    Devolution: The Scottish Model

    After an absense of almost 300 years, the first elections for the newly established Scottish Parliament took place. The articles of this section present the Scottish question from several points of view. Robert Christian Thomsen's introduction gives a general overview of the major issues of Scottish history and politics, and refers to the questions raised during the elections and the piecing-together of the new Parliament. David McCrone's article examines the problematic issue of defining Scotland; is it a nation, a country, a distinct society, or all three at the same time? Neil MacCormick's article presents the constitutional questions regarding the status of Scotland within the United Kingdom. Ross Bond and Michael Rosie analyse the relation of Scottish national identity and voting preferences in Scotland.

    The Legal Status of Cross-Border Germans in Light of the Hungarian Schengen Problem

    In this article the author examines the legal situation of approximately two-million Germans living east of the German border, the majority of whom have lost their home country, but not their citizenship, over the last stormy century. Does the ethnic principle 'cover' the citizenship principle in their case? In other areas the German state is forced to utilize ethnic discrimination, but this is done in a way which results in the establishment of a citizenship status (through immigration). The author reviews the history of this legal area and introduces the elements of the far-reaching revisions to the German citizenship law in 1999.

    Russian Diaspora Policy in the Post-Soviet Region

    In Russia, the issue of Russians living across the borders has not become a definitive area in foreign policy. The situation of contemporary Europe's largest minority - it has approximately 26 million members as a consequence of the break-up of the Soviet Union - is a peripheral issue in public life in Moscow. The pre-modern character of Russian national awareness is a significant factor in the explanation of negotiations concerning the Russian national question. No Western or Central-European styled national revolutions occurred over Russian history. The author shows that the issue of Russians living in the post-Soviet region is a function of relations between Russia and the other post-Soviet states.

    What's news in the socioligical thinking of the region?

    What has happened to sociology in East-Central Europe since the collapse of communism? The five papers in this issue seek answers to this question. Our research hypotheses center around the notions „legacy - imitation - invention": what has proven viable from scientific knowledge accumulated in the past?; what kind of Western patterns have been borrowed in sociology during the last decade?; and which of the new ideas have been developed from inside? Of course, sociology has changed differently in the individual ex-communist countries of the region. The papers focus, among others, on these differences and on how they can be interpreted. According to our preliminary results, Poland that had a long tradition in sociology could overcome the difficulties of regime change rather easily: the renewal of sociology took place on the basis of already existing knowledge. Sociology in Slovakia, however, seems to recover slowly from a multiple disease. In that country social sciences were not prepared for the political change; following the divorce with the Czech Republic, sociology could not rely on the help of the „older brother" any longer; and under the authoritarian rule by Meciar, the renewal of the discipline was further delayed. The most dramatic is the plight of the Serbian scholars: it is hard to predict whether or not war-time sociology will ever result in a proper sociology of war. Sociology in Romania still faces the same problem as before 1989: it has to clarify its relations to state power and establish the independence of scientific research. Finally, in Hungary it was primarily the role of intellectuals that had to be redefined during the past decade - a traditional problem of the scientific community. Here scientific discourse has also been shaped to a large degree by marketization/globalization of sociological research.
