To what extent can securitization theory help us to engage with the puzzles and problems of foreign policy analysis (FPA)?

This chapter will probe these questions and attempt to demonstrate that these seemingly disparate research traditions indeed both complement and inform one another. Securitization t

The process of financialisation has been cast as a major contributor to increasing inequality of wealth and income in a number of advanced industrialised economies, but the nature of the link requires precise clarification. In this article, we argue that financialisation in Australia has advanced inequality, but in a particular way. Charting several features of ‘financialisation of the macroeconom

The Lewis (Le) blood group antigens are a set of fucosylated glycan structures. They are present as N- and O-linked structures on glycoproteins and as glycolipid-based structures on cell surfaces. Depending on the exact structure, the Lewis group is divided into four subgroups; Lea, Leb, Lex and Ley. Lex and Lea can further be sialylated and/or sulfonated.

Som en reaktion på Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina har EU och allierade G7-länder infört omfattande sanktioner riktade mot rysk olja och petroleumprodukter. För att kringgå dessa sanktioner har Ryssland i allt större utsträckning förlitat sig på en parallell flotta – en så kallad skuggflotta – som har kommit att spela en betydande roll i finansieringen av den ryska krigföringen. SkuggfloIn response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, EU and allied G7 countries implemented extensive sanctions regimes targeting Russian oil and petroleum products. To circumvent these sanctions, Russia has increasingly relied on a parallel fleet operating without Western ties – a shadow fleet – which has come to play an important role in funding the Russian war effort. Shadow fleet vessels em
