Afghanistan: Why Has Violence Replaced Political Power?
2012
The hypothesis from which Chap. 4 stems, and which I will try to confirm through this article, is that in Afghanistan it has been the international factors (albeit interacting with internal dynamics) which have had a particular hand in intensifying the conflicts and the process of State decomposition. On top of the underlying and undeniable structural weakness and external vulnerability of the Afghan State (a matter addressed in sects 4.1 and 4.2), the international interventions from the Afghan-Soviet war to the 2001 invasion, the lack of interest shown by the international community in consolidating peace in Afghanistan during the 1990s, and especially the numerous errors made by the inte…
Analysis of Pakistan’s policy towards Afghan refugees: a legal perspective
2021
Pakistan hosts to the world's largest single population of Afghan refugees. However, despite Pakistan's long-standing acknowledgment of Afghan refugees, their legal status remains unclear. This is due to Pakistan's refusal to sign either the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees or the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (also known as the Geneva Convention). This paper investigates whether Pakistan's approach against Afghan refugees is in accordance with international law and human rights principles. Moreover, this paper seeks to provide a comprehensive response to the above question by highlighting the many difficulties that Afghan refugees have encount…

2017
Poland since the beginning of the twenty-first century, and was involved in several military operations of great significance in the political and military for the whole world.

How to take part in military interventions, military operations and fulfill its alliance commitments approached Polish society?

Uwarunkowania doktryny obronnej Niemiec i Polski na przykładzie polskiego i niemieckiego kontyngentu wojskowego w wojnie w Afganistanie
2018
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie różnic w podejściu do zagadnienia misji wojskowych przez polskie i niemieckie władze, co pozwoliło na zaobserwowanie znaczących różnic w prowadzeniu polityki zagranicznej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem bezpieczeństwa, przez oba państwa. W artykule szczególna uwaga poświęcona została zagadnieniu realizacji zobowiązań sojuszniczych wobec NATO i Stanów Zjednoczonych w obliczu konfliktu w Afganistanie.
The crustacean fauna of Bayan Onjuul area (Tôv Province, Mongolia) (Crustacea: Branchiopoda, Copepoda, Ostracoda)
2015
Due to the wide extension of the country and to the shortness of the ice-free season, the inlandwater crustacean fauna of Mongolia is, to date, incompletely known. However, based on the available literature, Mongolian inland waters appear to be characterised by a high biodiversity, including some taxa still waiting to be described. Novel data on the branchiopod, copepod, and ostracod crustaceans from central Mongolian steppe, from the “Tuul” and “Umard goviin guveet-Khalhiin” hydrographical basins, are presented herein. While large branchiopods, some anomopod families, and copepods are well-represented in the collected samples, ostracods are rare, and the anomopod family Chydoridae is appar…
Small agency and precarious residency in Afghan refugee families
2020
This chapter examines agency and ways of enduring suffering in Afghan families in a small Finnish town. Three stories, where the mothers and children have lived in Finland for some years already, but the fathers have arrived during the 2015 large-scale migration, are presented and analysed. Ethnographic methods are used in enquiring how family members endure suffering when they are faced with the threat of deportation of a family member. Our results show that fathers’ precarious residency has an impact on family members’ agency. First, the informants were enduring alone, and thus the social element, being able to share one’s struggles of enduring, was missing. Second, it was not only one ty…
Nonākot pretrunās: afgāņu patvēruma meklētāju izpratne un spēja tikt galā ar potenciāli traumatiskām pieredzēm Lesbas salā, Grieķijā
2022
Izmantojot medicīnas antropoloģijas pieeju un iedvesmojoties no Klainmana (Kleinman), es pētu skaidrojošos modeļus, kurus izmanto patvēruma meklētāji no Afganistānas Mavrovouni nometnē Lesbas salā. Balstoties tiešsaistē veiktās padziļinātās intervijās, kā arī līdzdalīgajā novērojumā, ko veicu, piecus mēnešus uzturoties Mitilēnā, es izklāstu pētījuma dalībnieku izpratni par labbūtību (wellbeing) un ciešanām, to iemesliem, piešķirtajām nozīmēm un reakcijām uz ciešanām. Kā ciešanu avoti var tik nosaukti gan personiskas īpašības, piemēram, spēks, gan ārēji faktori, piemēram, piespiedu nekustīgums. Atbildē uz tiem iespiējamams ciešanu cēlioni vai nu pieņemt, vai cīnīties pret to. Šo izpratņu stā…
