The European Union’s Regionalism Diplomacy in Africa: An English School Approach. Bruges Regional Integration & Global Governance Papers [BRIGG] #2.2015
Get PDFThis paper proposes an innovative analytical approach to regionalism promotion by the European Union (EU) in Africa. The approach pursues the dual aim of accommodating African approaches to regionalism in EU foreign policy analysis and of expounding the centrality of diplomacy in negotiating a renewed EU-African Union relationship. The concept of ‘regionalism diplomacy’ brings the negotiated and contentious nature of EU regionalism promotion to the fore. The paper espouses contemporary English School thinking about ‘international society’ and argues that EU regionalism promotion cannot just remain the expansion of European regional international society onto Africa. Instead, EU regionalism diplomacy should acknowledge and incorporate the anticolonial pan-African roots of African regionalism. Overall, the EU should seek a more diplomacy-focused, negotiated Africa-Europe interregional relationship. The paper concludes with an outline of a pan-African approach to regionalism diplomacy and avenues for future research
Conditionality in context - scenarios for EU relations with the Eurasian Economic Union. College of Europe Policy Brief #11.16, June 2016
Get PDFExecutive Summary
> The establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union
(EAEU) in January 2015 congealed EU-Russia
relations in terms of geopolitics and trade policy.
> To date, the EU has not formally recognised the
EAEU. This recognition is conditioned on Russia
implementing the Minsk agreements regarding the
war in Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea.
> Out of three potential scenarios, relations
between the EU and the EAEU might eventually be
established through trade talks. European
Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries should be
part and parcel of this policy.
> With Ukrainian membership ruled out, the EAEU
today looks to countries and regions instead of the
EU. The EU’s conditionality risks losing its grip
Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine und Afrika: Warum die Afrikanische Union zwar ambitioniert, aber gespalten ist
Get PDFDie gespaltene Stimme Afrikas hinsichtlich Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine hat überrascht. Diese Analyse beleuchtet die Rolle der Afrikanischen Union (AU). Sie hebt zwei Hauptquellen der Spaltung innerhalb dieser Kontinentalorganisation hervor: Unterschiede in konkreten Positionen zu internationalen Fragen und die Delegation von Befugnissen an die AU-Kommission. Afrikas "aktive Blockfreiheit" im Verlauf von Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine, historisch informiert durch die politische Prägung Afrikas im Kalten Krieg, führte zu einem Versuch der Äquidistanz zu Russland und dem Westen. Diese komplexe Politik hat Auswirkungen auf die Diplomatie der AU während des Krieges und beeinflusst auch die Diplomatie der Ukraine im Globalen Süden

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
