Leadership and Partnerships for the European Green Deal: EU Relations with (Re)Emerging Economies
No full textThe European Green Deal (EGD) has been described as a transformation strategy for the European continent, but its success also depends on cooperation at global level. Therefore, the EU intends to engage other actors and show international leadership on the climate agenda and the energy transition. This paper analyses the external dimension of the EGD, with a focus on global partnerships and EU leadership. Specifically, it examines EU relations with (re)emerging economies, in particular China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa. Based on information acquired through cooperation with local research institutions, the paper examines prospects for partnership between the EU and these countries in the implementation of the EGD goals. We argue that great potential exists for green cooperation between the EU and re(emerging) economies. However, diplomatic conflict may occur if the EU attempts to shift the costs of the energy transition on partner countries
EU-Turkey Relations
Get PDFThis open access book explores the new complexities and ambiguities that epitomize EU-Turkey relations. With a strong focus on the developments in the last decade, the book provides full access to a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted relationship through three entry points: (1) Theories and Concepts, (2) Institutions, and (3) Policies. Part I brings together complementary and competing analytical approaches to study the evolution of EU-Turkey relations, ranging from traditional integration theories to novel concepts. Part II investigates the institutional machinery of EU-Turkey relations by analyzing the roles and perspectives of the European Council, the European Commission, and the European Parliament. Part III offers analyses of the policies most relevant for the relationship: enlargement policy, trade and macroeconomic policies, foreign and security policy, migration and asylum policies, and energy policy. In Part IV, the volume closes with a systematic survey of the conditions under which cooperative trends in EU-Turkey relations could be (re)invigorated. The systematic setup and the balanced combination of distinguished experts from EU- and Turkey-based institutions make this book a fundamental reading for students, researchers, lecturers, and practitioners of EU-Turkey relations, European integration and Turkish foreign policy

Unpacking the New Complexities of EU–Turkey Relations: Merging Theories, Institutions, and Policies
No full textThis chapter presents the rationale, objectives, and structure of this volume and introduces the reader to the new complexities that epitomize EU-Turkey relations. To this end, it provides a set of guiding questions for the volume, offers a systematic overview of the major milestones in the EU-Turkey relationship, and classifies the key determinants of these developments under three categories: multilateral frameworks and external crises, internal EU and Turkish domestic developments, and EU-Turkey bilateral processes. The chapter then introduces the three-dimensional approach of the volume that brings together the analytical lenses of (1) theories and concepts, (2) institutions, and (3) policies based on a comprehensive survey of both key primary sources and academic literature dealing with the relationship. In a final step, the chapter presents the ensuing fifteen contributions to the volume. © The Author(s) 2021
Current Trends and Future Prospects for EU–Turkey Relations: Conditions for a Cooperative Relationship
No full textThis chapter summarizes the key insights derived from a three-dimensional perspective on EU-Turkey relations that combines the analytical lenses of (1) theories and concepts, (2) institutions, and (3) policies. It furthermore reflects upon the different periodizations of the EU-Turkey relationship. On this basis, we offer a systematic survey of the conditions under which cooperative trends in EU-Turkey relations could be (re)invigorated. The analysis shows that despite the high potential for reciprocity inside and outside the accession framework, the relationship currently rests on unfavorable conditions for cooperation on both sides. Important enablers of cooperative behavior-trust, communication, reputation, fairness, enforcement, and common identity-cannot properly operate in the current setup. The chapter puts forward possible means to allow for these enablers to facilitate cooperative behavior in EU-Turkey relations in the future. It concludes by discussing the future trajectory of the relationship and pinpointing avenues for a future research agenda for EU-Turkey studies. © The Author(s) 2021
Constructivist approaches to EU-Turkey relations
No full textThis chapter provides a critical survey of constructivist approaches to EU–Turkey relations, which place significance on the role of norms, identities, discourse, ideas, and values in the relationship. It outlines the main contours of the constructivist school of thought in International Relations (IR) with a discussion of how the different variants of constructivism can be applied to the study of the case of EU–Turkey relations. It is followed by an illustrative survey of the academic contributions in the field of EU–Turkey relations that base their accounts on constructivist theoretical premises in three periods: 1997–1999, 2000–2010, and 2011–2020. The chapter concludes with a discussion of potential areas for further constructivist research on EU–Turkey relations

"Na mesma margem”: a representação das sexualidades múltiplas em Caio Fernando Abreu e Joca Reiners Terron
