With the use of soft power politics in warfare as the root of interest, this study uses the theories of cultural diplomacy and visual international relations to explore how images may be central to modern-day warfare and conflicts as the perception of. The study has a theory-building approach and aims to build on the concept of cultural diplomacy in order to explain how the images sent out by states can be politized and used to conduct cultural warfare. To explore how Russia and Ukraine used Eurovision Song Contest as a cultural battlefield this study uses the methodological framework of a qualitative case study with the empirical data being Ukraine’s and Russia’s Eurovision Song Contest performances in 2016 and 2017, respectively, which was analyzed using Roland Barthes’ method of image analysis. The main finding of the study was that both Russia and Ukraine used ESC as a cultural battlefield on which they used their performances to alter the perception of themselves and the other by instrumentalizing culture for political gain.

French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded to 'BB+' on Improved Liquidity and Capital Structure; Outlook Stable
Research Update: French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded To 'BB+' On Improved Liquidity And Capital Structure; Outlook Stable Primary Credit Analyst: Christophe Boulier, Paris (39) 02-72111-226; [email protected] Secondary Contact: Andrey Nikolaev, CFA, Paris (33) 1-4420-7329; [email protected] Table Of Contents Overview Rating Action Rationale Outlook Ratings Score Snapshot Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis Related Criteria Ratings List WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT APRIL 5, 2018 1 Research Update: French Nuclear Company Orano Upgraded To 'BB+' On Improved Liquidity And Capital Structure; Outlook Stable Overview • Orano has reported EBITDA of close to €1 billion for 2017, despite challenging industry conditions, and its recent restructuring and capital increases have improved its liquidity and capital structure. • We think Orano will continue to focus on cost-cutting and generate moderately positive free operating cash flow, enabling it to reduce net debt in 2018-2020. • Consequently, we are upgrading Orano to 'BB+' from 'BB'. • The stable outlook reflects our view that Orano will be able to reduce adjusted debt to EBITDA to below 5.5x in 2019-2020 despite challenging industry conditions, supported by its sizeable, long-term order backlog. Rating Action On April 5, 2018, S&P Global Ratings raised its long-term issuer credit rating on France-based nuclear services group Orano to 'BB+' from 'BB'. The outlook is stable. We also raised our ratings on Orano's senior unsecured bonds to 'BB+' from 'BB'. Although we expect substantial recovery (70%-90%; rounded estimate 85%) on the bonds in the event of a default, the recovery rating is capped at '3' due to the bonds' unsecured nature and issuance by a company rated in the 'BB' category. -
