73.2427 AKIMOV, Alexander — The Far Eastern Center of the global
economy. International Affairs (A Russian Journal of World
Politics, Diplomacy and International Relations) 68(4), 2022 :
34-45.
Statistics show that the Far eastern Economic Center is a global economic
center comparable to the West that is exerting a major influence on "Glob-
alization 2.0. [R]
73.2428 BAUEROVÁ, Helena — Enlargement policy and the West-
ern Balkans — The role of the Czech Republic and the EU
in the context of the new enlargement methodology. Me-
dunarodni Problemi (International Problems) 74(3), 2022 :
367-390.
This article analyzes the role of the EU and the Czech Republic in the
Western Balkans in the context of enlargement policy, which has been
revised through the new methodology. The research is based on a case
study convering a defined period of time. The research premise states that
the role of the EU and the Czech republic in the Western Balkans is
shaped by internal and external influences, rather than the specific situa-
tion and challenges in the W estern Balkans region. The author finds that
both the EU and the Member States should have a stronger and more
dynamic role in the accession process of the candidate countries. [R] [See

73.2429 BOGAARDS, Matthijs — The European Union: consocia-
tional past, centripetal future? Representation 58(3), 2022 :
443-460.
Consociational interpretations of the EU are well established and help to
explain the political stability of the 27-member state system. In contrast,
the increasingly common centripetal elements have not yet received sys-
tematic attention. Using a framework originally designed to map the
choices for divided societies, this article highlights centripetalism in EU
party regulation and proposals for electoral reform. Going beyond the spa-
tial distribution requirements that play such a central role in aggregative
institutions in the EU, the article suggests that cross-national districts ra-
ther than a supra-national district provide the strongest incentive for Euro-
pean parties to organise EU-wide campaigns on European issues, fielding
candidates with cross-national appeal. [R, abr.] [See Abstr. 73.2364]
73.2430 BOJINOVIĆ FENKO, Ana ; KOČAN, Faris — Re-examination
of EU normative power in light of the revised enlargement
methodology towards the Western Balkans. Medunarodni
Problemi (International Problems) 74(3), 2022 : 411-432.
The aim of this article is to re-examine the concept of "EU normative
power" in the revised EU approach to enlargement policy announced in
2020. Drawing on conceptualization of power in Foreign Policy Analysis
the article applies the reading of the EU's soft and hard power — both as
capability and as influence — to EU normative power. To promote inter-
national normality, the EU needs to activate other elements of soft power
influence, namely agenda setting and persuasion. [R, abr.] [See Abstr.

73.2431 BRAìS BERNARDINO, Luìs Manuel — O paradigma do
flanco sul da nato e a relevância geoestrateìgica para Por-
tugal (NATO’s southern flank paradigm and the geostrate-
gic relevance to Portugal). Relações internacionais 72, Dec.
2021 : 43-62.
At a time when NATO is preparing to discuss and approve at the Madrid
Summit (2022) the new Strategic Concept, and in a very complex and un-
predictable global geopolitical and geostrategic framework, where cooper-
ative and collective security remains the instrument that makes the Alli-
ance work, it seems relevant to reflect on the role of the organization in
the world and especially on its southern flank. This reflection, focused es-
sentially on the strategic operational aspect, aims to point out crucial ele-
ments for the new Strategic Concept of the alliance and the impact for
Portugal. [R]
73.2432 BRANNON, Elizabeth L. — The appointment of men as rep-
resentatives to the United Nations Commission on the Sta-
tus of Women. Political Research Quarterly 75(4), Dec. 2022 :
1360-1373.
The UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) was one of the first
international bodies devoted to gender issues and has played a founda-
tional role in the promotion of gender equality globally. I explore represen-
tational patterns at the CSW and question when and why states choose to
send men representatives. Novel data shows that while the commission
was composed entirely of women representatives in its early decades,
men’s representation has steadily increased—reaching parity in 2000.
This paper argues that appointment choice can be explained by domestic
levels of women’s political empowerment. The empirical results demon-
strate a non-linear relationship between women’s political empowerment
and appointment. States with higher levels of women’s political empower-
ment are more likely to appoint women representatives, until a threshold.

73.2433 CHALLET, Celia ; GRUMAZ, Dorin-Ciprian — EU restrictive
measures and third countries’ evidence. European Foreign
Affairs Review 28(1), 2023 : 9-29.
EU restrictive measures, often referred to as ‘sanctions’, have become an
increasingly used instrument of EU autonomous foreign policy. For some
restrictive measures, however, the EU cannot act alone. In order to adopt
them, the Council must rely on information transmitted by third states’ au-
thorities and decisions taken by them at domestic level. This has been the
case, in particular, of EU restrictive measures adopted in connection with
misappropriations of state funds. The Council’s use of such evidence has
been somewhat controversial and has led to numerous legal debates be-
fore the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). To what extent
was the Council free to rely on the evidence provided by these third states’
authorities? How to ensure that the fundamental rights of the targeted per-
sons and entities were complied with in the process? [R, abr.]
73.2434 CHATZISTAVROU, Filippa — Greece’s accession in the
EEC: toward dependency and differentiation. Comparative
European Politics 20(6), Dec. 2022 : 749-769.
This paper sheds light on the economic conditions for joining the EEC aim-
ing at outlining the adaptation of Greece to common market doctrinal prin-
ciples and pervasive precepts. It argues that there was a comprehensive
neoliberal consensus to a fairly large extent among Greece’s ruling class
and European establishment that Greece’s integration should be based on
a strongly unequal supply-chain relationship. It further provides historical
and archival evidence about the formation of transnational ideational struc-
tures taking place over time and explain how intra-EU dependency be-
came an implicit guiding precept of enlargement governance toward the
South. In this perspective, the Greek case gives interesting elements about
the historical and intellectual development of the integration in the South
revealing how dependency and differentiation are strongly interrelated. [R,

73.2435 COSTELLO, Anthony — Meaningful, but effective? A criti-
cal evaluation of Ireland’s citizens’ dialogues on the future
of Europe. Politics 42(4), Nov. 2022 : 464-479.
On the 25 March 2017, leaders of the EU27 and EU institutions ratified the
Rome Declaration. They committed to invite citizens to discuss Europe’s
future and to provide recommendations that would facilitate their decision-
makers in shaping their national positions on Europe. In response, citizens’
dialogues on the future of Europe were instituted across the Union to facil-
itate public participation in shaping Europe. This paper explores Ireland’s
set of dialogues which took place during 2018. Although event organisers
in Ireland applied a relatively atypical and more systematic and participa-
tory approach to their dialogues, evidence suggests that Ireland’s dia-
logues were reminiscent of a public relations exercise which showcased
the country’s commitment to incorporating citizens into the debate on Eu-
rope while avoiding a deliberative design which could have strengthened
the quality of public discourse and the quality of public recommendations.
