Kosovo is the largest per capita recipient of EU financial aid in the world, and is home to the largest civilian crisis management mission ever launched by the EU (EULEX). However, it is questionable whether or not this assistance has been sufficiently effective. The judiciary continues to suffer from political interference, inefficiency and a lack of transparency and enforcement. The Kosovar authorities do not prioritize sufficiently the rule of law and the disagreement over the recognition of Kosovo jeopardizes the incentive for EU accession. This paper considers the EU's assistance to Kosovo in the field of the rule of law and assesses its success in achieving its intended results. It discusses the EULEX's impact upon the overall progress of Kosovo in the main areas of the rule of law: the police and justice. Adapted from the source document.

The Lisbon Treaty settled a new balance of power within the EU political process, through the so-called institutional reform. However, the Lisbon balance of power was changed by the Euro crisis, which saw the strengthening of member states' influence within the Union. The greater role taken by the European Council on crisis management went along with a new balance of power between member states, with Germany acting as a hegemonic power, and a group of countries taking political benefits from the crisis. The article also focuses on how the Euro crisis impacted on the role of the Commission and how the institution interacted with the new balance of powers. Adapted from the source document.

Thirty years ago at the time of their independence the leaderships of Guinea Bissau & Cape Verde united under the single party banner of the PAIGC & declared their joint political objective of the unification of both territories. It is an objective which today, considering the vastly different circumstances of each country, seems almost bizarre. While Guinea-Bissau appears to stagger between political crisis & military interventions on a permanent basis, Cape Verde seems to be extracting itself from the "African space" altogether. This article tracks the widening trajectories of both countries since their independence in an effort to understand why, at the beginning of the new millennium, they appear to face utterly different political & economic prospects.

The purpose of this article is to explain why decision-making decision-making about sending Bundeswehr troops to peacekeeping, stabilization and combat missions abroad remains a problem for German foreign and security policy. The article argues that a paradox prevails in Berlin's foreign policy, which is also reflected in its security policy, between Germany as the central geo-economic European power, as the ongoing crisis in the eurozone shows, and its obvious discomfort in assuming a more assertive role in security policy, based on a more engaged security strategy, more like its European partners.
