| Summary/Abstract |
This paper distinguishes and integrates national identity and national image through a deep role analysis. It argues that the meaning of China's rising rests upon the views of those who evaluate China's role playing. This role analysis mediates between international relations and Chinese foreign policy. It also mediates between China watchers and their China. The two dimensions of role-role taking and role making-generate four different discursive approaches to interpreting the rise of China, each in its own way associated with the affects of opportunity and threat. They are "nation state,""civilization,""Tianxia," and "Asianism." In response to the external view on the rise of China, Chinese narrators often take the Tianxia and nation state approaches as components of their conception of national role. These conceptions mediated by role-making and role-taking, evolve into four possible strategic focuses-national interests, imperialism, sovereignty and center-periphery. While this last strategic focus on role-taking has recently attracted enthusiastic response in China, it has been re-appropriated by social science concepts such as soft power and social capital that assume an egoistic role-making China is on the move.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article provides an overview of peacekeeping studies in the behavioural tradition, namely those driven by a theoretical orientation to explain causal relationships and ones in which those theoretical arguments are tested by reference to historical cases, often in a large-N and statistically dependent research design. Critiques of existing studies focus on how the importation of theoretical approaches and the availability of data have conditioned existing research. Several pathways for future research are outlined, including better theoretical development, broader and more varied indicators of peacekeeping success, greater attention to unintended consequences, adoption of spatial frameworks of analysis, and paying greater attention to non-UN operations.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE ISSUE OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS HIGH ON THE POLICY agenda in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Indeed, for a variety of reasons, these countries are currently seen as some of the most interesting 'laboratories' for regional development in the European Union (EU) and beyond. First, from a situation in the early and mid-1990s where ?nances for regional development in these countries were very limited, there are now signi?cant levels of funding available. These ?nances ?ow predominantly from the structural funds available under EU cohesion policy, of which CEE member states are the biggest bene?ciaries in the EU. As the contribution by Ferry and McMaster notes, this brings with it opportunities to expand the scope and impact of regional development interventions. However, it also puts pressure on regional policy systems in these countries to develop structures and processes to absorb the funds, to ensure that they contribute to strategic economic growth, and to maintain a clear vision for domestic regional development.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since the 1990s, China has formalized its short-term foreign aid training for foreign officials and technological personnel. This type of training often lasts for 21 days and participants from invited countries arrive in China for a period of condensed study, with all fees covered by the Chinese government. By the end of 2009, China had organized more than 4000 short-term training programs for over 120,000 personnel from more than 50 countries. Along with the establishment of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan and the constructional needs of the Belt and Road Initiative, China has gradually increased the export of its cultural products in foreign aid training. Surprisingly, such national-scale training is largely omitted from current scholarly research. Employing the “fragmented authoritarianism” model, we look at the administrative structure of China’s foreign aid training and provide rudimentary research into the field.

| Summary/Abstract |
The 'war on terror' has become the grammar of contemporary international relations. Analysis of the 'war on terror' has become overdetermined by broader discussion about the utility of organized violence following the end of the Cold War. This focus has led to a perception that the link between war and politics has been fundamentally weakened, if not entirely severed. This article argues that the 'de-politicization' of war thesis gets in the way of a more fruitful understanding of the relationship between international order and the occurrence and conduct of warfare. Paradoxically, policy that may stem from an analysis that depoliticizes armed conflict makes it more difficult to imagine the possibility of peace. Colonial-type wars are one instance of armed conflict which is asymmetrically depoliticized. The attempt to fit the 'war on terror' into a colonial war-shaped hole is unsustainable. Colonial warfare cannot provide solutions to postcolonial military challenges. This article argues for an understanding of the 'war on terror' as postcolonial war in which the political is very much present.

