This article is a comparative analysis of two revolutions in Czechoslovakia in 1968 and 1989. The main question of this article is: Why did the revolution in 1968 fail, but the revolution in 1989 succeed? In this article the main reasons, common features and differences of those two revolutions were analysed and defined. The main conclusion of this article is the fact that a necessary condition for the victory of popular resistance is the support of these manifestations by the military or their non-interference. The 1968 revolution was suppressed as a result of the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops under the leadership of the Soviet Union, but the events of 1989 were marked by a decision by the country’s military leadership on their neutrality.
本文是对1968年和1989年捷克斯洛伐克两次革命的比较分析。本文的主要问题是:为什么1968年的革命失败了,而1989年的革命成功了?本文分析和界定了这两次革命的主要原因、共同特点和差异。本文的主要结论是这样一个事实,即人民抵抗胜利的一个必要条件是军队对这些表现的支持或不干涉。1968年的革命由于苏联领导下的华约军队入侵而被镇压,但1989年的事件标志着该国军事领导层决定保持中立。

The Nigerian state since political independence in 1960 has been basking in the euphoria of ethnic politics and electoral violence. Each ethnic nationality in Nigeria has its own culture, interest, aspiration, language and faith and these factors seems to affect the socio-economic and political fate of each group, make identification with the nation a problematic task and exacerbate the difficulty in attaining credible elections a true democracy in the society. Against this backdrop, this study examined the relationship and the effect of ethnic politics on electoral violence in the south-south geopolitical zone of Nigeria. A cross sectional research designed was adopted and data was collected via a survey of six hundred (600) respondents. Data collected were analysed using simple percentages, correlation, and linear regression analysis with the aid of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 23. The results of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between ethnic politics and electoral violence in the south-south geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The study also showed that ethnic politics exerts a positive and statistically significant impact on electoral violence in the south-south geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study concludes that ethnic politics has significant influence on electoral violence in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends, among other things, that Nigerian political leaders should place Nigerian citizens at the centre of their political project without recourse to ethnic chauvinism and the acquisition of political power as a means for serving the collective interest of the citizens irrespective of their ethnic origin. This will go a long way to reduce electoral violence in Nigeria, especially in the south-south geopolitical zone.
自1960年政治独立以来,尼日利亚一直沉浸在种族政治和选举暴力的喜悦中。尼日利亚的每个民族都有自己的文化、兴趣、愿望、语言和信仰,这些因素似乎影响到每个群体的社会经济和政治命运,使对国家的认同成为一项有问题的任务,并加剧了在社会中实现可信选举和真正民主的困难。在此背景下,本研究考察了尼日利亚南南地缘政治区种族政治对选举暴力的关系和影响。采用了横断面研究设计,并通过对600名受访者的调查收集了数据。收集的数据分析使用简单的百分比,相关性和线性回归分析与社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)版本23的帮助。研究结果表明,在尼日利亚南南地缘政治区,种族政治与选举暴力之间存在显著的关系。研究还表明,种族政治对尼日利亚南南地缘政治区域的选举暴力产生了积极的、统计上显著的影响。基于这些发现,本研究得出结论,种族政治对尼日利亚的选举暴力有重大影响。因此,研究报告建议,除其他外,尼日利亚政治领导人应将尼日利亚公民置于其政治计划的中心,而不诉诸种族沙文主义和获取政治权力,以此作为为公民的集体利益服务的手段,不论其族裔出身如何。这将大大有助于减少尼日利亚的选举暴力,特别是在南南地缘政治地区。

