Tomáš Sadílek, Jalal A.F.M. Ahamed, Dominika Jakubowska: Financial anxiety of university students in Poland and Czechia: fsQCA analysis

This study aims to formulate propositions based on combinations of causal conditions that lead to high or low financial anxiety among European students, particularly in Poland and Czechia. The data for this study were collected in September 2023 from 265 undergraduate and graduate students with their income at one university in Poland and three in Czechia. Students’ views on financial anxiety were explored using a seven-item Likert scale. This study uses fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), an emerging marketing research technique.

Zbyněk Dubský, Markéta Votoupalová, Alžběta Vítková: Framing the European Green Deal: political and media energy discourses in Czechia and Sweden

The European Green Deal (EGD) has become a key reform process in the European Union with a major impact on energy reforms in the Member States (MS). At the national level, the discourse around EGD and the Fit for 55 package plays a crucial role in shaping perceptions and potentially influencing behaviour. While scholars have examined particularly the EU discourse on the EGD, this paper focuses on Czechia and Sweden, two MS with contrasting attitudes towards renewable energy deployment and climate protection. Using the methodological framework of the Discourse-Historical Approach, the comparative analysis examines how EGD is framed within political and media discourses in these countries during the first phase of reform implementation (2019–2022). The main findings suggest that despite contextual differences, EGD appears to be universally accepted and shows resilience even in the midst of external and internal changes. Notably, although the argumentative strategies differ, the overarching acceptance of EGD remains consistent.

Alena Filipová, Karel Helman, Veronika Mokrejšová, Přemysl Průša, Tomáš Sadílek, Jiří Zeman: Looking sustainable or acting sustainably? Conspicuous sustainable consumer behaviour (Fairtrade chocolate)

This study aims to investigate whether decision-making towards sustainable products is influenced by social pressure, and whether the visibility of sustainable consumption is a decisive factor for purchasing Fairtrade chocolate among Czech students. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the anticipated conspicuousness of sustainable consumer behaviour (SCB) and willingness to pay (WTP) for Fairtrade chocolate in the stimulus–organism–response (SOR) model. Moreover, moderation of this relationship by self-monitoring and attention to social comparison information (ATSCI) was examined. Data were collected from 203 Czech students (participants) using a consumer experiment.

Monika Junicke, Jakub Matějů, Haroon Mumtaz, Angeliki Theophiloupoulou: The heterogeneous effects of technology shocks. Evidence from the Czech Labour market

This paper uses administrative labour market data from Czechia to investigate the heterogeneous effects of technology shocks. Using a FAVAR, the shock is identified using medium run restrictions à la Uhlig (2004b). The shock has a positive effect on hours for workers with wages at and above the median, while there is some evidence that workers on low wages reduce their hours. Analysis of industrial and demographic groups indicates that the former group is likely to consist of males, to be educated or to work in services.

Kateřina Kočí, Jarolím Antal: Doing the Same With Different Results: Variations in EU Presidencies of Austria, Finland, Slovakia and Czechia

Holding the presidency in the Council of the EU can be a powerful tool of influence for a member state. Despite its centrality in EU decision-making, there is a gap in a systematic analysis of the performance of the presiding country, especially considering the external (input) factors that impact the successful implementation of the EU presidency. This article attempts to understand how the EU presidency can be conceptualized and what factors can influence its success. The analysis dwells on findings from current scholarly research as well as on data from four selected EU presidencies (Austrian, Finnish, Slovakian and Czech). It argues that the success of a presidency may be interpreted as apparent, but in reality, its extent and nature vary. It (the presidency) is a result of various factors that directly become part of the preparations and affect the execution of the presidency’s activities.

Gaziza Shakhanova: Perspectives on Chinese Soft Power by Kazakh Repatriates from China

This article explores the perception of China among Kazakhs who have first-hand experience of living in China before migrating to Kazakhstan. Through interviews with ethnic Kazakhs who were born and grew up in China before moving to their ‘homeland’, the article reveals what these Kazakh repatriates think about China. By doing so the article offers new insights into the resonance of Chinese soft power in Kazakhstan. The repatriates were positive about Kazakhstan’s economic cooperation with China, but they showed a lack of interest in Chinese culture and remained silent on the Xinjiang issue. This challenges the assumption that anti-Chinese sentiments are prevalent in Kazakhstan.

