- Exploring the Genesis Moment: Tracking the Making of a New World Order and Europe’s Place in ItAs the existing world order unravels, how the new one will be forged is yet uncertain, as there is no consensus on how to identify the new or upcoming order. Many identifications have been suggested: the world is multipolar, apolar, asymmetrically multipolar, in entropy, or bipolar.

The interregional dimension is essential for uncovering similar local rationales despite national-level differences.

- Kosovo Specialist Chambers as a New Model of Internationalized Courts: Legal, Political and Discursive Implications for Transitional JusticeThe Kosovo Specialist Chambers are a distinctive entity in international criminal justice, tasked with prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed by members of the Kosovo Liberation Army during and after the Kosovo War.
