“Here is your mission,now own it!” The rhetoric and practice of local ownership in EU interventions

One of the core principles of EU interventions under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) has been local ownership. While the EU takes pride in fully respecting this principle, the existing research suggests that the implementation has been far from smooth. However, we still know very little how this principle is conceptualised and operationalised, let alone why its implementation has been so difficult. Drawing on document analysis and 27 in-depth interviews, the article makes 3 arguments. First, ownership is increasingly construed in the EU policy rhetoric as a middle ground between imposition and restraint. Second, in practice, ownership is operationalised as an externally driven, top-down endeavour, resulting in the low degree of local participation. Third, in addition to the obstacles normally faced by other peace-builders, the EU’s efforts to implement ownership are constrained by the politics and policy-making of CSDP. The arguments are illustrated in a case study of the European Union Mission on Regional Maritime Capacity Building in the Horn of Africa (EUCAP Nestor).     

Perceptions of CSDP effectiveness in Ukraine: a host state perspective

This article makes a contribution to the little explored issue of evaluating the effectiveness of the EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Drawing on the interviews with local beneficiaries of two missions in Ukraine, one CSDP proper (European Union Advisory Mission) and the other a “hybrid” mission (EU Border Assistance Mission), the article analyses which factors shape the local beneficiaries’ perception of a mission being effective or non-effective. It shows the reputational approach deriving from the organisational theory can offer a fruitful theoretical framework for understanding CSDP perceived effectiveness on the ground. The article contributes to the studies of CSDP and its engagement with the host state as well as to the nascent academic and policy literature on CSDP and Ukraine.

赖特的阶级理论及其价值——兼评改革以来我国的社会结构研究

当代西方一些马克思主义学者不满意于流于社会表层结构分析的阶层分析模式,在坚持马克思主义阶级分析核心理念的基础上,运用社会学和统计学的实证方法,试图将阶级分析方法和阶层分析方法结合起来,重构阶级分析的一般理论框架。尤其是他们虽然充分注意了是否拥有“组织资产”和“技术/资格证书资产”在社会和组织分层中的重要作用,但仍然把所有权关系作为社会结构分析的首要变量。这些理论和实证研究的新成果,对于观察和分析现阶段我国的社会结构有重要的理论借鉴意义。

Land policy in post-independence Eritrea: A critical reflection

After a brief review of the traditional land tenure systems in a historical perspective, the article attempts to identify and discuss the main tenets of the post-independence government's land policy and explains the reasons underlying the government's decision to opt for state ownership, in spite of the bleak track record of such a property rights regime, instead of building on the wealth of the historically transmitted, culturally embedded, and socially sanctioned tenurial regimes in the country. On the surface, there appear to be well-thought-out arguments underlying the government's land policy as underpinned by the land law. This article questions the main assumptions and the reasons that support this policy.     

论物权法中车库的归属及相关法律问题

车库的归属是建筑物区分所有中的一项具体制度,该制度的设计不仅关系到广大城市居民的权益保护,也关系到整个小区的和谐。在现有的各种解决方案之中,《物权法(草案)》的设计虽然仍存在着缺陷,但相比较而言,是更合理的制度设计,因而应当在物权法中继续予以坚持。