Gaziza Shakhanova: Sino-Russian rapprochement after Russia's invasion of Ukraine

The goal of the present article is to analyse if there was an observable change in the impact of Chinese normative power on Russia after the start of the war in Ukraine. The article finds that despite Russia’s growing dependence on China there have been no significant changes in the measure of success of Chinese normative power in Russian discourse. Russian officials refuse to copy Chinese initiatives and instead produce competitive initiatives of their own. At the same time the article observes a significant change in the perception of China among the Russian elites: while before the invasion they had a tendency to look down on China, after the invasion they portray China in a radically more positive manner.

Jeremy Garlick, Monique Taylor: ‘Flexible’ versus ‘fragmented’ authoritarianism: evidence from Chinese foreign policy during the Xi Jinping era

Since the 1980s, a widely held view within the scholarly literature has been that China’s political system is characterised by ‘fragmented authoritarianism’ (FA). According to the FA model, the central government’s power is limited by competing interests among a diversity of actors within the Chinese state. These actors include central government ministries and bureaucracies, local governments, and corporations, which bargain for influence over policy direction, leading to incoherence and inconsistency in decision-making. In this paper, we aim to demonstrate that the FA framework is misleading in the realm of foreign policy, especially in the era of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In its place, we characterise China’s decision-making and policy implementation system as flexible authoritarianism. Although actors such as corporations and local governments have a considerable degree of autonomy, they are responsible primarily for policy implementation, to which they can make adjustments within a set of broadly defined boundaries. Long-term strategic goals defined by the Party leadership are combined with elements of neoliberal free-market economics and applied with a remarkable degree of consistency. We illustrate the argument through evidence and case studies from Chinese foreign policy during the BRI era.

Ayaz Zeynalov, Ruslan Aliyev: Determinants of the choice of exchange rate regime in oil-exporting countries

This study examines the factors that determine exchange rate regime choice in oil-exporting countries. We run ordered logit regressions for an unbalanced panel dataset of 138 countries covering 1974–2021 and confirm that oil-exporting countries are more likely to adopt a fixed exchange rate regime than other countries. The main reason for this is that, given the volatility and uncertainty of oil revenues, traditional monetary policy tools are ineffective, resulting in the exchange rate serving as a nominal anchor. This is supported by our findings on the distinct roles of output volatility, government spending, fiscal cyclicality, and central bank independence in determining exchange rate regimes in oil-exporting countries.

Laure De Batz, Evžen Kočenda: Financial crime and punishment: A meta-analysis

We provide the first quantitative synthesis of the literature on how financial markets react to the disclosure of financial crimes committed by listed firms. While consensus expects negative returns, the exact size of the effect is far from clear. We survey 111 studies published over three decades, from which we collect 480 estimates from event studies. Then, we perform a thorough meta-analysis based on the most recent available techniques. We show that the negative abnormal returns found in the literature seem to be exaggerated by more than three times. Hence, the “punishment” effect, including a reputational penalty, suffers from a serious publication bias. After controlling for this bias, negative abnormal returns suggest the existence of an informational effect. We also document that accounting frauds, crimes committed in common-law countries such as the United States, and allegations are particularly severely sanctioned by financial markets, while the information channels and types of procedures do not influence market reactions.

Zbyněk Dubský, Kateřina Kočí, Markéta Votoupalová: Enlargement of the EU Towards the East: A Pivotal Change in EU’s External Policy?

The EU’s Eastern enlargement in 2004 was marked by the entry of mostly smaller states, whose ability to shape the external direction of the EU was questioned. However, the EU’s response to the war in Ukraine has shown how important the Eastern dimension of external policy is for the EU and that this Easternisation of the EU has occurred precisely in the wake of the 2004 enlargement. This is due to the fact that these states have been able to push their own narratives in the discourse on the EU’s Eastern direction, particularly in the case of the Eastern Partnership. This article analyses the discourse of Central and Eastern European states regarding the Eastern partnership, specifically the narratives of the official documents of three Baltic and four Visegrad group countries in the 2009–2022 period. The analysis made it possible to identify narrative structures and showed that the narratives are relatively similar in the selected countries. Despite the lack of cooperation between the two groups and the West’s neglect of the Eastern Partnership policy, they were able to individually strengthen their position in the EU and maintain the discussion about the Eastern Partnership at the EU level as a result.

