European-Russian Energy Relations: from Dependence to Interdependence
Due to the exploitation of international reservoirs, natural energy sources have become rare, disputed among States and therefore strategic. The reliance on these resources is linked to energy security and dependence in both terms of energy imports or exports. Furthermore, the access and reallocation of energy flows entail an alteration of the balance of power among States as well as the raise of national energy security strategies and debates. The aim of this volume is to analyze the evolution of energy relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation from a state of pure Dependence to the establishment of a balanced Interdependence, underling also the challenges facing the EU in terms of dependence and diversifications in the framework or the EU-Russian energy cooperation.
Ethnic Domination in Deeply Divided Places
This volume examines the concept of ethnic domination and its manifestations in Israel (within the Green Line) and Estonia. Ethnic domination is a method of managing ethnic differences in multiethnic contexts through asymmetrical power relations, in accordance with an ethnonationalist ideology, whereby a group is subordinated to another holding the power, albeit not intent to directly eliminate the subaltern. The volume compares the predicament of Israeli Palestinian citizens and Estonian Russian-speakers in different dimensions (state-citizenship, government-parliament, parties). Also, the analysis explains the divergent trajectories of the cases: the tightening of the condition of Israeli Palestinian citizens and the democratization of ethnic politics in Estonia.
La traiettoria storica dell’Etiopia di Meles Zenawi
Il volume presenta un inquadramento storico dell’Etiopia contemporanea. Particolare attenzione è data alle dinamiche economico-politiche dal cambio di regime nel 1991 alla morte dello storico leader del TPLF Meles Zenawi nel 2012. Attraverso un’analisi nell’ottica braudeliana della lunga durata, si esamina l’Impero Etiopico sotto Haile Selassie, la Rivoluzione Etiopica del 1974, che portò al governo la giunta militare di stampo sovietico del Derg e la guerra civile che ne scaturì con il movimento guerrigliero maoista del TPLF. Inoltre, si delinea il regime del TPLF mediante un esame dei suoi tre concetti portanti – democrazia rivoluzionaria, federalismo etnico e stato sviluppista – e delle tre teorie che lo definiscono – neo-patrimonialismo, capitalismo avanguardista e mercato politico.
The Lay Preacher
Il volume si propone di indagare la figura politica di Tony Blair, cercando di individuare gli elementi di continuità e di rottura tra la politica blairiana, la cultura e la storia del Labour Party e l’eredità politica di Margaret Thatcher. Sono presi in esame diversi aspetti del premier britannico: la biografia, l’ascesa nel partito, le idee politiche, lo stile comunicativo e le scelte compiute una volta al potere, sia in politica interna sia in politica estera, soprattutto nel rapporto con gli Stati Uniti e l’Unione Europea. In particolare, il volume si concentra sui primi sei anni dei Governi New Labour: dalla landslide victory del 1997 alla dichiarazione di guerra all’Iraq nel 2003, spartiacque decisivo nella carriera e nella legacy di Blair.

After the Nation-state
Traces the genesis of the nation-state, its rise as a form of organization and its expansion from Europe to America, Asia and Africa. Drawing on historical, economic and political analysis of the nation-state and its enemies, the authors argue that the time has come for a reappraisal of its role.
EU-Russia Energy Relations
This book explores the timely topic of energy security and international relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation. Pursuing a constructivist-discursive approach, it empirically analyses a corpus of energy discourses involving policymakers and representatives of the EU and the Russian Federation. Exploring various discursive meanings assigned to the material and technical character of EU-Russian energy relations, the monograph underscores how the identities and interests of both parties are strongly affected by the norms and values which frame the individual energy discourses.
