    Band 2 / 2020 Band 2 / 2020 “Out of the box thinking” was on the agenda of the 20th Regional Stability in the South Caucasus Study Group (RSSC SG) work- shop. After several workshops dealing with geopolitical issues, and a stock-taking workshop in 2018, the co-chairs re-directed attention to the need for practical, ground-based initiatives to foster greater stability at the grass-roots and community levels. Concrete Steps to Break Speakers from the region were required to concentrate on what outcomes and conditions could break the current deadlocks the Deadlocks in the South in moving towards peace and regional stability. Although dead- locks in South Caucasus conflict resolution were hardly broken, Caucasus fresh consensus emerged among participants inter alia on: commonly held interests being defined and leveraged as confi- dence building to facilitate rapprochement and eventually lead to conflict resolution; administrative and identity issues being maintained cleanly separated; and the need to fully de-politicize issues addressed by peacebuilding initiatives.

    Direct Utilization of Geothermal Energy 2020 Worldwide Review

    Proceedings World Geothermal Congress 2020 Reykjavik, Iceland, April 26 – May 2, 2020 Direct Utilization of Geothermal Energy 2020 Worldwide Review John W. Lund1 and Aniko N. Toth2 1Geo-Heat Center, Oregon Institute of Technology, Klamath Falls Oregon, USA 2Ana-Geo Ltd., Miskolc, Hungary [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Geothermal, direct-use, spas, balneology, space heating, district heating, aquaculture, greenhouses, ground-source heat pumps, industrial application, snow melting, energy savings, wells, drilled, manpower, investment ABSTRACT This paper presents a review of the worldwide applications of geothermal energy for direct utilization and updates the previous survey carried out in 2015. We also compare data from WGC1995, WGC2000, WGC2005, WGC2010, and WGC2015 presented at World Geothermal Congresses in Italy, Japan, Turkey, Indonesia and Australia. As in previous reports, an effort is made to quantify geothermal (ground-source) heat pump data. The present report is based on country update papers received from 62 countries and regions reporting on their direct utilization of geothermal energy. Twenty-six additional countries were added to the list based on other sources of information. Thus, direct utilization of geothermal energy in a total of 88 countries is an increase from 82 in 2015, 78 reported in 2010, 72 reported in 2005, 58 reported in 2000, and 28 reported in 1995. An estimation of the installed thermal power for direct utilization at the end of 2019 is used in this paper and equals 107,727 MWt, a 52.0% increase over the 2015 data, growing at a compound rate of 8.73% annually. The thermal energy used is 1,020,887 TJ/yr (283,580 GWh/yr.), a 72.3% increase over 2015, growing at a compound rate of 11.5% annually.

    Policy Brief: Ukrainian Parliamentary Elections 2019 and Future of Ukrainian Foreign Policy

    Policy Brief: Ukrainian Parliamentary Elections 2019 and Future of Ukrainian Foreign Policy By ECEAP Senior Research Fellow Aap Neljas Abstract President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called snap elections in Ukraine 21 July 2019. Although there are 21 parties that are competing in elections, only five have enough support to enter Parliament according to public opinion polls. Most of the parties expected to become represented in next Ukrainian parliament, including the frontrunner Servant of the People party, support country’s present course of integration with EU and NATO and see as their goal to deepen present integration processes. They also want to achieve restoration of countries territorial integrity through negotiations involving European powers and USA. Only exception is Op- position Platform – for Life party, which wants to change Ukraine’s clear Western orientation towards “multi vector” (in reality pro-Russian) foreign policy, revise free trade agreement with EU and to negotiate peace with Donbas illegitimate leaders on terms acceptable to Russia. It can be concluded, that it is likely that the Ukraine’s pro-EU and pro-NATO foreign policy course will not change significantly after the parliamentary elections. Organisation of elections Snap elections to the Ukrainian parliament will be held on 21 July 2019.1 Originally scheduled to be held at the end of October, these elections were brought forward after newly inaugurated President Volodymyr Zelensky dissolved parliament during his in- auguration on 21 May 2019. After Zelensky issued the decree of calling early elections, a lawsuit was filed to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which seeked to declare the decree unconstitutional and therefore illegal.

Methodology • The survey was conducted by Rating Group Ukraine on behalf of the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights in Survey Research. • The survey was conducted throughout Ukraine (except for the occupied Crimea and certain areas of Donbas) on June 13-23, 2019 through face-to-face interviews at respondents’ homes • •The sample consisted of 2,400 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote. It is representative of the general population by gender, age, region, and settlement size. The distribution of population by regions and settlements is based on statistical data of the Central Election Commission from the 2019 presidential elections, and the distribution of population by age and gender is based on data from the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine from January 1, 2018. • A multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and “last birthday” methods for respondent selection. • Stage One: the territory of Ukraine was split into 25 administrative regions (24 regions and Kyiv). The survey was conducted throughout all regions of Ukraine, except for the occupied Crimea and certain areas of the Donbas. • Stage Two: the territory of each region was split into village and city units. Settlements were split into types by the number of residents: • Cities with population over 1 million • Cities with population 500,000-999,000 • Cities with population 100,000-499,000 • Cities with population 50,000-99,000 • Cities with population up to 50,000 • Urban villages • Villages • Cities and villages were selected using the PPS method (probability proportional to size).

The key themes of the series are the heritage and memory of war and confict, contested heritage, and competing memories. The series editors seek books that analyze the dynamics of the past from the perspective of tangible and intangible remnants, spaces, and traces as well as heritage appropriations and restitutions, signifcations, museal- izations, and mediatizations in the present. Books in the series should address topics such as the politics of heritage and confict, identity and trauma, mourning and reconciliation, nationalism and ethnicity, dias- pora and intergenerational memories, painful heritage and terrorscapes, as well as the mediated reenactments of conficted pasts. Dr. Ihab Saloul is associate professor of cultural studies, founder and research vice-di- rector of the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture (AHM) at University of Amsterdam. Saloul’s interests include cultural memory and identity politics, narrative theory and visual anal- ysis, confict and trauma, Diaspora and migration as well as contempo- rary cultural thought in the Middle East.
