The aim of this paper is to propose a preferences representation model where ambiguity attitudes can be exogenous events or past experience-dependent. We adapt the Recursive Smooth Ambiguity model proposed by Klibanoff (Journal of Economic Theory 144:930-976, 2009) by introducing past experience described by a sequence of neutral events occurring up to the moment of the decision. These neutral events do not provide any information on the true process, but are likely to strengthen or weaken the decision-maker's ambiguity aversion degree by modifying emotions. Our model can explain some observed behaviors and market inefficiencies. We propose two illustrations. First, we provide a behavioral explanation for the decrease in influenza vaccination in France that followed the H1N1 crisis in 2009–2010. Second, we contribute to the broad literature on the annuity puzzle by introducing the impact of emotions on ambiguity attitudes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MODERN history , *INTERNATIONAL law , *PROTESTANTS , *AMBIGUITY , *MINORITIES , *REVENGE - Abstract
Minority is one of the two important concepts in international law that have not been definitively defined yet. Very few countries have homogeneous population in ethnic, religious and/or religious terms. Minority law, despite the ambiguity of the universal definition, is a branch that has been around for centuries. If we take the law of minorities as a relationship of states with minorities on their land, we can go back to the earliest milestone. However, it is a broad consensus that the law of minorities, in modern history, began to evolve with the 1648 Westphalia Treaty, unless some early examples, such as the 1598 Treaty of Nantes, envisioning France's revenge on protestants.

5. International rituals: An analytical framework and its theoretical repertoires.

RITUAL , *CULTS - Abstract
The performance of ritual and the ritualisation of performance are the two main theoretical repertoires of ritual study in international politics and beyond. However, they also escalate tensions between those who insist on ritual's ability to operate by virtue of participants' presence and those who believe that global networks of media call for a representational turn, which must tie participants and audiences across borders. Should we fail to understand how these distinct theoretical repertoires interact, it would be difficult to study international ritual, identify its functions, and trace its effects. Anchored in the sociology of 'social occasions', this article weaves ritual's patterns, properties, and resources into a coherent analytical framework. The framework enables us to better to grasp how actors move between/within different worlds (ritual and performance) and to what effects. The comparative study of two post-terrorism ritual occasions (the 2011 Rose March in Oslo and the 2015 Republican Marches in France) illustrates the usefulness of this theoretical proposition and its related framework.

AMBIGUITY , *REGIONAL planning , *POLITICAL elites - Abstract
The merger and enlargement of French regions implemented from 2015 is part of a regionalization process which began in the 1950s. A constructivist approach of the emergence and strengthening of this new regional tier demonstrates the continued existence of an axiological ambiguity combining neoliberal and solidarity-based norms upon which are founded French regional planning policies. The continuation of this ideological assemblage has made the regions flexible instruments, capable of responding to heterogeneous ends and building consensus among political elites.

'This important book provides a comprehensive and much-needed analysis of French defence export policy, the first of its kind in more than 30 years. Lucie Béraud-Sudreau skilfully reconstructs the policy deliberations during the post-Cold War era, in the process shedding light on France's understanding of strategic autonomy. Her book will be essential reading for any observer of French defence policy.' Professor François Heisbourg, Senior Advisor for Europe, IISS 'French Arms Exports: The Business of Sovereignty is poised to become the go-to resource on the contemporary French arms trade. Not since the 1970s has there been such a carefully researched, historically rich and politically knowledgeable book about the French arms trade, and Béraud-Sudreau ably brings us from the Cold War to the modern day, using a wealth of original interview evidence. In doing so, she also offers important insights into the sources of continuity in French arms exports, amidst great political, economic and military change.' Jennifer L. Erickson, author of Dangerous Trade: Arms Exports, Human Rights, and International Reputation and Associate Professor of Political Science at Boston College 'This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand French defence-export policy and its foundation in the broader policy conception of strategic autonomy. Taking a systematic deep dive, Lucie Béraud-Sudreau not only elaborates upon the relevant actors and internal power dynamics in the policy process, she also analyses the changes in policies and outcomes when France had to react to a shifting European and global political and industrial landscape.' Dr Christian Mölling, Deputy Director, German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) Ever since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1958, France has believed its strategic independence to be predicated on self-sufficiency in modern weapons. In order to maintain the requisite defence-industrial base, in the context of limited domestic orders, successive governments have prioritised the export of French arms on a large scale. In this Adelphi book, Lucie Béraud-Sudreau provides a detailed, behind-the-scenes examination of the institutional arrangements that have underpinned France's relatively liberal approach to arms sales over the years. The narrative begins during the Cold War, when France offered customers an alternative to reliance on one of the superpowers for their arms purchases, and then charts how the French arms-export system has responded to international political developments and dramatic changes in the global arms market. The book shows that, in general, France's leaders and machinery of government have been resistant to the notion of restraining arms sales. It also looks to the future, arguing that France now faces a dilemma over whether to maintain its traditional course or accept a greater degree of export restraint as part of closer armaments cooperation with European partners. Lucie Béraud-Sudreau is Senior Researcher and Director of the Arms and Military Expenditure Programme at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Sweden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

