      [original ingress:] " Suomen Pankin siirtymätalouksien tutkimuslaitos BOFIT arvioi Ukrainan kriisin lisäämän epävarmuuden vaikuttavan Venäjän talouteen ja etenkin yksityisiin investointeihin siinä määrin, että maan BKT ei kasva tänä vuonna. Vuosina 2015-2016 talous elpyy vähitellen, jos kriisin lisäämään epävakauteen liittyvät rahoitusmarkkinareaktiot ovat rajallisia eivätkä pakotteet pitkity ja laajene. Tuonti on jo supistunut tuntuvasti ja pysyy nykyisellään ennen elpymistään vuoden 2015 jälkeen. Ennustettua heikomman kehityksen riskit ovat hyvin merkittäviä ja laaja-alaisia. Talouden kasvun ja kehityksen edellytykset heikkenevät yksityisten investointien lykkääntyessä ja valtion suunnatessa menoja ennen muuta puolustukseen sekä pyrkiessä aiempaa enemmän omavaraiseen tuotantoon."

  • The 2014 local elections in Turkey: a victory for identity politics

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 111-128

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "The context of and the meaning conferred upon the local elections led it to be fought in a referendum-like atmosphere. Prior to the March 30 [2014] local elections, various scenarios put forward both for the governing AK Party and the opposition parties, which largely remained unfulfilled on the elections day. As the local elections is over, a sound analysis of the election's context, results, and possible implications is warranted. Despite the rapid and dramatic transformation that Turkey has undergone over the last decade, particularly since 2007, no such dramatic shift in the voters' behaviors has occurred. This article argues that this is because of the dominance of the identity-politics, over all other issues, that shaped the content and context of the elections. It further claims insofar as this dominance continues to prevail over other concerns in the elections, no major change should be expected in the voters' inclinations and behaviors."

  • The Republican People's Party and the 2014 local elections in Turkey

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 129-147

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "Ahead of the 2014 local elections, the main opposition, the Republican People's Party (CHP), developed an aggressive outreach campaign to add new voters to its ranks as the disappearance of its former rivals, the Democratic Left Party (DSP), left the CHP with a monopoly over the Left and the Gülen Movement broke with the ruling AK Party just months before the elections. The election results, however, reaffirmed that the main opposition party remained largely unpopular outside major metropolitan areas, including Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. On election day, the CHP received less than 5 percent in most of the Southeast and Eastern Anatolia, as its efforts to associate with democracy and freedom proved futile against the backdrop of controversial alliances with extra-parliamentary forces."

  • Syria: the hope and challenges of mediation

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 149-165

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "The civil war in Syria continues to devastate social and political structures, precipitating floods of refugees and surging populations of internally displaced people. Syria has degenerated into sectarian- and ethnic-based warring mini-states vying for power as their country faces utter social disorder. It mass-produces a growing cadre of battle hardened foreign and domestic jihadists affiliated with the various al-Qaeda brands. The war weariness of America and the unmanageable chaos in Syria combine to create shifts in regional politics. This article seeks to put into perspective the crucial role that regional mediation can play in nudging along practical solutions. Without regional commitment and coordination among key Middle Eastern powers, namely Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, international diplomatic efforts to restore order and stability in Syria are not likely to succeed."

  • The Crimean crisis in the context of new Russian geopolitics

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 167-181

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "Over the past months, the crisis in Crimea presented the world with a case study on how rapidly national borders may shift in the 21st century. The turmoil in Ukraine began in November 2013 as widespread protests erupted following a last- minute decision by former president Viktor Yanukovych's to suspend talks on a trade pact with the European Union under pressure from the Russian government. The pro- Russian leadership in Crimea organized an impromptu referendum where the vast majority of participants voted in favor of uniting with the Russian Federation. This article provides an analysis of recent developments in Crimea in the context of Russian policy in the region."

