Both concepts reflect frantic attempts to answer the questions, what is a city and what should a city become in the post-industrial era,&quot; writes <strong>Edwin Bendyk<\/strong>, Head of the Centre for Future Studies at the Warsaw-based Collegium Civitas and a commentator for the Polityka weekly in the opening article of the June issue of<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspeninstitute.cz\/en\/magazine\/june-2013\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> the Aspen Review Central Europe<\/a>. Creative cities are also tackled in an interview with <strong>Benjamin Barber<\/strong>, political philosopher and political scientist, a critic of neoliberalism and civil society promoter, who talks of parliament of mayors: &quot;It would be the first step towards creating a global democratic platform. Such a parliament would not pass new laws but share the best solutions and experiences.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\tTwo more articles offer insights on modern urban development and cultural life: &quot;City Is People&quot; by <strong>Krzysztof Nawratek<\/strong>, city theoretician, lecturer on architecture and the Director of M.A. studies at the Plymouth University, UK and &quot;City and Culture&quot; by <strong>Krzysztof Czy\u017cewski<\/strong>, the Director of the deep culture program, festival Wroclaw &mdash; European Capital of Culture 2016. The topic is also addressed by <strong>Zora Jaurov\u00e1<\/strong>, the President of the Slovak Creative Industry Forum and alumni of the first Aspen Institute Prague Leadership Program.<\/p>\n<p>\tApart from the topic of creative cities the latest issue of Aspen Review deals for example with the Russian nationalism in an interview with <strong>Vladimir Gelman<\/strong>, professor of the European University in St. Petersburg, Fulbright Scholar, member of editorial board of European Political Science, who also lectures at the Helsinki University. <strong>Bogdan G\u00f3ralczyk<\/strong>, former diplomat and currently a scholar at the European Centre of the Warsaw University focuses on the contemporary situation in Hungary in his contribution &quot;Ten Keywords to Orbanistan&quot;. Former Czech Minister of Environment <strong>Martin Burs\u00edk<\/strong> criticizes the Czech energy policy in the article &quot;Nuclear Energy as an Obstacle to Modernisation&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCheck the content of the June issue below.<\/p>\n<p>\tBuy the Aspen Review Central Europe!<br \/>\n\tThe new volume of the Aspen Review is now available.The price is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>\t120 CZK + postage per copy<br \/>\n\t20 PLN + postage per copy<br \/>\n\t10 EUR + postage per copy<\/p>\n<p>\tIf you are interested in buying Aspen Review, please place your order at <strong>review (at) aspenprague.cz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\tThank you &amp; enjoy reading!<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/aspen-media\/images_upload\/files\/Interview%20-%20Benjamin%20Barber.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interview with Benjamin Barber<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aspen Institute Prague proudly presents the June 2013 issue of the Aspen Review Central Europe, introducing the Creative Cities as the cover story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13464,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news-tag":[],"class_list":["post-28226","news-article","type-news-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-article\/28226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news-article"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-tag?post=28226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