Zbyněk Dubský, Lukáš Tichý: The role of narratives in the discourse on energy security of the European Commission: The EU's transition in energy relations with Russia

The article analyses the discourse on energy security of the European Commission (EC) towards Russia in the period from 2014 to February 2022. The analysis is conducted on the basis of three identified narratives (the securitization narrative, the geopolitics narrative and the zero-sum game narrative). The same themes can be narrated and argued about differently within the discourse on energy security. But they always reflect the gradual deterioration of the energy relations. In these narratives, Russia is seen as a security threat (the securitisation narrative), a (great) power rival (the geopolitics narrative) and a player with interests antagonistic to those of the EU (the zero-sum game narrative). The EC seeks to portray Russia as an unsuitable partner for long-term energy cooperation and also seeks to influence the EU’s activity in energy relations.

Jeremy Garlick, Gangxing Qin: China’s ‘do-as-I-do’ paradigm: practice-based normative diplomacy in the global South

China’s influence in the global South has both material and ideational aspects. In the era of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), material aspects include trade in goods, infrastructure-building, and imports of raw materials and energy. Ideational aspects include political influence and attempts to diffuse Chinese norms, some of which differ from those enshrined in the so-called ‘liberal international order’. This paper posits that China’s norm diffusion in the global South is attempted via practice-based normative diplomacy which includes both discursive and non-discursive practices. In theory, Chinese norms are supposed to be co-constituted by partners in a process we call ‘earning recognition’. In practice, the Chinese government expects partner countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to model their behaviour and discourse on the example set by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) without significant contestation. Our analysis demonstrates that the PRC’s normative diplomacy has achieved a degree of earned recognition and influence, in that actors in the global South have begun to alter their behaviour along the normative lines expected by Beijing rather than those enshrined in the Western-led liberal international order. However, Chinese discursive practices have not met with the same degree of recognition as non-discursive ones, leaving space for counter-initiatives from the Western powers.

Marcela Hennlichová: Quai d’Orsay Led by an Amateur? Revealing the Unknown – Jules Develle

This paper aims to reconstruct the tenure of Jules Develle, the French foreign minister in 1893. The analysis of Develle’s conduct is based on his dealing with two major events of the time – the Egyptian crisis and the Franco-Siamese War – against which his activities and their reflection in the contemporary press are traced. Based on the analysis of primary sources, namely Develle’s personal and official correspondence, which have so far been neglected by scholars, and comparing it with the correspondence of Develle’s colleagues, associates, political partners, and the contemporary press, the paper offers a unique portrait of a politician who has been overlooked by modern historiography. Besides revealing the unknown politician, this study also contributes to an understanding of the workings of the Quai d’Orsay during the Third Republic. Furthermore, it seeks to analyse the decisions made by France vis à vis the two key events in the French foreign policy of 1893, as well as the specific culture of behaviour of the various political actors at the time.

Ensuring access to nutritious food, maintaining a healthy planet, and eradicating child labor remain as critical priorities for protecting children’s rights. In this article, we explore issues and problems within the global food systems that impact children’s rights. We explore this through the lens of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We examine the intricacies of the food systems and their effect on children’s rights through five case studies from various regions around the world, looking at the lives of children in Australia, Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica, Mali, and elsewhere. The analysis encompasses topics such as school food programs, unhealthy junk food, climate impacts of farming, health impacts of pesticides, and child labor, all within the global food system. Our aim is to clearly demonstrate that adopting a child rights-based approach to food system governance can promote fairness and justice to children. Our argument is that it is cardinal for states to develop strategies and measures to curtail activities that hinder the realization of children’s rights and promote activities that enhance their realization. States bear a responsibility to restructure the institutional framework and to reinterpret the obligations of businesses to facilitate this objective.

