When can International Oil Companies enter the upstream industry of producing states and under what conditions? The diversity of policy choices across producers provides the stage for this investigation: different theoretical explanations are confronted, with the empirical evidence, with the aim of finally proposing an interdisciplinary fra...

The United Arab Emirates
Led by Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the UAE has become deeply embedded in the contemporary system of international power, politics, and policy-making. Only an independent state since 1971, the seven emirates that constitute the UAE represent not only the most successful Arab federal experiment but also the most durable. However, the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath underscored the continuing imbalance between Abu Dhabi and Dubai and the five northern emirates. Meanwhile, the post-2011 security crackdown revealed the acute sensitivity of officials in Abu Dhabi to social inequalities and economic disparities across the federation. The United Arab Emirates: Power, Politics, and Policymaking char...
Strategic Culture, Securitisation and the Use of Force

Issue
Ci sono luoghi a cui non si può sfuggire. Red Oak Manor è uno di quelli. Israel Silver ha lasciato Red Oak Manor appena finito il liceo ed è tornato a casa sempre più raramente, troppo impegnato a inseguire il sogno di condividere la sua musica con il resto del mondo. La grande occasione arriva nove anni dopo il suo trasferimento: un’etichetta discografica gli offre un contratto per il suo prossimo disco e lo riporta a pochi chilometri dal luogo in cui è cresciuto. Virginie, invece, non è mai uscita da Red Oak Town. Ha diciott’anni, la passione per il disegno, un solo amico, molti dubbi e un’unica certezza: il suo cuore appartiene a Israel. Glielo ha lasciato nel momento stesso in cui è tornato a casa e non ha intenzione di richiederglielo indietro. Nemmeno se lui fa di tutto per tenerla a distanza. Perché Israel ha le idee chiare: Virginie è proibita, porta il suo stesso cognome. E lui non deve guardarla. Non deve desiderarla. Ma la guarda. La vede. E la desidera. Che cosa puoi fare quando tutto ciò che vuoi è a un passo, ma quel passo è sull’orlo di un precipizio?
