The range of European integration broadened considerably during the first decade of the 21st century with the accession of 12 new countries to the European Union. Spatial as well as so- cio-economic preconditions of the Union structure development became much more complex. At the same time, the situation of numerous European regions changed radically both in the geopolitical and socio-economic con- text. The volume is divided into three parts dealing with: (I) European Inte- gration Process and the New Face of European Regional Policy and Trans- border Regions, (II) European Dimension of Minority Problems and Multi- cultural Regions and (III) Spatial and Political Problem Areas in Surround- ings of the Integrating EU. Border regions of the ‘old European Union’ and those of new members states found themselves in a special situation. The situation of Euroregional structures have changed. Transborder co-operation in many border regions did not go beyond perfunctory contacts and integration socio-economic structures of these regions was relatively slow. Moreover, problems related to national minorities existing in the new EU member states (in Poland, Slo- vakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Baltic Counties and Cyprus) emerged more viv- idly. Political and spatial processes taking place in countries and regions surrounding the broadened European Union also call for and evaluation and revaluation. The exceptionally complicated political and territorial transfor- mation took place in the Balkan countries, which gradually regained their independence and only embarked on the process of integration with the European Union. The first section of the volume, which includes articles prepared by a group of specialists who are concerned with problems of political geogra- phy and regional policy, analyses French Border Regions in the Context of European Integration: the Development of Euroregions (Marie-France 6 Foreword Gaunard-Anderson), Romanian Euroregions in the Process of European Inte- grations – a case study of Serbian border (Jan Wendt), Cross-Border Coop- eration Between Romania and Bulgaria before the EU enlargement (Alexan- dru Ilieş, Jan Wendt, Vasile Grama). This sections includes as well a presen- tation of the Region of Łódź in the Regional Structure of the EU (Tomasz Mazurek) and Overseas Departments of France: Administrative European Regions far from Europe (Andrea Székely). The second part of the volume concentrates on the problem of minorities and the multicultural heritage of localities on the European scale. There are presentations of the way to the self-government on the example of some is- sues from history and present day of the Basques (Andrzej Rykała), then the minority region Lusatia in the Eastern Germany heavily influenced by Ger- man reunification process and historical preconditions (Joanna Szcze- pankiewicz-Battek) and the Attitudes of Polish Minority towards the Euro- pean Union in the Czech Republic (Tadeusz Siwek), the tradition and the present day of multicultural Warmia and Masuria (Izabela Lewandowska). The last two articles in this section characterize Europeization of the cultural landscape of Upper Silesia (Alicja Szajnowska-Wysocka) and Multicultural places as a new dimension in the regional space in the globalization period (Marcin Wójcik). The third set of texts contains considerations on Spatial Problems of Cri- sis Areas and Their Perspectives of Integration (Jernej Zupančič) and Politi- cal and Geographical Questions of the EU Accession Process of Post- Yugoslav Countries (Zoltán Hajdú). These problems are also addressed in the work concerning Bosnia and Herzegovina between Dayton regionalisa- tion and post-Dayton centralization (Bostjan Rogelj) and in the paper on the Changing Role of the Geographical Determinism in Modern and Postmodern Military/Peacekeeping Operation in Europe and the EU (László Békési). The whole set of articles presented in this volume refers to problems and dilemmas faced by the regional policy of the European union. The separate texts bring us some of the questions which require, or will require a solution in the process of European integration.

INTRODUCTION Regions are becoming even more powerful in Europe and they take a real part in the process of European integration. Among them, regions located along borders play a very special role: they are no longer strategic places for the defence of a nation but strategic places to experiment a ‘new Europe’, a unified Europe. Nowadays, people who live there, cross the border each day to work, to go shopping, for entertainment, go to the cinema, to the thea- tre, and so on. These regions are real cross-border labour markets and com- mon life areas but they are under different laws and use different languages. The EU and its members are conscious that these regions experience the con- struction of an ‘integrated Europe’ and they encourage cross-border co- -operation in order to achieve the main aim of the EU: to maintain an eco- nomic and social cohesion all over the Union. What is the situation of border regions in France? Are they developing cross-border co-operation like Euroregions which appeared along so many borders in Europe? We will analyse how French border regions take part 8 Marie-France Gaunard-Anderson today in this kind of cross-border co-operation and if they are a way for a better integrated Europe and finally, considering the new ‘technical’ tools (juridical, institutional and financial)

Eaton 1 Abstract Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 by Nicole M. Eaton Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair “Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948,” looks at the history of one city in both Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, follow- ing the transformation of Königsberg from an East Prussian city into a Nazi German city, its destruction in the war, and its postwar rebirth as the Soviet Russian city of Kaliningrad. The city is peculiar in the history of Europe as a double exclave, first separated from Germany by the Polish Corridor, later separated from the mainland of Soviet Russia. The dissertation analyzes the ways in which each regime tried to transform the city and its inhabitants, fo- cusing on Nazi and Soviet attempts to reconfigure urban space (the physical and symbolic landscape of the city, its public areas, markets, streets, and buildings); refashion the body (through work, leisure, nutrition, and healthcare); and reconstitute the mind (through vari- ous forms of education and propaganda).

