Humans and Bears
Svetoslava Toncheva's monograph Humans and Bears: Politics and Coexistence Models falls within the field of several anthropologies.On the one hand, it is influenced by the posthuman turn in social sciences and humanities and therefore engages with the anthropology known as multispecies anthropology, labelled with definitions such as posthuman, extrahuman or more-thanhuman.This anthropology seeks to transcend both the anthropocentric perspective a…
A more capable EU? Assessing the role of the EU’s institutions in defence capability development
Are EU institutions able to perform their preferred role within defence capability development? Highlighting increased demands for a stronger EU role in security, we explore how EU institutions have promoted their role within CSDP. Using role theory, we investigate the European Commission, the EDA, the EEAS and the European Parliament’s ability to promote pooled and shared defence resources in European capability development. We argue that this d…
All hands on deck: Levels of dependence between the EU and other international organizations in peacebuilding
The EU seeks extensive partnership with other international organizations when it comes to security challenges. This is puzzling as the EU relies for its resources mostly on its member states. The relations between the EU and other international organizations have thoroughly been studied, yet scholars rarely question the actual rationale for partnership. We start from resource dependency theory which explains that almost all organizations are dep…
Learning to deploy civilian capabilities: How the United Nations, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and European Union have changed their crisis management institutions
International organizations continuously deploy civilian capabilities as part of their peacekeeping and crisis management operations. This presents them with significant challenges. Not only are civilian deployments rapidly increasing in quantity, but civilian missions are also very diverse in nature. This article analyses how international organizations have learned to deploy their civilian capabilities to deal with a growing number and fast evo…
The EU’s partners in crisis response and peacebuilding: Complementarities and synergies with the UN and OSCE
A stated aim in the EU Global Strategy is for the EU to work with partners in addressing crises across the world. This article analyses such potential in the area of crisis response and peacebuilding, with an emphasis on the EU’s interaction with the UN and OSCE. It starts off comparatively by examining where the EU, UN and OSCE add value in crisis response and peacebuilding and reach complementarities. It shows that deployments differ across geo…
Governing risks in international security
Risks are omnipresent in contemporary international security. Despite a long tradition in security studies going at least back to Von Clausewitz, we consider that the topic of risk remains under-examined. This forum seeks to advance the research agenda on risk in security studies by showcasing work of scholars using advanced concepts of risk, based on insights from sociology, biology, psychology, and safety studies, to better understand the role …
Cross‐Cultural Measurement Invariance of Adolescent Self‐Report on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM 4.0
This study evaluated the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 (PedsQL TM ) among adolescents sampled from Bulgaria, Croatia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Serbia, and Turkey. The multiple-indicator multiple-cause (MIMIC) model was used, which allowed controlling of demographic variables (i.e., age, gender, and socioeconomic status). Significant effects of country on scores within the PedsQL TM …
National Styles of Wrestling in the Soviet Union and the Post-Soviet States: Political and Sociocultural Aspects of Their Development and Use
The designation ‘national styles of wrestling’ was coined in the USSR in the 1920s and is still in use in the post-Soviet space. It refers to indigenous wrestling styles that have been defined as peculiar to particular ethnic groups, especially to those who had become dominant nationalities in the Soviet republics. The selected local or tribal styles were standardised and promoted as sports on a national scale. They were instrumentalised for the …
Wrestling in Multifarious Modernity
The introduction aims at critically discussing ‘traditional’ styles vis-à-vis sportification trajectories and favours the notion of ‘modified’ wrestling. Though neo-traditional or ‘modified’ wrestling practices have reached some degree of sportification, they do not seem to be among the ‘sufficiently’ disciplined ones precisely because they were never fully disconnected from their festive context. Furthermore, they are linked with notions of trad…
The Emerging EU Diplomatic System: Opportunities and Challenges after ‘Lisbon’
Diplomacy is under constant pressure to adjust to the changing context in which foreign policy is made. Although many scholars still associate diplomatic action with principles and rules that regulate relations among sovereign states operating in the area of high politics, current practice no longer fully corresponds with this image. The academic literature points to a variety of transformations that have taken place in recent decades. These incl…
The European Defence Agency and Permanent Structured Cooperation: Are We Heading Towards Another Missed Opportunity
Whose Rule, Whose Law? Contested Statehood, External Leverage and the European Union's Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo
The article discusses the projection of European Union (EU) power under conditions of contested statehood in its ‘near abroad’. Using the EU's mission in Kosovo (EULEX) as a case study, the article unpacks the various levers of external EU influence and explores the conditions under which European policy‐makers become entangled in the ‘existential discourse’ of highly polarized societies with competing statehood claims. The contestation of these …
Eintragungen im Besucherbuch des Nationalen Historischen Museums in Sofia. Zur Rezeption von Symbolen nationaler Vergangenheit
The paper considers the comments of museum visitors on the earliest book on Bulgarian history (1762) to which Bulgarian historians have given the significance of pillar of the “national revival” and examines them as sources for the analysis of how people perceive the past. The comments do not refer to the exhibit as historical artifact, but much more as evidence for historical continuity and as a symbol of the common past and national affiliation…
Les utilisations politiques de la lutte traditionnelle
L'article étudie les compétitions de lutte organisées dans le cadre des fêtes publiques en Bulgarie. Malgré les transformations formelles décidées par l'État après 1944, les luttes sont toujours perçues par les organisateurs et le public comme une tradition. Elles sont instrumentalisées par les élites politiques qui tendent ainsi à se présenter comme gardiennes des « traditions », pour s'assurer prestige et fidélité parmi la population. Elles ser…
