This publication discusses Russia’s foreign, security, defence, and military policies from both Euro-Atlantic and Russian perspectives. More importantly – this work acts as an essential platform for analysing the security challenges linked with Russia and the required responses of the Euro-Atlantic community to the complex challenges posed by Russia’s actions in the region and on a global scale. This collection of articles has emphasised the perception of Russia shared by NATO, the European Union, Russian pundits, and the regional actors. The uniqueness of the current volume proposes an equal measure of pragmatic policy solutions and academic ones to these critical global issues. From the Euro-Atlantic side, the work pays special attention to the efficiency of the transatlantic deterrence of Russia and its importance for security in the wider-Baltic region. The articles also focus on the multiple Russian hybrid actions of 2019–2021, the lessons learned from Russia’s actions in Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, and potential threats that might emanate from Russia’s military modernisation. Thinking from the Russian side, elite and domestic discourses, popular perceptions, and future potentialities are presented and synthesised into this broader paradigm.

Chaque année, l'Union Nationale des Clubs Universitaires et l'Union Syndicale des Journalistes Sportifs de France organisent une université d'été. En 2007, la manifestation a été accueillie par la Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris. Le thème choisi pour cette 25ème Université Sportive d'Été s'intitulait : Le Sport, l'Université, la Société, doublé d'une ambition non dissimulée, en guise de sous-titre : En finir avec les espérances déçues ? L'Université et le Sport ne sont pas au-dessus ou en dehors de la Société mais l'une et l'autre sont bien au cœur de la Société. Or la Société n'est pas au clair sur ce que pourrait être leur rôle, y compris dans cette forme singulière qu'est le Sport à l'Université, lieu de passage obligé pour la formation d'une grande partie de la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui. Pour autant, le Sport et l'Université sont aussi à un moment clé de leur existence. En outre, tout en cherchant leur place au sein de la Société, l'Université et le Sport ont tendance à se regarder avec une certaine distance. L'objectif initial de I'USE était de mettre en relation les représentants des institutions qui ont pour charge de gouverner ces trois domaines afin de fixer ensemble des conditions permettant de lever malentendus et marques de méfiance. Au terme des analyses et des échanges, il semble acquis de pouvoir supprimer de mauvaises habitudes, d'en finir avec des espérances souvent déçues et d'ouvrir de réelles perspectives d'action concertée.

An exploration of the powerful role of anxiety, ambition, and envy in shaping both our individual lives and society as a whole. At the heart of the human experience lies anxiety caused by the realization that the world is unknown, forever eluding our control. And out of this anxiety arises the master passions of ambition and envy, which we repress to mask their power over our lives. Discussion of the role of the emotions in our lives is not new, but Mihnea Moldoveanu and Nitin Nohria go much further, showing how these passions shape not only our individual lives but our social and organizational culture as well. The master passions are not pretty, and so we cover them with the more socially acceptable faces of reason and morality. Moldoveanu and Nohria guide the reader in revealing the real impetus behind such actions as firing a friend, leaving a lover, or even pillaging your own people. Below the rational explanation, they show, often lies a willingness to hurt or even destroy others to fuel our own ambitions or quench the fires of envy. The authors offer intriguing thought experiments and examples from their own lives as they expose the power of the master passions. Deftly weaving ideas from psychology (Sigmund Freud), sociology (Max Weber), literature (William Shakespeare, Albert Camus), and philosophy (David Hume, Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche) with the personal, they build a strong argument that society would be much healthier if we faced the deception and self-deception that pervade our lives.

"Research shows that we mistrust people who seem too nakedly ambitious for power. Indeed, Madison warned of the dangers from ambitious politicians. And yet, in the United States, with relatively weak parties, personal ambition for power is almost essential as candidates must create their own campaigns. In Europe many think that personal ambition tends to be subordinated to the goals of the party because political parties are much stronger and more disciplined. This is a study of the role of political ambition in Europe, comparing it to the United States. The author finds that personal ambition plays a different role in Europe but one that is changing. In the age of Donald Trump it is timely to ask whether countries are better served by politicians who seek higher office because of personal ambition or by those who subordinate their personal goals to the needs of the party or the country"--