Nigeria is a plural state with diverse culture, ethnic and religious institutions. These portray the beauty of the country to the outside world and successive Nigerian governments have not ceased to preach the nation’s desire to forge unity in diversity. However, the reality on the ground is that ethnic chauvinism, ethnic politics, ethnic consciousness, ethnic factionalization, religious fanaticism and extremism have overshadowed the desire for unity, which is a basic ingredient for national development. These are manifested in political and constitutional instabilities, ethnic and religious violence, bad leadership and governance, political competition for power, insecurity of lives and property, corruption, tribalism and nepotism, injustice, immoral acts, bloodshed, and intolerance. The challenges of national development in Nigeria assume such an awful proportion that seems to defy any kind of antidote; this is the stage at which the concept of secularism becomes most apt. This study therefore explored the effect of secularism on national development in Nigeria’s fourth republic. A descriptive method was adopted and data was collected via a survey of 900 respondents comprises of Christian leaders, Muslim leaders, Traditional leaders, leaders of Civil Society groups and Youth leaders. Data collected were analysed using Pearson product moment correlation and linear regression analysis. The result of the study revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between secularism and national development. The result also showed that secularism does have a significant effect on national development in Nigeria’s fourth republic. Requisite recommendations and conclusion were provided in the light of theoretical and empirical findings.
尼日利亚是一个多元化的国家,拥有多种文化、种族和宗教机构。这些向外界描绘了这个国家的美丽,历届尼日利亚政府都没有停止宣扬这个国家在多样性中建立团结的愿望。然而,当地的现实情况是,民族沙文主义、民族政治、民族意识、民族派系化、宗教狂热和极端主义掩盖了团结的愿望,而团结是国家发展的基本要素。这些问题表现在政治和宪法不稳定、种族和宗教暴力、领导和治理不善、权力政治竞争、生命和财产不安全、腐败、部落主义和裙带关系、不公正、不道德行为、流血和不容忍。在尼日利亚,国家发展的挑战所占的比例如此之大,似乎任何一种解药都无法解决;这是世俗主义概念最适合的阶段。因此,本研究探讨了尼日利亚第四共和国的世俗主义对国家发展的影响。采用描述性方法,通过对900名受访者的调查收集数据,受访者包括基督教领袖、穆斯林领袖、传统领袖、民间社会团体领袖和青年领袖。收集的数据采用Pearson积矩相关和线性回归分析进行分析。研究结果表明,世俗主义与国家发展之间存在显著的正相关关系。结果还表明,世俗主义确实对尼日利亚第四共和国的国家发展产生了重大影响。根据理论和实证研究结果提出了必要的建议和结论。

Global experience shows that sustainable economic development takes place in countries with economies focused on the creation and intensive use of knowledge. Entrepreneurs are interested in investing in knowledge, using obtained findings in the company’s development. Investment knowledge strengthens company’s market position, thus increasing the probability of successful implementation of its new products and services. Based on the general idea of tailor-made mix of content, structure, and functioning mechanism of market relations, it can be stated that knowledge is necessary for market participants in order to reach broader market share, take business advantage from innovations, increase competitiveness and uptake new markets, as well as ensure higher satisfaction regarding both goods and services for their customers. Investing in large-scale research projects enables opportunity to accumulate knowledge is a power for large corporations, which further determines their dominance in the global market. However, knowledge in terms of disruptive services is still more important among owners and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The expansion of knowledge in the medium and especially in the small business environment promoted the emergence of a specific business niche known as the knowledge intensive business. The knowledge-based economy is gradually “displacing” the resource-based economy, stimulating entrepreneurs to put more focus on the use of information resources as a feature of the knowledge-intensive economy, thus pacing overall growth dynamics of segment. This article focuses on the identification and analysis of factors affecting the knowledge intensive business development business sector in Latvian national economy with random effects regression model. Random effects regression was used since it best suited for panel data. Compiled available repeated observations on the same units allowing to enrich the model by inserting an additional term in the regression, capturing individual-specific, time-invariant factors affecting the dependent variable.
全球经验表明,可持续经济发展发生在以创造和密集利用知识为经济重点的国家。企业家感兴趣的是投资知识,将获得的发现用于公司的发展。投资知识加强了公司的市场地位,从而增加了公司新产品和新服务成功实施的概率。根据市场关系的内容、结构和运作机制的定制组合的一般思想,可以这样说,为了获得更大的市场份额,从创新中获得商业优势,提高竞争力和进入新市场,以及确保客户对商品和服务的更高满意度,市场参与者需要知识。对大型研究项目的投资使积累知识的机会成为大公司的一种力量,这进一步决定了它们在全球市场上的主导地位。然而,对于中小型企业(SMEs)的所有者和管理者来说,颠覆性服务方面的知识仍然更为重要。知识在中小企业尤其是小企业环境中的扩张促进了一个特定的商业利基的出现,即知识密集型企业。知识经济正在逐渐“取代”资源型经济,促使企业家更加注重信息资源的利用,这是知识密集型经济的一个特征,从而调整了行业的整体增长动态。本文主要利用随机效应回归模型对拉脱维亚国民经济中知识密集型企业发展的影响因素进行识别和分析。使用随机效应回归,因为它最适合面板数据。通过在回归中插入额外的项,对同一单元上的可用重复观测进行编译,从而丰富模型,捕获影响因变量的个体特定时不变因素。

