ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words) Under provisions of United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1244, elements of the UN, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the European Union (EU) became the de facto government of Kosovo following NATO’s 1999 air campaign against Serbian forces suspected of committing atrocities against the province’s ethnic Albanian population. On February 17, 2008, after just under a decade of international administration, Kosovo declared its independence and was recognized by the United States and other Western powers in the following days. Given the emphasis placed on respecting Yugoslavia’s sovereignty and preserving its territorial integrity in numerous official texts, including Resolution 1244, why is Kosovo now recognized as an independent state by much of the world? This examines historical, institutional, and systemic explanations for Kosovo’s independence. It concludes that while all three explanations have some merit, only the systemic explanation has sufficient explanatory power to stand on its own. This explanation holds that, by pursuing a “Standards before Status” approach, the international administration of Kosovo exacerbated the existing polarization between Serbs and Kosovar Albanians by failing to provide incentives for concessions. Contrary to stated goals, this approach contributed to the creation of a de facto independent Kosovo state. 14. SUBJECT TERMS Balkans, Ethnic Albanians, European Union, The Federal Republic of 15.

  • Nikita Maslennikov, Institute of Contemporary Development “Considering the Agenda for Russia's Presidency of the G20” Dece
    Nikita Maslennikov, Institute of Contemporary Development “Considering the Agenda for Russia’s Presidency of the G20” December 1 marked the beginning of Russia’s presidency of the G20 – an informal association of the world’s largest economies, which together account for 90% of global GDP, 80% of international trade and 64% of the planet’s population. The eighth G20 summit is scheduled for September 5-6, 2012 in St. Petersburg (at the Constantine Palace). Over the four plus years of its existence the G20 has become an important instrument in anti-crisis regulation. “Through their coordinated action, in just a short period of time, the participating countries managed to stop the economic slide and tighten supervision over national financial systems. They then began systemic transformation of the international financial and economic architecture to bring it into line with twenty-first century demands and started developing the mechanisms that will give us maximum protection from risks, strengthening mutual trust, and giving the impulse for sustained and balanced global economic development.”1 The G20’s main task for 2013 is to make concerted efforts aimed at stimulating economic growth and creating jobs. This in turn requires investment incentives, trust and transparency in markets, and effective regulation. In essence, this triad can be considered the principal priorities for Russia’s presidency, in consideration of which the traditional issues of the G20 will be discussed: • the state of the global economy and implementing the 2009 framework agreement for strong, sustainable and balanced growth; • facilitating job creation; • reforming the currency and financial regulation and supervision systems; • stability on global energy markets; • stimulating international development; • strengthening multilateral trade; • countering corruption.

  • Patriot Games: the Russian State, Kosovo and the Resurgence of the Russian Orthodox Church by Jacob Lokshin, Alexis Turzan, Jensen Vollum
    1 Patriot Games: The Russian State, Kosovo and the Resurgence of the Russian Orthodox Church By Jacob Lokshin, Alexis Turzan, Jensen Vollum Key Terms Vladimir Putin Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) Eastern Orthodoxy Kosovo Patriarch Kirill Yugoslavia Serbia Vuk Jeremic Nationalism Ethnic conflict United Nations/United Nations Security Council (UN/UNSC) North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Nikita Khrushchev Russian Exceptionalism Sovereignty Dmitry Medvedev Pan-Slavism Soviet Union Case "There yet remains but one concluding tale, And then this chronicle of mine is ended— Fulfilled, the duty God ordained to me, A sinner. Not without purpose did the Lord Put me to witness much for many years And educate me in the love of books. One day some indefatigable monk Will find my conscientious, unsigned work; Like me, he will light up his ikon-lamp And, shaking from the scroll the age-old dust, He will transcribe these tales in all their truth.” -Alexander Pushkin “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” -Karl Marx As a new day dawns in Moscow, cathedral bells toll from Gorky Park to Red Square. After years of religious repression during the communist rule of Russia, believers can now congregate at the recently reconstructed Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Christ the Savior. They gather under the watchful gaze of gilded icons–an ordinary sight in 2008 that would have been inconceivable 20 years ago when images venerating Stalin were more common than saintly representations. The service inside the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, however, is no ordinary event. High ranking political officials, clergy, and laypeople alike have gathered to commemorate the 1020th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus when, in 988AD, Prince Vladimir converted the whole of Russia to Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape.

