(US) Expansion of Plug-in Hybrids Not Going Smoothly President Obama's ambitious goal to ramp up the plug-in hybrid fleet is unlikely to be achieved, due to the higher price than conventional cars and the drop in domestic gasoline prices. 2. (EU) Signing of the International Energy Charter In May 2015, the International Energy Charter (IEC) was signed off. Whether the Energy Union promoted by the European Commission and the conventional Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) framework will develop side-by-side or compete with each other must be closely monitored. 3. (China) Working Hard to Upgrade the Quality of Oil Products The government decided to move forward the introduction of an auto fuel standard equivalent to EURO5 from 2018 to 2017. The selection and restructuring of regional refineries and the establishment of a powerful monitoring and surveillance system are the keys to quickly improving quality. 4. (Middle East) Saudi Arabia Undergoes Major Personnel Changes Whether and how much Saudi Arabia's personnel changes will affect its oil policy is attracting much attention.

Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Avenida Tomás y Valiente, 1. Campus de Cantoblanco. 28049 Madrid. e-mail: [email protected] Submitted: 11 Junio 2015; Accepted: 9 Agosto 2015 ABSTRACT: As a result of a internal crisis, the Spanish Monarchy underwent a process of redefinition between the end of the seventeenth century and the decade of the 1740s. By synthesizing traditional Spanish historiography with the insights of an incipient brand of European modernity, Spanish authors crafted a peculiar account of the “un- known past” of their body politic. The Spanish atlántidas rose to become creators of a great empire and protagonists in the founding of European culture. A new national imaginary emerged that legitimized the task of redefinition. With variations, this concern with origins dominated Spain’s introspection in the eighteenth century. KEYWORDS: Identity; historiography; cultural history; José Pellicer, Spanish monarchy; early modern history.

Today political scientists frequently speak of hegemonic states.

  • China at the Gates a New Power Audit of Eu-China Relations
    CHINA AT THE GATES A NEW POWER AUDIT OF EU-CHINA RELATIONS François Godement & Abigaël Vasselier ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values- based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: • A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over two hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Carl Bildt, Emma Bonino and Mabel van Oranje. • A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia and Warsaw. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • Developing contagious ideas that get people talking. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to carry out innovative research and policy development projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR produces original research; publishes policy reports; hosts private meetings, public debates, and “friends of ECFR” gatherings in EU capitals; and reaches out to strategic media outlets. ECFR is a registered charity funded by the Open Society Foundations and other generous foundations, individuals and corporate entities.

  • Press Release by Parliament of Singapore Opening Of
    PRESS RELEASE BY PARLIAMENT OF SINGAPORE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT TO BE HELD AT PARLIAMENT HOUSE AND THE ARTS HOUSE The proceedings for the Opening of the First Session of the Fourteenth Parliament of Singapore on 24 August 2020 will be held across two locations, namely Parliament House and The Arts House. This is the first time that an Opening of Parliament will be held in more than one location. As stated in a President’s Proclamation dated 14 August 2020, The Arts House is one of the appointed places that Parliament may be held under continuity arrangements as set out in the Constitution (See “Background”). 2 Beyond Members of Parliament (MPs), guests are traditionally invited to be present as observers of proceedings of the Opening of Parliament. The proceedings include the taking of Oaths and making of Affirmations by all MPs, as well as the President delivering her Address for the Opening of Parliament. Other than Parliament Secretariat staff, there will also be additional support personnel deployed for the day’s operations. 3 In light of the ongoing COVID-19 situation in Singapore and the safe distancing measures that have to be implemented, Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin has decided that the proceedings on 24 August will take place across the two locations as an added precaution. The Arts House was chosen due to factors including its proximity to Parliament House and sufficient seating capacity for proceedings with safe distancing measures. 4 MPs, guests and staff will be spread across both locations on 24 August. MPs will be taking their Oaths and making their Affirmations from the Chamber in their respective location.

    RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN ASIA Abdullah Islam in a Secular State a Secular in Islam Walid Jumblatt Abdullah Islam in a Secular State Muslim Activism in Singapore Islam in a Secular State Religion and Society in Asia This series contributes cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary academic research on various forms and levels of engagement between religion and society that have developed in the regions of South Asia, East Asia, and South East Asia, in the modern period, that is, from the early 19th century until the present. The publications in this series should reflect studies of both religion in society and society in religion. This opens up a discursive horizon for a wide range of themes and phenomena: the politics of local, national and transnational religion; tension between private conviction and the institutional structures of religion; economical dimensions of religion as well as religious motives in business endeavours; issues of religion, law and legality; gender relations in religious thought and practice; representation of religion in popular culture, including the mediatisation of religion; the spatialisation and temporalisation of religion; religion, secularity, and secularism; colonial and post-colonial construction of religious identities; the politics of ritual; the sociological study of religion and the arts. Engaging these themes will involve explorations of the concepts of modernity and modernisation as well as analyses of how local traditions have been reshaped on the basis of both rejecting and accepting Western religious,

    4/28/2020 United Arab Emirates | Freedom House FREEDOM IN THE WORLD 2020 United Arab Emirates 17 NOT FREE /100 Political Rights 5 /40 Civil Liberties 12 /60 LAST YEAR'S SCORE & STATUS 17 /100 Not Free Global freedom statuses are calculated on a weighted scale. See the methodology. TOP https://freedomhouse.org/country/united-arab-emirates/freedom-world/2020 1/15 4/28/2020 United Arab Emirates | Freedom House Overview The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates led in practice by Abu Dhabi, the largest by area and richest in natural resources. Limited elections are held for a federal advisory body, but political parties are banned, and all executive, legislative, and judicial authority ultimately rests with the seven hereditary rulers. The civil liberties of both citizens and noncitizens, who make up an overwhelming majority of the population, are subject to significant restrictions. Key Developments in 2019 Pope Francis undertook the first papal visit to the UAE and the Arabian Peninsula in February, as Emirati officials sought to burnish the country’s reputation for religious tolerance. In May, Emirati media circulated video images of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al- Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi and president of the UAE, meeting well-wishers during Ramadan. Sheikh Khalifa had rarely appeared in public since suffering a stroke in 2014; his half-brother and designated heir, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, remained the country’s de facto ruler. Nonpartisan elections for half of the seats on the UAE’s advisory council were held in October, featuring a somewhat expanded pool of eligible voters and greater participation by women candidates, though turnout remained low.
