JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE POLITICS 4 ENVIRONMENTAL COOPERATION AS THE INSTRUMENT OF CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION IN EAST ASIA1 Ladislav CABADA and Šárka WAISOVÁ2 ……………………………………………………………………….…………………………………… East Asia is an area with high number of political militarized conflicts, but also with high biodiversity and fast environmental degradation. A decade ago there emerged the idea that environmental cooperation is able to initiate and sustain a dialogue between the parties of a conflict and facilitates conflict transformation and peace building. This article tests on the three case studies from East Asia two hypotheses and asks one question to find out more about the origin and functioning of environmental cooperation in areas of political conflicts. The article shows that environmental cooperation can emerge even during a political conflict, but only at a time when the intensity of the violence is low. The emergence and development of environmental cooperative projects also depends on the support of external actors. We conclude that the intensity of environmental cooperation in conflict-prone areas remains weak even after many years and even when the process is strongly supported by many external actors. Key words: environmental cooperation; environmental peace building; cooperation in conflict areas; South Korea; North Korea; China; Taiwan; Thailand; Cambodia. 1 INTRODUCTION In the 1980s East Asia3 went from being the world´s bloodiest battleground to one of its most peaceful regions, and this era of relative peace has continued. 1 This article is the outcome of the project carried out through the University of West Bohemia (SGS-2016-2032). We are grateful to the university for the support. 2 Ladislav CABADA is associated professor of Comparative Politics at the Metropolitan University in Prague and University of West Bohemia in Pilsen Czech Republic, permanent Visiting Scholar at the National University of Public Service in Budapest, Hungary and Co-Editor of Politics in Central Europe. Šárka WAISOVÁ is associated professor of International Relations and Security Studies at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and International Chair at the National University of Public Service in Budapest, Hungary, and Co-Editor of Politics in Central Europe. 3 East Asia here includes China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE POLITICS 5 While there was a precipitous decline in organized violence in East Asia in the period of 1980-2010, the militarized disputes in the Taiwan Strait, Korean peninsula, the East China Sea, the South China Sea and between Cambodia and Thailand have not been resolved (Tønneson et al 2013). East Asia is not only the region with persisting number of military interstate conflicts but also with high biodiversity and high number of biodiversity hotspots. East Asia has great biodiversity importance and richness, ranking with South America as the richest place on Earth for variety of living. Of the world´s 25 recognized biodiversity hotspots, sever are in East Asia, covering the entire ASEAN region, parts of India, Sri Lanka, southwest China and the eastern Himalayan countries of Nepal, Bhutan and India. Biodiversity hotspots are defined as areas featuring exceptional concentrations of endemic species and experiencing exceptional loss of habitat (Myers et al 2000; Hanson 2009). But East Asia is also the region with serious environmental problems. High population density combined with high rate of consumption of natural resources and the pressure

  • Free Speech in the 21St Century
    SPONSORS FREE SPEECH IN THE 21ST CENTURY JULY 3-4 / VIRTUAL CONFERENCE THE OVERVIEW Free speech is one of the essential democratic rights, and one of the most controversial. Whether it is Donald Trump’s Twitter account, Larry Flynt’s pornographic magazine, protests, the financing of an election campaign, or hate speech directed at migrants or minorities, free speech incidents attract intense attention and regularly provoke debate. The limits to our freedom of expression are changing. The forthcoming Free Speech in the 21st Century global conference will feature unique exploration into crucial freedom of speech is- sues. It will gather together the biggest names in constitutional law to debate the future of the human right that is so important to democratic society. You are invited to attend and participate. Mark Tushnet of Harvard, Jacob Rowbottom of Oxford, and David Erdos of Cambridge, among others, will evaluate how the matter of free speech is currently understood, and its future. András Sajó, a member of Facebook’s Oversight Board and a former European Court of Human Rights vice-president, will elaborate on the changing limits of freedom of expression. Jurij To- plak of Alma Mater Europaea and a Visiting Professor at Fordham Law will moderate the event. The conference is organized by Alma Mater Europaea international university and the IACL, the leading global association of constitutional scholars. It will be the inaugural meeting of the IACL’s Freedom of Speech research group. There is no registration fee.

The Republic of Slovenia has 212 3 municipalities, of which as many as 109 fewer than 5.000 inhabitants, as required by 13.a article of the Law on Local Self- Government (LGA)4 .

  • Slovenia 3Rd Evaluation Report Public
    Strasbourg, 16 April 2014 ECRML (2014) 5 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES APPLICATION OF THE CHARTER IN SLOVENIA 4th monitoring cycle A. Report of the Committee of Experts on the Charter B. Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the application of the Charter by Slovenia The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages provides for a control mechanism to evaluate how the Charter is applied in a State Party with a view to, where necessary, making recommendations for improving its legislation, policy and practices. The central element of this procedure is the Committee of Experts, set up under Article 17 of the Charter. Its principal purpose is to report to the Committee of Ministers on its evaluation of compliance by a Party with its undertakings, to examine the real situation of regional or minority languages in the State and, where appropriate, to encourage the Party to gradually reach a higher level of commitment. To facilitate this task, the Committee of Ministers adopted, in accordance with Article 15, paragraph 1, an outline for periodical reports that a Party is required to submit to the Secretary General. The report should be made public by the State. This outline requires the State to give an account of the concrete application of the Charter, the general policy for the languages protected under Part II and, in more precise terms, all measures that have been taken in application of the provisions chosen for each language protected under Part III of the Charter. The Committee of Experts’ first task is therefore to examine the information contained in the periodical report for all the relevant regional or minority languages on the territory of the State concerned.
