     summary: In addition, utilizing novel digital technologies, the actor questions contemporary party systems and, by claiming to override the mediation of political parties in favour of a direct form of online participation, it brings back old concerns about democracy and the critical role of political parties (Ostrogorski, 1964; Berger, 2017). The stated goal is to achieve a direct democracy where people rule without intermediaries such as politicians and political parties, an objective that is accordingly achievable through means of information and communication technology.

     summary: The Mediterranean as ‘bridge’ to other spatial categories With respect to the cultural resonance of the Mediterranean for North African participants, it seems to act as a vehicle to maintain an attachment to their native culture while simultaneously facilitating the opening up of the self towards other identity spaces, such as the country of residence and Europe, among others (see Figure 2). This essay stops-short in developing an account of the degree to which non-European migrants understand themselves as ‘becoming Europeans’ as they settle in the different EU cities under study.

     summary: Still, when taking two decades of wage convergence into account (expressed in nominal EUR terms for each CEE country as a percent of the EU15 average), the overall catch-up of wages was substantial, as in 1998, wage levels at this measure ranged from 6.4 percent (Bulgaria) to 47.5 percent (Slovenia), whereas in 2019, the range was between 21.6 percent (Bulgaria) and 64.1 percent (Slovenia). Development of relative wage levels to EU15 From the 2004 ‘Big Bang’ EU enlargement up to the 2009 crisis, it has been taken for granted that wage convergence for poorer new member states to the high-income core of the EU is only a matter of time.

     summary: Russian media did not suggest that Canada was a threat to Russian elections, which contrasts with the dominant narrative of a Russian threat by Canadian media, yet nonetheless, articles about Canada in general, and the Canadian reaction to the Russian elections in particular, were negative in tone even while being sporadic in distribution. Russian authorities, capitalizing on the Western interference narrative in Russian media, made accusations against the Canadian media coverage of Russian elections.

     summary: However, the EU’s conditionality rules were not clearly defined due to the remote prospects of EU membership for Ukraine (Dimitrova and Dragneva 2013) and Ukraine’s inability to meet the three criteria used in the assessments, such as 1) stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights, and respect for and protection of minorities; 2) market economy; and 3) administrative and institutional capacity to effectively implement EU acquis, and ability to take on the obligations of membership (Commission, Accession Criteria). The higher the potential for EU membership, the more likely that candidate countries will implement political and economic reforms that meet EU requirements.

     summary: Analysts argue that an explicit No First Use policy is rare among nuclear weapon states (although China has maintained a No First Use pledge since 1964). In recent times, nuclear deterrence systems include the entangling of conventional capabilities – such as conventional warheads on missile platforms – that play a role in offensive deterrence-by-denial strategies targeting the rival state’s nuclear assets.

Behind the endless and overlapping state of exceptions, there is also a rise in the unlimited executive power (Antal 2019, 35-41); contemporary authoritarian populist regimes can be equipped with extraordinary government measures, which means managing the crisis that they created.

     summary: The scholarship on humanitarian aid (the majority of which has been conducted on traditional donors such as the US) has found the ongoing importance of need as a driver for humanitarian aid decisions but also pointed out other motives, including countries’ self-interest for explaining their aid allocations (Boussalis and Caryn Peiffer 2011; Kevlihan, DeRouen, and Biglasier 2014). Moscow's use of humanitarian aid for geopolitical benefits has not been a critical disruptor in the humanitarian system by itself; however, jointly with other instruments of foreign policy, Russia's approaches to foreign assistance can be detrimental to the future of the international humanitarian system.

     summary: Narratives of Unwanted Pregnancy, Impossible Motherhood, and Children Born of War Rape in Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina1 Agatha Schwartz, University of Ottawa Christabelle Sethna, University of Ottawa Danielle Lyn Carron, Carleton University Abstract This article examines the intergenerational impact of sexual violence in conflict zones by drawing from two published literary narratives—the German wartime diary by Anonymous, A Woman in Berlin, and the novel based on women’s testimonies of war rape and unwanted pregnancies in Bosnia by Slavenka Drakulić, S.: A Novel About the Balkans—in addition to published testimonies and unpublished interview data by children born of war rape (CBOWR) in Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The authors examine the far-reaching personal and social consequences of sexual violence against women in conflict zones, with an emphasis on unwanted pregnancy, abortion, and children born of war rape (CBOWR).

      flesch: 45
     summary: For example, the most commonly used Russian deterrence equivalent, sderzhivaniye, plays an important role in Russia’s strategic thinking, where it is a much broader term than the Western concept of deterrence. In this aspect, after Russia’s 2022 aggression against Ukraine, the Russian political and military elite has shown full rejection of the idea that Russia would accept NATO deterrence in any format in the future (Medvedev 2022; Putin 2022; The Washington Post 2022).

     summary: In 2016, however, the result of the Brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump raised the prospect of a transatlantic drift and triggered a plethora of new proposals to spur EU defence, rekindling hopes that the EU would be able to claim a larger role and take steps, such as the creation of military headquarters (Biscop 2016; Tocci 2017). Lastly, it sketches out potential future scenarios for the relationship between the two organizations, concluding that EU members need to take stock of the current situation to further advance integration in security and defence.