Get PDFA presente tese objetiva analisar as obras de Caio Fernando Abreu e Joca Reiners Terron em que diversas sexualidades são representadas. Partindo dessa premissa, foram selecionados os contos de Caio Fernando Abreu intitulados “Meio silêncio”, “Madrugada”, “Aqueles dois”, “Terça-feira gorda”, “Sargento Garcia”, “Dama da noite”, “Uma praiazinha de areia bem clara, ali, na beira da sanga”, “Uma história confusa”, “Angie” e “As quatro irmãs (uma antropologia fake)”. Essa seleção se justifica pela possibilidade de se investigar a forma como personagens que não se enquadram na heteronormatividade foram construídas em contos do escritor publicados entre as décadas de 1970 e 1990. De Joca Reiners Terron, foi escolhida uma obra contemporânea para compor a pesquisa, a saber, o romance Do fundo do poço se vê a lua, publicado em 2010, a partir do qual se pretende destacar a permanência do viés da intolerância no âmbito literário. Neste estudo, a temática mencionada é explorada por intermédio da aplicação da teoria queer a uma comparação entre as produções de Caio Fernando Abreu e Joca Reiners Terron, enfatizando-se a forma como existências consideradas desviantes são apresentadas através do emprego de recursos literários nos textos em questão. Os trabalhos de Michel Foucault (2018), Judith Butler (2016), Guacira Lopes Louro (2018a), Berenice Bento (2006), dentre outros, embasam a discussão das sexualidades múltiplas e do modo como a sociedade as percebe. Uma vez retomada a história da literatura que aborda tais questões, também as estruturas de poder que corroboram a manutenção de um centro, constituído por homens cisgêneros, brancos, heterossexuais e de classe social mais elevada, são examinadas. Ademais, busca-se ainda avaliar, por meio de uma revisão de temáticas e elementos teóricos nos dois autores da literatura brasileira citados, uma configuração do panorama literário que apresenta obras que retratam identidades plurais, contribuindo para as pesquisas desenvolvidas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Literatura da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande.This doctoral dissertation aims to analyze the works of Caio Fernando Abreu and Joca Reiners Terron in which several sexualities are represented. Based on said assumption, Caio Fernando Abreu's short stories “Meio silêncio”, “Madrugada”, “Aqueles dois”, “Terça-feira gorda”, “Sargento Garcia”, “Dama da noite”, “Uma praiazinha de areia bem clara, ali, na beira da sanga”, “Uma história confusa”, “Angie” and “As quatro irmãs (uma antropologia fake)” were selected for the present study. That choice is justified by the possibility of investigating the manner in which characters that do not fit heteronormativity were developed in texts published by the author from the 1970s to the 1990s. A contemporary work by Joca Reiners Terron was also selected for this research, namely, the novel “Do fundo do poço se vê a lua”, published in 2010. This text serves as a basis for this study to highlight the permanence of the bias of intolerance in the literary field. In this dissertation, the aforementioned theme is investigated through the perspective of Queer Theory applied to a comparison between Caio Fernando Abreu’s and Joca Reiners Terron’s output, emphasizing the way in which lives that are considered deviant are presented via the use of literary devices in the texts that were read. The works of Michel Foucault (2018), Judith Butler (2016), Guacira Lopes Louro (2018a), Berenice Bento (2006), among others, lay the foundations for the discussion of multiple sexualities and how they are perceived by society. Once the history of the literature that addresses said issues is resumed, the power structures that corroborate the maintenance of a center consisting of cisgender, white, heterosexual men who belong to higher social classes are examined as well. In addition, this work also aims to survey – through a review of themes and theoretical elements in the two above-mentioned Brazilian authors’ output – a configuration of the literary panorama including portrayals of plural identities, contributing to the research conducted at the Federal University of Rio Grande's Graduate Program in History of Literature.Esta tesis tiene el objetivo de analizar las obras de Caio Fernando Abreu y Joca
Reiners Terron, en las que hay una diversidad de identidades sexuales
representadas. Basándose en esa premisa, se seleccionaron diez cuentos de Caio
Fernando Abreu intitulados: Meio silêncio, Madrugada, Aqueles dois, Terça-feira
gorda, Sargento Garcia, Dama da noite, Uma praiazinha de areia bem clara, ali, na
beira da sanga, Uma história confusa, Angie y As quatro irmãs (uma antropologia
fake). Esa selección se justifica por la posibilidad de estudiar la construcción de
personajes que no contemplan la heteronormatividad en las obras del escritor, y que
se presentan en sus cuentos publicados entre las décadas de 1970 y 1990. De Joca
Reiners Terron se eligió una obra contemporánea para componer la investigación, la
novela Do fundo do poço se vê a lua, publicada en 2010, a partir de la cual se desea
enfatizar la manutención del sesgo de la intolerancia. En este estudio, el tema
mencionado se explora a través de la teoría Queer y de una comparación entre las
producciones de Caio Fernando Abreu y Joca Reiners Terron, destacando cómo se
presentan las existencias consideradas desviantes por medio de los recursos
literarios de los textos en cuestión. Los estudios de Michel Foucault (2018), Judith
Butler (2016), Guacira Lopes Louro (2018a), Berenice Bento (2006), entre otros,
sirven como aportes teóricos para el análisis de las sexualidades múltiples y la forma
como la sociedad las percibe. A partir de un recorrido por la historia de la literatura
que aborda esos temas, también se investigan las estructuras de poder que
contribuyen al mantenimiento de un centro, compuesto por hombres cisgéneros,
blancos, heterosexuales y de clase social superior. Además, se busca evaluar, por
medio de una revisión de temáticas y elementos teóricos de los dos autores de la
literatura brasileña citados, una configuración del panorama literario que presenta
obras que retratan personajes múltiples, y así contribuir para las investigaciones
desarrolladas en el Programa de Posgrado en Historia de la Literatura de la
Universidade Federal do Rio Grande
