Humanitarian Action in a New Security Environment. EU-ISS Occasional Paper 5, April 1998 - West, Katarina
[From the Introduction]. There has been an unprecedented growth of humanitarian action since the end of the Cold War. Its expansion has coincided with the proliferation of humanitarian organisations. Thus, both the quantitative and the qualitative roles of the humanitarian agencies have significantly changed.
This article describes both the form and background of the proliferation. It aims to explain why and how the humanitarian system was able to expand to such an unprecedented level. The first and second parts sketch the changes within the humanitarian sphere (dealing with both actors and action). The third part describes the political background behind current...

How the European Union Interacts with its Member States. IHS Political Science Series: 2003, No. 93 - Börzel, Tanja A.
The paper seeks to identify concepts and theories to analyze and explain the relationship between the Member States and the European Union. It mainly adopts a top-down perspective looking at how the European Union has affected the Member States and to what extent it has changed their domestic institutions, policies and political processes. What is the effect of the European Union on the Member States? The paper reviews the existing literature, which offers different insights on each of the three questions. While by now most students of the European Union agree that its effect on the Member States is differential,...

The War against Terrorism and the Transformation of the World Order. ESF Working Paper No. 5, January 2002 - Heisbourg, Francois; Arbatov, Alexi G.; Gompert, David G.
The horror of the unprecedented terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center in New York and against the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, changed the agenda of international security in many respects. It was therefore essential for the European Security Forum to address the consequences this change was having on European security in the first meeting after the events. At the time of this meeting, the military campaign against terrorism was still in its early stages in Afghanistan, with uncertainty over the duration and effectiveness of air attacks. The discussion focused on three main aspects: 1) implications for Europes alliance...

The EuroMed Partnership: The Stepchild of the Neighborhood
or the It-Kid on the block? Post-Cold War Mediterranean Regional Security and the EuroMed Partnership. EUMA Papers, Vol. 4 No. 7 March 2007 - Boening, Astrid B.
[Introduction] In this paper I seek to explore a region of the world, the Mediterranean, which has through the millennia been significant as a passageway for peoples and their trade and cultures. S. Victor Papacosma (2004, 15/6) writes, particularly concerning the Eastern Mediterranean, that
despite their proximity, the diversity of the indigenous groups contributed little to harmony and much more to clashes among them [and this region was characterized by] fragmented distributions of power and security systems that posed obstacles for this major avenue of economic and naval traffic.
Today, progress has certainly been made but much obviously needs to...

The Politics of Galileo. European Policy Papers #7 - Lembke, Johan
[Summary]. The EU institutions, supported by a number of private sector and public actors, are promoting a EU capability in satellite navigation, referred to in Europe as the EU Galileo project. It represents one of the major public-private enterprises ever undertaken in Western Europe, in particular at the EU level.
Europe had no collective presence in satellite navigation in the early 1990s. The perceived threat of import competition and of being outpaced by overseas competitors (US industry), and the associated political and economic costs of not supporting a European contribution to satellite navigation, led to infant-industry intervention. The European Commission...

Serbien - zwei Jahre nach Milosevics Sturz = Serbia - two years after the fall of Milosevic. ZEI Discussion Paper: 2002, C 114 - Eiff, Hansjörg
[From Introduction.] Am 5. Oktober 2000 erklärte Slobodan Milosevic in der Folge von Wahlen seinen Rücktritt vom Amt des Präsidenten der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien. Einem Volksaufstand gleichkommende Demonstrationen, gegen die die Sicherheitskräfte nicht einschritten und damit zu Milsovic erstmals auf Distanz gingen, hatten ihm keine andere Wahl gelassen, als sich den demokratischen Regeln zu fügen. An die Stelle Milosevics und der ihn unterstützenden Parteien traten neue Kräfte, die sich in der Demokratischen Opposition Serbiens (DOS) zusammengeschlossen hatten. Deren beide herausragende Führer waren Vojislav Kostunica, nunmehr neu gewählter Präsident Jugoslawiens, und Zoran Djindjic, der serbischer Ministerpräsident wurde. Die serbische Regierung wurde nach...
