Abstract Due to the complex voting and decision-making mechanisms of the EU, the size-factor has long been present within EU studies as a relevant and significant variable in explaining member states’ activism. Despite the aim of small states to achieve equal representation, there is a huge discrepancy between the power of big and small states within the EU. Therefore, the expected behavior of small states is different from that of the big ones. However, there are also significant differences in foreign policy activism within the group of small EU states and those are analysed in this article. In order to differentiate small states’ activism within EU foreign policy, the article explores the correlation between the scope and number of small states’ leadership initiatives in EU foreign policy and different quantitative criteria used to define these small states (population, total GDP, GDP per capita)
由于欧盟复杂的投票和决策机制,规模因素长期以来一直作为解释成员国行动主义的相关和重要变量存在于欧盟研究中。尽管小国的目标是实现平等代表权,但在欧盟内部,大国和小国的权力之间存在巨大差异。因此,小国的预期行为与大国不同。然而,在欧盟小国集团内部,外交政策行动主义也存在显著差异,本文将对此进行分析。为了区分小国在欧盟外交政策中的行动主义,本文探讨了欧盟外交政策中小国领导倡议的范围和数量与用于定义这些小国的不同量化标准(人口、GDP总量、人均GDP)之间的相关性。

International-local Linkages in Multistakeholder Partnerships Involved in Reconciliation, Inter-communal Bridgebuilding and Confidence-building 涉及和解、社区间桥梁建设和建立信任的多利益攸关方伙伴关系中的国际-地方联系

Abstract This paper focuses on the involvement of the international community (international actors) in post-conflict reconstruction in the context of multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) operating in the issue-area of reconciliation, inter-communal bridge-building and confidence-building. In particular, the paper analyses the international-local linkages within the MSPs, and suggests that although the involvement of the international community in post-conflict reconstruction (peace-building) is heavy and indispensable, it is neither straight-forward nor problem-free. In order to understand these linkages in a specific MSP context, a number of factors need to be taken into account and analysed. The paper suggests that at least three levels of analysis are required in order to understand the role of the international community and the international-local linkages in the context of MSPs addressing reconciliation, confidence-building and inter-community bridge-building in a post-conflict context. Firstly, the very complex nature of the international community itself, with many different actors seeking to achieve their own objectives in a very competitive environment; secondly, the very difficult conditions in war-torn societies that are operationally/institutionally unable to begin any peace-building processes on their own; and thirdly, the characteristics (motivations, organisation) of international and domestic actors themselves
摘要本文重点关注国际社会(国际行为体)在多利益攸关方伙伴关系(MSPs)的背景下参与冲突后重建,这些伙伴关系在和解、社区间桥梁建设和建立信任等问题领域开展工作。特别是,本文分析了msp内部的国际-地方联系,并指出,尽管国际社会在冲突后重建(建设和平)中的参与是沉重和不可或缺的,但它既不是直截了当的,也不是没有问题的。为了了解特定MSP背景下的这些联系,需要考虑和分析一些因素。本文建议,至少需要三个层次的分析,以便了解国际社会的作用以及在冲突后环境中解决和解、建立信任和社区间桥梁的msp背景下的国际-地方联系。第一,国际社会本身非常复杂,许多不同的行动者都在竞争非常激烈的环境中谋求实现自己的目标;第二,饱受战争蹂躏的社会在业务上/体制上无法自行开始任何缔造和平进程的非常困难的条件;第三,国际和国内行动者本身的特点(动机、组织)

