N. 11 (2020): East-West Studies
East-West Studies

The East West Studies Journal is pleased to release its 2020 annual edition. We are bringing to your attention articles from scholars connected to our School of Governance, Law and Society. The topics chosen reflect current issues which are significant for the society at large, thereby carrying interdisciplinary approach. Upon careful scrutiny, we notice return to fundamental societal and legal questions such as the meaning of sovereignty (Indrek Grauberg) and the impact of postmodern reality on EU politics (Igor Gräzin). Fundamental questions find their “concretization” in articles concentrating on issues which reflect upon emerging and ongoing European and domestic practices. Into this category belong articles of Lehte Roots about relocation and resettlement of refugees in the EU, public sector reforms in Estonia (Gerly Elbrecht and Leif Kalev) and media’s role in promoting innovation services at municipal level (Marju Medar). I invite you to enter into academic debates with our authors and disseminate their findings and suggestions in academic and among stakeholders.

Yours Truly,
Mart Susi, Editor-in-chief
Professor of Human Rights Law
