From urban to alpine
Background Urbanization is linked to reduced microbial exposure, increased prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, and diminished psychological resilience. In contrast, traditional alpine farming environments offer high biodiversity and low pollution, potentially promoting restorative health effects. The ALM Study (ALpine Farming and Human Nasal Microbiome Diversity) explored the feasibility and physiological impact of a 7-day immersion in such…
The evolving Moroccan-European community of practice in green energy transition
This research examines the emergence of an EU-Moroccan community of practice (CoP) in the green energy transition, focusing on early large-scale solar plants and the subsequent development of green hydrogen. While shared strategic objectives – framed through the EU-Morocco Green Partnership and the Paris Agreement – have consolidated an evolving CoP, its repertoire remains shaped by colonial practices, including land dispossession, resource extra…
Forum
This forum critically reflects on the democracy support agenda and its future in light of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the decline of Western political and normative dominance, and overall global democratic backsliding. Posing four topical questions to five leading scholars in the field—from Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia—it finds that these wars appear systemic in the sense that they sharpen alr…
Towards Allyship in Diversity? Critical Perspectives on the European Union's Global Role
This special issue (SI) foregrounds critical perspectives in studying the EU's global role, acknowledging their historical marginalisation within scholarship dominated by mainstream approaches. The project is theoretical with significant normative and practical implications, that is, for activism and policy‐making. Our primary goal is to bring critical approaches into conversation, exploring their intersections, complementarities, but also creati…
Organized Hypocrisy and the Logic of Coloniality. Explaining the EU's Divergent Response to Grave Violations of International Law in Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine
Organized hypocrisy’ has been mainly explained in IR by the logic of consequentiality operating against the logic of appropriateness. The literature has largely ignored the role of a third logic, the logic of coloniality, which highlights that organized hypocrisy appears persistently in international relations due to omissions in the field of knowledge: It features a double absence of the ‘other’ on their own normative terms and as a rights‐beari…
Gamblers or Risk-Averse? Competitive Authoritarianism, the Centre–Periphery Cleavage and Nationalist Revisionism in Russia and Turkey
Revisionism is a growing phenomenon, particularly in imperial successor states. Which factors transform dissatisfied powers into nationalist revisionists? Our hypothesis is that this is determined by military capabilities as a necessary variable, the presence of an authoritarian regime as an enabling variable, and the centre-periphery cleavage as a driving factor. Comparing the most different cases of Russia and Turkey, we find that both presiden…
Interventions of post-colonial states in the normative structure of world politics
Within Global IR a constructivist-postcolonial literature is emerging which inquires into how postcolonial states intervene into the normative structure of world politics. This research programme has less covered the question how postcolonial states relate to the international norm of democracy, how and in which ways do they contest this norm, and to which effects? This question is important both to study how the 'postcolonial condition' can be o…
Long-Term Effects of Mountain Hiking vs. Forest Therapy on Physical and Mental Health of Couples
The ANKER-study provides a method for valid comparison of forest therapy interventions for the first time. Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the nature-based intervention presented could offer a multimodal contribution to maintaining a more active lifestyle, further contact with nature that affects peoples physical as well as mental health, and an improvement in social interaction
From democracy to hybrid regime. Democratic backsliding and populism in Hungary and Tunisia
Democratic backsliding has become a global reality which in the past decade has curiously occurred together with populism and the polarization of societies. How do these phenomena interact? Through a comparative study of two iconic cases of democratization and democratic backsliding from different world regions, Hungary and Tunisia, we find that polarization – typically instrumentalized by populists along the socio-cultural axis – harms social tr…
Mountain Hiking vs. Forest Therapy
The ANKER Study investigates the influence of two novel types of nature-based therapy-mountain hiking and forest therapy-on physiological, psychological, and immunological parameters of couples with a sedentary lifestyle. Two intervention groups were formed and spent a seven-day holiday in Algund, Italy. The "forest therapy group" participated in daily guided low-power nature connection activities. The "hiking group", by contrast, joined in a dai…
Sustainability of Hiking in Combination with Coaching in Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Quality of Life
Although strong evidence shows that physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are associated with many negative health outcomes, inactive lifestyles are still increasing. Consequently, new approaches must be developed to increase adherence to an active lifestyle and hence a longer life. Green exercise and health coaching could be effective ways to induce long-lasting lifestyle changes geared towards more physical activity. In this randomized con…
How to Reflexively Decentre EU Foreign Policy
This article develops a timely new model for EU foreign policy by advancing the call for a ‘decentring agenda’, focused on the challenge of inclusive ‘reconstruction’. It does so by first staking out an ontological space at the intersection of empirical multiplexity and normative pluriversality. Within this space, it proposes an ethically informed methodological tool: the contrapuntal negotiation of dissonant perspectives on common governance cha…
Resilience, conflict and areas of limited statehood in Iraq, Lebanon and Syria
In a context of areas of limited statehood and contested order, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria have been affected by similar diffuse global and more specific regional and local risks over the past two decades. Yet they differ in outcomes. Lebanon has not descended into civil war despite fears that the one raging in Syria might spill over to its territory and Iraq has coped better over the past decade than Syria has - despite having been subject to vario…