L’Europe est aujourd’hui confrontée à une double crise: la crise de confiance interne dans son projet et la crise externe marquée par la déstabilisation simultanée des ses voisinages à l’Est comme au Sud. Répondre à la seconde dépendra de la capacité à surmonter la première. Dix ans après son grand l’élargissement à l’Est, l’Union européenne se trouve dans une situation paradoxale: une demande d’Europe dans sa périphérie orientale, de Kiev à Belgrade, au moment où le doute s’installe au centre même de l’Union. Les élections européennes du 25 mai 2014, marquées par le désenchantement voire la défiance envers l’Union européenne, contrastaient le même jour avec l’élection présidentielle à Kiev présentée et vécue comme un choix européen. L’Europe est décriée comme l’une des causes de la crise économique et identitaire à l’Ouest du continent, et perçue comme une réponse possible à la crise politique, économique et identitaire à l’Est. La crise de la zone euro a fait planer
欧洲现在面临着双重危机:内部对其项目的信心危机和外部危机,其特征是其东部和南部邻国同时不稳定。解决后者将取决于克服前者的能力。在欧盟东扩十年后,欧盟发现自己处于一种矛盾的局面:从基辅到贝尔格莱德,欧洲对其东部边缘的需求,而欧盟的核心却产生了怀疑。2014年5月25日的欧洲选举,标志着对欧盟的幻灭甚至不信任,与基辅总统选举形成了鲜明对比,基辅总统选举被视为欧洲的选择。欧洲被指责为西方经济和身份危机的原因之一,而被视为对东方政治、经济和身份危机的可能回应。欧元区危机引发了一场危机

The Process of Institutionalization of the EU’s CFSP in the Western Balkan Countries during the Ukraine Crisis 乌克兰危机中欧盟在西巴尔干国家的CFSP制度化进程

Abstract This paper analyses the Western Balkan countries’ relationship towards the instrument of the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union in the context of the measures undertaken by Brussels against the Russian Federation due to its involvement in the Ukrainian crisis. In this regard, the author first points out to what extent the countries of the Western Balkans over the past few years, that is, after the signing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, harmonized their foreign policies with the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union. Certainly, the most important foreign policy challenges for the Western Balkan countries in 2014 are imposing sanctions against the Russian Federation. Some Western Balkan countries (above all, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia), according to the author’s assessment, are stretched between their intentions to join the EU and thus harmonize their foreign policy with the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union on one hand, and on the other, to avoid disruption of existing relations with the Russian Federation
摘要本文以欧盟因俄罗斯卷入乌克兰危机而对其采取的措施为背景,分析了西巴尔干国家在欧盟共同外交与安全政策工具下的关系。在这方面,作者首先指出,在过去几年中,即在签署《稳定与结盟协定》之后,西巴尔干各国在多大程度上使其外交政策与欧洲联盟的共同外交和安全政策相协调。当然,2014年西巴尔干国家面临的最重要的外交政策挑战是对俄罗斯联邦实施制裁。根据作者的评估,一些西巴尔干国家(首先是塞尔维亚、波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那和马其顿)一方面想加入欧盟,从而使其外交政策与欧洲联盟的共同外交和安全政策相协调,另一方面又想避免破坏与俄罗斯联邦的现有关系,这使它们进退两难

Project Management in Development Aid Industry – Public vs. Private 发展援助行业的项目管理——公共与私营
IF 1.4 Q3 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2015-02-01 DOI: 10.1515/cirr-2015-0006
D. Simović
Abstract This article examines the relationship between the type of a development aid implementing organisation (public or private) and the quality of project management in development aid. The author begins with main public administration considerations - how public aid administration is different from private and furthermore, how particular sectoral characteristics of organisations influence the quality of the management process. The article combines empirical findings on the differences between the public and private sector with a complex setting of development aid and main success factors in development aid activity, in order to determine whether for-profit or public companies are more likely to achieve better project management processes. The article identifies some indices that favorise private companies, and outlines further necessary steps that should be taken in order to broaden the argumentation and confirm or reject this assertion
摘要本文考察了发展援助实施组织(公共或私人)的类型与发展援助项目管理质量之间的关系。作者从公共管理的主要考虑开始——公共援助管理如何不同于私人援助管理,此外,组织的特定部门特征如何影响管理过程的质量。这篇文章将关于公共部门和私营部门之间差异的实证研究结果与复杂的发展援助环境和发展援助活动中的主要成功因素结合起来,以便确定营利性公司还是上市公司更有可能实现更好的项目管理过程。本文确定了一些有利于私营公司的指数,并概述了应采取的进一步必要步骤,以扩大论证并确认或拒绝这一主张