  • Japan and Turkey: the contours and current status of an economic partnership/free trade agreement

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 183-195

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "As the third largest economy in the world, Japan cannot be overlooked in any analysis of Asia's importance in international geopolitics and the global political economy. The ties between Japan and Turkey - whether diplomatic, political, economic or societal - span the breadth of Asia. Those ties have become more numerous and consequential in monetary terms over the last half- decade. Although the relationship has not been a top priority for either country, awareness of the potential for mutual gain as a result of more trade and investment has a history of at least three decades. This article surveys the current economic and trade relationship between Turkey and Japan, paying particular attention to recent notable Japanese investments in Turkey and the preliminary positioning of trade representatives in advance of a proposed Free Trade/Economic Partnership Agreement."

  • The AK Party: dominant party, new Turkey and polarization

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 19-31

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "One of the fiercest electoral battles fought in the Turkish political history, the March 30, 2014 local elections yielded results akin to an outcome of a general election. The AK Party's victory in the ballot box has serious implications for Turkish politics and society in general. This paper will thus discuss and explain the implications of the elections for the AK Party metamorphosis into a dominant party. The paper will also shed light on how the AK Party’s consolidation of its power has led to the emergence of a 'New Turkey'. Last, the article will point to the increased polarization in Turkish society, an externality of the AK Party's dominant party status and the New Turkey."

  • The structural causes of political crisis in Turkey

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 33-41

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "The December 17th [2013] process was started allegedly by a political move by the Gülen movement, which, until recently, had been seen as a religious organization. As the government and the parliament - institutions of democratic representation - countered this move through the use of their constitutional powers, the debate has turned into a totalistic and ontological struggle. However, very few people argue that the problems are actually not independent of the constitutional system of the Turkish Republic, but rather unavoidable consequences of the existing system. If we consider the political steps and strategies pursued by the Gülen movement, we see that we are faced with the most familiar game in Turkish political history, namely the shaping of politics through the use of state institutions."

      [original abstract:] "Just after the end of the Soviet Union and the emergence of three independent states in the South Caucasus Turkey started to manifest a real interest for this region. Energy issue, which is the key issue in this Turkish policy since the beginning, is expected to remain the key priority for Turkey because of its growing economy. Ankara tries to have a balanced relations with the three South Caucasian countries, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia, but for multiple reasons, Turkey's policy in the South Caucasus is still determined by its relations with Azerbaijan who is the best ally and economic partner for Ankara."

      [original abstract:] "Iraq held parliamentary elections in April [2014], the country's first vote since the withdrawal of U.S. troops in December 2011. Although turnout was impressive and a democratic culture has settled in Iraq, outstanding challenges, including terrorism, sectarian divisions and regional conflict, are unlikely to be rectified by the elections. The status quo will continue and Iraq, at best, can only attempt to contain domestic and regional problems."

  • Hezbollah and Syria: from regime proxy to regime savior

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 61-68

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "Hezbollah's longstanding ties with the House of Assad lie at the core of its domestic and regional policies. Losing Assad would undermine Hezbollah's regional strategic posture and embolden its domestic opponents to challenge its military status. Hezbollah is thus fighting in Syria to protect its status in Lebanon and its regional standing as much as to protect Iranian interests in the region. Public rhetoric from both Iran and Hezbollah leave little doubt about their unwavering commitment to the Assad regime. Will Iran and Hezbollah continue to fight for Assad's political survival irrespective of the consequences for regional stability? While they argue that political dialogue and negotiations are the only way forward in Syria, both Iran and Hezbollah have been circumspect about what a political solution in Syria should entail."

      [original abstract:] "As the Arab Spring unfolds, a new power configuration is emerging in the Middle East. Turkey is at the center of the new setting, with a fully engaged leadership role that was adopted by the ruling AK Party. In the Levant area, Ankara's influence is even greater due to Turkey's full support of the Syrian opposition against the Syrian Baath regime. In this context, it becomes clear that the increasingly involved Turkish role in the region has direct and indirect effects on the stability of countries in the Levant, one of which is Lebanon."

