Ireland, the changing role of the National Economic & Social Council - Rory O...EUROsociAL II
The document discusses the changing role of the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) in Ireland over time. It describes how NESC originally advised the government but took on a greater role in facilitating social partnership agreements from 1987 to 2008 that supported economic and social progress. However, challenges emerged such as fiscal issues being glossed over, and the 2008 crisis led to unilateral government action and the end of national partnerships. The document examines dimensions along which social and economic councils can differ and challenges facing such councils in the current context of "new governance" approaches and austerity.

2. ИСТОРИЈА
Први писани траг о Сурдулици
оставио је путописац Бенедикт
Курипешић 1530. године.
У средњем веку Сурдулица је
била у саставу српске
средњовековне државе којом
су владали Немањићи.
Цесар Угљеша држао је
Сурдулицу од 1402. до 1423.
године.
У средњовековној Србији у
време турске владавине
Сурдулица је рударско село,
пошто су у близини били
рудници гвожђа.
3. Сурдулица је кроз своју историју
израсла у леп, модеран град са око
13.000 становника и око 5.000
запослених у општини.
Град Сурдулица се налази у
источном делу Масуричке
котлине, с обе стране реке Врле
(дуга 27 km), десне притоке Јужне
Мораве.
Град је на месту где Врла излази
из Варденичке клисуре и потом
тече кроз Масуричку котлину.
Ту Врла прима с леве стране
притоку, Романовску реку.
Сурдулица је подигнута с обе
стране ове две реке и на плавини,
што јој даје живописан изглед, а
реке омогућавају модеран
урбанистички развој.
4. У насељу Сурдулица живи 8476 пунолетних
становника, а просечна старост становништва
износи 37,2 година (36,4 код мушкараца и 37,9
код жена).
У насељу има 3239 домаћинстава, а просечан
број чланова по домаћинству је 3,36.
Ово насеље је углавном
насељено Србима (према попису из 2002.
године), а у последња три пописа, примећен је
пад у броју становника.
5. Обичаји
Ђурђевдан се сматра за
границу између зиме и
лета, празник везан за
здравље укућана, удају и
женидбу младих из куће,
плодност стоке и добре
усеве.
За мало који празник код
Срба је везано толико
обичаја и веровања, па и
магијских радњи.
Главни обичаји су:
-плетење венаца од биља
-умивање са биљем
-купање на реци
6. Културни манифестација “ВЛАСИНСКО ЛЕТО“-
такмичење трубача југоисточне Србије на којем
учествује око 40 оркестра.
То је заправо предтакмичење трубача за Гучу.
Манифестација почиње друге недеље у јулу
месецу и траје 4 дана.
Почиње духовном и традиционалном музиком
у порти градске цркве, док на позорници у
центру града, поред трубача, програм
обогаћују фолклорни ансамбли из многих
градова, уметници и познате естрадне звезде
различитих жанрова.
Манифестација се упоредо одржава у
Сурдулици и на Власини.
