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.
The Offer

Male Survivors of Wartime Sexual Violence
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Although wartime sexual violence against men occurs more frequently than is commonly assumed, its dynamics are remarkably underexplored, and male survivors’ experiences remain particularly overlooked. This reality is poignant in northern Uganda, where sexual violence against men during the early stages of the conflict was geographically widespread, yet now accounts of those incidents are not just silenced and neglected locally but also widely absent from analyses of the war. Based on rare empirical data, this book seeks to remedy this marginalization and to illuminate the seldom-heard voices of male sexual violence survivors in northern Uganda, bringing to light their experiences of gendered harms, agency, and justice.
E-Learning in the Workplace
This book analyzes the nature and requirements of workplace e-learning based on relevant theories such as adult learning, community of practice, organizational learning, and the systems thinking. By integrating considerations on organization, pedagogy and technology, a performance-oriented e-learning framework is then presented, where performance measurement is used to: 1) clarify and link organizational goals and individual learning needs, 2) direct learning towards work performance; and 3) support social communication and knowledge sharing and management in the workplace. E-learning and related emerging technologies have been increasingly used by organizations to enhance the skills and per...