The authors present a continuum of different discourses, ranging from liberal and oriented to the understanding of biopolitics as a norm of effective management to disciplinary discourses and the perception of measures and restrictions as attempts at control.

The four, along with Zdeněk Bakala, owner of Economia, comprised a triad of domestic media proprietors, completely replacing foreign media owners.

     summary: Consequently, many studies implicitly adopt a universalist logic that portrays Russian narratives as relatively stable constructs, such as those emphasizing “great power” status, sovereignty, or external threats (Dajani et al. 2021; Götz and Staun 2022; Maksimmon and O’Loughlin 2017). A dominant trend in the literature has been to frame Russian narratives through the lens of state- centred propaganda, disinformation, or the distortion of reality.

Two types of mimetic isomorphism—modelling CSR activities after best international practices and path-dependent Soviet-type experiences—are crucial to explaining CSR institutionalization in Russia.

From 2018 to 2023, the Consultative Meeting of Central Asian Heads of State became pivotal in reshaping regionalism in Central Asia by fostering dialogue on economic integration, security cooperation, cultural exchange, and collaboration with international organizations (Umirzakova and 6 Pomfret (2009, 54) argues that regionalization is not worth going through with in this region due to the similarity of the economies, as all CARs are specialized in a similar group of primary goods.

     summary: Bridging Theory and Practice: Digital Silk Road, Soft Power, and Public Diplomacy The BRI was first announced through two separate proposals by Xi Jinping: in September 2013, during a visit to Kazakhstan, he proposed the creation of a “new Silk Road” linking China and Central Asia (China Daily 2013a), and in October of the same year, during a visit to Indonesia, he introduced the idea of a “Maritime Silk Road” connecting China and Southeast Asia (China Daily 2013b). A few months later, during the China-EU Digital Cooperation Forum, the first official reference to the “Digital Silk Road” was made, a challenge that was reiterated during the 15th Forum on Internet Media in China, where Chinese companies and media operating online were urged to assist in expanding international trade and digital banking services along the Belt and Road (China Daily 2015).

     summary: Tom Casier calls this idea “no great Russia without greater Russia” (Casier 2023), while Götz and Staun (2022, 491) point to the Russian leadership view that a few great powers “are entitled to have their own spheres of influence, whereas the sovereignty of smaller states in negotiable.” 139 Canadian Journal of European and Russian Studies, 17 (1)2024: 139-145 ISSN 2562-8429 Misreading Russia or Misreading Putin?

     summary: The article “Misreading Russia” by Leigh Sarty, a seasoned foreign policy expert, provides an interpretive analysis of the authoritarian path that Russia has taken under Vladimir Putin that led to Russia’s current war against Ukraine and what he views as the failure of some Western countries to anticipate it. In honour of the fiftieth anniversary of the Institute of European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (EURUS) at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, the Canadian Journal of European and Russian Studies is producing a special journal issue featuring research articles authored or co- authored by present and past faculty members and research associates of the Institute.

     summary: Moreover, the ability of national parliaments to influence EU sanctions policy cannot be taken for granted. Across the Atlantic, the academic literature pays little attention to how the US Congress affects US sanctions policy.

        date: 2025
       words: 12397
      flesch: 41
     summary: The article contributes to the literature on European disintegration and differentiated integration by addressing the causal impact of Brexit as a driver of flexible institutional designs to meet the diverging demands of EU member states. This outcome aligns with the conventional understanding of EU integration, corresponding to the “more integration/less differentiation” scenario outlined in Table 1, where deeper cooperation prevails over fragmentation.

     summary: In doing so, declassified communications between US President Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin were reviewed following a discussion of American and Russian foreign policy towards the Iraq crisis. As will be discussed later, another key but problematic aspect of this doctrine was non-intervention, which highlighted Russia’s opposition to US military campaigns in the Middle East.

     summary: The contribution “External Forces in Central Asia: Shaping the Regional Balance” by Mubinzhon Abduvaliev, Ricardo Bustillo, and Crina Viju-Miljusevic explores the influence of external powers on regional cooperation in Central Asia. In contrast to the arguments presented by Abduvaliev, Bustillo and Viju-Miljusevic, Karabayeva asserts that regional cooperation in Central Asia exists as a result of China’s indirect, recipient-driven influence.
