"Democracy" without a Demos? The Bosnian Constitutional Experiment and the Intentional Construction of Nonfunctioning States in East European Politics and Societies, Volume 19, Number 2, May , pp. 226-259 The social science literature on ethnically divided states is huge and varied, but suggestions for constitutional solutions are strangely uniform: "loose federations" of ethnically defined ministates, with minimal central authority that must act by consensus and thus cannot act at all on issues that are contested rather than consented. In Bosnia, the political system mandated by the international High Representative suffer the same structural flaws that were used to make the former Yugoslav federation and the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina unworkable. Similarly nonviable systems were proposed in 1994 to 1995 for Croatia and in 1998 to 1999 for Kosovo and recently for Cyprus and for Iraq. This article analyzes the paradox of mandating consensus-based politics in ethnically divided states, inclusion in which does not have the consent of most members of at least one group. -------- Section A) The theory and practise of the federal states and multi-level systems of government Subsection 1.The theory of federation Shivdeep Singh Grewal A cosmopolitan Europe by constitutional means?

Economic Relations Between the European Union and Sub-Saharan Africa
Kamil Zajączkowski* ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Abstract Th e changes which have been taking place in the European Communities/European Union and on the African continent make it necessary to search for new principles and forms of legal and political relations between the EC/EU and Africa. Th e EU’s international activities towards Sub- Saharan Africa are driven by underlying political and economic interests, common to member states of the EU, which are oft en parallel to the colonial past of many of those countries. Th ese activities also confi rm the role of integrated Europe as a global actor of international relations. Since the fi rst decade of the 21st century, African countries have been experiencing a stable and systematic economic growth. Despite many unsolved development problems, Africa is becoming an attractive partner in global economy, especially the Sub-Saharan part. Th is dynamism of the African economy determines the trade relations with the EU as well. Further in this article, we will discuss the economic cooperation between the regions as well as the legal and institutional framework regulating the relations between them. Keywords: Sub-Saharan Africa, the European Union, economic growth, emerging markets, trade relations Introduction In the early 21st century, Africa is undergoing a considerable and deep economic transformation. In the last decade, the African continent achieved a highly dynamic economic growth, with economic growth rate twice as high as in developed countries. Studies show that in the coming years, global economic growth will be increasingly * Centre for Europe, University of Warsaw; [email protected] 210 Kamil Zajączkowski generated by emerging economies and developing countries. -

Dzintra Bungs 5 Introduction In a sense, this is a “historical” publication. It contains the results of a research project devoted to the question of the “new neighbours” on the eastern border of the newly enlarged EU. Furthermore, it refl ects a break in the research tradition of the Latvian Institute of International Affairs. Whereas earlier, since 1992, when the institute was established, research on security issues was funded by the international foundations and countries that had enjoyed prosperity and democracy since the end of the Second Word War, this year for the fi rst time the research project was funded by the Latvian government, mainly the Ministry of Defence with further support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. -
