Recognition in the European Union: Struggles for ethical community, justice and identity
The population history of Central Europe in the Early Bronze Age (2200/2100–1600/1500 BC) - a craniometric approach
During the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, migrations and the advent of working bronze alloy materials triggered profound cultural, social, and economic shifts across Central Europe. As a result of this processes, many communities with distinct archaeological and cultural characteristics emerged during the Central European Early Bronze Age (between circa 2200/2100 and 1600/1500 BC) in Central Europe, and with the Middle Bronze Age of the Car…
Private Military and Security Companies and the European Union as an Enmeshed Security and Defence Actor
This article argues that extensive use of private military and security companies (PMSCs) makes the European Union (EU) an enmeshed security and defence actor. This is an actor spanning the public and the private domains as well as the resources, rules and practices of the EU member states and of EU‐level institutions. Enmeshment, in Leander's (2014) terms, leads to recombination and blending of rules, resources and practices from multiple domain…
Repositioning of war: The Ambiguous Language of Private Military and Security Companies
This article argues that war as an institution of the modern state order is repositioned by the ambiguous language used by private military and security companies (PMSCs). We suggest that in order to get an analytical grip on the ongoing repositioning of war as an institution, it is useful to study language and discursive practices of PMSCs. This includes capturing emergence of new recombined vocabularies connecting PMSCs to multiple societal dom…
Thought Communities and Pre‐conditions for Polity Formation in the European Union: Evidence From Six EU Member States
How do citizens in European Union (EU) member states think about the EU? And what are the implications of different ‘thinking styles’ for citizens' preferences regarding formation of policies, politics and polity in the EU? The current article uses relational class analysis (RCA) and analyses perceptions of the EU as a political order by citizens in six selected member states. These are France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – three…
Social and genetic diversity in first farmers of central Europe
The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) Neolithic communities were the first to spread farming across large parts of Europe. We report genome-wide data for 250 individuals: 178 individuals from whole-cemetery surveys of the Alföld Linearbankeramik Culture eastern LBK site of Polgár-Ferenci-hát, the western LBK site of Nitra Horné Krškany and the western LBK settlement and massacre site of Asparn-Schletz, as well as 48 LBK individuals from 16 other sites and …
Non-Wars and Emergence of New Organizational Forms Combining States, Markets and Civil Society
States, interstitial organizations and the prospects for liberal international order
This article proposes a complementary approach to analysing destabilization of the liberal international order (LIO) and argues that such challenges are related to endogenous institutional processes within the LIO. Faced with constraints of the core norms, rules and institutions of the LIO, states use interstitial organizations (INTOs)-new organizational forms recombining resources, rules, practices and structures from multiple institutional doma…

Spaces and Institutional Logics in Post-Conflict Settings of Mitrovica
Spaces structure interactions between communities in post-conflict settings. They are governed by particular institutional logics, which can foster boundary building and boundary transgression. This article proposes an extended version of the concept of ‘everyday peace’ including a focus not only on micro-level individual actorness in social interactions but also on an important meso- level dimension in the analysis of social behaviour and variat…

EU-supported reforms in the EU neighbourhood as organized anarchies: The case of post-Maidan Ukraine
How does the EU and its member states organize their support for reforms in the countries of the EU Neighbourhood? Building on organization theory research on reforms as sets of loosely coupled ‘garbage can’ processes, we conceptualize the ENP induced reform processes as an organized framework connecting the reform capacities of not only the EU institutions but also EU member-state governments. We apply this approach to Ukraine in the post-Maidan…

Reinvigorating the rotating presidency: Slovakia and agenda-setting in the EU’s external relations
What scope and autonomy are available to a small member state holding the EU Presidency as regards shaping the agenda and influencing decision-making in the EU’s external relations? This article focuses on the case of the Slovak Presidency (SK PRES) of the Council of Ministers of the EU in the second half of 2016. Building on organization theory-inspired institutionalist approaches to studying practices in organizations, it examines how Slovakia …

A Multidimensional Research Strategy for the Evaluation of Settlement Pits: 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography, Magnetic Prospection and Soil Chemistry
Irrespective of the region and time period, settlement pits are common features at archaeological sites. Variations in shape, size and fill reflect great diversity in terms of primary and secondary functions. Careful analysis of these aspects and a pit's refilling history yield key information for the reconstruction of economic, social and chronological aspects of settlement history. At present, it is unusual for a settlement site to undergo comp…

The ‘Mitrailleuse Effect: The Eeas as an Interstitial Organization and the Dynamics of Innovation in Diplomacy
This article argues that the European External Action Service (EEAS) could be conceptualized as an interstitial organization – that is, an organization emerging in interstices between various organizational fields and recombining physical, informational, financial, legal and legitimacy resources stemming from organizations belonging to these different organizational fields. This interstitial status creates a situation in which there are different…
Compliance and non-compliance as sources of recognition: Slovakia and Nato
This article argues that there is a difference in what constitutes the sources of recognition prior to countries’ membership in the Euro-Atlantic community represented by NATO and after countries become its members. While prior to membership, countries are recognized for their compliance with NATO standards and policies, upon membership countries get the opportunity to promote specific interests legitimately and may seek recognition via non-compl…

Does the European Union transform the institution of diplomacy
Diplomacy as a framework of principles, rules and organized patterns of behaviour regulating interstate relations in the Westphalian system of states is challenged by the process of European integration. This article conceptualizes diplomacy and its change using two new institutionalist perspectives that provide us with complementary insights into the nature of diplomacy as an institution. These are then applied to the study of diplomacy in the E…

European Defence Agency: A Flashpoint of Institutional Logics
The European Defence Agency (EDA) works in a policy area traditionally characterised by high diversity among actors regarding basic notions of what level of integration and which principles of interaction in the defence sector are appropriate for the EU, which countries should participate in defence cooperation, and what coordination mechanisms and instruments should be used. In all these dimensions, the EDA has been a flashpoint of institutional…

EU-oriented bilateralism: Evaluating the role of member state embassies in the European Union
The European Union (EU) constitutes an evolving diplomatic milieu characterized by high levels of interconnectedness among the politico-administrative apparatuses of member states. The article assesses whether the continued presence of member state bilateral embassies in the EU is residual and largely emptied of function, or whether they are adapting their role to new requirements in the EU policy environment. An analytical framework is developed…

Emerging Tenets of Responsive Foreign Policymaking
The rise in prominence of new foreign policy actors, agendas, and security threats in the decades following the end of the Cold War has led to intensified uncertainty about the basic notions of what are appropriate actions of states and other actors in particular situations, who are legitimate actors, what provides legitimacy for international actions, and how. An intensive search by governments for new ideational, conceptual, and procedural unde…
