President Herman Van Rompuy is often poked as a figure of fun. But does his first speech on foreign and security policy reflect a closet Machiavellian, plotting and strategising to flesh out the European interest?

When I attended the course “United Nations and International Law”, read by Lauri Mälksoo at the University of Tartu, we were shown a film about international conflict resolution, the UN, and the global politics. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the film, although I believe that it is quite a well-known one. Though cluster bombs were not [...]

By Pietro De Matteis
Such a strong decision was in the air especially in Washington. The US was expecting a new EU after the Lisbon treaty: more coherent, stronger and more comprehensible. An Europe that after about 8 years since the Laeken Convention, that started the path towards EU’s institutional reform, could finally become an effective [...]

I found the following advertisement from the Legal Writing Professors Blog: „Israel’s first international conference on academic writing, Academic Writing and Beyond in Multicultural Societies, takes place from July 28 to 29, 2010, organized by The Israel Forum for Academic Writing (IFAW) and the Institute of Research, Curriculum and Program Development for Teacher Education (known by [...]

Russia has (and also formally on 4th February 2010, see ITAR-TASS, and EU Declaration on the Ratification of Protocol 14) ratified Protocol No.14 to the European Convention on Human Rights. On 15th January 2010, the State Duma of the Russian Federation voted in favour of the ratification of Protocol No.14. On 27th January 2010, the upper [...]

How should the European Union develop its multilateral relationships with the rest of the world? How should it utilise new informal groupings like the G20? And what should the G20’s relationship be with the United Nations?

The last decade was very eventful. The age was defined by Islamist terrorism, military intervention and economic globalisation, and often seemed to be running on fast forward. What will happen in the next ten years? Here are ten predictions!

Russia is keen to buy a powerful amphibious warship from France to assert its geostrategic interests around its borders. If France accepts the offer, how will this impact on Russian-European relations, especially in light of Russia’s intentions in the Baltic and Black Sea regions?

European Geostrategy | 12:00, 15 December 2009

What does Afghanistan (and by implication, Pakistan) mean for Europeans? Is the threat posed by both merely transnational in nature, or does it also contain a geopolitical dimension? And how should Europeans respond? What conceptual changes are required to make the European Union more effective in this region?

      Well , too much hungry for oil and for the strengthen of british influence than the selfdeterminatio you had fighted for. I guess the next move of yours will be the expulsion of inhabitants, like you did in Did in Diego Garcia. Anyway you've been fooled, the inhabitants of malvinas are less than 50% of total population, the rest are people who went ther […]

      James, A well argued piece that was compelling throughout. I whole-heartedly agree that European support for Britain in this matter is essential. Hopefully, this would see considerable emphasis placed on our relationship with Europe and not America. It would also strengthen the British position and influence within Europe. Well done, Tim […]

      French Derek: Yes, you're quite right. I did not mean to overlook or downplay the role played by the British Army. They did do most of the hard work once the Royal Navy ferried them into the South Atlantic and established sea and (near-) air superiority... […]

      James: I'm not sure the British army would appreciate being lumped in as 'a naval squadron' (your brief reference to 1982). The liners QEII and Canberra were requisitioned to carry the troops over: commandos, parachute regiment, infantry and Gurkhas. Apart from that, I agree with your overall assessment. The British should get out of their ou […]

      Notwithstanding your item 8, van Rompuy seems to be setting out his own idea of what his job should be. His speech this last week showed some of the key strands of his thinking. First, he appears to setting out the agenda for the future of the EU as an international player (and in the process very delicately treads on many national leaders' toes). Sec […]
