Lielvaru (ASV un Ķīnas) sāncensība 21. gadsimtā
2022
Maģistra darba “Lielvaru (ASV un Ķīnas) sāncensība 21. gadsimtā” mērķis ir vairāku lielvaru augšupejas un lejupslīdes teoriju aplūkošana un analīze, saistot tās ar empīriskajiem novērojumiem par šādu sāncensību. Maģistra darbā apskatītās teorijas tiks pretnostatītas ASV un Ķīnas kā lielvaru sāncensībai mūsdienās, tādējādi veicinot izpratni par iespējamo šādas sāncensības izcelsmi un norisi, izrietot no vēsturiskiem gadījumiem, kas saistīti ar lielvaru sāncensību. Darba teorētiskā bāze ietver izklāstu par lielvaru raksturojumu un vairāku citu jēdzienu apskatīšanu, kā arī apskata četras lielvaru sāncensības teorijas. Maģistra darba empīrisko daļu veido lielvaru sāncensības vēsturiskā ietvara …
Early modern trade flows between smaller states : the Portuguese-Swedish trade in the eighteenth century as an example
2015
The eighteenth century was a period of many great power wars and competition for colonies. However, despite the turmoil, smaller nations were able to carve their niches in the international trade of the period. Examination of new sources, used in a comparative fashion, indicates that bilateral trade still has much to offer for the analysis of international trade history. The pattern of bilateral trade between Sweden and Portugal indicates that they were not equally dependent on that trade, and that the products traded varied over time. Usually bulk commodities dominated this trade, as each country focused on its core competencies. Overall, the volume of trade and the number of ships travell…

Violence as a Subject of Social Science I The Specificity of Political Violence
2021
In contrast to the world's uniformity all types of violence are observed: urban violence, in poor countries where conflicts are incomprehensible from outside, violence which surface is religious in countries of Muslim tradition, fundamentalist violence, nationalist, racist; violence in the world system which accepts the growing difference between poor and rich. Judiciary violence in executions in States that seem the principal warrantors of social peace. There is violence throughout the globe and under surveillance by the great power. It could be said that the global system tolerates a certain “reserve of violence” and obtains certain profits, as well as the economy tolerates certain extent…
The Academy of Turku During the Last Century of Swedish Rule (1720–1809)
2019
The chapter begins by describing the University of Turku as an academic community in the estate-based society of the Kingdom of Sweden, which had lost its status as a Great Power. The author explains the kinship system, born in the seventeenth century, which served to strengthen academic communities both ideologically and economically. Ties of kinship increased ideological cohesion and the sense of a scholarly community both in good and in bad: they were the channel through which books, clothes, and traditions were passed on; however, the kinship system also increased the risk of closedness and inbreeding.
North Korea as a Small Great Power
2019
During the recent years the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has rapidly advanced to the rank of a nuclear power, drawing simultaneously lots of attention on itself both by other states and the media. We argue that this means much more than only increase in its weaponry. Combined with its decades old steadfast strive for independence and opposition to the United States, this means a qualitative change in its position in the international system. The theoretical tool used for this analysis is not statistical size, but rather the style of behaviour. Small and great powers tend to have different styles of behaviour. Small powers usually orient towards acting as “good international …

ASV kā nozīmīgais cits Krievijas lomas identitātes veidošanā: 2007.-2017. gads
2019
Maģistra darba tēma ir “ASV kā nozīmīgais cits Krievijas lomas identitātes veidošanā: 2007.-2017. gads”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kāds laika periodā no 2007. gada līdz 2017. gadam ir bijis Krievijas diskurss attiecībā uz ASV, proti, vai Krievijas ieskatā ASV to atzīst vai neatzīst kā lielvaru, kā arī to, kādas tam ir attiecīgās sekas vienā vai otrā gadījumā. Darba teorētisko bāzi veido konstruktīvisma pieeja, konkrētāk skatījums uz identitātēm. Tāpat darbā izmantota kritiskā diskursa analīze. Darba rezultāti liecina par to, ka ASV neatzīstot Krieviju kā lielvaru, tās retorika kļūst revizionistiska.
“All under heaven as one family” : Tianxiaist ideology and the emerging Chinese great power identity
2019
The rise of China is perhaps the most important development in world politics today. It is challenging the very foundations of the liberal international order that the Western great powers have created. Yet, as China emerges as an economic and political powerhouse with global influence, it is not at all clear what kind of a great power it will become, and what kind of a world order it sees as its ideal. Chinese official foreign policy rhetoric on the subject offers only vaguely described slogans and concepts. Another approach for studying “China’s mind” is to study China’s academic discourse on world politics and foreign relations. In this article, the academic debate around the concept of …