The Bay of Bengal: Next theatre for strategic power play in Asia 孟加拉湾:亚洲战略力量的下一个舞台
IF 1.4 Q3 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2015-02-01 DOI: 10.1515/cirr-2015-0007

Abstract This paper explores the factors behind the increasing strategic significance of the Bay of Bengal in the current geopolitical context. The study starts by highlighting the factors contributing to the rising importance of the littoral region from a general economic, geopolitical and energy perspective. It then analyses the specific objectives and strategic aspirations of the major powers involved in the Bay, and how those may turn the area into a hub of converging, and/or conflicting interests. The focus is then shifted toward the smaller littoral nations and their individual relations with the major players. Finally, challenges to stability in the region are discussed, and a cooperative approach is suggested for the context of the Bay. The paper argues that the strategic importance of the Bay will considerably increase in the coming years. As the nations involved are major and rising powers, the power play in the area will inevitably reshape the dynamics of the region. The interests that are at stake are also of crucial importance to the countries involved; hence, their protection will also demand a rapid militarization of the littoral. Most of these countries are now redirecting their focus from land to sea, which is adding a whole new dimension to the importance of the Bay. However, this paper argues that cooperation and competition is in all the nations’ best interest, as any conflict in the Bay region could bring in political, economic and energy insecurity affecting all the concerned countries. Another dimension this paper explores is the implication of this competition on smaller nations and their role in the larger schemes of the major powers. In order to lay out an exhaustive and holistic view, historical, economic, military, geopolitical and social factors have been taken into account in this research
本文探讨了孟加拉湾在当前地缘政治背景下日益重要的战略意义背后的因素。该研究首先从总体经济、地缘政治和能源角度强调了导致沿海地区重要性上升的因素。然后分析了参与海湾的主要大国的具体目标和战略愿望,以及这些目标和愿望如何将该地区变成一个利益融合和/或利益冲突的中心。然后,焦点转移到较小的沿海国家及其与主要国家的个别关系上。最后,讨论了该地区稳定面临的挑战,并就海湾地区的情况提出了合作办法。该文件认为,在未来几年,湾区的战略重要性将显著增加。由于所涉及的国家都是正在崛起的大国,该地区的实力角逐将不可避免地重塑该地区的格局。利害攸关的利益对有关国家也至关重要;因此,保护它们也需要沿海地区迅速军事化。这些国家中的大多数现在正将其重点从陆地转向海洋,这使海湾的重要性增加了一个全新的层面。然而,本文认为合作与竞争符合所有国家的最佳利益,因为海湾地区的任何冲突都可能带来影响所有相关国家的政治、经济和能源不安全。本文探讨的另一个方面是这种竞争对小国的影响及其在大国更大计划中的作用。为了给出一个详尽而全面的观点,在本研究中考虑了历史、经济、军事、地缘政治和社会因素

The Ominous Triangle: China-Taiwanthe United States relationship 不祥的三角:中国-台湾-美国关系

Abstract This paper examines the complex issue of the triangular relationship between China, Taiwan and the United States. Due to its importance to both China and the United States, Taiwan has burdened the relationship between the two powers as long and as fierce as any. China considers Taiwan an integral part of its territory and has been unwilling to reject the use of force to settle the Taiwan issue. Under these conditions, Taiwan has chosen to balance China by aligning itself with the United States in order to avoid submission or destruction. Although the U.S. supports a “one-China” policy, it is strongly opposed to any move that could change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait by force. While both Beijing and Washington often emphasize positive engagement and dialogue, divergent interests of China and the United States over Taiwan, along with their contest for domination in East Asia, have remained a focal point of contention that could send the two powers on a collision course
摘要本文探讨了中国、台湾和美国三角关系的复杂问题。由于台湾对中国和美国都很重要,因此它一直是两国关系的负担。中国认为台湾是其领土不可分割的一部分,不愿拒绝使用武力解决台湾问题。在这种情况下,台湾选择与美国结盟来平衡中国,以避免屈服或毁灭。美国虽然支持“一个中国”政策,但强烈反对任何可能以武力改变台海现状的举动。虽然北京和华盛顿都经常强调积极的接触和对话,但中国和美国在台湾问题上的不同利益,以及它们在东亚的统治竞争,仍然是争论的焦点,可能使这两个大国走上冲突的道路

