The European Union s Evolving External Engagement Towards New Sectoral Diplomacies?

The European Union s Evolving External Engagement Towards New Sectoral Diplomacies?

In recent decades the external action of the European Union (EU) has been undergoing considerable change. An expansion of the EU’s external policy portfolio can be observed in many areas as previous policies for internal purposes – such as competition energy the environment justice and home affairs or monetary governance but also gender science culture or higher education – have developed external dimensions. This book addresses the EU’s potential to become a more joined-up global actor in its external engagement. It uses a single and innovative analytical framework to examine three clusters of policies: EU internal sectoral and cross-cutting policies with long-standing external engagement those which have been undergoing considerable change and originally internal policies whose external dimensions are comparatively more recent. It identifies key explanatory factors for the emergence of (certain forms of) EU external engagement and identifies patterns of the evolving relations between EU internal and external sectoral policies. As such the book examines and assesses exciting new empirical and theoretical research avenues into European integration studies and offers insights into the extent to which the EU may be considered a more joined-up global actor developing sectoral diplomacies. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students as well as practitioners in the fields of European Union politics European Union foreign policy European Politics diplomacy studies and more broadly law and international relations. | The European Union�s Evolving External Engagement Towards New Sectoral Diplomacies?

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness

Explanatory Optimism about the Hard Problem of Consciousness argues that despite the worries of explanatory pessimists consciousness can be fully explained in “easy” scientific terms. The widespread intuition that consciousness poses a hard problem is plausibly based on how consciousness appears to us in first-person access. The book offers a debunking argument to undercut the justificatory link between the first-person appearances and our hard problem intuitions. The key step in the debunking argument involves the development and defense of an empirical model of first-person access: Automated Compression Theory (ACT). ACT holds that first-person access to consciousness is accomplished by automated accessing of compressed sensory information. Because of the distorting nature of this compressed access it seems to subjects that consciousness possesses “exceptional” properties—properties leading to the hard problem—even though no such properties are present. If there are no exceptional properties to explain then an explanation in easy terms can fully account for conscious experience. The book presents a range of empirical evidence for ACT and concludes that the burden of proof is now on the pessimists to show why we shouldn’t be optimistic about explaining consciousness.

European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya

European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya

European External Action provides a critical assessment of the practice of EU diplomacy in a key site of Africa-European relations and the global development industry - the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. It analyses how the EU positions itself through its newly established diplomatic corps the European External Action Service (EEAS) and how it is perceived as a collective geopolitical actor by its external cooperation partners. Going beyond existing studies on EU policy making in Brussels and African-European relations more generally this book explores in a novel way the conduct of external relations and perceptions of the EU - abroad. Based on institutional ethnography within the EU Delegation in Nairobi and research affiliation with the University of Nairobi as well as interviews with leading individuals of Kenyan-European interaction it analyses the practices processes and perceptions through which EU diplomacy is enacted and realised in a strategic node of global North-South relations. In light of the EU’s claim as a key partner for developing countries and its ambition to be a major player in global politics European External Action thereby speaks not only to wider debates on the EU’s role as a global and development actor but also provides new insights in the internal dynamics and the making of external agency in and through EU diplomacy. | European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya

Negotiating Resilience with Hard and Soft City

Negotiating Resilience with Hard and Soft City

This book explores how cities are shaped by the lived experiences of inhabitants and examines the ways they develop strategies to cope with daily and unexpected challenges. It argues that migration livelihood and public health challenges result from inadequacies in the hard city—urban assets such as land infrastructure and housing and asserts that these challenges and escalating vulnerabilities are best negotiated using the soft city—social capital and community networks. In so doing the authors criticise a singular knowledge system and argue for a granular nuanced understanding of cities—of the interrelations between people in places everyday urbanisms social relationships cultural practices and histories. The volume presents perspectives from the Global South and the Global North and engages with city-specific cases from Africa India and Europe for a deeper understanding of resilience. Part of the Urban Futures series it will be of great interest to students and researchers of urban studies urban planning urban management architecture urban sociology urban design ecology conservation and urban sustainability. It will also be useful for urbanists architects urban sociologists city and town planners policy makers and those interested in a deeper understanding of the contemporary and future city. | Negotiating Resilience with Hard and Soft City

Ukraine Russia and the West When Value Promotion Met Hard Power

Ukraine Russia and the West When Value Promotion Met Hard Power

Why did Russia’s all-out war against Ukraine come as such a surprise to the West? This is a key question considered by this reflective and wide-ranging book. The book argues that Russia and the West were playing different games: while Russia under Putin had become obsessed with using hard power to restore the Cold War security architecture in Europe the major Western powers had become equally obsessed with value promotion that would ensure a global triumph for the values of the West touted as “universal values. ” The Russian play for spheres of interest was clearly defined and demarcated the Western play for values was by definition without limits. Hence there could be no common ground no constructive communication and no common understanding. While Russia convinced itself that it would be successful in forcing the West to accept its claims for a new security order based on hard power Western governments deluded themselves into believing that value promotion would transform Russia into a liberal democracy and a rules-based market economy. Examining the full situation exploring political military economic and business spheres the book provides a deep analysis of how the present confrontation has come about. | Ukraine Russia and the West When Value Promotion Met Hard Power

Military Strategy of Small States Responding to External Shocks of the 21st Century

Military Strategy of Small States Responding to External Shocks of the 21st Century

The book explores how small states adjust their military strategies in response to external shocks. Using primary sources from four Nordic countries (Denmark Finland Norway and Sweden) this volume explores how small states have adjusted their military strategies in response to external shocks of the 21st century. The 9/11 terrorist attacks the Russian interventions in Georgia and Ukraine and the rise of the Islamic State have all forced the Nordic states to adopt new strategies. While the responses have not been uniform their differing relations to the EU and NATO have not prevented these countries from behaving similarly in military affairs. Limitations in military capacity has led all four countries to pursue strategies that include cooperation with more resourceful partners. It is necessary for them to cooperate with others to protect and promote their national interests. Moreover the Nordic cosmopolitan outlook expresses milieu-shaping ambitions that we generally would not expect small states to pursue against a potential great power aggressor. This book will be of much interest to students of military strategy defense studies security studies and international relations. | Military Strategy of Small States Responding to External Shocks of the 21st Century

US Hard Power in the Arab World Resistance the Syrian Uprising and the War on Terror

US Hard Power in the Arab World Resistance the Syrian Uprising and the War on Terror

Neither stability nor change in the post-colonial Arab world can be fully understood without considering the international context and American Foreign policy in particular. However the exact nature of America’s presence in the Arab world and the scope and modes of its influence all appear to have reached a crossroads since the Arab uprisings. ‘US Hard Power in the Arab World’ traces the US’s power of persuasion in the Arab Middle East from the onset of the War on Terror in 2001 through to the Arab Spring. With a particular focus on Syria the book explores the limits of an American smart power amid the emergence of a growing indigenous soft power whose ire is directed not only at Assad’s regime but also at the violence perpetrated or enabled by the international community headed by the US. It is argued that the blurring of the two forms of soft and hard American power has tarnished the credibility of US policies geared to win hearts and minds in the Arab world. ‘US Hard Power in the Arab World’ narrates the contests between attraction and intimidation public diplomacy and military occupation elites and publics seduction and resistance. Drawing upon a multitude of primary sources including personal interviews with Syrian activists and opposition figures this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Middle East Politics as well as those concerned with American Foreign Policy and the Arab Spring. | US Hard Power in the Arab World Resistance the Syrian Uprising and the War on Terror
