Politics and Gender Issues
Historically, the study of gender has its roots in the anthropology of women and, therefore, is very often mistakenly to be only about women […]
What is Power in International Relations?
Power is the ability to make people, states, movements, organizations, or things to do what they would not otherwise have done. It is a matter of fact that politics is seen to be about might rather than right […]
The Power of the Internet in Politics

The “Non-Citizens” of the Baltic States: Α European Scandal Nobody Speaks about!
I can imagine what the reaction of the EU institutions would be if a state like Russia or Belarus had an extremely high proportion of persons deprived of citizenship and, consequently, of the full scope of citizens’ rights […]
What is the Concert of Powers in International Relations?
However, exactly the members of Concert of Powers are among the first actors in global politics who are constantly violating the concept of collective security in order to secure their own geopolitical goals (for instance, the USSR’s aggression on Afghanistan in 1979, the US’ aggression on Grenada in 1983, the NATO’s aggression on the FR of Yugoslavia in 1999 or the US’ and the UK’s aggression on Iraq in 2003) […]

The real culprit, however, has been market failure and economic insecurity, both now and then […]
Implicit Meanings in Ecumenical Patriarchate’s Tomes
Often the Ecumenical Patriarchate can’t find convincing arguments to reason its decisions (see the discussion involving metropolitan Emmanuel (Adamakis) of France at the Order of St. Andrew’s Virtual Town Hall in late January). Sometimes the Phanar even prefers to keep silent as it did after the unilateral cancellation of the 1686 act on the transfer of the Kyivan Metropolis to Moscow’s jurisdiction […]
