“…False patriotism and nationalism led to crimes against humanity understood as various acts: "murder, extermination, enslavement, torture, forcible transfers of populations, imprisonment, rape, persecution, enforced disappearance , committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population". 23 Especially in the digital, misinformation-based era, nationalist trends have growing potential thanks to new weapons of mass destruction. The international environment classified the incitement of genocide, murder, or hate crime among crimes, but many of the terrorism act exists only because of hateful propaganda.…”

This paper examines the subject of patriotism and nationalism - the two concepts that are apparently similar but in fact, there are essential and irreconcilable differences between them. The paper traces problems arising from the false understanding the terms patriotism and nationalism. The aim of the paper was to answer the question if right-wing views may result in the harmful social attitudes that are close to nationalism and fascism. The first purpose of the paper was to define what patriotism, nationalism and fascism meant in the past and how they are understood nowadays. The second purpose was to reveal and expose how the right-wing patriotism has become one of the most severe security threats and how the false patriotism and nationalist trends may lead to abuse of law, excess of jurisdiction or even crimes against humanity. The article proves that nationalism-related ignorance and blindness have contributed to the deaths of billions of people around the world. Thus, the paper presents a scientifically and politically current and important issue, basing on the review of contemporary scientific literature.

“…A small but growing literature on the role of ambiguities, ambivalence, absences, undecidables and uncertainties in various contexts has examined variants of ignorance (Smithson, 1993). In accounting, Pianezzi and Ashraf (2022) recognise accounting's absence as key in relation to ignorance (see also Catas us, 2008) and draw from the sociology of ignorance to show how ignorance can be exploited. Baudot and Cooper (2022) draw on appreciation of modes of discursive ignorance (Rayner, 2012;McGoey, 2019) in theorising responses by different regulators to pressures to prescribe accountings.…”

PurposeThe authors explore the under-researched area of post-decision evaluation in PPPs (public–private partnerships), focusing upon how and whether Post-decision Project Evaluation (PdPE) is considered and provided for in United Kingdom (UK) public infrastructure projects.Design/methodology/approachThe authors’ research design sought insights from overviewing UK PPP planning and more focused exploration of PPP operational practice. The authors combine the extensive analysis of planning documents for operational UK PPP projects with interviews of different stakeholders in PPP projects in one city. Mobilising an open critical perspective, documents were analysed using ethnographic content analysis (ECA) and interviews were analysed using thematic analysis consistent therewith. The authors theorise the absence and ambiguities of PdPE drawing on the sociology of ignorance.FindingsThe authors find a long-standing absence and lack of PdPE in PPP projects throughout planning and operational practice, reflecting a dynamic, multi-faceted ignorance. Concerning planning practice, the authors’ documentary analysis evidences a trend in PdPE from its absence in the early years (which may indicate some natural or genuine ignorance) to different levels or forms of weak inclusion later. Regarding this inclusion, the authors find strategic ignorance played a substantive role, involving “deliberate engineering” by both public sector and private partners. Interview findings indicate lack of clarity over PdPE and its under-development in PPP practice, deficiencies again suggestive of natural and strategic ignorance.Originality/valueThe authors draw from the sociology of ignorance vis-à-vis accounting's absence and ambiguity in the context of PPP, contributing to an under-researched area.

“…Because of the lack of an accountability system in place, this reception system not only provided a fertile breeding ground for corruption (Pianezzi & Ashraf, 2020) but also failed in addressing the humanitarian crisis lying behind. One of the main problems was the standardization of the quota per capita, which failed to consider the different needs of migrants, thus confirming "the limitations of accounting in restoring a sense of justice and balance" (Oakes & Young, 2010).…”

This research adds to sparse accounting literature on immigration by problematizing the intertwined relationship between accounting and ethics in the neoliberal era. It explains ethical paradoxes inherent in the neoliberal project and how these unfold in the accounting practices deployed by the Italian state to handle the ongoing refugee crisis. Our analysis shows how the State's proclaimed conviction to the human right cause turned out to be neoliberal in nature. On the one hand, the use of accounting was indeed partially dictated by the State's mission of constructing the neoliberal citizen. On the other hand, accounting practices mainly prioritized efficiency over care and reflected the unwillingness of the State to enact responsibility for immigrants' human rights. We conclude that the use of accounting epitomizes complementary rather than opposing forms of neoliberalism and ultimately unveils the inability of the State to offer a humanitarian response to the immigration crisis.