Pantoja Martínez, Yadira Ixchel, Iglesias San José, Jitka Volfová, Kateřina Chvátalová: Festivals as instruments of public diplomacy: The Festival of Embassies in Prague

Promoting countries’ culture may become an essential element of public diplomacy as it has the power of attraction using different expressions such as food and music. Public diplomacy research has focused on strategic communications and building relationships with stakeholders, but little research about instruments of public diplomacy has been conducted. The goal of this paper is to elucidate how festivals contribute to the implementation of public diplomacy. This research utilizes a mix of qualitative and quantitative data collected through observation during the Festival of Embassies in Prague, online interviews with diplomats who attended the festival, and a survey conducted with visitors during the festival to assess their perceptions toward the festival. This paper proposes six festival dimensions: Ambassador presence in the event, ambassadors’ presentation of their countries, food, music representing countries, traditional attires, and stalls representing their countries. The results indicate that this food festival is an effective instrument of public diplomacy as ambassadors’ presentations at the event are relevant, but the country stall and food are more significant than the mere presence of the ambassadors. Recommendations for diplomats include maintaining their participation in this festival but mingling with people, and for organizers, increasing the event’s promotion.

Jana Vlčková, Magdolna Sass: he impact of state activism on domestic multinationals: The case of Czechia and Hungary

This study examines how changing state activism has influenced the internationalization of Czech and Hungarian MNEs after the global financial crisis. Identifying four key channels – state ownership, business and regulatory environment, industrial policies, and ‚quiet politics‘ – we note distinctions in state-business relationships and characteristics of multinationals between the two countries. Hungary experiences a surge in state activism, while Czechia faces relative stagnation with occasional setbacks. Over time, the industrial policy and quiet politics channels have become increasingly important. This is reflected in changes among the top Hungarian multinationals, with new entrants and new owners of existing ones, while no significant changes are observed among Czech MNEs. The study introduces the concept of ‚defensive internationalization‘ as a response to an unstable business and political environment, showcasing long-lasting impact on the location of headquarters. The increasing role of industrial policies and new EU programs may enhance the state’s influence on MNEs, yet they also raise concerns about corruption and public fund diversion.

Gaziza Shakhanova: Normative Power China: Why Kazakhstan is Ignoring the 'Re-education' Camps in Xinjiang

The issue of the Xinjiang re-education camps has not led to universal condemnation of China’s policies. In fact, some of the countries whose citizens are interned prefer not to press the issue at all. This has been the case of Kazakhstan, the largest Central Asian country neighbouring China. Using the concept of normative power China (NPC), this article examines via content analysis of speeches and interviews how and why the Kazakhstani government has followed the Chinese official position. The results suggest that China has been somewhat successful in exerting its normative influence amongst the Kazakhstani political elites.

In the European Union (EU), parties operate on the regional, the state, and the supranational level. Exploring how parties behave legislatively from a cross-level perspective, this paper evaluates the territory-oriented legislation introduced by three regionalist parties – Südtiroler Volkspartei, Femu a Corsica, and Plaid Cymru – in all parliaments they occupy (from 2018 to 2022). The parties initiate greater self-government, autonomy safeguards, and concrete region-oriented policies in the regional and statewide parliaments. Meanwhile, many specific, state-addressed proposals are generalised to all European regions in the Committee of the Regions and the European Parliament (as are all demands directed to the EU) and concern the protection of ethnic minorities, regional development, and regional involvement in EU policies. Drawing on novel parliamentary data, this three-level study reveals multi-level legislative strategies of a distinct party family aimed at territorial empowerment while exposing available legislative channels and routes of interaction across the levels of governance.

Zbyněk Dubský, Lukáš Tichý: The EU energy security relations with Russia until the Ukraine war

The article explores the EU’s energy security discourse regarding Russia during the period of 2010–2021. Three sub-discourses of this discourse are identified: the geopolitical, securitisation and diversification sub-discourses, as the same topics of the relationship are communicated differently in each of them. We use the method of discourse analysis (the main data analysis method is content analysis) and interpret the influence of the individual sub-discourses on the formation of the EU identity and interests. Through this, the role of discourse in relation to the formation of the EU as an energy actor is demonstrated. The discourse has an impact on the views of the reality of the EU energy cooperation with Russia, and it subordinated the energy cooperation to the political situation before the war in Ukraine.

