Economic tools of media policy for the preservation of media pluralism: An analysis of solutions adopted in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany and Italy. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. International Relations, 2018, vol. 11, issue 4, pp. 415–435. https://doi.org/10.21638/11701/spbu06.2018.407 Media policy makers are looking for safeguards for freedom of expression other than statutory guarantees. The economic tools of media policy are one of the forms they use. The presented anal- ysis is based on the assumptions of constructivism. The adoption of this theoretical perspective is also connected with the authors’ accepting the statement that shared norms, values and ideas are strengthened, consolidated, worked out, contested and changed in social processes. The starting point for the adopted research strategy was a case study. The article presents indirect and direct subsidies supporting media pluralism in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany and Italy. All of the analysed countries decided to use this form of media support, but the scope of assistance provided is different. The media are most strongly supported by France and Austria while in Italy the level of support can be defined as medium and economic interventions on the media market are taken to the smallest extent by Germany and the Czech Republic.

  • A Cold Winter to Come? the EU Seeks Alternatives to Russian Gas Author: Pasquale DE MICCO
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY A cold winter to come? The EU seeks alternatives to Russian gas Author: Pasquale DE MICCO Abstract The crisis in Ukraine has led to seven rounds of sanctions between Russia and the EU – and may well lead to more. Energy is the most alarming casualty in this clash, with the EU and Russia largely interdependent in the domain. The level of dependency among EU Member States varies greatly, as does their ability to respond to Russian warnings and actions. Ukraine's gas situation is also at stake. The Russian gas exporter Gazprom ceased exporting to Ukraine in June. In late September, gas cuts were registered in Slovakia, Austria, Poland and Romania – in some cases to prevent Russian gas from being diverted to Ukraine. A provisional solution for Ukraine's winter supplies was reached in Berlin on 26 September, but has yet to be completely endorsed by Moscow and Kiev. However, the risk of gas shortages for the rest of Europe has not been averted. Military and political tensions have obliged the EU to boost its energy security mechanisms and seek alternatives to Russian gas. The European Commission has just concluded a stress test on the EU gas system to assess the impact of a potential gas crisis. Several studies have suggested that, in the short term, the EU could substitute Algerian, Norwegian and Qatari supplies for Russian gas, although this would cost more and require new gas terminals. The Union’s reserves – at present 90 % full – will also help, but for how long depends on the coming winter.

  • The International Financial Institutions' Role In
    Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche Cattedra di Relazioni Internazionali THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS’ ROLE IN SUPPORTING KAZAKH DEVELOPMENT Case study: the Asian Development Bank in Kazakhstan RELATORE Prof.ssa Silvia Menegazzi Candidato Camilla Ravagnan Matricola: 079702 ANNO ACCADEMICO 2017/2018 ABSTRACT Until recently Kazakhstan experienced a rapid economic development mainly thanks to its richness in natural resources; the country could therefore reach a status that allowed it to play a significant role even on the global scene as a regional leader. Kazakhstan stands out from the other Central Asian countries, as two of them, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, are poor in natural resources and small in size, while the other two, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, although rich in resources, chose a pattern of self-isolation which is now changing only for Uzbekistan. Besides, some of these countries experienced deep and sometimes violent internal political or ethnical struggle, something that Kazakhstan was able to avoid notwithstanding its complex internal composition. From the economic point of view Kazakhstan is by far the richest country in the Region, from the political one it’s the most active on the world scene as it was capable of establishing strong and solid relations not only with its two big neighbors, China and Russia, but also with the West, Turkey, Iran, Japan and the Gulf countries. In this regard Kazakhstan’s successful bid to a non permanent seat in the UN Security Council for the years 2017-18 marked a major victory

  • La Forma Di Governo Della Repubblica Di Moldova
    LA FORMA DI GOVERNO DELLA REPUBBLICA DI MOLDOVA FABIO RATTO TRABUCCO Dottore di ricerca in Diritto Pubblico SOMMARIO: 1. La formazione dello Stato moldoveno. - 2. Il problema geopolitico della Transnistria. - 3. La forma di governo nella Costituzione del 1994. - 4. La forma di governo dopo la revisione costituzionale del 2000. - 5. Il sistema elettorale ed il sistema partitico. - 6. Il rapporto tra il Capo dello Stato ed i partiti. - 7. L’evoluzione della forma di governo moldovena: conclusioni. 1. La formazione dello Stato moldoveno La Repubblica di Moldova (Republica Moldova) (1) si è autoproclamata indipendente il 5 giugno 1990, mentre il 23 giugno successivo è seguita la formale Dichiarazione di sovranità con la contestuale denuncia del Patto Molotov-Ribbentrop del 1939 che sancì la sua assegnazione all’ex Unione Sovietica. Infine, il 27 agosto 1991 il processo si è completato con la Dichiarazione di indipendenza (2). Geograficamente questo nuovo Stato coincide solo con una parte della Moldavia storica e cioè la Bessarabia (3), che si estende all’incirca tra i fiumi Prut e Dnestr (Nistru), oltre ad una limitata striscia di territorio ad est del suddetto fiume che costituisce la regione della Transnistria, mentre la restante porzione ad occidente del Prut è parte integrante della Romania. Al fine di tracciare un breve profilo storico di questa regione possiamo ricordare che sin dal 1359 fu creato un Principato autonomo di Bessarabia nell’ambito dell’Impero Ottomano, di religione cristiano ortodossa e di lingua romena, il quale dal 1367 si unì con quello della Valacchia a sua volta già costituitosi nel 1330.