EUROPEAN Union citizenship ,CITIZENSHIP ,IMMIGRANTS ,AMBIGUITY - Abstract
EU citizenship is often regarded as the culmination of a process whereby the transnational mobility of 'workers' has led to the granting of rights to 'humans' qua citizens, with both legal scholars and ethnographers emphasizing its normative significance in this respect. Challenging such a narrative, this study sets out to highlight the contingent nature of a postnational EU citizenship, with reference to the lived experiences of migrant Roma. As a first step, we highlight the conditionality within EU law associated with the granting of rights to those enacting EU citizenship by residing within EU territory beyond their own member state. In a second step, we highlight the variable ways in which such conditionality is deployed in different national contexts, with reference to the frameworks in France and Spain. While the former has deployed these conditions in a manner that has excluded EU citizens, particularly migrant Roma, the latter-at least for a time-was more permissive in its granting of rights to EU citizens than EU law required. However, in a third step, we suggest that the lived experiences of migrant Roma in these two national contexts have not been as different as the legal differences suggest. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork on Romanian Roma in two municipalities near Barcelona, we demonstrate the ways in which a local politics of exclusion is legally possible, even within an ostensibly permissive juridical framework of citizenship. We highlight how the ambiguity of a multilevel citizenship not only opens up possibilities for multifaceted forms of exclusion, but also for various forms of resistance, both within and beyond a juridical citizenship framework.

Using discursive institutionalism as an analytical framework, this article addresses how national actors build, coordinate and communicate discourses on EU defence policy (CSDP) at home. The empirical analysis is based on a comparative study of substantive and interactive discourses in France and Ireland, two contrasted cases. It demonstrates that France and Ireland frame and interpret elements of CSDP that best fit their needs, use them to promote their defence agenda in a legitimate and ‘European’ way and present CSDP as a natural continuation of their preferences. These defence agendas revolve around the preservation of France’s exceptionalism and Ireland’s neutrality. Discursive institutionalism, which methodologically sheds light on agents and institutional contexts, helps to understand the dynamics of constructive ambiguity, a discursive strategy often applied to CSDP and illustrated by these two cases.

In this article, the interaction between animals and humans in two works by Poussin and Racine, Poussin's 'Paysage avec un homme tué par un serpent' (1648) and Racine's Phèdre (1677), are considered. The focus of enquiry is firstly on the unsettling effect that untamed animals have on the ordered human world as depicted in the seventeenth century, drawn from anthropologist Tim Ingold's distinction between two kinds of animality (domain and condition). It is secondly upon the way in which both painter and play-wright force us to view such destabilising spectacles through the multi-layered response of others. Included in the analysis are readings of Poussin by various commentators, most prominently T. J. Clark, and an examination of the loss of control of Hippolyte (whose name after all means 'horse liberator/loosener') over his horses. My final argument will hinge on the idea that the perilous interplay between man and beast reveals a world of ambiguity and uncertainty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a critique of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969's rule of interpretation concerning its application to plurilingual (tax) treaties, focusing on the concept that courts may in good faith rely on a single authenticated text for the purposes of routine interpretation as long as no difficulty arises in the form of an ambiguity or obscurity.