Jaroslav Weinfurter: The Co-Ontological Securities of Gated Lifeworlds: Atmospheres and Foamed Immunologies under Late Modernity

This article returns to the existentialist roots of ontological security theory (OST) and proposes a phenomenological re-reading of ontological security through the theoretical language of spherology and immunology in order to bring OST into a more substantive engagement with the spatial and immunological realities and practices of the globalizing world. Departing from the work of Peter Sloterdijk, the article advances three principal claims. Firstly, it shows that under the spatio-immunological dislocations of late modernity, the processes of ontological security are better understood as matters of “co-ontological security,” reflecting the highly relational and co-dependent character by which human lifeworlds are organized and juxtaposed. Secondly, it explores the ways in which technologies and life-support systems of ontological security may have negative ramifications for the ontological integrities of other neighboring lifeworlds. And lastly, the article investigates the autoimmunological processes that are at work in all immunological systems and that are capable of turning the mechanisms of ontological security into the very sources of insecurity. In exploring these themes, the text examines the retirement community known as The Villages to show how protected living in an expanding and gated lifestyle community produces the very conditions of ontological insecurity for the self and for others.

Štěpánka Zemanová, Radka Druláková: Central Europe: bringing a forgotten realm to Global International Relations

In recent decades, intensive attempts emerged to introduce a new Global International Relations (GIR) research programme related to the post-colonial critique of western dominance and its efforts to overcome the current geopolitics of knowledge. Even though several regional and national approaches have been included in GIR, the integration of semiperipheral IR thinking is only in its early stages. Some of them still remain almost neglected within the GIR context. In response to this challenge, this paper aims to introduce the IR thinking produced in Central Europe (CE) by four semi-peripheral nations – Czechs, Hungarians, Poles and Slovaks – into the GIR framework. It highlights the specifics of the region that should be reflected in GIR as a genuinely global discipline. We address the specific position of Central Europe close to the West but, for various reasons, never fully integrated into its core and the related epistemological uncertainty of how to study regional realities. Simultaneously, we search for those regional CE ideas that would be more generally applicable in the study of international relations and, at the same time, mirror the unique experience of an area with not only close ties to the West in terms of civilisation but also a long tragic history.

Nikola Adamovská, Michaela Zemanová, Bilal Bahadir Karaca: The way out of a crisis? The role of cities in the process of Europeanisation: a case study of Thessaloniki city diplomacy

Even though many stakeholders generally acknowledge cities’ presence and growing importance in international relations, the impact of their autonomous foreign policy remains unclear. Despite prior observations of city diplomacy, knowledge of how intensively city diplomacy is interconnected with the foreign policy of central governments is vague. The article is therefore focused on the circumstances that push cities to undertake diplomatic action and the consequent implications for the Europeanization process of the region. The conclusions reveal that Thessaloniki city diplomacy leverages the Europeanization of the region and has the capacity to complement the Greek government’s foreign policy. The article also argues that the cross-border exposure of cities implies possibilities for further Europeanization of the region.

Laure de Batz: Financial market enforcement in France

This article puts into perspective enforcement as conducted by the French Financial Market Authority since its creation in 2003 until 2021 with respect to the current state of the literature on financial crimes. The three main channels of action are exhaustively surveyed: sanctions, settlements (since 2012), and alerts (since 2010). The sample is comprised of 393 sanctions standing for cumulated 371 million euros of fines, of 86 settlements standing for cumulated 13 million euros of fines, and of 194 alerts. The article also underlines the complex challenges of information acquisition regarding financial crimes, despite increased efforts of enforcers in terms of transparency. Financial innovations and internationalization of financial markets also contribute to challenge enforcement. This review is supplemented by investigating the translation of regulatory changes into the verdicts for breaking the law, measured as the fines. The results stress that the majority of legal criteria introduced in 2016 were already accounted for, with room for improvement for enforcers and defendants. The ultimate goal of this article is to fuel regulatory debates on how to enforce financial regulations more efficiently in light of the recent history, in a European and globalized context.