| Summary/Abstract |
Competition to gain allies and regain one`s status quo in the new international milieu became the norm for many countries in the post bipolar world. The Middle East was no exception for geopolitical competition among influential actors as oil, trade routes and geographical location paved the way for countries trying to regain or preserve their hegemony in the region. Hence, the end of the Cold War phase and the coming of a new world order led many regional players to pursue their national interests in the region which includes Russia and Turkey.
In the playoff among countries in the Middle East, a prerequisite is effectively understanding the factors that motivate Russia`s and Turkey`s foreign policy behavior in the Middle East which is an influential player in the region due to its geographical location and historical linkages. It has become a contested zone for Russia and Turkey even as the US, China and Europe have begun significant roles in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article proposes a framework for empirical research on contested meaning of norms in international politics. The goal is to identify a design for empirical research to examine associative connotations of norms that come to the fore when norms are contested in situations of governance beyond-the-state and especially in crises. If cultural practices shape experience and expectations, they need to be identified and made 'account-able' based on empirical research. To that end, the proposed qualitative approach centres on individually enacted meaning-in-use. The framework comprises norm-types, conditions of contestation, types of divergence and opposition-deriving as a specific interview evaluation technique. Section one situates the problem of contestation in the field of constructivist research on norms. Section two introduces distinctive conditions of contestation and types of norms. Section three details the methodology of conducting and evaluating interviews and presents the technique of opposition-deriving with a view to reconstructing the structure of meaning-in-use. Section four concludes with an outlook to follow-up research.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article introduces Adriana Cavarero's concept of “horrorism” into International Relations (IR) discussions of the relationship between war and citizenship. Horrorism refers to a violent violation of vulnerable humans who are defined by their simultaneous openness to the other's care and harm. With its motif of physical and ontological denigration, horrorism offends the human condition by making its victims gaze upon and/or experience repugnant violence and bodily disfiguration precisely when the vulnerable are most in need of care. The article argues that horrorism complicates disciplinary understandings of contemporary violence which tend to see terrorism, but not horrorism, in war and which generally neglect to theorize how violence—and particularly horrorism—is embedded in, and exchanged, through state/citizen relationships. To elaborate these arguments, the article analyses three pieces of war art: Jeremy Deller's “Baghdad, 5 March 2007,” Donald Gray's mural, “Operation Iraqi Freedom,” and a still image from Cynthia Weber's film, “Guadalupe Denogean: ‘I am an American.’” By taking the War on Terrorism as their subject, these pieces demonstrate how war makes visible the terror and horror in state/citizen relationships. The article concludes by reconsidering how encountering signs of horrorism might broaden our frames of war and further our empathic vision toward the precarious victims of horrorism or, alternatively, might confirm the patriotic allegiances of imperial citizens in ways that further bind their citizenship to state political and economic violence and narrow the scope for genuine empathy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The disintegration of USSR was an important incident in international politics; it changed the structure of international relations in the 1990s. This dramatic event also changed the scenario of the international politics at the global level. It was this event that ended the system of Cold War military blocs and the bipolar world order in international relations, which had created rivalry and competition between the two blocs. After that, the former USSR’s allies, especially the Third World countries, reoriented their policies to suit the Western model of globalization led by the US.

| Summary/Abstract |
The goal of this Special Issue is to improve our conceptualisation and empirical understanding of EU actorness and effectiveness in International Relations. While the European Union aspires to play a greater global role, its actorness and effectiveness cannot be taken for granted given the nature of the EU as a multi-level and semi-supranational polity encompassing 28 Member States with diverse foreign policy preferences. The EU is presently at an important crossroad. On the one hand, its external policy stature and capacity have been boosted by institutional innovations and by the Union's increased involvement in the full spectrum of international issues. On the other hand, a number of factors cast doubt on the EU's real external policy actorness and effectiveness: slow and often only modest internal reforms, an increasing politicisation of formally 'low politics' issues, the prolonged sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone, and a less favourable external environment, with the US shifting its focus to the Asia-Pacific region and emerging powers creating a more polycentric world order. In view of these changes and subsequent developments in the scholarly literature, our aim is to re-evaluate earlier conceptions of EU actorness. Central to this re-evaluation will be a shift in focus from notions of actorness to effectiveness. This introductory article will unpack and further elaborate the issues raised in this abstract by delineating the EU as an international actor in the empirical context, by reviewing the existing conceptual literature, defining and conceptualizing key notions and by providing an overview of the contributions to this Special Issue.
