Seit Beginn des russischen Angriffskrieges auf die Ukraine blicken Medien und Politik verstärkt auf das östliche Europa. Die Öffentlichkeit verlangt nach Expertise - und die etablierten Osteuropastudien stellen sich neu auf. Doch womit beschäftigt sich die kommende Generation? Welche Länder, Themen und Disziplinen interessieren die Osteuropaexpert•innen von morgen? Die Beiträger•innen umreißen ein Panorama junger Perspektiven auf das Forschungsfeld und geben einen Überblick über die zukünftigen Schwerpunkte einer hochaktuellen Disziplin.

Quali sono le radici storiche, culturali, politiche e religiose dell'Ucraina contemporanea? A partire da un'ampia bibliografia e da fonti documentarie di prima mano, il volume, frutto di una ricerca pluriennale, ne ripercorre il processo di costruzione, centrando il proprio focus sulla transizione dalla perestrojka gorbačëviana allo Stato post-sovietico. Ne emerge la fisionomia di un territorio che storicamente si è trovato'alla frontiera'– tale è il significato del toponimo Ukraïna – di Stati plurinazionali, prodotto di stratificazioni, spostamenti di confine, trasferimenti di popolazioni, contaminazioni culturali, profondamente segnato da eredità storiche differenti e oggetto in età contemporanea di progetti politici contrastanti. Molti nodi controversi della costruzione dell'Ucraina contemporanea restano tutt'ora irrisolti, mentre nel paese infuria una guerra i cui esiti sono difficili da prevedere, ma le cui radici affondano in una storia che esige di essere compresa nella sua complessità. Volume pubblicato nell'ambito del Prin 2017 - AAHWKE composto dalle Unità di ricerca dell'Università della Calabria e dell'Università Roma Tre'Culture politiche nella transizione dal comunismo alle'democrazie illiberali': il caso di Russia, Ucraina, Polonia'.

This book describes various approaches in modelling financial risks and compiling ratings. Focusing on emerging markets, it illustrates how risk assessment is performed and analyses the use of machine learning methods for financial risk assessment and measurement. It not only offers readers insights into the differences between emerging and developed markets, but also helps them understand the development of risk management approaches for banks. Highlighting current problems connected with the evaluation and modelling of financial risks in the banking sector of emerging markets, the book presents the methodologies applied to credit and market financial risks and integrated and payment risks, and discusses the outcomes. In addition it explores the systemic risks and innovations in banking and risk management by analyzing the features of risk measurement in emerging countries. Lastly, it demonstrates the aggregation of approaches to financial risk for emerging financial markets, comparing the experiences of various countries, including Russia, Belarus, China and Brazil.

Free trade promotes economic growth through international competition and the efficient allocation of resources while also helping to stabilize food supplies between countries that have an overabundance of product and countries that have a shortage. However, sudden price surges can threaten the social cohesion of developing countries and may lead to malnutrition and stunted growth. Balancing trade liberalization and protectionism is imperative for the provision of food security for all. The Handbook of Research on Globalized Agricultural Trade and New Challenges for Food Security is an essential publication that seeks to improve food security, food independence, and food sovereignty in the conditions of globalized agricultural trade and addresses the contemporary issues of agricultural trade including major commodities and food products traded between major countries, directions of trade, and trends. The book also examines the effects of tariff escalations, administrative restrictions, other forms of trade protectionism on food security, and the emerging trade tensions between major actors such as the US, China, the EU, and Russia. Featuring research on topics including plant fertility, dietary diversity, and protectionism, this book is ideally designed for government officials, policymakers, agribusiness managers, stakeholders, international tradesmen, researchers, industry professionals, academicians, and students.

Renaissance of Classical Allusions in Contemporary Russian Media builds on a growing body of work concerning post-Soviet media culture during the last, transformative decade. Making sense of the literary allusions in media discourse, Svitlana Malykhina reminds us that allusions can serve as a primary marker of identity—national and cultural—and may also be a way of negotiating the gap between what has to be reported and what can be banned by censorship. Malykhina presents the changes and continuities between rhetoric strategies of Soviet-style media and postcommunist Russian media, identifying the key literary and historical references in public discourse, which are then picked up by the media. The book analyzes the political, cultural, and social factors at play in the development and expansion of these allusions in both official and alternative discourses. Examining the rise of the Internet, which has remained wholly uncensored in Russia, Malykhina reveals that the Russian Internet media began to function as alternative mass media. Yet, the success of the Internet media has also brought complex and unintended consequences. Malykhina offers an empirically rich examination of conventional classical allusions in media discourse, focusing mainly on the rhetorical techniques by which subversive meanings of these references were generated.