Feasibility of Ski Mountaineering for Patients Following a Total Knee Arthroplasty
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is socially relevant due to its high prevalence, high incidence and the affected population. A subpopulation of TKA patients exists that strives to be active and also return to sports after total joint replacement. In this context, a further group of TKA patients is interested in high-impact physical activities and want to proceed with such activities even after surgery. Focusing on winter sports, there i…
Winter Exercise Reduces Allergic Airway Inflammation
Background: Physical exercise is often recommended as additional treatment for people suffering from allergic rhinitis and/or asthma, but less is known about the specific effects of recreational winter outdoor exercise on allergic airway inflammation. Methods: We performed a longitudinal, randomized controlled intervention study to investigate the effects of recreational winter exercise on allergic airway inflammation, quality of life, spirometry…
The Role of Anthropogenic Elements in the Environment for Affective States and Cortisol Concentration in Mountain Hiking—A Crossover Trial
Green exercise might have positive effects on health and affective states. Little is known about the ideal characteristics of the natural environment, where exercise is conducted in. Thus, the primary aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of anthropogenic elements on acute stress-related physiological responses and affective states in green exercise. Using a crossover field study design, 52 healthy participants were exposed to t…
The EU and 50 Years of Occupation
This article focuses on the role the EU has played in the normalization of the 50-year long Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territory. Has it resisted the occupation, challenging its normalization, or has it been complicit in it, thus contributing to it? To answer this question, the article proceeds in two steps. Firstly, it describes the ‘occupation’ through an inductive approach that reconstructs its structure through how it is experience…
Arab Spring and Peripheries
The emerging literature on the so-called 'Arab Spring' has largely focused on the evolution of the uprisings in cities and power centres. In order to reach a more diversified and inner understanding of the 'Arab Spring', this edited book examines how peripheries have reacted and contributed to the historical dynamics at work in the Middle East and North Africa. It rejects the idea that the 'Arab Spring' is a unitary process and shows that it cons…
Arab regionalism
Since the so-called Arab uprisings started in late 2010/early 2011, the Arab world is back in the academic and media focus – and so is a persistent reading of it. The “Arab exceptionalism” paradigm
Arab Spring
This article calls for a decentring research agenda and serves as a reminder to look beyond the centres when seeking to understand attempted or accomplished processes of transformation. The Arab Spring is not a unitary whole but part of a variety of processes which differs in terms of space (diverse countries, diverse areas in countries), time (the Ghedim Izik protests in Western Sahara started in October 2010, while protests in the Rif are still…

India's Peacebuilding between Rights and Needs
This paper analyses India's internal peacebuilding approach in Bihar, north-east India and Jammu and Kashmir regarding its similarity with the liberal peace and its effectiveness in terms of conflict transformation. By focusing on the human rights and needs components of Indian peacebuilding, we investigate whether state interventions have managed to transform the local conflict spheres in their political, economic, societal and gender/family dim…
A Pragmatic Actor — The US Response to the Arab Uprisings
After the US had initially assessed the Arab uprisings as an opportunity and displayed a dual role understanding as an anchor of security and modest advocate of democracy, the second role understanding faded the more the US perceived the uprisings as a risk rather than an opportunity. In respect to practice, the US response did not show clear patterns in terms of goals or instruments it pursued, which would correspond to the development of these …

Democracy Assistance in the Middle East and North Africa
This article compares US and EU efforts at democracy assistance in the Middle East and North Africa.Although the substantive content of what the US and the EU view as the type of democratic institutions to promote does not differ greatly, some puzzling variations are found in the area of funding party development and decentralization, a balanced top-down/bottom-up versus a top-down approach and slightly different thematic foci.The actors use simi…

The De‐Threatenization of the Other
As a result of the failure of the Israeli–Palestinian peace process, new initiatives from civil society have emerged. Initiators learned from the shortcomings of the peace process and seek to achieve peace through understanding the suffering of the Other. Such attempts leave an open space for the trauma of the counterpart and engage both sides in deconstructing mutually exclusive identities that represent the Other as an existential threat. They …

Civil Society Against Sanction Busters in Iran
Sanction busting of companies is one of the major hurdles for collective action on the international level today. Yet, in democracies, a new trend is emerging and such sanction busters are increasingly fought in the arena of civil society. Research on sanction busting, however, often neglects the phenomenon that advocacy groups are more and more successful in persuading companies to comply with their own values and identities. Asking the question…
