Call for Papers: The Russian War in Ukraine

The Russian War in Ukraine Call for Papers of "De Europa. European and Global Studies Journal" Deadline: 10 May 2023 The Russian War in Ukraine Issue n. 1/2024 De Europa with Guest editors Mara Morini (DISPI – Università di Genova), Lara Piccardo (DISPI – Università di Genova) The Russian invasion of Ukraine took European and world public opinion by surprise. After the conflict in the former Yugoslavia (1991-2001), a new war broke out in Europe, taking on different connotations – economic, values and political – which have in common Russia’s challenge to the global order. The date of 22 February 2022 marks an epochal change in the nature of relations among States, in the return of nationalisms, in the East-West confrontation, in the crisis of the international order and, above all, it underlines how superficial it is to echo the “end of history”. In the light of these dynamics, the editors call for proposals for articles which, through a historical-political analysis of the strategic and geopolitical decisions of the actors involved, can be inserted into the following lines of research: 1) the causes of the conflict with a particular attention to the historical origins of the relationship between Russia and Ukraine; 2) the objectives of the various parties involved between revisionist politics and defense of the status quo; 3) the possible war resolution scenarios. The monographic issue aims to frame the Russian-Ukrainian conflict theoretically and historically within analytical dimensions consolidated in the scientific literature, which allow the study of the phenomenon to be addressed diachronically and in a comparative perspective. The complete papers (5.000-7.000 words, in English or in Italian) will go under double-blind peer review before publication. Information about editorial rules, that must be strictly respected, can be found here: http://www.deeuropa.unito.it/content/Submit_an_article

L'Europa, le Nazioni Unite e il futuro del multilateralismo

L’umanità si trova di fronte ad urgenti sfide globali come il mutamento climatico, le epidemie globali e il problema della guerra e della pace, che oggi vede riproporsi il rischio di un conflitto aperto tra grandi potenze. La crisi in Ucraina conferma che, nel quadro di un ordine internazionale in transizione e di marcate tendenze multipolari, è imperativo che il multilateralismo ed il sistema ONU vengano sostenuti e rivitalizzati affinchè assumano un ruolo centrale nella politica internazionale. L’Unione europea, per la sua natura, la sua storia ed il suo tradizionale impegno a favore del multilateralismo, è chiamata a lavorare per sostenere e rivitalizzare il sistema ONU, rendendolo più legittimo ed efficace. Il seminario muove dalla proposta Renewing Multilateralism in an Age of Great Powers avanzata dall’Università di Torino quale contributo alla Conferenza sul Futuro dell’Europa, e discute dello stato del multilateralismo alla luce della crisi in Ucraina, e del ruolo dell’UE nel sostenerlo e rilanciarlo. 🔔L'evento si svolgerà online sulla piattaforma Webex e in diretta facebook venerdì 18 marzo dalle 16.30 alle 18🔔

Region Europe is deeply saddened by the loss of the President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli

We would like to remember him through the words of Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. "Today is a sad day for Europe. Our Union loses a passionate European, a sincere democrat and a good man. David Sassoli was a man of deep faith and strong convictions. Everyone loved his smile and his kindness, yet he knew how to fight for what he believed in. In 1989, he was in Berlin, among the young Europeans when the Wall came down. And ever since, he has stood on the side of democracy and of a united Europe. In over a decade of service in the European Parliament, he constantly defended our Union and its values. But he also believed that Europe had to strive for more. He wanted Europe to be more united, closer to its people, more faithful to our values. That is his legacy. And that is how I will remember him. As a champion of justice and solidarity, and a dear friend."

Resisting Europe? Re-framing EU-MENA Relations after the 2011 Arab Uprisings

Over 25 years have flown by since the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP) was launched in 1995 as a forward-thinking foreign policy which would strengthen ties between Europe and the Mediterranean Arab states. Since that time, however, translating the initial ambitions into positive, successful policy has proved quite problematic. The Arab uprisings that started in early 2011 confronted the EU with the limitation of its long-standing structural foreign policy towards the Mediterranean region and the Middle East, as well with its limitations when sudden crises and violent conflicts arise. As a consequence, a growing reflection on the relaunch of the strategic partnership between the EU and its Southern Neighbourhood partners is underway both in the academia and the EU circles and Institutions. In this context, in February 2021 the European Commission and the High Representative adopted a joint communication proposing a new Agenda for the Mediterranean. The 4th Region Europe’s EU Next Talks Seminar discusses the successes and failures of more than 25 years of Euro-Mediterranean partnership, its current trends and how to rethink it. To this aim, the Seminar draws on the book Resisting Europe. Practices of Contestation in the Mediterranean Middle East (University of Michigan Press 2020), involving its Editors, Raffaella A. Del Sarto and Simone Tholens, in dialogue with Ambassador Fernando Gentilini, Managing Director for Middle East and North Africa of the European External Actions Service

