Many of the central concerns of international relations—war, diplomatic relations, international trade and investment, and alliance politics—are also central to the state-making processes that are essential for the survival of states. The overlap between international relations and state making is profound but largely unrecognized. I present a framework emphasizing connections across these currently disparate areas of scholarship, thereby providing a more comprehensive basis for IR research. The framework I advance emphasizes the pursuit of capacity and legitimacy throughout a state’s existence, suggests new research topics, and raises new concerns about research design.

State Of Art

Although Western scholarship in the 1980s and 1990s tended to argue for the disunity of the Enlightenment movement, the so-called "East European Enlightenment" is still mostly taken as a unitary phenomenon. My aim is to describe the state of art of a virtually non-existent historical discipline - "East European Enlightenment studies" - and to reconstruct the intellectual roots of its marginalization. In addition, methodological complements to the macroregionalist approach will be offered by using the concept of the "Venturian Enlightenment" with the example of the Enlightenment in Bohemia and by suggesting some new research topics.

Theoretical Pluralism

This paper takes on the key discussions in the contemporary International Relations and critically presents and evaluates the insights of the theorists in the content of the latter while systematizing them in an analytical framework based on Wendt?s ontological turn and inspired by Roseanu?s reconceptualization of change in the world politics post?Cold War. Being aware of the complexity of such a task, the framework shall, if anything, offer a reader a map that facilitates our navigation in a seemingly vast and tangled up world of IR theory, its enduring contentions and new research themes. A special attention is paid to a characterization of the discipline in the state of ?theoretical peace?, with respect to the meanings and implications of today?s prevalent theoretical pluralism and ecclecticism in IR. It remains to be seen in what ways the IR community will answer to these perspectives, whether it chooses to go for a bolder dialogue in an early phase of theoretical pluralism, or it will work more on ?critical problem solving? of the issues that are delivered daily by turbulent world politics.

The Way

The consulate is an old and a dignified office. Through various vicissitudes the consul has come down to us from the days when, with the dawn of new courage and enterprise, the closing of the Middle Ages saw the revival of international trade and travel in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Hence the future of that office must be of considerable interest from an historical point of view, to say nothing of the interest which all of us who expect to do any foreign traveling ought to feel in the fate of the traveler's best friend. All of this is doubly true in view of the fact that serious changes in the consulate are in point of fact impending, or even taking place before we have had time to notice them.Almost everyone who has even a slight acquaintance with the history of international relations is aware of the way in which the consular office has already lost much of its old standing through the abolition of privileges of extraterritoriality in modern states. Originally, the consul was a judge in many cases between citizens of the state which he represented who were permanently, or even only temporarily, residing abroad. Today in all Western states he has come to exercise judicial powers only with respect to seamen on vessels flying the flag of his appointing state. The result has been a great diminution of his powers and prestige, a change so pronounced and of such long standing that few nowadays appreciate the great dignity and influence of the consular office in its earlier history.

The Subject

The subject of the paper is the international relations and recognition of the Principality of Transylvania. International law requires the existence of three mandatory elements in order to recognize a state. These are territory, population, and sovereign authority over them. If we focus on the Transylvanian state, meeting these requirements will not represent an issue. The interesting question is the fourth but not additional criteria of statehood in international law, international recognition. Without international recognition, a state cannot act as part of the international community, and there will always be a collision between claims of sovereignty by other states. In Transylvanian history, this collision existed with the Habsburg and the Ottoman Empire. The essay shows that the independent Principality of Transylvania had the recognition of other states, also having regular foreign policy and diplomatic relations. To demonstrate this statement, the essay is built on three points and breaks down as follows: the evolution of the state from the Eastern Kingdom of Hungary until the Principality of Transylvania, the foreign policy of the Transylvanian state, its directions and orientations and the international relations of the Transylvanian state, with evidence of state recognition.

The paper appraises current progress in establishing the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Although the progress has slowed down after the initial rapid advancement, the Union is better viewed not as an exception from the general rules of regional economic integration but rather as one of the functioning customs unions with its successes and stumbling blocs. The paper reviews the state of Eurasian institutions, the establishment of the single market of goods and services, the situation with mutual trade and investment flows among the member states, the ongoing work on the liquidation/unification of non-tariff barriers, the problems of the efficient coordination of macroeconomic policies, progress towards establishing an EAEU network of free trade areas with partners around the world, the state of the common labor market, and the dynamics of public opinion on Eurasian integration in the five member states.
