The new edition of the Journal - Issue No 14 (2027/2025) has been published |
|
| This first issue of a new series of East-West studies presents the proceedings of the international conference held at the University of Tallinn on 28 and 29 October 2021. The conference was titled Still a Cold Monster? Rise and Decline of Modern State, and it was sponsored by SOGOLAS, the School of Society, Governance and Law of the University of Tallinn. The topic discussed was the role of the state in an increasingly privatised, globalised and digitalised society. In the last thirty years, national societies have been undergone profound transformations. The first was the promise of a new global order, inaugurated by the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. A new age of peace and global conversation was opened—or so it was universally believed. We thus observed a dramatisation of commitment to international law in internal affairs and the supranational dislocation of some of the traditional tools of national sovereignty. | |