L'interesse nazionale in una prospettiva europea. Il futuro dell’Europa e il ruolo dell'Italia

L’Unione Europea si trova in un momento cruciale della propria storia. Le crisi multiple che l’hanno colpita – la crisi economica e finanziaria, la crisi dei rifugiati, e la pandemia di Covid19 – hanno messo in luce le attuali debolezze della sua costruzione, provocando profonde divisioni tra i suoi membri e alimentando venti sovranisti e populisti in tutto il continente. Anche grazie agli impulsi della nuova Commissione, l’Unione sembra però aver colto la sfida di perseguire un proprio rilancio, con il varo del Next Generation EU e della Conferenza sul Futuro dell’Europa. L’Italia, tra i paesi maggiormente colpiti da queste crisi, esprime una politica estera tradizionalmente europeista, ma è scossa dalla forte pressione di forze sovraniste. In questo contesto italiano ed europeo, il terzo seminario del ciclo EU Next Talks di Region Europe propone una riflessione su quale sia la relazione tra il futuro dell’Europa e l’interesse nazionale dell’Italia; su quale sia il contributo che il paese, membro fondatore dell’UE, possa e debba portare al rafforzamento interno ed esterno dell’Unione; su quali siano, infine, le aspettative in Europa circa il ruolo europeo dell’Italia e circa il suo contributo ad un’Europa più forte.

L'Unione Europea e la governance del cibo, tra globale e locale

Il cibo è al centro di relazioni di potere e di rivendicazioni di sovranità cruciali per gli equilibri globali e per la vita di miliardi di persone. Al tempo stesso sono rari gli esempi di governance dei sistemi del cibo giusta ed efficace, né esiste una politica del cibo di scala europea. Il secondo seminario della serie EU Next Talks di Region Europe discute il ruolo dell’Europa, la più grande potenza agroalimentare del globo e il più importante mercato commerciale esistente, nel sistema agroalimentare globale; l’impatto dell’UE nei processi locali e globali legati al cibo; la necessità di costruire una vera politica del cibo europea funzionale alla costruzione di un sistema di governance del cibo giusto ed inclusivo dal locale al globale, a beneficio dei cittadini europei e di tutto il mondo. Il seminario prende le mosse dal libro "Cibo sovrano. Le guerre alimentari globali al tempo del virus" del Vice-Direttore della FAO e già Ministro delle Politiche Agricole Alimentari e Forestali Maurizio Martina, che parteciperà all’evento.

Dopo Cotonou. Un nuovo corso per le relazioni tra UE e Africa?

Dopo due anni di difficili negoziati, nel dicembre 2020 l’UE e l’Organizzazione dei paesi di Africa, Caraibi e Pacifico (OACPS) hanno raggiunto un accordo politico su una nuova partnership che sostituisca l’Accordo di Cotonou del 2000, e regoli le loro relazioni per i prossimi 20 anni. L’accordo promette di aiutare l’UE e i 79 paesi partner ad affrontare nuove esigenze e sfide globali quali la pandemia di COVID-19, i cambiamenti climatici, la governance degli oceani, la migrazione, lo sviluppo, la pace e la sicurezza. Il primo seminario della serie EU Next Talks di Region Europe discuterà le priorità dell’UE e dei paesi partner portate ai negoziati, le novità dell’Accordo e il loro impatto sulle relazioni tra UE e Africa, alla luce della parallela discussione di una strategia comprensiva dell’Unione con l’intero continente.

Europe from the Outside and the China-Africa Connection

The lecture will explore China’s expanding economic activities in Africa in the context of the EU’s relations with China and Africa. The EU has developed policy frameworks involving China and Africa. This includes engaging China on African issues through the joint EU-China Strategic Partnership (2003) and engaging Africa on Chinese issues through the Joint Africa-EU Strategy (2007). The lecture will provide critical perspectives on the dynamics of this trilateral engagement.

