"Obgleich sowohl in der Außenpolitik als auch in der Wirtschaft, in Handel, Industrie und im Finanzwesen Globalisierung längst Alltag ist, mangelt es nach wie vor in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland am Willen zur Durchsetzung einer konzentrierten Politik zur frühzeitigen Förderung von Begabungen und Interessen für europäische und internationale Aufgaben. Einen gewissen Beitrag zur Lösung dieses Ausbildungsdefizits könnten deutsche Universitäten durch Einrichtung entsprechender Studiengänge leisten. Dies wird am Beispiel des Studiengangs Internationale Beziehungen/International Relations an der TU Dresden gezeigt." (Autorenreferat)

Disease is a transnational phenomenon which pays no heed to territorial state boundaries; yet it rarely features in the discussion of International Relations. It is important that the discipline should address the issue of disease and more broadly, health, not simply to facilitate containment of disease transmission across international borders but also because central notions of justice, equity, efficiency and order are involved.

The impact of Bulgaria's accession to the EU and that of the Global financial crisis are assessed through an analysis of the changes in the country's international trade for the period 2004-2016. Firstly, the general trends in the dynamics of the country's trade flows in terms of value and volume are summarized, and then, the economy's dependence on international trade is assessed. The study then presents an analysis of the direction of Bulgarian trade, including a comparison of the share of its intra-EU trade to that of the EU as a whole and to that of the Central and Eastern European countries. The changes in the commodity structure of trade are discussed by analyzing the share of primary and manufactured products and an index of the terms of trade is calculated in order to assess the trade benefits of Bulgaria's post-crisis international trade relations. Based on the conclusions reached as a result of the analysis, recommendations are made regarding the opportunities in the field of Bulgaria's international trade policy.

This essential new history of the Irish state synthesises existing research with new findings, and adopts fresh perspectives based on neglected European and American debates. It examines the evolution of Irish diplomacy from six consulate officers in the 1920s to sixty ambassadors in the 2010s, and provides an overview of a century of Ireland's diplomatic history that has previously only been examined in a piecemeal fashion. The author's original research findings are focussed particularly on Ireland's struggle for independence in a global context, and his original analysis gives an account of how the economic performance of the Irish state formed a perpetual context for its role in international relations even when this was not a priority of its diplomats. Equal attention is paid to the history of international Irish trade, the operations of bilateral Irish relations, and multilateral diplomacy. It highlights how the Irish state came to find its role in international relations mostly by means of the UN and EU, and analyses this trend in the light of international relations theory and European history. --
