- This introductory essay sets up the discussion in this special section on the first English language translation of Friedrich Ratzel's 1901 Lebensraum essay. After providing biographical context for this controversial nineteenth-century German geographer, we offer a brief history of what is perhaps his most famous conceptual contribution: Lebensraum (living space). We end by introducing the five contributions to this special section.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper re-examines the relation between regional integration and trade by using the framework suggested by Yeats [1998] to analyze the effects of European integration. We identify the industries that experienced the largest increases in regional trade orientation during three phases of European integration, and examine the simultaneous changes in revealed comparative advantages. Our main conclusion is that there are signs of trade diversion for the earliest phase of European integration (1962-1973), when intra-regional trade increased in industries with weak comparative advantages, but not for later time periods. The main reason is that regional integration has coincided with reductions in external trade barriers, improving market access also for outsiders. At the same time, integration has promoted economic growth and import demand, which has been beneficial for outside producers. We also argue that the static concept of trade diversion is not well suited for analyzing modern integration, which aims to raise the comparative advantage of regional producers by promoting scale economies and competition. If successful, it will reduce the market shares of outsiders, but it does not constitute trade diversion: more efficient outsiders are not replaced by less efficient insiders.

Kłopot z NGOizacją : Debata na temat społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w Polsce / The Problem with NGO-ization. The Debate on Civil Society in Poland

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Artykuł stanowi przyczynek do debaty na temat czynników warunkujących rozwój społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w Polsce. Zawiera podsumowanie najważniejszych wątków dyskusji dotyczącej kondycji społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, jaka odbyła się w roku 2010, a także analizę strukturalnych uwarunkowań działania trzeciego sektora w Polsce. Bliższe spojrzenie na finansowe mechanizmy, których zadaniem miało być wspieranie rozwoju aktywności obywatelskiej w kraju (system grantów unijnych oraz możliwość wspierania organizacji pożytku publicznego 1% podatku) pokazuje zarówno źródła, jak i efekty głębokiego zróżnicowania sektora pozarządowego. Mechanizmy takie jak wspomniany 1% są korzystne jedynie w przypadku niewielkiej i dość specyficznej grupy organizacji, zaś sprzyjają marginalizacji innych, w konsekwencji osłabiając społeczeństwo obywatelskie rozumiane jako sfera oddolnych, spontanicznych działań na rzecz dobra wspólnego, zamiast stymulować jego rozwój.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When we started talking about the idea of a special issue on teaching and what might be missing in business school education, we were not sure how much resonance we would receive in an academic environment that was obsessed with the metrics of research activities manifested in paper writing and third-party funding applications. Yet, we found that this overemphasis on publishing and funding applications did more than render unacknowledged the importance of teaching as part of academics' service to the public. Making a business case out of education by standardizing knowledge that can be mass-delivered to student-customers devalues students and teachers in equal measure. We found that, in conversations with colleagues, teaching tended to be framed as a space of suffering or a necessary evil of an academic's existence. In such an environment it is difficult to maintain a sense of care for students, who cease being students and become customers demanding 'value for money' service. It is even more difficult to care for the subject one is teaching, as it turns into a standard product that has to be `delivered' in a standardized way. And above all it is easy to lose sight of the political potential of teaching that empowers upcoming generations to participate in shaping the future. We felt that, due to the predominance of metrics and the alignment to the demands of employability, management education was turned into a means of maintaining a status quo instead of enabling students to shape their and all our future. We felt that something essential was missing in teaching regarding content and that reducing education to delivering knowledge was entirely missing the point of teaching. In a world that is marked by increasingly unstable conditions,social and environmental, teaching reductive thinking and abstract principles of control that are based on the assumption that the future is an extrapolation of the past is not only meaningless but also dangerous. And we were not alone in this opinion. We have to admit that we had not expected such a surge of personal, careful and considerate contributions from authors and reviewers engaging in intellectual labour on the question of how to co- or re-create with students an educational home. Since the first round of reviews, however, all of us have been overtaken by the events - and their social repercussions of the last two years: global lock-downs, precarious existences, pending planetary crisis. These events pushed teaching out into the flatness of the virtual space. And now it seems like this special issue contributes not just to something essential but rather vital of academic work.
