Declarations of neutrality appear hard-won and far from pro-Russian, given the multiple dependencies of the Central Asian states on all-powerful Russia. http://dlvr.it/SMlR5x

The scholarship on the institutional abuse of children illustrates why the UN should more closely consider such cases to find better responses. http://dlvr.it/SMfkkz

Hilary Appel sets out why Ukraine is so important to Russia, the role of NATO and China in the conflict, as well as the impact of sanctions. http://dlvr.it/SMXW3s

Poverty and wealth are often found side by side. They are two dimensions in our world that are interrelated because they affect each other and influence both the willingness and capacity of states to ensure a stable global system. http://dlvr.it/SMX698

Terrorism and terrorists can be transnational in three ways: through their goals, their actions and their organisational form – each of which exposes the dark side of globalisation. http://dlvr.it/SMW2M0

International law is a system of norms, a social practice and a professional culture that remains open to change and contestation. It comprises learned techniques, traditions, institutions and ideologies that evolve. http://dlvr.it/SMTjhD

The presence of civil society organisations has become increasingly relevant within the global system, changing its nature due to their involvement and activism across a range of areas. http://dlvr.it/SMTSTq

People have always travelled from place to place and exchanged goods and cultural artefacts. What has changed, due to advances in technology and transportation, is the speed and intensity of this process. http://dlvr.it/SMTBzP

The ‘conquest’ and ‘discovery’ associated with 1492 might contain deeper-determining norms and practices than those of ‘non-intervention’ and ‘sovereignty’ associated with 1648. http://dlvr.it/SMSwBK

It is easy to regard human rights as a failure because, much like international organisations, individuals have not become sovereign the way nation-states are. Yet, this is a premature conclusion to draw. http://dlvr.it/SMRQYF

The three key actors of International Relations – nation-states, international organisations and individuals – were all in place by 1945 and they still encompass the basic shape of how we make sense of the world today. http://dlvr.it/SMRCcT

Neoliberalism did not provide sufficient solutions to the crises of the integration model in Latin America. As a result, emancipatory approaches are gradually gaining space in knowledge production. http://dlvr.it/SMQh5W

It would be nice to pretend that we still lived in a modernist world of meaningful choices, where taking sides was part of a broader grand narrative of struggle and progress. http://dlvr.it/SMNRzb

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine may lead to the geopolitical awakening of the European Union and a renewed focus on the Arctic relationship with Russia. http://dlvr.it/SMF6D4

Transcalar advocacy transcends different scales of action, such as the regional or national, and discards many prior assumptions about advocacy. http://dlvr.it/SM7vVz

Given that it has attracted the world’s attention, the Ukraine v. Russia case may represent either a turning point for international law or a further confirmation of the narrow conceptualization of the crime of genocide. http://dlvr.it/SM64Z4

The internationalisation of the conflict can be destabilising because there is less pressure to find the compromises necessary for peace agreement. http://dlvr.it/SM4yTV

In Bosnia, as in the case of Northern Ireland, civil society efforts to build peace may encapsulate the concept of civil peace spaces. http://dlvr.it/SM432q

The high-emitting state of Australia has obligations considering its international agreements: especially vis-à-vis its vulnerable Pacific Island state neighbours. http://dlvr.it/SM3G0T

The European Union has abandoned its perceived humanitarian values to pursue a ‘state security’ ideology. The result? New policies make refugees increasingly unwelcome. http://dlvr.it/SM2x5f

Muqtedar Khan discusses current global geopolitics, challenges for the Muslim world, as well as his vision for Islamic democracy and governance. http://dlvr.it/SM2ByG

Putin has abandoned the common European framework of values and law (if he ever shared it) and is instead forcing Russia into an open attack against it. http://dlvr.it/SLycjz

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has unleashed a scramble for traditional energy sources when it should, instead, be a time to plan for ways to wean the global economy from oil. http://dlvr.it/SLvBlx

Whatever states may gain from adopting a strategy of resilience, their societies will lose in terms of security as resilience is not a synonym for security. http://dlvr.it/SLtpBr

Totalizing moral binaries are particularly dangerous in the sphere of international relations, where international law lacks universal mechanisms of enforcement. http://dlvr.it/SLqKfV

The EU introduced the Regulation (EU) 2019/452, which established the framework for Foreign Direct Investment Screening, in order to securitise Chinese FDI in Europe. http://dlvr.it/SLk4sj

Responses to the Ukraine invasion put the spotlight on calls by numerous people who wonder where this outpouring of support was in their hour of need. http://dlvr.it/SLgkhd

The flooding of arms into Ukraine will neither bring peace, nor an end to fighting but a protracted war with civilian casualties and unforeseen consequences. http://dlvr.it/SLcfct

Colombia is set to elect a new Congress and, soon afterwards, a new president which will indicate whether it will join Latin America's turn to the left. http://dlvr.it/SLYwm1

This intellectual biography of Immanuel Wallerstein and Perry Anderson provides a distinct comparative anaysis and relates their approaches to contemporary crises. http://dlvr.it/SLYZ0V

World Security works best when it is a community of lowercase 'world securities', fails ambitiously and continuously, collaborates, and learns. http://dlvr.it/SLWTxk

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has been underwhelming, plagued by shortcomings in the project itself and from the nature of governance and politics in Pakistan. http://dlvr.it/SLSx4q

With global attention focussed on Ukraine, Xi’s efforts to reinstate a Sino-centric regional order by recovering ‘lost lands’, including Taiwan should not be overlooked. http://dlvr.it/SLML37

If this military adventure fails to reach its objectives, Russia will be a humiliated pariah state on the fringes of world economic and political power. http://dlvr.it/SLLtDx