From Role Model to Economic Partner? The Image of the European Union in Member Nations of the Pacific Alliance

Civil Society Power and Engagement with EU Development Policy

The lecture will explore how European civil society organisations (CSOs) influence EU development cooperation policy.

An Externally Constrained Hybrid Regime: Hungary in the European Union

The lecture will discuss three broad issues: The types of democratic backsliding, the characteristics of hybrid regimes, and particularly, the curious role of the non-democratic Orbán regime in the European Union. First it discusses routes of de-democratization from traditional breakdown of democracy to hollowing out democratic institutions from inside. Secondly, it covers the social and political characteristics odf the emerging grey zone between liberal democracy and full authoritarianism, that we can call by using the umbrella concept, "hybrid regimes". The novelty of hybrid regimes is the "uneven playing field" which means that governing and opposition parties competing within a vastly unequal ground, and the governing party uses illegal means to maintain its power. This is not new globally, in comparative politics, but it is new within the European Union, which is supposedly based upon countries that share the same values of liberal democracy. Viktor Orbán's successful attempt for the destruction of Hungarian democracy therefore has a larger meaning and significance: It can have a major impact on the EU either positive or negative ways. In the final part of the lecture the ambiguous role of the EU is investigated, to measure its constraining, enabling and legitimizing functions vis-a-vis a politically deviant member state.

The Belarus Crisis, Implications for the EU and Its Neighbourhood

Belarus is living through the most dramatic political crisis in its post-Soviet history, which has thrown the country's future into the unknown. While the Belarusian strongman Aliaksandr Lukashenka is facing the biggest challenge to his 26-year long authoritarian rule, he continues to control the government and is not likely to step down under the pressure of the mass protests. Hence, in all likelihood Belarus is set for a long-term political confrontation, which will have serious implications for the EU and regional security in Eastern Europe. In particular, the Belarus crisis puts to the test the EU's diplomatic ability to manage crises in its Eastern neighbourhood and poses numerous questions as to its broader geopolitical relevance.

European Union, Normative Power and Planetary Politics

The lecture will reflect on the past and future of the EU and it’s normative power in planetary politics, where ‘planetary politics’ are characterised by truly planetary relations of causality that can only be understood and addressed holistically. The three decades of European union, 1990-2020 have seen the increasing interdependence of planetary economy, society, ecology, conflict, and politics leading to the realisation of the growing symbiotic relationships between humans and the rest of the planet. Within this context, it is argued that normative power, as empowering actions in concert for the planetary good, provides a means of thinking about a future that addresses the planetary organic crisis rather than simply reacts to growing international competition

Internal, External Norms and China-EU Normative Engagement

Norms for states could be differentiated into an internal-external dichotomy. While internal norms define what is regarded as appropriate behavior of nation states in domestic governance, external norms define that in the international sphere. China and the EU are different international actors. In terms of internal and external norms, their normative power resources, their efforts on norm diffusion, and their normative influence in the international arena, all constitute a big contrast. Their normative divergence is more evident and severe on internal norms, with human rights and sovereignty most remarkable, than on external norms, such as China’s multipolarity versus the EU’s multilateralism. Despite the fact that the normative dimension has been increasingly irritating in China-EU relations, their normative engagement has some positive impacts on the making of China-EU strategic partnership

Sustainable Development: A Paradigm Shift for the Future of Europe and Its International Role

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015, has given a new impetus to global efforts to achieve sustainable development. The EU has been a leader in drafting and implementing the SDGs and has fully committed itself to delivering on the 2030 Agenda. Can sustainable development be a paradigm shift for the EU, its identity and its international role? And can the EU become a global leader in this respect?

Observing the EU from Southeast Asia: Perspectives from ASEAN Countries

The European Union (EU) and the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are two longest operating regional institutions in the word nowadays. The two, however, have had divergent paths of regional integration. ASEAN countries have perceived the EU as inspirations but they have no intention to duplicate the institution design as well as the political, economic and social-cultural arrangements. ASEAN closely watches the EU’s development and dynamics, including-among others- the painful phenomenon of Brexit, the EU economic integration and the promotion of EU normative powers. How ASEAN countries perceive developments and problems in the EU and EU as an international actor? What are their positions on those issues? Because of their internal diversities, ASEAN countries generally have no single perceptions to any issues, including those related to the EU.
