Abstract

This assessment of governmental approaches to the vital task of adapting to climate change posits this undertaking as a central issue of governance. It  argues a close relation of governance to existing political and administrative practices. The product of a pan-Arctic research initiative called CAVIAR, it examines the technique of ˜responsibilisation', in which the task of realising adaptive strategies is devolved to a range of levels of government, as well as to key individuals and organisations in society. The book provides a detailed analysis of the development of adaptive governance in Russia and Finland. It presents a case study from the Sakha Republic in Russia that focuses on community's participation in the process of governing of the flood events in the Tatta River area. Local adaptive practices are analyzed in relation to federal and regional responses that may mandate, encourage or collide with community's agency. A second case study is centered on the Finnish community of Kuttura, Ivalo. It explores the mounting challenges presented by changing environmental conditions to traditional reindeer herding, as well as the efforts made to cope with these new factors. Combining anthropological research and political science, this penetrating work offers revealing scrutiny of governmental responses to one of the most urgent issues facing both politicians and the citizens who live in their domains.

Abstract

"Vladimir Putin omschreef de val van de Sovjet-Unie als de grootste ramp van de 20e eeuw, loofde Ruslands traditionalisme en beriep zich op historische rechten om de Krim te annexeren. Het ‘oude’ Rusland lijkt daarmee helemaal terug van weggeweest. En inderdaad: geschiedenis speelt een cruciale rol in het gedrag én de perceptie van Rusland. Ze is echter geen objectief gegeven, maar een constructie van ‘belangrijke feiten’ die door interpretaties met elkaar worden verbonden. Deze constructie, de canon van de Russische geschiedenis, wordt bovendien voortdurend aangepast om ideologische redenen. Hierdoor worden hele stukken uit het collectieve geheugen gewist en/of nieuwe denkkaders opgelegd. Het geheugen van Rusland beschrijft hoe en wanneer die canon tot stand kwam, hoe hij evolueerde en het hedendaagse Rusland zijn uitzicht gaf. Hij bevestigt een aantal ‘waarheden’ over Rusland, bijv. dat het autocratisch moet zijn, dat veranderingen er alleen van bovenaf kunnen komen; dat het permanent bedreigd en bedrogen wordt door het Westen. Die canon blijkt ook uiterst selectief: in de obsessie om Rusland als ‘anders’ te zien, worden tal van gelijkenissen met (West-)Europa genegeerd en verschillen buiten proportie opgeblazen"

Abstract

Nataliya Esakova performs an analysis of the interdependencies and the nature of cooperation between energy producing, consuming and transit countries focusing on the gas sector. For the analysis the theoretical framework of the interdependence theory by Robert O. Keohane and Joseph S. Nye and the international regime theory are applied to the recent developments within the gas relationship between the European Union and Russia in the last decade. The objective of the analysis is to determine, whether a fundamental regime change in terms of international regime theory is taking place, and, if so, which regime change explanation model in terms of interdependence theory is likely to apply.

Abstract

De eenentwintigste eeuw wordt die van Azië, maar het wordt een eeuw van geopolitieke hoogspanning. Het ambitieuze China torent zodanig boven zijn buurlanden uit dat het steeds meer argwaan opwekt, vrees voor onevenwichtige partnerschappen en wantrouwen ten aanzien van de snelle militaire modernisering. Nu al slaan kleinere Aziatische regios de handen ineen om zich te verzetten, maar de kans is miniem dat China tegenstand zal dulden. In Onmogelijke vrede, de opvolger van het baanbrekende De kracht van het paradijs, stelt Jonathan Holslag dat de verantwoordelijkheid voor de spanningen niet uitsluitend bij China ligt. Op verhelderende wijze verklaart hij waarom, vele goede intenties ten spijt, Chinas belangrijkste aspiraties onverzoenbaar blijven met die van zijn buren. Dat is de nieuwe tragedie van de Aziatische grootmachtenpolitiek..Bron : http://www.bol.com

Abstract

The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on “Radiation and Envir- mental Safety in North-West Russia — Use of Impact Assessments and Risk Estimation” was held in Moscow, Russia on December 8 - 10, 2004. The workshop was sponsored by the NATO Science Committee and N- wegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA) and organised jointly by Rostechnadzor and NRPA. The objective of this workshop was to examine how scientific research and environmental studies, including the effects and distribution of radiation and radionuclides, can contribute to development of practical standards for protection of the environment and human health. The intention was to s- port operators and regulators involved in radioactive waste management projects in Northwest Russia. The workshop attracted wide participation from relevant Russian and western organizations. International expertise from several related fields went together to produce a thorough understanding of the present status and how to develop the use of overall risk assessments and environmental impact assessments to ensure a sound use of resources when carrying out the tremendous work that must be carried out to clean up the cold war l- acy. Important conclusions and recommendations have been produced and set out in the main report, providing a good basis for further development. Such development should note that safety and environmental performance can be addressed at three levels: a) Compliance-focused; b) Beyond compliance, towards best practice; and c) Continuous improvement.

Abstract

Is dit de toekomst van Europa ? Europa in 2026: President Poetin houdt een militaire parade ter ere van de annexatie van Estland; militair ingrijpen door de NAVO wordt geblokkeerd door Duitsland, waar de SPD een regering vormt met de Groenen en de Communisten na de historische nederlaag van de CDU; de Franse president Marine Le Pen was al uit het samenwerkingsverband gestapt in 2021; nadat Groot-Brittannië zich terugtrok uit de EU, volgden andere eurosceptische regeringen in Europa haar voorbeeld. Europa is niet meer. James Kirchick geeft in Het einde van Europa zijn toekomstvisie voor Europa, aan de hand van de negen grote problemen die op dit moment op het continent spelen, zoals politiek populisme, Russische druk, openlijke confrontatie met de islamitische gemeenschap, anti-Europese krachten. Kirchick geeft aan welke uitdagingen serieuze bedreigingen vormen voor de Europese Droom en wat de rol van Rusland is in het geheel.Bron : http://www.bol.com