  • The Decembrist Movement and the Spanish Constitution of 1812
    THE DECEMBRIST MOVEMENT AND THE SPANISH CONSTITUTION OF 1812 Susanna Rabow-Edling Uppsala University Abstract: This paper studies the impact of the Spanish constitution of 1812 on Russian liberals in general and on the Decembrist movement specifically. It concludes that the constitution mainly exerted influence on the Decembrists by confirming their belief that liberty and constitutions were expressions of "the spirit of the time." It proved to them that liberal reforms were possible in Russia as well. Key Words: Russian liberalism, Decembrist movement, Spanish constitution of 1812, post-Napoleonic revolutions I During the last decade accounts of Russian history have been dominated by a propensity to emphasize autocratic tendencies. Thus, Russia has been portrayed as a country that is, always has been, and always will be autocratic. This might be a convenient explanation for the state of contemporary Russia, but it is not true. Nowadays, when Russian liberals are fighting for their existence, it is especially important to remember that Russia also has a liberal tradition. This tradition was particularly potent during the first and third quarters of the nineteenth century, which was also a period in Russian history when the ties to Western Europe were exceptionally strong. Therefore, we should not, as have often been done, overemphasize the internal influences on this movement.1 In fact, it cannot be properly understood outside of the contemporary European movement for liberty and constitutionalism of which it was part. This is not to say that the internal context was irrelevant. Internal conditions played a vital role for the choices liberals made, but national demands and nationalistic influences did not make the movement less international.

  • Incentives to Centrally Clear Over-The-Counter (OTC) Derivatives
    Incentives to centrally clear over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives A post-implementation evaluation of the effects of the G20 financial regulatory reforms 7 August 2018 The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is established to coordinate at the international level the work of national financial authorities and international standard-setting bodies in order to develop and promote the implementation of effective regulatory, supervisory and other financial sector policies. Its mandate is set out in the FSB Charter, which governs the policymaking and related activities of the FSB. These activities, including any decisions reached in their context, shall not be binding or give rise to any legal rights or obligations under the FSB’s Articles of Association. Contacting the Financial Stability Board Sign up for e-mail alerts: www.fsb.org/emailalert Follow the FSB on Twitter: @FinStbBoard E-mail the FSB at: [email protected] Copyright © 2018 Financial Stability Board. Please refer to: www.fsb.org/terms_conditions/ The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures, the Financial Stability Board and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (together, ‘the Committees’) are seeking comments on their consultative document on incentives to centrally clear over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. The main elements of the G20 post-crisis reforms have been agreed and implementation is underway. An analysis of the effects of these reforms is therefore becoming possible. To that end, the FSB developed a Framework for Post-Implementation Evaluation of the Effects of the G20 Financial Regulatory Reforms that will guide analyses of whether the reforms are achieving their intended outcomes, and help to identify material unintended consequences that may have to be addressed, without compromising on the objectives of the reforms.

  • Property Rights in Kosovo: a Haunting Legacy of a Society
    O C C A S I O N A L P A P E R S E RIE S PROPERTY RIGHTS IN KOSOVO: A HAUNTING LEGACY OF A SOCIETY IN TRANSITION Written by Edward Tawil for the International Center for Transitional Justice February 2009 ©2009 International Center for Transitional Justice This document may be cited as Edward Tawil, Property Rights in Kosovo: A Haunting Legacy of a Society in Transition (2009), International Center for Transitional Justice ABOUT THE ICTJ The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) assists countries pursuing accountability for past mass atrocity or human rights abuse. The Center works in societies emerging from repressive rule or armed conflict, as well as in established democracies where historical injustices or systemic abuse remain unresolved. In order to promote justice, peace, and reconciliation, government officials and nongovernmental advocates are likely to consider a variety of transitional justice approaches including both judicial and non-judicial responses to human rights crimes. The ICTJ assists in the development of integrated, comprehensive, and localized approaches to transitional justice comprising five key elements: prosecuting perpetrators, documenting and acknowledging violations through non-judicial means such as truth commissions, reforming abusive institutions, providing reparations to victims, and facilitating reconciliation processes. The Center is committed to building local capacity and generally strengthening the emerging field of transitional justice, and works closely with organizations and experts around the world to do so. By working in the field through local languages, the ICTJ provides comparative information, legal and policy analysis, documentation, and strategic research to justice and truth-seeking institutions, nongovernmental organizations, governments, and others.
