Shrinking space, expanding agency
Beyond introducing the contents of Society & Economy’s thematic issue on non-state actors in contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, this article briefly sketches an outline of discussions about non-state actor (NSA) agency and provides a working definition thereof to be used in the issue. Subsequently, it highlights – and posits a rudimentary explanation for – two para-doxes that are of relevance beyond the geographical region in focus: the par…
Monte Carlo-Based Spatial Optimization of Simulation Plots for Forest Growth Modeling
Accurate placement and geometry of simulation plots are essential for spatially explicit modeling of forest ecosystems. This study introduces a Monte Carlo-based approach for optimizing the spatial alignment of simulation plots with their source polygons, improving their ability to represent stand-level heterogeneity. The method is implemented in GenSimPlot, an open-source Python plugin for QGIS (version 3.30) that automates the generation, place…

Rebel Cooperation with Vaccination Drives in Sub-Saharan Africa
In zones of armed conflict there is an elevated risk of the outbreak of communicable diseases. Vaccination drives are key to disease prevention but may be significantly impeded by fighting, undermining health security on a regional scale – or even beyond that, as the COVID-19 pandemic illustrated. To better understand the relationship between insurgency and gaps in vaccination coverage, this article revisits the “stationary v. roving” distinction…
Operating by caesura
Minding the Gaps
The paper offers a hitherto‐lacking comprehensive appraisal of solidaristic transfers by European Union Member States (EUMS) during the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic. These transfers include bilateral assistance, collective burden‐sharing on the EU level and even external EU aid. The article uses data on inter‐EUMS solidarity actions collected by the European Solidarity Tracker (EST), a widely referenced dataset on pandemic‐related actions …

Dracunculus against the dragon”
This article examines performativity in Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s February 2021 public vaccination against COVID-19 with the Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV vaccine. Following a discussion of the concept of performativity as it pertains to the subject of our study, we contextualize the process of the procurement of the Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV vaccine by Hungary to situate the significance of this transaction, along with that of the performance un…
Foreword to the special section on implications of the Covid pandemic
Peer-reviewed academic journals and special issues are no easy match to make. Special occasions beget special issues, and such occasions are often fleeting moments compared to the lengthy process of peer-review. By the time (and if) articles worthy of publishing are submitted, evaluated, revised, edited, and

Revisiting the European Convention
The European Parliament had long tried and failed to gain a substantive role in the Common Commercial Policy. The Treaty of Lisbon brought a breakthrough for the EP by giving it a veto over international trade treaties. The rule change originated at the Constitutional Convention. While it is generally accepted that the Convention was steered by a desire to make the EU more legitimate, it is argued here that the rule change resulted from the compl…
Against the Current
Hydropolitics, established as the “study of conflict and cooperation between states over (predominantly riverine) water resources that transcend international borders” (Elhance, 1999: 3), is a discourse that often serves to empower states – as the owners of waters – above other actors. Departing from this point, and taking a critical perspective on the subject, combined with an interest in the spatial aspects and spatial dynamics of security issu…
‘Liberal’ Statebuilding in Afghanistan
The new scramble for Africa; Globalization in Africa

Between willing and reluctant entrapment
The article focuses on Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries’ experiences related to Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, three non-European theatres of Western military operations, in predominantly Muslim lands, in the decade between 2001 and 2011. CEE countries readily became involved in two of these foreign missions (Afghanistan and Iraq) because of their deep ties to Western politico-economic structures, without direct security interests compe…

The ‘voracious dragon’, the ‘scramble’ and the ‘honey pot’
Western reactions to China's increasing investment in a number of countries in Africa, as well as Chinese counter-reactions, are often conceptualised as symptoms of a ‘honey pot’ conflict. Such an impression stems from viewing contemporary African development as a ‘new scramble’ for the continent's natural resources. However, the study critically unpacks these claims in various fundamental ways, demonstrating how it is untenable. Objections are b…
Verificationists Versus Realists
Ordinary Versus Super-Omniscient Interpreters
The sceptic argues that we have little, if any, empirical knowledge. Recently Davidson offered a solution to this challenge by introducing his famous omniscient interpreter argument. Many of Davidson‘s critics claim that his solution is obviously flawed, since there is an unbridgeable gap between its premises. But I argue that even if his answer is formally acceptable, it is still problematic because circular. I focus on its modal character. Acco…
The relation of personality functions and adaptive skills to self-esteem in early adolescence
The role of the father for the infant at risk
The interaction patterns of mothers and fathers of 12 small premature infants were compared during the first six months of life, using direct observations and parental reports. Few differences were found during the period of hospitalization but, at home, fathers engaged less in caretaking
