The article is devoted to the study of the implementation of territorial cohesion policy in the European Union in order to achieve a secure regional coexistence. In particular, the regulatory and institutional origins of territorial cohesion policy in the EU are considered. The evolution of ontological models of cohesion policy has been outlined. Specifically, the emphasis is placed on the key objective of political geography – effectively combining the need for "territorialization" and the growing importance of networking. The role of urbanization processes in the context of cohesion policy is highlighted. Cross-border dimensions of cohesion policy in the context of interregional cooperation are explored. Particular emphasis is placed on the features of integrated sustainable development strategies.

The study of contemporary Europe has attracted growing attention in mainstream political science and international relations. Both studies of the European Union and cross-country comparisons of various political phenomena in different European countries are beginning to enrich our understanding of the process and limitations of integration. This growth of interest has also been stimulated by the opening up of central and eastern Europe which has encouraged scholars to address the issues of transformation using the tools of comparative politics. In addition, studies of Europeanisation are now being more systematically related to broader international developments and to the process of globalisation. British scholars, and British-based scholars, are making important contributions to the debates in political science and international relations. This review article traces some of the strands of this development.

Opening Up

AbstractThis dicussion suggests three steps. One is to retrieve the varieties of capitalism from the propaganda that claims there is no alternative to free market capitalism. Second is to examine the growing influence of American capitalism and the diversity or convergence of capitalisms in light of Enron and related episodes. Third is to probe options for the articulation of alternative capitalisms. Looking forward, one way in which this can happen is through a substantive dialogue between Asian countries and the European Union with regard to the direction of contemporary capitalism and globalization. This line of argument can function at two levels — as a broad-brush policy direction and as opening up thinking about globalization — probing the scope for choice.

Territorial Cohesion

Over the past two decades, both academics and policy makers have discussed the meaning of territorial cohesion in the context of the European Union (EU). This debate on the meaning and content of territorial cohesion is becoming increasingly important in a Europe that is facing multiple crises. This article contributes to the literature on EU’s territorial cohesion policies by tracing the ways in which territorial cohesion has been defined, framed and justified as an EU policy. We analyse public speeches made by the acting commissioners for Regional Policy and inquire into the Cohesion Reports from 2004 to 2017 produced by the European Commission. In particular, we interrogate both the meaning of the concept of territorial cohesion and the justifications for pursuing territorial cohesion. We conclude with some critical remarks on the relevance of economic production-based definitions and justifications for territorial cohesion policies. Accordingly, we argue that treating macroeconomic production as an indicator of territorial cohesion harmfully consolidates a narrow understanding of societal wellbeing and development and imposes on all regions a one-dimensional economic scale to indicate their level of development.

The research focuses on aviation collaboration from the perspective of two regional unities – the European Union (eu) and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (asean). The aspirations of each regional entity are considered alongside the mechanism to facilitate talks and developments with respect to aviation and specifically opening up the skies, so as to create more liberalised air service agreements with China. This paper explores the strategy and framework mechanism of both the eu and asean and the research questions the effectiveness of both frameworks as well as the political motivations for opening air service markets with China. The research findings identify and discuss the developments, challenges and successes within the global aviation sector in terms of partnerships and progression with China to open up the skies.

Project fnance of infrastructure (e.g. exploitation and transportation of natural resources, high speed railways, internet) forms a basis for the peaceful development and the prosperity of nations as well as the transnational community. What is needed are dependable networks in a world in transition, where digitalisation and new powers demand joint action. Particularly in the Eurasian region, from Lisbon to Vladivostok, felds with future prospects are opening up for Russia, Germany and the European union. We can develop them through investment and cooperation, by building up trust through common rules and sustainable substance. Here, a concept for this is presented for “Intercultural Project Finance”: An order of law and business (order of assets; German: Vermoegensordnung), in which state and private actors build up the necessary trust and are able to co-operate and proft transnationally for the good of the common prosperity of all peoples. A key element of a suitable system for the investment of capital (transnational investor protection law) is a sustainable valuation law; this has to be developed and etablished by legal comparison. In the following, relevant aspects for theory and practice which are basic for the actors of infrastructure project fnance will be shown, as well as the new initiative of the European union regarding “Connectivity”.
