“…Assuming that one single individual would assume the same three functions, colloquially defined as 'hats' (Piris, 2010: 243;Griller and Ziller, 2008), has led many scholars to characterize this position as a true mission impossible (Euroactiv, 2009;Dietrich, 2019). The amendments to the functions of the HR have been introduced by Articles 18 and 27 Treaty on European Union (TEU).…”

“…From the beginning of her term, Federica Mogherini advocated active debate and effective investment in counter-terrorism policies. At the end of her term, Mogherini could be satisfied in having actively promoted all the functions under the 'hats' she wore (Dietrich, 2019). Her mandate, similarly to what happened during Solana's tenure, was also marked by several terrorist attacks on European soil, such as those against the Charlie Hebdo magazine and the Bataclan theatre in Paris, as well as the attacks in Brussels, Nice, Manchester, London, Barcelona, and Berlin, in addition to the biggest political challenge the EU has faced in recent years, the 'refugee crisis'.…”

What is security in the twenty-first century? Recently, issues such as crime, terrorism, energy security, population movements and migration, environmental and climate security, underdevelopment, health and pandemic diseases, as well as economic security have become important matters of European security. Furthermore, more traditional security challenges, such as military conflicts and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), have evolved and changed character. In this context, an increasing body of scholarship has recognized the European Union (EU) as a security actor, which is well equipped to tackle these complex security challenges, due to the multi-dimensional or structural character of its policies.Based on a broad definition of security, this unprecedented series examines the role of Europe in international security and justice matters. Taking inspiration from the European Security Strategy (ESS), it identifies more traditional security threats such as WMDs, but also points to global warming and poverty as the possible cause of conflict. Moreover, the series promises to recognize the intrinsic links between security and justice from a multitude of disciplinary perspectives and provides a platform for research that focuses on the study of Europe as a whole, going beyond only the European Union.

“…While there is an established literature on resource nationalism, the context has often been post‐colonial, defined by the rise of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cartel and the crisis of Third Worldism (e.g. Dietrich, 2016; Koch & Perreault, 2019). The Scottish case occupies a peculiar position, not just because oil‐nationalism occurred in a developed former colonial power, but also because this peculiarity has been central to understanding how Scottish nationalists historicised their cause.…”

Of Oil and Agency: Scotland and the Material Conditions of National Imagining

North Sea oil discoveries introduced a qualitative divide that gave rise to at least the prospect of an economically viable Scottish independence, insofar as it made the “Scottish economy” a legitimate point of contestation on constitutional lines. In turn, this problematised the nature of minority nationalism in advanced, developed, post‐imperial capitalist regional economies. The research assesses how economic factors – most notably oil – materially affected the prospects of asserting power, and thus the possibilities for imagining collective agency as a national (i.e. Scottish) project. Oil helped shift “New Left” thinking away from assimilationist and modernising projects of assimilating regional consciousness into “national” projects, while also inspiring outright nationalists to define their own project in relation to the earlier phases of nationalism. The study thus contributes to recentring the study of Scotland, with a smaller emphasis on the local dimension and identities, as against the role of national actors in untangling relationships with wider geopolitical and geo‐economic forces. The claim is not simply that global forces formed the qualitative divide that made nationalist action possible; but also that these were conscious considerations of actors in the aftermath of North Sea discoveries.