Latvian-Brazilian Economic Relations 1918–1940 拉脱维亚-巴西经济关系1918-1940
Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.22364/hssl.29.2.02

This article provides an overview of Latvian-Brazilian economic relations in the interwar period. In the interwar period, economic relations between Latvia and Brazil were mainly confined to foreign trade. Latvia declared its independence in 1918, however Latvians had been emigrating to Brazil from 1890 and establishing farming colonies. By the end of the 1930s some 8000 Latvians had settled in Brazil. Latvia’s foreign trade in relation to Brazil was regulated by the 1932 Commercial Agreement. Latvia’s main imports from Brazil in the interwar period were coffee, cocoa, hides and furs, tobacco, raw rubber, and cotton, whilst Latvia’s main exports to Brazil were fish conserves, paper, and rubber goods. In general, trade and thus economic relations were of marginal significance to both countries in the interwar period due partly to some similarities in their economic structures, but mainly because of geographical distance.
本文概述了两次世界大战期间拉脱维亚与巴西的经济关系。在两次世界大战之间,拉脱维亚和巴西之间的经济关系主要局限于对外贸易。拉脱维亚于1918年宣布独立,然而拉脱维亚人从1890年开始移民到巴西,并建立了农业殖民地。到20世纪30年代末,大约有8000名拉脱维亚人在巴西定居。拉脱维亚与巴西的对外贸易受到1932年《商业协定》的管制。在两次世界大战期间,拉脱维亚从巴西的主要进口是咖啡、可可、皮革和毛皮、烟草、生橡胶和棉花,而拉脱维亚对巴西的主要出口是鱼类、纸张和橡胶制品。总的来说,在两次世界大战之间的时期,贸易和经济关系对两国来说意义不大,部分原因是两国的经济结构有些相似,但主要是因为地理距离。

The Strategic Importance of Entrepreneurship as a mechanism for Sustainable Economic Growth in Nigeria 企业家精神作为尼日利亚可持续经济增长机制的战略重要性
Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.22364/hssl.29.2.06

The focus of this paper is on the importance of entrepreneurship as a mechanism for sustainable economic growth in Nigeria considering the experiences of developed nations like the United States, Europe, India, and China. Entrepreneurship has been instrumental in economic growth, balanced regional development, and job creation in most dynamic economies, where technology is changing at a faster rate and the product lifetime cycle is shrinking. Research in entrepreneurship development indicates that there is a lack of a theoretical model to examine rural entrepreneurship development particularly in the developing countries. The methodology adopted in this paper is the narrative – textual case study (NTCS); it is a social science research method that relies on the information and data from several sources for problem-solving. It is undeniable fact that entrepreneurship development plays a vital role in economic development of any nation including the developing countries like Nigeria. However, despite this, most entrepreneurial policies and programs seems to favour the urban cities except recently when efforts are geared towards the rural areas. Thus, this paper examines the role of entrepreneurship in the development of the rural areas in the developing economy. The study reveals that the right business environment for entrepreneurship is lacking in Nigeria on account of bad and inadequate infrastructural facilities, political instability, terrorism, multiple taxes, all stand as barriers to entrepreneurship and economic growth. The paper concludes that government should focus on adequate security, improve infrastructural facilities and enabling environment that will lead to economic growth.
考虑到美国、欧洲、印度和中国等发达国家的经验,本文的重点是企业家精神作为尼日利亚可持续经济增长机制的重要性。在大多数充满活力的经济体中,创业精神在经济增长、区域平衡发展和创造就业方面发挥了重要作用。在这些经济体中,技术变化速度更快,产品生命周期正在缩短。关于创业发展的研究表明,缺乏一个理论模型来检验农村创业发展,特别是在发展中国家。本文采用的研究方法是叙事文本个案研究(NTCS);它是一种社会科学研究方法,依靠来自多个来源的信息和数据来解决问题。不可否认的事实是,企业家精神的发展对任何国家的经济发展都起着至关重要的作用,包括尼日利亚这样的发展中国家。然而,尽管如此,大多数创业政策和项目似乎都有利于城市,除了最近的努力面向农村地区。因此,本文考察了创业在经济发展中农村地区发展中的作用。研究显示,尼日利亚缺乏适合创业的商业环境,原因是基础设施糟糕和不足、政治不稳定、恐怖主义、多重税收,这些都是创业和经济增长的障碍。本文的结论是,政府应该把重点放在足够的安全,改善基础设施和有利的环境,这将导致经济增长。

