Ά κύκλος σεμιναρίων

Μικρά κράτη υπό δημιουργία: οι περιοχές της Σκανδιναβίας και της Μεσογείου

(Απρίλιος – Ιούνιος 2024)

Η πρώτη σειρά σεμιναρίων του ερευνητικού προγράμματος NORMED έχει στόχο να εξετάσει από κοινού τις περιοχές των Βορείων Χωρών και της Μεσογείου με άξονα την ιδιότητα των κρατών που τα απαρτίζει ως “μικρά” (small states).

Από γεωπολιτική σκοπιά, συνήθως αυτές οι περιοχές δεν εξετάζονται μαζί, καθώς εμφανίζουν πολλές και σημαντικές διαφορές. Ωστόσο, κατά τους νεότερους χρόνους, η ιστορία και των δύο περιοχών είναι, κατά μία έννοια, η ιστορία μικρών κρατών/οντοτήτων, οι οποίες αναδύθηκαν μέσα από πολύπλοκες γεωπολιτικές ανακατατάξεις κατά τη διάρκεια του 18ου και 19ου αιώνα από τη Βαλτική έως τη Μεσόγειο – αλλαγές και μετατοπίσεις που προκλήθηκαν από πολέμους, επαναστάσεις και τη διάλυση αυτοκρατοριών. Οι πολιτικές οντότητες που προέκυψαν επινόησαν πολλούς τρόπους για να επιβιώσουν και να συσχετιστούν με τα μεγαλύτερα κράτη στα σύνορά τους και τους διάφορους μεγάλους πολιτισμούς, όπως ο γερμανικός, ο σλαβικός, ο ασιατικός/οθωμανικός.

Τα σεμινάρια του πρώτου αυτού κύκλου θα πραγματοποιηθούν στα αγγλικά.

Αυτός ο κύκλος σεμιναρίων θα λάβει χώρα στα γραφεία του ΚΕΑΕ (Μανδροκλέους 26, Νέος Κόσμος, Αθήνα – Σταθμός Μετρό “Νέος Κόσμος”).

Mogens Pelt | Associate Professor in International History, The Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen

“Becoming small: the case of Denmark and the Imperative of the Regional (1814-1945)”

Discussant

Ada Dialla, Professor of Modern and Contemporary European History, Department of Art Theory and History, Athens School of Fine Arts | President of the Executive Administrative Board, RCH

Abstract

It is easy to get the impression that small states are “small by nature” and that we need to focus on the primate of smallness to understand the constraints placed upon them and the room of manoeuvre which they use to navigate in the game among nations.Instead this lecture will discuss the process by which Denmark became small and how that forced her to reinvent her place among nations and how it shaped the norms that came to form the political culture of that country.

16 Μαΐου 2024, 18:30-20:30 | Apostolos Tsiouvalas

“Small States and Kinopolitical Power at Sea: Taming Nomadic Forces from Greenland to Greece”

Discussant

George Kalpadakis | Senior Researcher, Modern Greek History Research Centre (KEINE), Academy of Athens

Abstract

Under international law of the sea, the concept of ‘state sovereignty’ defines all relationships in the ocean space and serves as the fundamental tool to control mobilities and exercise jurisdiction over movement, often framed as the ‘kinopolitical power of the state’. Small states emphatically wield kinopolitical power to diminish any non-state mobilities and consolidate their position in the international arena. To examine the interplay between non-state mobilities (nomadic forces) at sea, which often challenge existing territorial assumptions, and the exercise of kinopolitical power by small states, this presentation delves into two examples. First, it draws insights from the way control over movement is wielded by a small Inuit nation striving for decolonization, Greenland, over its distinct Indigenous nomadic subgroups, by confining them within a delineated territory and implementing certain resource management mechanisms. Subsequently, examining migration policies and violent practices at sea, it shows how Greece, under the same territorial rationale, seeks to assert kinopolitical power in the Mediterranean Sea and control any non-state movement. Through these examples, this presentation highlights how sovereign territorial logics not only impose a singular spatiolegal architecture for the world’s oceans but also silence distinct ontologies of movement embedded in Indigenous, migrant, or other non-state jurisdictions in the ocean space.

Speaker’s CV

Apostolos Tsiouvalas is a PhD Research Fellow at the Norwegian Centre for Law of the Sea (NCLOS) at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø. Apostolos is also a Research Associate at The Arctic Institute – Center for Circumpolar Security Studies, a think tank and registered 501c3 nonprofit organisation based in Washington D.C., U.S.A and board member of the Hellenic Polar Zones Society (ELEPOZ). Apostolos holds an LL.M. degree in Polar Law from the University of Akureyri in Iceland, an MPhil degree in Indigenous Studies from UiT The Arctic University of Norway, and a BA degree in Law from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. Apostolos’ main research interests revolve around legal anthropology, new materialism(s), legal pluralism, indigenous rights and environmental law in the Arctic. His doctoral project is critically exploring Law of the Sea’s understanding of motion in the world’s oceans as an artifact of legal modernity and seeks to revisit it in light of premodern theorizations of motion and legal anthropological research with Arctic Indigenous communities. Throughout his PhD studies, Apostolos has been awarded fully-funded fellowships at various institutions, including the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Ilisimatusarfik – the University of Greenland, the Polar Cooperation Research Centre in Kobe, Japan, and the Sustainable Ocean Alliance Fellowship program in Panama City, Panama. In 2022, Apostolos was honored with an award from the French Institute of Norway as the best early-career scholar in Norway focusing on ocean research, followed by research mobilities in Brest and Paris, France.
