Das russische Institut für Weltwirtschaft und internationale Beziehungen sowie der Atlantische Rat der USA haben im Januar 96 auf ihrem siebten Treffen die vorliegende gemeinsame Erklärung über die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen sowie zu Sicherheitsfragen abegeben. Im Mittelpunkt des Meinungsaustauschs standen Kernfragen wie die Osterweiterung der NATO und die START- Verträge, die Effektivierung der russischen Wirtschaft, der es vor allem an Investitionen und Kapitalanlagen mangelt, sowie politisch brisante Themen, wie die Einbindung Rußlands in internationale Organisationen, die Demokratisierung des Landes und die Aufgaben der internationalen Gemeinschaft auf dem Balkan. Den drei Statements sind jeweils Empfehlungen für die künftige Zusammenarbeit beigegeben. (BIOst-Rgl)

This article evaluates Patrick Jackson's recent book The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations. Jackson delivers a thoughtful and timely contribution to meta-theoretical debates in International Relations by highlighting the diverse landscape of incompatible philosophico-ontological positions. Specifically discussing the practical pay-offs of Jackson's taxonomy, the article, though generally sympathetic to Jackson's account, argues that he overlooks three interconnected areas: the myth-historical character of 'International Relations', the semantic heterogeneity or polysemy of his taxonomical categories, and the scope and nature of translation necessary to sustain his suggested methodological pluralism. These shortcomings question the stability and practical usefulness of his taxonomy and call for a more versatile, less static delineation of philosophico-ontological positions and an embrace of a plurality rather than a pluralism in International Relations meta-theory. Adapted from the source document.

This study examines the process leading to the establishment of relations between Turkey and China on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this development. One could argue that the relationship between the two ancient countries of Asia and their people was established through a very difficult process shaped by the Cold War environment. Establishing a diplomatic relationship between the two countries, which were in different ideological camps, was an extremely challenging task in a Cold War climate. It is important to point out that opposition to communism, which used to dominate Turkish politics and society, constitutes the main obstacle to the establishment of connections between the two countries in this period. Therefore, this article focuses on ideological and political dynamics. Undoubtedly, the political climate created by the 1971 military memorandum was an important landmark in this process. On the other hand, China's membership in the United Nations and Taiwan's (Nationalist China) removal from the United Nations - alongside Turkey's stance in this process - played an important role in the establishment of relations between the two countries.
