    Blick licht 9 - 11 KULTURMAGAZIN COTTBUS-LAUSITZ-KOSTENLOS BLICKLICHT September2011 Editorial Noch immer ist unklar, wie es mit dem Muggefug weitergeht. Das wird sich erst im Sep- tember entscheiden – und es kann sein, dass der Verein dann erst einmal keinen festen Veranstaltungsort hat – wer mag sollte da also noch einmal vorbeischauen – am Dienstag zur Jamsession oder am Donnerstag zu Grill+Chill oder zu den vielen anderen Veranstal- tungen. Im Mittelteil dieser Blicklicht-Ausgabe haben wir für Euch Texte und Bilder aus der über 17jährigen Geschichte zusammengetragen – die dürft ihr – ausnahmsweise – auch rausrei- ßen und aufheben... Unterstützt hat uns bei dem Projekt im Übrigen der StuRa der BTU. Leider ist uns gerade das Lastendreirad „Rocinante“ der Redaktion geklaut worden. Auf der letzten Seite hinten findet ihr ein Bild. Für uns hängen da viele Erinnerungen dran und mit diesem Rad ist die Blicklicht auch immer – fast pünktlich – zu Euch gekommen – um- weltfreundlich und nur von Roberts Muskelkraft betrieben. Deshalb gibt es neben Freibier im quasiMONO auch einen Finderlohn, wenn das Rad wieder auftaucht. Rocinante – wir finden dich! Und die Diebe kriegen wir...hähä. Cover: AngelikaJaunich-„Café“ Na und sonst ist auch nicht viel los in Cottbus – so ist der Sommer hier eben. An der Uni Ausstellungseröffnung: 10.09., 20 Uhr in der Galerie Fango werden immer noch die „Urban Creative Poles“ in Cottbus gesucht und es wird diskutiert, ob es ein richtiges oder virtuelles Kreativzentrum in Cottbus geben könnte. Das Klimacamp in Jänschwalde war ganz erfolgreich und die CO2-Endlagerung soll es in Brandenburg, zumindest vorerst, nicht geben. Und wer abends durch die Stadt streunert scheint irgendwann auch vor oder im Seiten- sprung zu landen.

  • Revanchist Russia? Russian Perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian Sovereignty, 1990-2008
    1 Revanchist Russia? Russian Perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian Sovereignty, 1990-2008 Rasmus Nilsson UCL For the degree of PhD 2 I, Rasmus Nilsson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract The theme of this thesis concerns post-Soviet Russian foreign policy perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty between 1990 and 2008. In the thesis I argue that Russian perceptions became increasingly revanchist in nature during this period, and that we may distinguish between two different types of revanchism, the consequences of which for Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty are quite different. I argue that all Russian perceptions of international affairs are constituted by perceptions of Russia. Thus, perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty may be divided into three categories, or paradigms, each of which centres on a specific concept that legitimises the existence of Russia, and determines how Belarus and Ukraine are viewed. The three central concepts are the concepts of Law, Power, and Nation, respectively. In the introduction, I outline these paradigms, both in abstract terms and in relation to Russian foreign policy in general, as well as Russian foreign policy towards Belarus and Ukraine. Subsequently, I present my methodology and my literature review, together with a discussion of the theoretical assumptions, which provide the foundation for my argument. Then, I briefly outline Russian foreign policy making during the period relevant for my thesis, before the four main chapters of my thesis outline in roughly chronological fashion how the relative significance of the three paradigms has changed over time.