After regaining independence, the borders were opened for Latvian residents, and they had the possibility to leave behind the travel or non-travel principles of the Soviet Union period, as well as go into the global tourism market. Post-Soviet transformation that was seen in different sectors, including the change in tourism and travel habits, which happened slowly. Since every decade of these three post-Soviet decades has its own development characteristics and is impacted by different external environment elements, the aim of this study is to analyse the tendencies of each decade and its most impactful external environment factors in Latvia. Even though the impact of the economic environment has always been meaningful in tourism, the main factor that impacted the first post-Soviet decade was without doubt the political environment. With the start of the 21st century and the improvement of the economic situation, world’s technological achievements enter Latvia’s tourism industry. Different sociocultural factors highlight different outbound tourism tendencies in each decade. Travel habits of Latvian residents have changed over time – values and expectations have changed for travelling abroad. As expectations and knowledge increase, Latvian travellers join the tendencies and travel habits of the collective European travellers.
重新获得独立后,边界对拉脱维亚居民开放,他们有可能摆脱苏联时期的旅行或非旅行原则,进入全球旅游市场。苏联解体后不同领域的转变,包括旅游业和旅游习惯的改变,都是缓慢发生的。由于后苏联时代的三个十年中,每一个十年都有自己的发展特点,并受到不同外部环境因素的影响,因此本研究的目的是分析拉脱维亚每一个十年的趋势及其最具影响的外部环境因素。尽管经济环境对旅游业的影响一直是有意义的,但影响苏联解体后第一个十年的主要因素无疑是政治环境。进入21世纪以来,随着经济形势的改善,世界科技成果进入拉脱维亚旅游业。不同的社会文化因素使得每个十年的出境游趋势有所不同。随着时间的推移,拉脱维亚居民的旅游习惯发生了变化,他们对出国旅游的价值观和期望也发生了变化。随着期望和知识的增加,拉脱维亚旅行者加入了集体欧洲旅行者的趋势和旅行习惯。

On 12 March 1934, the Estonian government carried out a coup d’état and justified it by the danger allegedly posed by the radical right movement, the Estonian War of Independence Veterans’ League. This article examines the reports of diplomats residing in Estonia from six countries and concludes that the foreign diplomats were convinced that the real reason for the coup was the government’s fear of losing power to the Veterans as a result of the forthcoming elections. Nevertheless, the coup and the subsequent establishment of an undemocratic regime did not damage Estonia’s international position.
1934年3月12日,爱沙尼亚政府发动了一次政变,理由是激进的右翼运动,即爱沙尼亚独立战争退伍军人联盟所造成的危险。本文检视了六个国家驻爱沙尼亚外交官的报告,结论是这些外交官确信政变的真正原因是政府害怕在即将到来的选举中失去权力给老兵党。然而,政变和随后建立的非民主政权并没有损害爱沙尼亚的国际地位。
