    168 25 168 Spurred by ongoing conflicts between city-states and the nobility, unification for Italy was a gradual and difficult process. While such divisions shortly subsided to allow the peninsula to become unified, Italy has always been troubled by the difficulties of cultivating a national identity. Identity Crisis Throughout the past and in the present, Italy has been a nation of division. But recently this division has become deeper because of the growing differences between the various parts of the country caused by ITALY IN DENTITY CRISIS unresolved political, institutional, economic and secu- rity problems. The need for academic discourse on the in Italy division encouraged scholars to cooperate and identify the most important causes and elements of the Ital- ian identity crisis such as the political crisis caused by feelings of lack, instability or injustice, the economic 238 and financial crises leading to the erosion of social cohesion and the insecurity linked to immigration.

  • Media-Watch-Report-72-English.Pdf
    1 Preamble: Freedom of expression is considered one of the basic elements of democracy and World Press Freedom Day is marked every year all over the world. This is true in Afghanistan, where journalists have been celebrating this day ever since the collapse of the Taliban regime. In Afghanistan this year, World Press Freedom Day was marked amid a climate of continuing violence, where journalists and media houses continue to encounter serious challenges. Tens of journalists have lost their lives and hundreds of others are threatened with physical violence and short and long term detainment. Physical violence is not the only problem journalists face. Some of the powerful government officials see media as a direct threat to their power, and put obstacles in their way and impose limitations on them. The most recent example of such limitation comes from the Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs which is intending to establish a unit by the name of “Promotion of Virtue”, a unit intended to pressure the media and journalists. Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs argues that the mentioned branch will be established in order to regulate media related affairs and prevent programs that the Ministry calls ‘unethical’. But it is crystal clear that the Afghan government is not seeking to regulate media; rather, it is seeking to limit their scope. Although last year saw a 30% drop in the rate of violence against journalists and media, the incidents over the last three months obscured the optimism that last year inspired. In addition to the volatile provinces, even in stable provinces local authorities and influential figures can cause media and journalists trouble.

  • Media-Watch-English-Report-68.Pdf
    1 Preamble: The early days of 2011 have seen instances of violence against journalists in Afghanistan. These come at a time when statistics on violations against journalists in 2010 showed a considerable drop compared with 2009. However, this was not because the Afghan government acted to reduce violence against journalists; rather, Afghan journalists themselves have taken preventative action to avoid being exposed to violence. The downside has been increased self-censorship among journalists, which leads to a situation where the public remains uniformed about some events. Censorship and self-censorship is a disaster for journalism. Journalists avoid challenges and dangers when security authorities fail to provide the safety in which they can go about their work properly without compromising their personal security. Recent statistics revealing a lack of awareness by government officials about the nature of journalists’ work is one of the biggest challenges to their work. In fact, security forces and government officials account for a large number of cases of mistreatment and assault on journalists during 2010 and early 2011. Ten years after the overthrow of the Taliban and the establishment of the current system, freedom of expression is still not institutionalized and the people’s right to information is still being violated. While it is the responsibility of the Afghan government to ensure the right of the public to express their opinions without fear, it does not take adequate measures to ensure freedom of expression. Sometimes it even violates this important right. Despite all the challenges ahead for freedom of expression in Afghanistan, it does does exist in a very fragile, unstable and immature state.

  • The Populist Challenges to the EU Foreign and Security Policy Towards Egypt and Tunisia: a Case of De-Europeanisation?
    The populist challenges to the EU foreign and security policy towards Egypt and Tunisia: A case of de-Europeanisation? Adrià Rivera Escartinab Abstract At a time when populism conquers political agendas in the European Union (EU) and elsewhere, it is pertinent to scrutinize which are the policy implications of such a surge for the EU, not only intra-institutionally, but also for its foreign and security policy in third country contexts. Populist parties in government, such as for example the Lega or Fidesz have a declared interest in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in Northern Africa. Their main focus centre around the importance they give to migration control, border management and the security sector in these countries. It is thus relevant to investigate to what extent populism is shaping the thinking about the ENP as it is evolving from a normative-based towards a much more “interest-based” policy. This paper will examine the implications of populist pressure on the ENP in third country contexts, using Tunisia and Egypt for in-depth case studies. In the case of Tunisia, Italian demands for more Tunisian efforts on border management have exacerbated inconsistencies in EU-Tunisia liberalization efforts. The case of Egypt has been one of parallel and separate discussions of the European Council/EU Presidency and of the Visegrad group headed by Hungary on matters relating to regional security as well as migration. The ENP’s coherence and effectiveness has suffered as a consequence. The paper also aims to contribute conceptually to current debates on de-Europeanisation or not of the EU foreign and security policy.
