The Texas Equal Rights Amendment in the Courts 1972-1977: A Review and Proposed Principles of Interpretation
No full textThis article provides a detailed analysis of the 1972 Texas Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The author sets out to explain the current methodology Texas courts use in determining Texas ERA disputes and then suggests a methodology for courts to utilize in future cases.
The author first provides an in-depth analysis of thirteen Texas ERA appellate court decisions from 1972 to November 1977. The author believes the courts have not provided enough jurisprudential direction in these cases. In the author’s opinion, the court decisions have not clearly defined the judicial interpretation of the Texas ERA and have left unanswered many of the questions regarding the application of the Texas ERA.
The author recognizes that one specific standard of review will not fit the Texas ERA cases. In the final part of the article, the author suggests the courts utilize four principles when deciding future Texas ERA cases. The author provides four hypothetical cases to illustrate his proposed methodology

Russia's European agenda and the Baltic states
No full textRussia has always been a primary factor in the development of the Baltic States. It is
impossible to analyse Baltic security without looking into the processes inside Russia and the prevailing trends vis-a-vis the Baltic States. However, the changes in the Baltic security landscape in the 21st century lack a comprehensive analysis. This
thesis seeks to bridge the gap.
Two key aims are being pursued in this thesis. The first is to present an analysis of Russia's European agenda under President Vladimir Putin and to examine the place of
the Baltic States in this agenda. The second aim is to define Russia-related threats and
challengers to the Baltic States, as well as prospects in Russo-Baltic relations.
To attain these aims, inter-active approach to international relations, comprising three
levels of analysis - the international system, the nation state (domestic level) and the individual (personality) level - has been applied. The neo-realist paradigm of
international relations theory, comparative analysis and the Knudsen model, which
addresses the peculiarities of relations between great powers and small states, are the methodological framework of the thesis.
When analysing the development of Russo-Baltic relations in 1990-2006, this thesis
focuses on the evolution of the Baltic States from factors to actors and their chance of shaping Russo-Baltic relations from within the enlarged EU and NATO. It also
examines possibilities for more active engagement of Russia in the Baltic region.
The thesis concludes with an analysis of perspectives for the Baltic States in
countering Russia-related threats and building cooperativer elations with Russia. The author maintains that 'high politics' in Russo-Baltic relations has ended, yet, the
tensions do remain in 'low politics'. Russia seeks to retain her political and economic
influence in the Baltics by exploiting various tools, primarily economic levers and
Baltic dependence upon Russian energy
