This article is intended to contribute to the development of a framework to analyse the international role of the European Union (EU). The article offers a framework to chart the network of relations that the EU has cultivated with nation‐states and regional groupings in the international system, discern differences in the extent or the depth of these relationships and analyse the manner in which

Europe's relationships with the rest of the world have been, and will be, of crucial importance to understanding the changing nature of global politics and Europe's place on a globalisaing planet. In this chapter we will attempt to explore and explain these relationships froma variety of viewpoints as we consider the links between Europe and the world from fifteenth-century sea travel to twenty-fi

This comparative analysis of the foreign policies of European Union member states includes comprehensive coverage of the post-Maastricht period and the three newest members of the EU. In the only comparative study of its kind since 1976, the book analyzes the dual impact of the Maastricht Treaty on the European Union, and the post-Cold War environment on the foreign policy processes of the EU’s me

How best to understand the responses of the European Community's member states to the new conditions prevailing in Europe at the end of the Cold War?The book claims that the beliefs behind symbolic agreements provide a greater understanding of European integration than a focus on the material motivations of agreements of substance. It breaks new ground by arguing that intergovernmental cooperation

The preamble to the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the EU and Moldova appears to acknowledge implicitly that the latter party has significant problems in maintaining its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which might threaten European peace and stability. These problems, combined with Moldova's small size, economic underdevelopment and geographical distance from we

This book presents a fresh examination of the values and principles that inform EU foreign policy, exploring the implications of these values and principles on the construction of European Union identity today.The authors show how current debates on European Union foreign policy and on European identity tend to be kept separated, as if the process of identity formation had only an internal dimensi

Twenty years ago, in the pages of the, Journal of Common Market Studies, Hedley Bull launched a searing critique of the European Community’s ‘civilian power’ in international affairs. Since that time the increasing role of the European Union (EU) in areas of security and defence policy has led to a seductiveness in adopting the notion of ‘military power Europe’. In contrast, I will attempt to argu

This is a radio program I did for Datscha radio's "Night Gardening" program, which is connected to my PhD work.

Alteration of natural disturbances in human-modified landscapes has resulted in many disturbance-dependent species becoming rare. Conservation of such species requires efforts to maintain or recreate disturbance regimes. We compared benefits of confining efforts to habitats in protected areas (a form of land sparing) versus integrating them with general management of production land (a form of lan

I was invited to make a program for cola bora dio about my work with this project by sound and radio artist Kate Donovan, on her regular program Elements, in 2019. This is a recording of the live broadcast of that program. Cola bora dio is a low-power FM and online broadcast based in Berlin, with re-broadcasts and collaborations with other small-scale independent radio stations and artists worldwi

DN DEBATT 3/1.Sverige har en ny bostadsminister, men mantrat är detsamma: Bostadsbristen ska byggas bort. Men så har det hetat sedan andra världskriget, ändå står mer än en miljon svenskar i bostadskö. Så länge hyrorna för attraktiva lägenheter hålls på låg nivå kommer bristen att bestå, skriver professor emeriti Roland Andersson och Lars Jonung.

The low-temperature combustion (LTC) is an attractive concept that enables the modem combustion engines to move toward sustainability mainly by increasing the efficiency and decreasing the emissions. The modern combustion engines which are working based on the LTC concept have specific fuel requirements. Fuel ϕ-sensitivity is a key factor to be considered for tailoring fuels for these engines. Fue

Xerostomi, är en kliniskdiagnos för muntorrhet. Muntorrheten kan uppkomma till följd av åldersförändringar, strålnings- och kemikalieexponering eller en inflammation i spottkörtlarna. Extracellulära vesiklar (EVs) är små vesiklar (i nanometerstorlek) vilka normalt används vid cellers kommunikation med varandra. EVs har visats ha positiv effekt i djurförsök vid skada eller sjukdom i tex lunga, hjärXerostomia (dry mouth symptoms) is a group of incurable debilitating conditions of salivary glands caused by aging, radiation/chemical exposure, or aberrant inflammation in the salivary glands. During this PhD thesis, we aimed to evaluate whether cell-derived strategies (e.g., extracellular vesicles, EVs) could be a potential new therapy to ameliorate salivary gland injury and restore function aft

Context: Effective industry-academia collaboration may increase software engineering research relevance by increased realism, yet very challenging for reasons like confidentiality concerns, different objectives and priorities. Objective: We analyse industry-academia collaboration scenarios based on our own experiences as Ph.D. student and supervisor, and provide insights and recommendations to fac

En del av de personer som fått avslag på sin ansökan om asyl kan inte återvända. Med hårdare regler som nu föreslås, riskerar Sverige och Europa få en grupp papperslösa som hamnar i en helt utblottad situation utan några möjligheter till en framtid. Det skriver professor Anna Lundberg, tidigare särskild utredare för regeringen.

The World Energy Council ranks the Danish energy system among best in the world judging by the energy trilemma criteria: energy security, energy equity, and sustainability. District heating (DH) and CHPs are pivotal for this ranking. This brief historical account illustrates how a mix of historical events, collective societal experiences, cultural and political values inform the Danish history of

Sedan Polismyndigheten 2015 publicerade den första listan över socialt utsatta områden i svenska städer har problematiken där fått mycket uppmärksamhet i den politiska samhällsdebatten, i media och i forskning. På kommunal och nationell nivå diskuteras orsaker och möjliga lösningar rörande dåliga levnadsförhållanden, parallella maktstrukturer, kriminalitet och utanförskap. I fokus för diskussioner
