TTHEHE MIRAGEMIRAGE OFOF THETHE SILKSILK ROADROAD „ASIA MATTERS – FOR EUROPE. AND EUROPE MATTERS – FOR ASIA” Joint declarati on of the former European Union leaders, Herman Van Rompuy and José Manuel Barroso 16 October 2014 Keywords: International system – diplomacy – foreign policy – China – European Union – USA – Russia – strategic partnership – European affairs – Eurasia – the Asia-Pacifi c area ► The world today is a mess, there is no doubt about it. But probably this is also how the contemporaries of other historical ti mes saw their present. We could rather say that the internati onal order is diffi cult to predict at the beginning of a century which is already dominated by very confusing moves and combinati ons. Using the author’s own means of research and observati on (fi eld research, the percepti on of reality from the perspecti ve of the study of history, and a compared dimension), this arti cle wishes to shed some light on a part of the role played by the European Union in the internati onal policy under the circumstances of the fast transformati ons suff ered by the global economic and security environment. The strategic relati on with China is worth discussing at several levels (depending on the various categories of interests); our considerati ons about the course of the strategic partnership between the two powers and about the current evoluti ons of the internati onal scene try to provide only some necessary benchmarks for an overall understanding of this diplomati c closeness.

  • Conference on Mega Sporting Events and Sustainability

    Conference on Mega Sporting Events and Sustainability

    Implemented by: Mega Sporting Events and Sustainability “Moving the Goal Posts” conference | 15 June 2014 | Salvador da Bahía, Brazil How mega sporting events can act as catalysts for sustainable development Sporting events like the World Cup as well as the Olympic and Paralympic Games generate excitement around the world. In addition to having appeal as competitions, they usually attract interest in the countries and people taking part. They also draw vast amounts of investment to the host countries in order to meet the comprehensive demands of governing bodies such as the Fédération Internationale de Football Asso­ ciation (FIFA), International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Stadiums are built, airports modernised and roads resurfaced. With the whole world watching, host nations have the chance to present a positive image of themselves to an international audience. A huge opportunity then? Not everyone thinks so, as was made clear by the protests in the context of mega sport­ ing events worldwide. Critics claim that the billions invested in infrastructure projects are sorely needed in other areas, such as the education system. Consequently, develop­ ing countries and emerging economies in particular are quickly faced with the question of whether these investments are truly worthwhile in the end. There is also the ques­ tion of what needs to be done to ensure that mega sporting events leave a legacy that benefits all population groups in the host country, and how this can be achieved in such a short space of time? Sustainable development is made up of the components of social, economic and envi­ ronmental sustainability, while the political dimension is also becoming increasingly important.

    Policy Statement by Achim Steiner UN Under Secretary General And

    Policy Statement By Achim Steiner UN Under Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director At the Opening of the First Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly of UNEP Nairobi, 23 June 2014 Your Excellency, the first President of United Nations Environment Assembly, Ms. Oyun Sanjaasuren, Minister of Environment and Green Development of Mongolia, I wish to congratulate you on your election. It was only 12 months ago when we were together in your beautiful country celebrating the World Environment Day and I believe that the world has witnessed you and your country’s contribution and leadership in this field of environmental governance. Let me also take this opportunity to extend my warm congratulations on the election of the rapporteur as well as the vice presidents, the members of the newly constituted UNEA bureau. On behalf of the secretariat, it will be a privilege to work with you in making this session and our work, in terms of what we have to take forward, a success. Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the inaugural meeting of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) of UNEP. I wish to remind ourselves of the context within which UNEA is convening today here in Nairobi. When the United Nations Organization, the very foundation of the United Nations, was founded many decades ago out of the disaster of the Second World War, those who were part of it, victims of it, or survived it made a commitment to the world that there should be a body in which everything is undertaken as humanly possible to prioritize and to work towards peace, security and economic development.