      [original abstract:] "Generally speaking, two traditions - right-wing politics and the Left - have dominated Turkish politics over the years. This study aims to analyze historic election results in order to determine roughly how much popular support each political movement enjoys in the country. Starting from transition to multi-party system in Turkey, one can see the emergence of several ideologies, groups and political parties that appeal to various social classes. Although military interventions caused a rupture in the democratization of the country, there has been a lively political environment with dynamic party politics and elections. During the span of Turkish democracy, a number parties were established and closed. This article examines the trajectory of elections and party performances with a special emphasis on ideology and electoral base of the parties."

      [original abstract:] "Like all long political years, the year 2014 did not begin on January 1st; rather, 2014 politically began at the end of May with the Taksim events. Nevertheless, the year may end on an optimistic note. It could be said that, unless the date of the upcoming general elections change, the long political year of 2014 will extend to June 2015. Had the government been overthrown by the police-judiciary coup in December 17th., Turkey would have been sentenced to a neo-tutelage regime for many years to come. The first phase of the tripartite elections race in Turkey ended with Erdogan's victory. The upcoming presidential elections in August 2014 will be the second phase. The March 30 elections clearly demonstrated that the AK Party will continue to play an important part in Turkey's political scene for years to come."

  • One down, two more to go: electoral trends in the aftermath of the March 2014 municipality elections

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. 16): nro: 2 Spring s. 99-109

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "The March 2014 local elections in Turkey did not drastically alter electoral balances in Turkey. The AK Party maintained its predominant position, despite loosing some electoral support. The opposition gained some support but not enough to challenge the incumbent party's tenure. Despite apparent gains for the CHP, it appears that the most significant vote increase was obtained by the nationalist MHP. Yet, both opposition parties remain far from imposing a credible challenge to the AK Party in future elections. These results are likely to lure PM Erdogan into running for president. Such a decision is likely to further polarize the country and result in negative electoral campaigns for the presidential elections. "

This article attempts to designate direction for making mutually advantageous decisions on existing contradictions.

  • Influence of the Lithuanian Presidency of the EU Council on EU relations with countries of the Eastern Partnership

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. ): nro: 31 s. 37-66

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "The Eastern Partnership initiative has run a bumpy course during its first five years of existence. It has not yet reached its goal of stabilising the EU's Eastern Neighbourhood, and drawbacks in relation to each of the Eastern Partnership countries might even lead to the conclusion that the partnership no longer exists. The results are far short of what was expected, with many EU member states having lost their interest in the Eastern Neighbourhood. Nevertheless, the Lithuanian presidency of the Council in the second half of 2013 identified the Eastern Partnership as one of its key priorities, aiming to reinvigorate the EU's relations with its Eastern neighbours. This article discusses the efforts of the Lithuanian presidency to maintain and strengthen EU- Eastern Partnership relations and analyses the extent to which Lithuania has been influential in this regard. In doing so, it assesses three interlinked indicators: (i) Lithuania's achievement of goals; (ii) the extent to which the achievement of goals can be ascribed to the presidency; and (iii) the political relevance of Eastern Partnership related developments in 2013. The article concludes that the presidency is not usually influential in existing frameworks for cooperation, but does exert influence in establishing and consolidating cooperation between the EU and Eastern Partnership countries in specific policy areas, as well as in providing political backing to push certain measures forward."

  • The future of the EU's Eastern Partnership: Russia as an informal veto player

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. ): nro: 31 s. 67-83

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "'Reordering the order' of European security architecture best describes Russian intentions in the post-Soviet space, which have been highlighted during the crisis in Ukraine. The Eastern partners stand in the crossfire of this geopolitical rivalry, between two rival integration areas: the European Union and the newly formed Eurasian Union. However, it is worth asking whether both of these integration areas are playing in this geopolitical game. Five years of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) have produced only limited progress in EaP countries and the main incentive for transformation - the possibility of membership - is still not evident. Furthermore, some EU countries still search for a form of 'engagement' with Russia, while others are bargaining for a stricter policy of 'containment'. Hence, Russia is moving towards becoming an informal 'veto' player in EU-EaP relations, in that it may be able to control the geopolitical path of the countries in the 'shared neighbourhood'."

