų, todėl konkurencija nėra didelė. Tačiau įvertinus apytikslę nepriklausomų sąjungų santykinę dalį, koncentracijos indeksas rodo išaugusią konkurenciją. Absoliučia vidine konkurencija pasižymi daugiau nei du (...) trečdalius profesinių sąjungų nacionalinių centrų narių vienijanti Lietuvos sąjunga. Tokia situacija, tikėtina, nėra palanki sąjungos, kaip centralizuotos jėgos, įvaizdžiui derybose su kitais industrinių santykių (IS) dalyviais. (shrink)

a new era of public protest began in 1999 with the Seattle World Trade Organization demonstrations, and continued through the 2011 Occupy Wall Street protests and the 2013 Gezi Park insurrection in Istanbul. This new era of demonstrations differed from movements that had come before in the understanding of politics employed by the protesters, reconstructing popular imaginations about the future, bringing about a reconsideration of politics, its domain, and time itself.This article investigates the Occupy Gezi movement that began in Gezi (...)

This is the first complete English translation of the Jami al-hikmatayn, written in Persian, the final, and crowning, work of the great poet, philosopher, and Ismaili missionary Nasir-i Khusraw (1004-1077). Twin Wisdoms Reconciled was written at the request of the emir of Badakhshan 'Abu al-Ma'ali 'Ali ibn Asad' who was perplexed by the questions in a long philosophical ode written a century earlier by Abu al-Haytham Jurjani, an obscure Ismaili author. The ode consists of a series of some 90 questions (...) on a wide range of subjects, from logic and metaphysics to medicine, cosmology, and physics, as well as esoteric Ismaili doctrine. Nasir-i Khusraw's text takes the form of a commentary on certain astutely selected lines. Twin Wisdoms Reconciled represents yet another example of the author's lifelong endeavour to transform Persian philosophical prose into a deft and nuanced instrument of expression. The work has not been as extensively studied as Nasir-i Khusraw's other major theological and philosophical treatises, all written in his final exile in Badakhshan, in part perhaps because of its textual difficulties. Twin Wisdoms Reconciled survives in a single manuscript of dubious accuracy in the Aya Sofya collection, Suleymaniyye Library, Istanbul. The present translation is based on the critical edition of the text produced by Henry Corbin and Mohammed Mo'in in 1953, but with frequent reference to the unique original manuscript. Twin Wisdoms Reconciled represents an endeavour to reconcile two apparently opposed forms of knowledge: the knowledge accorded by revelation and exegesis and the knowledge gained by reason. Seeing that "the bazaar of wisdom" stands empty because of the mutual incomprehension of traditional theologians and Aristotelian philosophers, Nasir-i Khusraw stepped boldly forward to reinvigorate that desolate marketplace. His final work, written in 1070, is thus a testimony as well as an exposition of his mature thought. (shrink)
