China’s Green Soft Power in Azerbaijan: Environmentalism, Autocracy, and Geopolitical Intersections
Greening the Belt and Road Initiative and the 2030 Agenda: China’s Environmental Diplomacy Discourse in Focus
To address concerns about the Belt and Road Initiative's (BRI's) environmental impact, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has created an environmental governance architecture with the intention of transforming the project into a climate-neutral and nature-positive ‘Green BRI’. Through this architecture and bilateral engagements with BRI states, Beijing has produced a distinct environmental diplomacy discourse revolving around the synergies betw…
Amidst an Ambition-Reality Gap: The UN’s Women, Peace and Security Agenda
Since 2000, the United Nations’ Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda has addressed the causes and consequences of sexual violence towards women in conflict scenarios. After two decades of effort, an ambition-reality gap persists. Uneven commitments from UN member states, ongoing instances of conflict-related sexual violence around the globe and the lack of a critical mass of female participants in peace negotiations, security policy and politic…
The Women, Peace and Security Agenda: Reflections on the Effectiveness and Relevance of UN Security Council Resolution 1325
Germany and the use of force
Mobilising the concept of strategic culture, this study develops a sophisticated and innovative framework to understand developments in German security policy between 1990 and 2003. Germany's contemporary security policies are characterised by a peculiar mix of continuity and change. From abstention in the first Gulf war, to early peacekeeping missions in Bosnia in the early 1990s and a full combat role in Kosovo in 1999, the pace of change in Ge…

Where from, where to? New and old configurations in Poland’s foreign and security policy priorities
The past 20 years have seen profound shifts in Polish foreign and security policy. Like other states in Central Europe Poland became part of the Euro-Atlantic sphere upon gaining first NATO and then EU membership. Despite such broad similarities, Poland’s trajectory since 1989 has been marked by some specific and defining features. Poland has become the most significant player in Central Europe and tends to be viewed in the region as a leader, tw…
Same Challenges, Diverging Responses: Germany, the UK and European Security
This contribution considers British and German relations in the context of European foreign and security policy. Beginning with an appraisal of how the relationship functioned during the Cold War, in the form of the ‘Stille Allianz’, it proceeds by describing how German unification altered the political and geostrategic frameworks of European security. After evaluating the relationship in the late 1990s, a period which saw a certain closeness eme…

Germany and the Use of Force: The Evolution of German Security Policy 1990-2003
In this study of German security policy after Iraq, Kerry Longhurst considers the evolution of Germany's peculiar approach to the use of force after the Cold War through the conceptual prism of strategic culture.
Why aren't the Germans debating the draft? path dependency and the persistence of conscription
In the context of the widespread change that is seeing the winding down of compulsory military service in many former conscript states in Europe, the continuation of the practice in Germany is a peculiarity. As Germany's allies and partners adapt their armed forces to post-Cold War scenarios, creating fully professional ‘allvolunteer forces’, Berlin has sought to sustain a viable system of conscription within the Bundeswehr. Germany has justified…
America's Protégé in the East? The Emergence of Poland as a Regional Leader
Following the events of September 11 Poland has emerged as one of the key allies of the United States—arguably its protégé in east-central Europe. The close affinity of interests on security matters between the two states became even more apparent in Afghanistan and then more recently over Iraq, where Warsaw has proved to be a strong and highly vocal supporter of Washington's stance. The overall context to this is provided by the growing divergen…