Jakub Eberle: Understanding German Foreign Policy in the (Post-)Merkel Era – Review Essay

This essay reviews four recent books on Germany’s foreign policy with emphasis on the era of Angela Merkel. The evaluation is based on their (a) added value to scholarship on German foreign policy, (b) theoretical sophistication and contribution to IR, and (c) relevance also for the post-Merkel era. I argue that the books bring in valuable insights regarding the enduring, yet also changeable role of anti-militarism and provide knowledgeable analyses of the failure of Germany’s policies toward Russia. Importantly, they enrich also broader literatures, especially in their focus on discursive change and state power in the European Union context. I demonstrate that these ideas help us understand Germany’s struggle to redefine its role after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and offer more nuanced analyses of Germany’s policies and their specifics, staying clear of treating the country as a priori exceptional.

Kateřina Kočí, Zuzana Fellegi, Klára Benešová: Work and Family Balance in Top Diplomacy: The Case of the Czech Republic

While female representation in the top diplomatic circles was almost nonexistent during the Czechoslovak era, the number of female diplomats in the Czech Republic has steadily increased since the fall of the state-socialist regime. Women are currently solidly represented in the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), but very few (14%) reach highest diplomatic positions. This study examines the main challenges that influence the careers of top diplomats using quantitative and qualitative data, including official statistics and documents of the Czech MFA and interviews with top diplomats and officials. The results indicate that work-family conflicts are the main challenge for all diplomats. However, women are apparently affected more disproportionately because of the existing “double burden” and a specific “concept of motherhood” vested in a deeply essentialist understanding of gender roles. These barriers have origins at the personal, institutional, and state levels that are strongly interrelated and historically and politically path dependent.

Jeremy Garlick, Fangxing Qin: China's Ideational Influence in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE): A Comparative Analysis of Chinese and European Scholars' Interpretations of China-CEE Cooperation

Chinese and European scholarly debates on China’s relations with Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have steadily heated up since the introduction of the 16/17 + 1 cooperation mechanism in 2012. However, they have tended to take place in discrete linguistic and academic bubbles. This article has three aims: first, to introduce Chinese scholarly debates on China-CEE cooperation to an Anglophone readership; second, to conduct a critical assessment of Chinese and European scholars’ inclusions and omissions; and third, to compare the narratives presented by Chinese scholars concerning China-CEE cooperation with European scholars’ interpretations. The content analysis demonstrates that Chinese scholars under-emphasize the influence-forming and ideational aspects of the platform, while European scholars insufficiently analyze the extent to which the 16/17 + 1ʹs characteristics are shared with other Chinese regional cooperation platforms.

This paper presents the results of the analysis of initiatives taken by selected European Union member states concerning enhanced water protection with respect to ownership and management of water resources and water distribution systems. Two of the countries studied have recently enacted their constitutional protection of water (Slovakia and Slovenia), one country is planning to reinforce the protection of water in its constitution (Czech Republic) and one state found the constitutional protection of water unnecessary (Finland). Whereas the reasons for (not) protecting water at the constitutional level vary widely, the common denominator is a strong support for protecting water as resource.

This paper explores patterns of quality differentiation and specialization relying on model-level panel data of retail sales and prices of refrigerators across 23 countries in the European Union. Unlike customs data aggregated at the product category, typically used in the trade literature, model-level data allow us to test for the presence of nonhomotheticities by comparing market shares of identical models across different markets. We measure quality at the model level, account for varying willingness-to-pay for quality at different incomes, and link quality measures to objective model attributes.

Jaroslav Weinfurter: Security beyond Biopolitics: The Spheropolitics, Co-Immunity, and Atmospheres of the Coronavirus Pandemic

This article explores the limitations of the oft-used biopolitical frameworks of interpreting the regulatory emergency measures that have been enacted worldwide in the face of the spreading pandemic of COVID-19. Not only have the state responses to coronavirus often been beset by manner of “biopolitical failures,” it is also the Foucauldian emphasis on the top-down formation and application of immunity that produces a view of health security that is much too narrow. In proposing an alternative framework, the article draws from the spherology of Peter Sloterdijk and suggests a transition from bio- to a distinctly sphero-political theory of immunity that is capable of integrating the ontological synergies that exist between human bodies, spaces, and atmospheres. More specifically, the spheropolitics of coronavirus are discussed in relation to the security dispositif of the household and examined through the case of the Czech Republic.
