Legal and Political Issues
Author:
The book clarifies key conceptual issues surrounding ADIZs and their influence on maritime territorial disputes in the context of the Senkaku/Diaoyu island dispute. It uniquely offers a detailed analysis of national legislation on ADIZ, suggesting that ADIZ might be evolving customary international law. The book demonstrates that aerial zones do not necessarily violate the freedom of overflight, as the airspace above the EEZ may have a dual legal status, allowing for sui generis zones. Furthermore, it shows that ADIZs do not conflict with fundamental principles of international air law or the ICAO-Council's authority to establish rules in international airspace.

A Clash between Perceptions and Reality
Author:
Have you ever wondered why politicians reach for democratic innovations? How do they evaluate deliberative practices involving ordinary citizens and what political value do they ascribe to them? Do they want to put citizens' perspectives at the centre of decision-making processes in the face of a growing crisis of representative democracy, or are their motivations more nuanced and instrumental? This book is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in the future of democracy, using unique data from in-depth interviews with local politicians to explore decision-makers' attitudes towards deliberative innovation and propose some truly effective ways to design it in relation to traditional representative institutions.

The Impact of the US, EU, China, and Russia
Author:
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is a unique region, with a sharply changing political and ideological orientation from a “left turn” to a “right curve", which means it is difficult to build stable and predictable international relations with the region. At the beginning of the 21st century, we witnessed a sharp increase in interest in LAC from extra-regional powers that, due to historical, cultural, and geographical factors, traditionally did not have strong ties with the region.
The 2020s is a time of competitive and systemic rivalry, when the value of each individual partnership, union, or alliance is increasing. In this regard, this wave of interest in LAC is not caused by a desire to expand trade and investment presence, but by the desire of new actors in the Americas to use the region to gain greater global geopolitical influence. This book addresses the question: What role do extra-regional actors—the US, China, the EU, and Russia—play in the new system of international relations formed in LAC at the beginning of the 21st century? Ultimately, the book opens up a new multilateral perspective on the role and place of LAC in global processes in the context of the interaction and confrontation between the worldviews of the West and the non-West.
