Power and Gender in European Rural Development
Since the early 1990s, new public and private actors, emphasizing issues such as landscape, nature, environment and food safety, have challenged EU rural development policies.This book looks at this innovative framework and, in particular, the impacts of the interactions between established interests and newcomers in local power relations.Specific attention has been given to the gendered nature of these processes.Case studies from throughout Western Europe analyze local rural power relations and present overviews of the significance of rural gender relations.The book demonstrates that traditional and new forms of social organization in rural areas create new forms of political participation.Changing forms of social capital and political participation not only influence the relation between state and civil society, but also male-female relationships.The book argues that the dynamics of these gendered power relations produce competing discourses, which can often hinder policy making and implementation.

Sustainable Urban Development in the European Arctic
Focusing on cities in the European Arctic, this book consolidates research on sustainable development, local and urban governance, and transnational cooperation in the region.It examines to what extent there is transnational cooperation between urban areas in remote locations, and how it can be enhanced to better align with global sustainable development policies to successfully implement goals such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Climate Agreement.Based on field research in seven cities in the European Arctic, Rovaniemi, Kolari, Nuuk, Akureyri, Tromsø, Kiruna and Luleå, the authors explain why approaches to sustainable urban development differ between geographies, how policies relate to other local and global strategies, and to what degree the European Arctic is normative for remote regions at large.The book contributes to important conceptual debates on local governance and transnational cooperation by examining the benefits and potential issues of applying theoretical models of multi-actor engagement and participation in isolated populations.It argues that the participation of local actors in decision processes may encourage a better harmonisation of sustainable urban development approaches in the European Arctic and will have a greater impact at the global level if aligned transnationally.This book will be relevant to researchers, social scientists, policymakers, practitioners and NGOs in the fields of global governance, sustainable development, sustainability research, and environmental studies.

Data Analytics for Engineering and Construction Project Risk Management
This book provides a step-by-step guidance on how to implement analytical methods in project risk management.The text focuses on engineering design and construction projects and as such is suitable for graduate students in engineering, construction, or project management, as well as practitioners aiming to develop, improve, and/or simplify corporate project management processes. The book places emphasis on building data-driven models for additive-incremental risks, where data can be collected on project sites, assembled from queries of corporate databases, and/or generated using procedures for eliciting experts’ judgments. While the presented models are mathematically inspired, they are nothing beyond what an engineering graduate is expected to know: some algebra, a little calculus, a little statistics, and, especially, undergraduate-level understanding of the probability theory. The book is organized in three parts and fourteen chapters. In Part I theauthors provide the general introduction to risk and uncertainty analysis applied to engineering construction projects.The basic formulations and the methods for risk assessment used during project planning phase are discussed in Part II, while in Part III the authors present the methods for monitoring and (re)assessment of risks during project execution.

The European Union and Global Development : A Rights-based Development Policy?
This book systematically analyses the EU’s commitment to a human rights-based approach to development through the lens of global justice theory.It identifies limits to the EU’s approach and discusses how standardised policies, particularly in the case of human rights sanctions, may be perceived as neo-colonially intrusive and can come at the cost of recognizing the experiences and interests of vulnerable groups and allowing for partner countries’ democratic ownership of their own development trajectory.Engaging with primary sources including official documents, reports, and 45 semi-structured interviews with EU and member state officials, the book also presents a novel explanation for why the EU, at times, steps out of its commitment to rights-based development and chooses differentiated foreign policy responses to similar situations.This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of EU foreign policy, EU development policy human rights, and international relations as well as policy practitioners working in the fields of development, human rights and democracy promotion.

Do you, as Southern European men, prefer a Southern European or non-Southern European woman?
As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or experiences. However, I can tell you that individual preferences for a partner's nationality or ethnicity vary widely among Southern European men. Some may have a preference for a Southern European woman due to cultural similarities and shared experiences, while others may be open to dating women from different backgrounds. Ultimately, attraction and compatibility are unique to each person and cannot be generalized based on nationality or ethnicity.
-
Is there a European culture and a European hegemony?
There is a diverse range of cultures across Europe, each with its own unique traditions, languages, and customs. While there are certain commonalities and shared values that can be considered part of a broader European culture, it is important to recognize and respect the diversity within the continent. As for European hegemony, historically, certain European powers have exerted significant influence and control over other regions of the world. However, in the modern context, the idea of a singular European hegemony is complex and contested, as the European Union is a union of sovereign states with shared governance rather than a single dominant power.
-
Do you differentiate between European and non-European migration?
Yes, I differentiate between European and non-European migration because the historical, cultural, and socio-economic contexts of these migrations are often different. European migration has often been associated with colonialism, economic opportunities, and family reunification, while non-European migration is often driven by factors such as conflict, persecution, and poverty. Additionally, European migrants may face different legal and social challenges compared to non-European migrants, and their experiences of integration and discrimination may also differ. Therefore, it is important to consider these distinctions when discussing and addressing migration issues.

Is Putin European?
Vladimir Putin is the President of Russia, which is a country that spans both Europe and Asia. Geographically, a part of Russia lies in Europe, specifically in Eastern Europe. However, culturally and politically, Russia has historically been considered more closely aligned with Eastern Europe and Asia. Therefore, while Putin is the leader of a country with territory in Europe, his political and cultural affiliations are not exclusively European.
