Dear Readers,
You are holding the 70th issue of Political Thought, that covers political and social topics. A valuable jubilee for a periodical in the Macedonian space, whose content has been visible worldwide via the internet for 23 years.
In this commemorative issue, you’ll find a range of compelling content. President Dr. Gjorge Ivanov offers an insightful reflection on the period and the state of Macedonian society at the time when the idea for Political Thought was born. His narrative is complemented by the perspective of Andreas Klein, both a German and a Macedonian by connection, offering a unique dual viewpoint.
Professors Naumovski and Spasenovski—alumni of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation's scholarship network and long-standing collaborators—reflect on the role of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, often referred to as the “silent partner of democracy,” in preserving Adenauer’s legacy in the Balkans. Marko Troshanovski, through his depiction of the longstanding and fruitful cooperation between IDSCS and KAS, presents a comprehensive overview of the Foundation’s activities both within the country and the broader region. Minister Andonovski, writing from an academic standpoint, addresses the constitutional and legal aspects of the Dayton Agreement and the Foundation's role in shaping and supporting the democratic political development of Balkan societies.
We wish you a pleasant reading!
