Balkanization of ottoman rule: premodern origins of the modern international system in southeastern Europe / Hoffmann, Clemens   Journal Article
Hoffmann, Clemens Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract The term `Balkanization' has found entry in the social sciences vocabulary as a metaphor for diversity at best, social and political instability for the most part, and genocidal war at worst. And yet it is precisely the emergence of a variety of national states and the Ottoman Empire's disintegration that are frequently portrayed as processes of `modernizing' as well as `naturalizing' the international system of the Balkans and the Middle East. By offering a historical sociological re-construction of early modern Ottoman history up to the Greek Revolt in 1821, I argue in this article that the national secessions were not synonymous with the creation of a `modern' international system in southeastern Europe

From pulp to fiction: fray bentos pulp investment conflict through the finnish media / Pakkasvirta, Jussi   Journal Article
Pakkasvirta, Jussi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract The pulp mill conflict between Argentina and Uruguay is a topical environmental local-global dispute including various time-space levels (local-regional-national-global). It is also a politico-economic battle among business, civil society and governments in the two South American countries. This article highlights the widely analysed Argentine and Uruguayan perspectives, but it also brings to the fore the Finnish case (of mass media, the global Finnish paper industry, Finnish NGOs and the government). The article seeks to come to an understanding of the characteristics of the conflict as portrayed by the media in Finland and, critically, to examine the effects of the stereotypical Finnish image - `iconic model' - on Argentina and Uruguay.

Talking Europe: the dilemma of sovereignty and modernization / Braun, Mats   Journal Article
Braun, Mats Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract There is a significant amount of scholarly literature produced on the topic of the alleged legitimacy deficit of the European Union (EU). This article is based on the assumption that the legitimacy of the EU is shaped largely by the domestic discourses on European governance. Therefore the stories of the individual countries are crucial for our understanding of EU legitimacy as a whole. The article is an analysis of how the legitimacy of the EU is constructed and shaped in the Czech and Swedish political discourses.
