| Summary/Abstract |
Considering the development of the Bulgarian energy security strategy this article analyses how the country has adapted to EU membership and to energy security challenges, such as disruptions to Russian gas supplies in 2006 and 2009 and rising gas prices. Utilising a conceptual lens which synthesises Regional Security Complex Theory and Europeanisation, the article offers an explanation of energy policy changes. It concludes that conceptions of Russia as an energy security guarantor have changed since Bulgaria's EU accession and that Bulgarian energy policy has undergone a qualified reorientation away from a positive dependence on Russian energy sources, towards a convergence with EU priorities of diversification and a single energy market.

| Summary/Abstract |
Russian scholars have presented a comprehensive picture of the history of Chinese in Russia from the mid-19th century to our days. The study of the modern Chinese migration has been carried on in such important fields as the economic activity of Chinese migrants, the problems of "Chinese demographic expansion," adaptation and tolerance, and educational migration. An increase of the volume of low-skilled Chinese labor in Russia on a temporary basis is predicted.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article considers the main trends and features of Chinese studies in India for the first time in Russia's scientific literature. The author provides reasons for the high level of activity among Indian Sinologists, describes the leading centers of Chinese studies in India, and analyzes the main forms of such studies. They include regular weekly seminars, lectures by foreign Sinologists, annual nationwide conferences, and special forums on China supported by the K. Adenauer Foundation. This article considers the topics of analyses and occasional reports published in the journal China Report and describes the most important Indian monographs on China published in recent years. The author analyzes works by Srikanth Kondapalli, a leading Indian Sinologist, as a concrete example, along with his approach to Indian-Chinese relations. This article shows the meager attention Indian researchers give to Russian-Chinese relations.

| Summary/Abstract |
The fight against political, especially government, corruption has dominated Romanian political discourse for many years. However, the vast majority of the political elite have continuously opposed the prosecution and conviction of defendants of corruption crimes. After a long constitutional conflict that seriously inhibited the fight against government corruption between 2006 and 2009, law enforcement agencies finally began to experience some success. Nevertheless, the extent of government corruption has remained consistently high. This article analyses the struggles that have occurred between 2004 and 2013 in the fight against government corruption in Romania and particularly examines the interplay between formal and informal factors in this field.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article studies public welfare preferences in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Generalised ordered logistic regression models and predicted probabilities are employed to analyse comparable attitudinal survey data. The results vary considerably among the countries, but age is the most important covariate of welfare preferences, followed by individuals' socio-economic characteristics. The findings also indicate that popular perceptions of transition, notably in Ukraine and Moldova, are most strongly linked to preferences concerning the state's involvement in reducing the gap between the rich and the poor rather than to preferences regarding the main welfare state programmes such as pensions and healthcare.
