AB  - The nexus between trade and peace has been an important and controversial topic among international relations analysts. The phrase 'trade promotes peace', mostly associated with liberal scholars, became rather relevant in the post-Cold War period, linking increased trade with peace-building and comprehensive improvement of relations between parties in conflict. In this paper, the authors argue that Serbia-Kosovo trade interdependence has played a very limited role in the peace-building process. Using data available since 2000, the authors find that relatively stable trade relations and an improved institutional free-trade framework (CEFTA 2006) has failed to prevent major political disputes between Serbia and Kosovo (such as violence of 2004 and promulgation of the Declaration of Independence in 2008). At the end, the article provides several alternative explanations as to why trade interdependence was not a key determinant for long-term peace between Serbia and Kosovo.

AB  - This paper analyses the highly contested concept of American exceptionalism, as described in the speeches of Barak Obama. The authors of the paper use discourse analysis to show that Obama is using the idea of American exceptionalism on two levels: US foreign policy and the US stance towards international law. Our conclusion is that Obama uses an implicit dual discourse in both these fields. Obama favours active US foreign policy, based on soft power instruments and multilateralism. He insists that American exceptionalism does not mean that the US can exempt itself from the norms of international law, however, he does not think the US should always have a very active foreign policy. He makes room for unilateral acting and the use of hard power instruments in foreign policy. He allows for the use of force even if is not in accordance with the norms of international law, when US national interests are threatened.