Serbia's Military Neutrality: Origins, effects and challenges 塞尔维亚的军事中立:起源、影响和挑战
IF 1.4 Q3 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2014-10-01 DOI: 10.2478/CIRR-2014-0008
Filip Ejdus
Abstract Serbia is the only state in the Western Balkans that is not seeking NATO membership. In December 2007, Serbia declared military neutrality and in spite of its EU membership aspirations, developed very close relations with Moscow. The objective of this paper is threefold. First, I argue that in order to understand why Serbia declared military neutrality, one has to look both at the discursive terrain and domestic power struggles. The key narrative that was strategically used by mnemonic entrepreneurs, most importantly by the former Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica, to legitimize military neutrality was the trauma of NATO intervention in 1999 and the ensuing secession of Kosovo. In the second part of the paper, I discuss the operational consequences of the military neutrality policy for Serbia's relations with NATO and Russia, as well as for military reform and EU accession. Finally, I spell out the challenges ahead in Serbia's neutrality policy and argue that its decision makers will increasingly be caught between pragmatic foreign policy requirements on the one hand and deeply entrenched traumatic memories on the other.
塞尔维亚是西巴尔干地区唯一不寻求加入北约的国家。2007年12月,塞尔维亚宣布军事中立,尽管它渴望加入欧盟,但与莫斯科发展了非常密切的关系。本文的目的有三个方面。首先,我认为,为了理解为什么塞尔维亚宣布军事中立,人们必须同时关注话语地形和国内权力斗争。在本文的第二部分,我讨论了军事中立政策对塞尔维亚与北约和俄罗斯的关系,以及军事改革和加入欧盟的影响。最后,我阐述了塞尔维亚中立政策面临的挑战,并认为其决策者将越来越多地陷入务实的外交政策要求和根深蒂固的创伤记忆之间。

In December 2007, Serbia declared military neutrality and in spite of its EU membership aspirations, developed very close relations with Moscow. The objective of this paper is threefold. First, I argue that in order to understand why Serbia declared military neutrality, one has to look both at the discursive terrain and domestic power struggles. The key narrative that was strategically used by mnemonic entrepreneurs, most importantly by the former Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica, to legitimize military neutrality was the trauma of NATO intervention in 1999 and the ensuing secession of Kosovo.

Abstract The NATO integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is closely tied to a strong surge in externally led state building following the conflict of the 1990s Informed by the ideals of liberal peace, one of the key components of state building was security sector reform and a restructuring of the armed forces. A shifting approach by the international community, varying between imposing decisions and insisting on local ownership, managed to establish the joint BiH Armed Forces, but allowed for the appropriation of the NATO integration process by local ethnic party elites. As a result, NATO integration in BiH regressed into an exercise in institutional reform, pursued in disarray and primarily addressing technical issues. Even if successfully brought to fruition, NATO integration will have failed to achieve the objectives of fostering substantive peace in BiH.
波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那(波黑)的北约一体化与20世纪90年代冲突后外部主导的国家建设的强劲增长密切相关,在自由和平理想的指导下,国家建设的关键组成部分之一是安全部门改革和武装部队重组。国际社会采取了一种转变的方法,在强加决定和坚持地方所有权之间变化,设法建立了波黑联合武装部队,但允许当地少数民族政党精英挪用北约一体化进程。结果,北约在波黑的一体化倒退为一种体制改革,在混乱中进行,主要是解决技术问题。即使成功实现,北约一体化也未能实现在波黑促进实质性和平的目标。