How can Argentina not be represented here?” Her delegation of 22 parishioners was among the more than 20,000 Ukrainian Catholic pilgrims from Ukraine, and throughout the world who converged on Kyiv during the weekend of August 17-18 to participate in the consecra- tion of the Patriarchal Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ. They’ve been supporting the cathedral’s construc- tion for the last 11 years with their prayers and tithes. The blessing of the Patriarchal Cathedral was per- formed by Patriarch Sviatoslav, together with members of the Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, Apostolic Nuncio to Ukraine Thomas Edward Zenon Zawada Gullickson and Roman Catholic bishops.

  • Czech National Identity After the Break-Up of Czechoslovakia and Before Accession to the European Unionn
    Nations and Nationalism 15 (2), 2009, 254–279. Identity of non-self-evident nation: Czech national identity after the break-up of Czechoslovakia and before accession to the European Unionn KLA´RA VLACHOVA´AND BLANKA RˇEHA´KOVA´ Institute of Sociology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Czech Republic ABSTRACT. In this study the authors analyse Czech national identity after the break-up of Czechoslovakia and before accession to the European Union. National identity is understood here as a construct consisting of several elements, four of which the authors analyse: territorial identity (localism, regionalism, patriotism, and Eur- opeanism), the image of the nation – the cultural nation (ethno-nation) and the political nation (state-nation), national pride (in general, and in cultural performance and in the performance of the state), and love for the nation – nationalism (or more precisely, chauvinism) and patriotism. To create a more complex picture of Czech national identity the authors compare it with national identities in eleven other European countries. To conclude, the authors analyse the attitudes of Czechs toward the European Union, and national identity is used as an important explanatory element of the support for EU governance. KEY WORDS: Czech Republic; European Union; ISSP; national identity; national pride. In today’s world, where the nation-state is the basic cultural and political unit in which people live their lives, national identity is one of the most important types of group identity. National identity defines who we are – culturally and politically – and it is constructed in contrast to those whom we perceive as the others – the cultural and political entities to which we do not belong.

  • Experience and Perspectives of International Cooperation and Environmental Protection
    2498-5473 / USD 20.00 HUNGARIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL STUDIES 60, No 2, pp. 185–208 (2019) © 2019 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest DOI: 10.1556/2052.2019.00012 Chernobyl − Experience and Perspectives of International Cooperation and Environmental Protection GIANFRANCO TAMBURELLI* TETIANA OLEXANDRIVNA KOVALENKO** Abstract. The article analyses various stages of the subsequent development of the international cooperation and of Ukrainian legislation aimed at facing the consequences of the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear power plant, on April 26, 1986. It is aimed to assess the impact of Chernobyl accident on law and policies in the field of environmental protection. The reaction to the Chernobyl accident gave in fact a boost to the evolution of international treaty law in various sectors (nuclear safety, emergency preparedness and response, environmental law) and, according to the Authors, contributed to the assertion in general international law of the right to environmental information. More than a thousand legal acts have been adopted in the Ukraine aimed at determining the safe management of the territories affected by Chernobyl accident. Notwithstanding the resulting nuclear contamination from Chernobyl accident still is a priority environmental problem. In this context, the Authors highlight the exceptional interest of the prospect opened by the Presidential Decrees of 2018 and 2019 on the rehabilitation of the territories affected by radioactive contamination. They represent a further important step towards the effective establishment of a biosphere reserve, in the perspective of the creation of a transboundary protected area with Belarus. Keywords: Chernobyl accident, international law, nuclear energy, environmental law, Chernobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve. 1. INTRODUCTION The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, on April 26, 1986, was a planetary scale disaster and still has significant negative consequences, in particular for Belarus, in the Russian Federation and in Ukraine.
