As the majority of you for sure have noticed, there was a break in our appearance. That was the time of a transition during which the journal arrived from the previous publish- er to the current one. Center for European Perspective as the former and IFIMES – The International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies as the latter, agreed that this journal will continue to be published by IFIMES. This agreement that entered into force during summer time enabled the editorial board to continue with the journal’s mission. This is the fact that is for us all the most important one. The current issue – October 2018 – basically follows the so far edito- rial outlook. We did not change neither the editorial policy nor the jour- nal’s features. So we still aim to present, discuss and bring experiences from the European integration process primarily, not only to the region of the Western Balkans but broadly as well as to promote young authors. This issue brings five articles and two book reviews. Hopefully you would be pleased with the academic offer this issue brings on your desk or screen. The first article focuses on public diplomacy, the still current trend in diplomatic practice, but also theory. This in particular, since the re- spected author, a career diplomat and academician, devotes his atten- tion also to social media and fake news. To contemplate this in a man- ner that relates to the scientific journal, is not that often. Our second contribution discusses the ever present, though chang- ing relation between diplomacy and espionage. The ardent author points out subtle, but clear frontiers between the two professions and elaborates on those characteristics that bring both activities together. At the end of the day, both are inseparable linked to the nation state. 5 The third contribution brings innovation in discussing the phenom- ena of the UN: Kant at the East River. What can, maybe also should, the UN learn from the great author of the great essay on perpetual peace, still current as it was centuries ago when written? With one word, de- mocracy is the nexus that should fulfill the diplomatic agenda not only of the universal international organization. The fourth one dwells on various intercultural aspects of global competition, where culture could be a criteria for open, proactive and fruitful cooperation. Culture as one of the most determining starting points for an individual as well as for the society has the potential to enhance competition. But as the same time it also brings into it more understanding and interconnectedness. Also the last piece of examination is innovative: the author looks at the diplomatic aspects and facets in the outstanding, astonishing work of science fiction guru Isaak Asimov. His Foundation Trilogy does not lack diplomatic esprit and points out varies understandings of diplo- macy, both contradictory as well as complementary. The first book review uncovers a unique handbook for achieving business success, stemming from the real experience of a branded per- sonality, and the second one difficult, demanding, but the only correct of Bosnia and Herzegovina – its further democratization, coming from the desktop of a renowned academician. Last but not least, the recent Guest View encourages us all to carry on our mission in spite of all that can happen on walking such a long – hopefully not to windy – road towards cooperation, complementarity and a responsible future. After all, quite interesting, perhaps also a picturesque reading, while we enter into the next, for us already the tenth year. See you then. Ljubljana, October 2018 M. J. 6 guest view Policy Thought in Turbulent Times Ernest Petrič EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES − INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL ON EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES VOLUME 9, NUMBER 1 (16), PP 7-11, OCTOBER 2018 Policy Thought in Turbulent Times Ernest Petrič1 It is my great pleasure and honour to write the Guest View for this issue of the renowned international scientific journal European Per- spectives. The journal is entering its tenth year, which is an important achievement. Its publication begun – symbolically – upon the twenti- eth anniversary of the end of the Cold War. During this time it has published numerous views, analyses and com- mentaries of various international events. All this time the journal has fulfilled its basic mission: presenting the Western Balkans region with its problems and achievements and promoting its EU and NATO inte- gration. The journal has another important role: it has published high quality articles written by young and less known authors, especially from the Western Balkans. It should be noted that each article published in European Perspectives goes through double blind peer review procedure, which ensures a high scientific level and impartiality. The journal has been included in various index databases, which makes it an even more interesting medium for publishing original views on international topics. This year the journal passed into the hands of a new publisher: the internationally known and renowned IFIMES Institute (International Institute for Middle-East and Balkan Studies). I am convinced that this will further strengthen the reputation of European Perspectives in the academic world. At the same time, the journal will reach a wider re- sponse among the political circles, especially in the regions covered by the IFIMES Institute, bearing in mind that the latter has a wide network of connections even at the highest political levels. On the other hand, with the European Perspectives IFIMES will gain additional academic reference, which is all the more important in view of the Institute’s 1 Dr. Ernest Petrič, Professor of International law, diplomat, Vice-President of IFIMES Advisory Board, former President of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia and member of the International Law Commission. 9 ERNEST PETRIč empirical research activities. Thus, the journal and its new publisher represent a very good combination, which is expected to bring about many synergies. It should also be stressed that the journal’s previous publisher Centre for European Perspective (CEP) accomplished a very important task of introducing a high quality journal

When did you come to the U.S.? What are some of your academic and teach- ing interests? I was born and grew up in L’viv—a city in Western Ukraine that played a major role in the Ukrainian cultural revival in the late Soviet era and eventually in the move- ment for Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union. In those early years of independence, I participated in a student exchange program called FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange Program) sponsored by the US State Depart- ment in an effort to build better relationships with the former Soviet republics. This program brought me to the United States for the first time: for ten months I lived with an American host family and studied at a public high school. In many ways, this program determined book project based on my dissertation. I also hope to my future path in life—upon my return to L’viv, I chose have a chance to teach a course on contemporary Slavic to major in English and English-Ukrainian translation at women’s writing sometime in the future. the university, and in the early 2000s I decided to return Besides literature, I also have strong research and to the United States for graduate work in languages and teaching interests in second language studies and Slavic literature.

  • Slovenija in Nato – Dolga in Vijugasta Pot Slovenia and Nato - the Long and Winding Road
    DOI:10.33179/BSV.99.SVI.11.CMC.16.3.2 Milan Jazbec SLOVENIJA IN NATO – DOLGA IN VIJUGASTA POT SLOVENIA AND NATO - THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD Povzetek Prispevek obravnava proces vključevanja Slovenije v Nato, predvsem v letih 2000– 2004. Avtor ga razume v okviru širših sprememb, ki so se zgodile ob koncu hladne vojne, in kot del evropskega integracijskega procesa. Slovenija je bila edina država v širši regiji, ki je postala članica Nata in EU leta 2004, proces pa je trajal dobro desetletje. Za slovenski obrambno-varnostni sistem in za varnost države je bil to najpomembnejši dosežek po osamosvojitvi. Članstvo v Natu je okrepilo slovensko obrambo in vojaško identiteto ter pospešilo različne transformacijske procese, ki so potekali v Slovenski vojski, na primer profesionalizacijo, namestljivost in modernizacijo. Prav tako je oblikovalo razumevanje dejstva, da so vojaške sile orodje zunanje politike in da sta se temeljna zunanjepolitična cilja države (članstvo v Natu in EU) po uresničitvi spremenila v sredstvo za dosego novih ciljev. Leto 2004 predstavlja vrh integracijske dinamike, ki je spremenila evro-atlantski prostor. To je bilo leto stabilizacije, ki je bila dosežena s t. i. velikim širitvenim pokom. Nekatera spoznanja iz Natovih širitev po koncu hladne vojne niso bila razumljena na Zahodnem Balkanu, kar je vplivalo na zastoj širitvenega procesa. Po širitvi 2004 pa je postala integracijska dinamika v tej regiji vsakdanja, tako je območje dobilo prvič v zgodovini edinstveno priložnost za stabilizacijo. Tudi Slovenija je posredovala svoje širitvene izkušnje državam v regiji. Avtor poleg tega predstavlja še nekatere osebne izkušnje, ki pripomorejo k prikazu posebnosti slovenskega članstva v Natu.