The article was noticed and included in the II edition of Stefan Kieniewicz’s preeminent work on the January Uprising2. A few years later, I advanced a thesis claiming that Kętrzyński restored his Polishness in an evolutionary way, and not – as he wrote – as a result of his sister’s letter in which she revealed that their father’s name was Kętrzyński, and so they were Poles, not Winklers – Germans3. In 1968, in the Os- solineum Library in Wrocław, I found 5 of his notebooks with his juvenile poetry. At that time, together with Antoni Łukaszewski, retired employee of the Region- al State Archives in Olsztyn, we could support the view established in 1970 with new sources.4 Since that time, several decades have passed.

All translations are my own unless specified in the text. i ABSTRACT German Politics and the 'Jewish Question', 1914-1919 Lucia Juliette Linares The First World War confronted German politicians with a range of unprecedented, vital questions in the spheres of domestic as well as foreign policy. As the fortunes of war shifted, so did borders, populations and national allegiances. In a period of acute and almost constant political crisis, the German government faced issues concerning citizenship, minority rights, religious identity, nationhood and statehood. My dissertation analyses these issues through the prism of the so-called 'Jewish Question'.

Brno: Masarykova univerzita, Filozofická fakulta, Historický ústav, 2010. 54 s. Vedoucí diplomové práce doc. PhDr. Vladimír Goněc, CSc. Anotace Diplomová práce „Těšínsko v systému euroregionů“ pojednává o vzniku a funkčnosti institucí euroregionů na území historického Těšínska. Problematika regionů se v současnosti dostává na přední místa zájmu v Evropské unii. Euroregiony bývaly v minulosti popisovány příliš optimisticky a nekriticky, v zápalu jakési euforie, toho se tato práce snaží vyvarovat. Autor zkoumá nejprve genezi a vývoj instituce euroregionů v západní Evropě. Dále si všímá kulturně-historických předpokladů, majících vliv na vznik euroregionů na Těšínsku. Posléze popisuje dva vzniklé euroregiony na území Těšínska, srovnává je především z hledisek historických, kulturních, geografických a hospodářských. V závěrečné fázi se snaží nastínit nejmarkantnější problémy nově vznikajících euroregionálních struktur a jejich vzájemnou rivalitu.

    The Establishment of Opolski University in 1994 Was the Result Of

    The establishment of Opolski University in 1994 was the result of efforts and intellectual achievements of several generations of Opolski Silesia's inhabitants, who desired to have the highest-rank scholarly and educational institution in the European civilisation, the university. Opolski University invokes the tradition related to the attempts to create a Piast university by Duke George II of Brieg in Brzeg in the 16th century and by Prince Charles Habsburg in Nysa in the 17th century. It also looks back to the tradition of the 19th-century Landwirtschaftliche Akademie Proskau (Agricultural Academy of Prószków, 1847-1881) in the vicinity of Opole. It was, however, the combination of two local institutions of higher learning that led to the creation of Opolski University, namely, Wyższa Szkoła Pedagogiczna im. Powstańców Śląskich (Higher School of Pedagogy named after Silesian Insurgents) with its 44-year history (1950-1994), one of the best Polish teachers' colleges, and the local branch of Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski (Catholic University of Lublin) which had existed here since 1981 and was based on the several decades of experience of Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne (Higher Seminary) in Nysa with its academic staff made up of the members of the former Faculty of Theology at Uniwersytet Jana Kazimierza (John Casimir University in Lvov). The half century of academic Opole, whose emanation is Opolski University, was the common effort of oustanding intellectuals who arrived in Silesia from distant lands after WW2, chiefly from the lost eastern

  • Difference Between Eastern and Western Polish Euroregions

    Difference Between Eastern and Western Polish Euroregions

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN POLISH EUROREGIONS Jan Wendt* After the year 1998 when the world order was broke down, the modern Europe came into a new qualitatively phase of the integration processes' development. The new challenges, new communications techniques, migration processes, ideas' diffusions create more and more links between countries and local societies. The progress of cultural and economical integration is creally going into globalisation and universalisation the model of life. However, the globalisation doesn't create any efficiently working mechanism of performing law and institution order because its subjects try to - for the sake of defending own businesses - unique the instituali- sation of the authority on the above country level (Malendowski W., Szczepaniak M., 2000). Therefore, only the increase of transborder co-operation can make the authority desistance the opposition which exists in this matter (Schulc E., 1996). The euroregional co-operation, which is developed very well in UE, can lessen the distance between countries which are in UE (Malendowski W., Ratajczak M., 1998) and countries which pretend to be in there and liquidate the feeling of being in the suburban of the Western Europe. The co-operation also gives possi- bilities of knowing the rules of multilateral co-operation and democratic procedures for the post communistic societies (Bernatowicz G.; 1994). So, the co-operation should be one of the priorities for the UE candidate countries. What is more, the European Commission and its different kinds of helping programmes like PHARE help the euroregions activities. It seems that Poland is a regional leader in creating new euroregions in Central Europe.

  • Katowice –Our City

    Katowice –Our City

    Katowice –our city POLSKA Warszawa Katowice The Upper Silesia region was called ‘a jewel in the crown’ in one of the films made by Kazimierz Kutz, an outstanding Polish director. For centuries, this important and attractive region has been heavily urbanized and the most industrialized part of Poland due to natural conditions favourable for coal mining and metallurgy. Katowice, the capital of Upper Silesia, with a population of 323,200, is now one of the greatest economic, scientific, cultural, political and administrative centre in Poland.