  • Conceptual factors behind the poor performance of the European Neighbourhood Policy

  • VUOSI: 2014 (vol. ): nro: 31 s. 85-102

    tallennuspvm: 20140923

      [original abstract:] "In recent years, the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) has once again become a politically prominent issue in the European Union's (EU's) external-action agenda. This is mainly because of growing conflicts in neighbouring countries from Libya to Ukraine and the EU's inability to contribute to sufficiently improving security in these states. There has also been a significant rise in criticism in discourse on the ENP, to some extent even giving the impression that the policy as a whole has failed. This study pinpoints and analyses the main factors behind the poor performance of the ENP in terms of guaranteeing security in countries neighbouring the EU. The key issue is whether and to what extent the policy's failure has been caused by controversies rooted in differing expectations, interests and goals of EU member states and ENP target countries, or by the controversial conceptual approach that underlies the policy. Issues relating to the upcoming ENP reforms are also of particular importance for Baltic countries, both in supporting political and economic reforms in former Soviet republics (including nations such as Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova) and determining the direction of EU relations with Russia."

      [original ingress:] "Das Nato-Gipfeltreffen in Newport war vor allem geprägt von der Reaktion des Bündnisses auf die Annexion der Krim und auf die Destabilisierung der Ostukraine durch Russland. Abgesehen von den Einzelbeschlüssen zur Einrichtung einer Krisen- Eingreiftruppe sowie zum Aktionsplan für Osteuropa haben die Staats- und Regierungschefinnen und -chefs jedoch den langfristigen Perspektiven für das Verhältnis der Allianz zu Russland wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet."

  • Die US-Schieferrevolution und die arabischen Golfstaaten : wirtschaftliche und politische Auswirkungen des Energiemarkt-Wandels

      [original web-ingress:] "Die amerikanische Schieferrevolution hat tiefgreifende Folgen für die globalen Energiemärkte. Sie lässt die USA zum Selbstversorger werden, zugleich verschieben sich die Handelsströme von Öl und Gas stärker in den pazifischen Raum. Dabei bleibt der Persische Golf aber das Rückgrat der Weltölmärkte. Verflüssigtes Erdgas (LNG) aus der Region wiederum ist strategisch bedeutsam für einen globalen LNG-Markt und trägt dazu bei, die Energieversorgung auch in Europa zu diversifizieren.
      Dank zunehmender Energiesicherheit gewinnen die USA an Handlungsoptionen in ihrer Politik gegenüber den Golfstaaten. Bei den dortigen Regimen herrscht grosse Verunsicherung, denn sie befürchten ohnehin, dass die Amerikaner sich aus der Region zurückziehen werden. Ein solcher Schritt zeichnet sich bislang zwar nicht ab, doch Europa muss sich auf eine stärkere Lastenteilung mit den USA einstellen, insbesondere was die Sicherung seiner Energieströme vom Persischen Golf angeht.
      Die Entwicklungen auf den Energiemärkten haben nur langfristig und im Zusammenwirken mit politischen Faktoren das Potential, die Stabilität der arabischen Golfstaaten zu erschüttern. Kurz- und mittelfristig müssen diese Länder ihre eigene Energieversorgung sicherstellen und Exporte gewährleisten. Mit dieser Herausforderung sind sie zu einem schwierigen Zeitpunkt konfrontiert. Ihr bisheriges sozio-ökonomisches Entwicklungsmodell lässt sich in Zukunft jedenfalls nicht einfach fortschreiben.
      Die geopolitischen Unwägbarkeiten in der Golfregion und die damit verbundenen Lieferrisiken bieten gute Gründe für die deutsche Energiewende. Zugleich erfordert die neue Energie-Landkarte mehr internationalen Dialog und verstärkte Kooperation. Ein Ansatz dafür wären unter anderem Energie-Partnerschaften mit den Golfstaaten."
