Germany has always attached great importance to the dialogue between East and West and was therefore one of the main advocates of the enlargement of the European Union. The theme of the congress „Transcending Europe’s Borders: The EU and its neighbours“ is an indication that the deepening of relations with Central and Eastern Europe is an ongoing process that has lost none of its signi cance. Academic research is crucial in facilitating a deeper understanding of the challenges and perspectives for relations between East and West and it provides help and assistance in the quest for solutions. German academic research into Central and Eastern European affairs enjoys a worldwide reputation for its quality and differentiation. I am very grateful to all donors for supporting the rst Regional European Congress in Berlin which will be attended by over 440 scholars, experts and multipliers from the elds of politics and the economy not only from European Countries but also from the United States, Canada and Japan. This makes it an important event that will have a major impact on Eastern European affairs and a common European development in the years to come. I hope the congress will provide you all with fresh knowledge and a greater understanding of the social, economic and political processes affecting the future in Europe. I wish the International Council for Central and East European Studies and the Regional European Congress of East European Studies every success. Prof. Dr. Rita Süssmuth President of the German Association for East European Studies ICCEES Regional European Congress 7 Welcome from the President of ICCEES It is a great pleasure to welcome, on behalf of the Executive Committee of ICCEES, the participants in the ICCEES Regional European Congress of 2007. Berlin was also the venue for the full quinquennial ICCEES World Congress in the summer of 2005, and we owe a great debt to the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde, and to Professor Thomas Bremer and Dr. Heike Dörrenbächer in particular, for their work in maintaining the momentum created on that occasion. Berlin’s historical position at the crossroads of Europe, vigorously re-established since the fall of Communism, makes the city an ideal location for the discussion of the issues to which this Congress is devoted: Transcending Europe’s Borders – the EU and its Neighbours. Even in the two years since the World Congress much has changed in Europe: the admission of new member states into the EU, the appearance of fresh points of friction at the EU’s periphery, increasing population movement both within and outside the EU. These and many other related issues will be debated at this Congress in the long-established ICCEES tradition of inter-disciplinary research, from a wide variety of standpoints and by representatives of many nations. One such Regional Congress of ICCEES took place in Melbourne, Australia, in 1997. It is intended that this Berlin Congress should inaugurate a series of such Regional European Congresses involving the participation of professional associations and individuals from all the countries of the EU and further a eld. I wish the Congress every success in the establishment of this new enterprise, which can provide an invaluable complement to the quinquennial World Congresses. Our discussions will be continued at the VIII World Congress in Stockholm in 2010, for which preparations are already in train. Prof. John D.

MA Thesis Supervisors: Prof. Klaus Segbers; Prof. Vello Pettai Berlin 2018 Abstract A large body of literature finds a negative relationship between oil abundance and different governance indicators in developing countries. Still, there is a substantial variation among them in terms of quality of governance (QoG). Why do even similar oil-rich countries differ in QoG? This master thesis investigates that puzzle, taking three oil rich post-soviet states - Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan during 1996-2014- as examples. Relying on the literature on the rentier state theory, fiscal sociology paradigm and ownership structure theory, this study finds that the difference can be explained by the chosen ownership structure of natural resources. Not aimed at generalizing the findings, this study shows that the more substantial role private companies have in the oil industry the better is the QoG. Key words: QoG, post-soviet states, ownership structure Table of contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………... 1 1. The Main Concept………………………………………………………………………. 5 1.1. The Quality of Governance: What Does It Suggest?..................................................... 5 2.

The nearer the war, the less peaceniks? 24 2.6 Are we willing and able, can we afford to wage war? If the (post-)modern Western societies can only accept violence without victims, will they lose any campaign? 25 2.7 Do the last weeks show that military power is (still) relevant? Or rather on the contrary? 27 2.8 Does this conflict give our colleagues Macchiavelli, Huntington and Gellner new legitimisation? 30 2.9 Is this, after all, the revanche of the Modern against postmodernism? 31 2.10 What do we learn about sovereignty after the crisis? Do only ‘good’ states or great powers have a right to be sovereign? 34 2.11 Does anyone see on the Balkans elements of a new world order and what are the implications for the role of the United Nations (UN)? 36 2.12 Adhocism, virtual politics and missing agendas.
