Zuzana Majbová . 107 NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS . 111 PERSPECTIVES 26/2006 Perspectives The Central European Review of International Affairs CALL FOR PAPERS/NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS Perspectives is a refereed Journal published twice a year by the Institute of In- ternational Relations, Prague, Czech Republic. At the present time, it is estab- lished as one of the leading journals in Central and Eastern Europe, dealing with a range of issues from international relations theory to contemporary internation- al politics, and regional and global issues that affect international relations. Per- spectives invites papers and enquiries from interested scholars. Guidelines for Authors The aim of Perspectives is to produce an eclectic mix of articles dealing with various areas of international relations and regional studies. These may include articles on recent history, specialised articles on some legal or political area which affects international affairs, or articles that capture some issue which, while seen from a national perspective, is at the same time of importance at a regional or international level. While there will naturally be some bias towards the Central and East European region, the same principles will also apply to articles from other parts of the world. The journal publishes three types of articles (Research Articles, Discussions and Consultations), Book Reviews and Review Essays. Research Articles are full- length papers (between 6,000 and 10,000 words, including endnotes and references) that contain an original contribution to research. Discussions are topical commentaries or essays (between 6,000 and 8,000 words, including endnotes and references) with the aim to provoke scholarly debates. Consultations are full-length papers (between 6,000 and 8,000 words, including endnotes and references) of descriptive character that bring information on topical international developments or present results of recent empirical research. Each article should be accompanied by a one-paragraph abstract. Book Reviews should not exceed 2,000 words and Review Essays should be 3,500 words maximum, including endnotes and references. All submissions should be made in electronic form, unless this is impossible for some practical reason. Notes should by numbered consecutively through the article with a raised numeral corresponding to the list of notes placed at the end. A list of References should appear after the list of Notes containing all the works referred to, listed alphabetically by author’s surname (or name of sponsoring body if there is no identifiable author). References to literature in the text should be made by giving author’s name and year of publication, both in parentheses, e.g. (Wendt, 1999).

AXELROD Abstract: Nuclear energy has received increased attention in the European Union (EU) as a source of energy with the enlargement of 10 members many with Soviet designed nu- clear power plants. It has been discussed as an alternative to fossil fuel plants as a strate- gy to meet Kyoto Protocol goals, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However nuclear se- curity and safety issues are major concerns. The European Union Commission introduced legislation harmonizing existing safety standards for all Member States. However, a con- flict emerged between the Commission and Member States as to whether the EU should expand its legal authority

MA Thesis Supervisors: Prof. Klaus Segbers; Prof. Vello Pettai Berlin 2018 Abstract A large body of literature finds a negative relationship between oil abundance and different governance indicators in developing countries. Still, there is a substantial variation among them in terms of quality of governance (QoG). Why do even similar oil-rich countries differ in QoG? This master thesis investigates that puzzle, taking three oil rich post-soviet states - Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan during 1996-2014- as examples. Relying on the literature on the rentier state theory, fiscal sociology paradigm and ownership structure theory, this study finds that the difference can be explained by the chosen ownership structure of natural resources. Not aimed at generalizing the findings, this study shows that the more substantial role private companies have in the oil industry the better is the QoG. Key words: QoG, post-soviet states, ownership structure Table of contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………... 1 1. The Main Concept………………………………………………………………………. 5 1.1. The Quality of Governance: What Does It Suggest?..................................................... 5 2.

The nearer the war, the less peaceniks? 24 2.6 Are we willing and able, can we afford to wage war? If the (post-)modern Western societies can only accept violence without victims, will they lose any campaign? 25 2.7 Do the last weeks show that military power is (still) relevant? Or rather on the contrary? 27 2.8 Does this conflict give our colleagues Macchiavelli, Huntington and Gellner new legitimisation? 30 2.9 Is this, after all, the revanche of the Modern against postmodernism? 31 2.10 What do we learn about sovereignty after the crisis? Do only ‘good’ states or great powers have a right to be sovereign? 34 2.11 Does anyone see on the Balkans elements of a new world order and what are the implications for the role of the United Nations (UN)? 36 2.12 Adhocism, virtual politics and missing agendas.
