Acknowledgments This report was written by Rachel Neild, senior advisor on ethnic profiling and police reform at the Open Society Justice Initiative, and Professor Lee Bridges of the University of Warwick, UK. Extensive research and case studies were contributed by Lanna Hollo, Rebekah Delsol, and Sebastian Kohn. Shamus Brennan also provided research support. The report was edited by David Berry, James Goldston, Indira Goris, and Robert Varenik. In the research process for this report, we reached out to police authorities and officers across the European Union, as well as to non-discrimination bodies, and experts from academia and civil society. We are enormously grateful to the many experts who provided materials for the case studies and reviewed our description of their work. We appreciate their frank assessments of the challenges of introducing new practices, and tackling hard subjects, and hope that this handbook can serve to continue this conversation and deepen these practices. We consulted too many experts to name everyone individually in these acknowledgements, and some sources requested that they not be named. Some of the research for this report was conducted through a project funded by the Fundamental Rights Agency of the European Union (EU FRA). As noted in the references in the text, certain case studies in this report were first published in the FRA’s 2010 Guide on Understanding and Preventing Discriminatory Ethnic Profiling. We are grateful to both the University of Warwick and to the Fundamental Rights Agency for their collaboration and support in searching out examples of good policing practices from across the European Union. As is frequently the case, events on the ground have, in some settings, overtaken the publication schedule of this report. Significant reforms in the UK in particular have brought new standards and developments that have superseded some of the practices 3 described in this report. The case studies presented here are not intended as a current historical record, but rather as a compilation of good practice that may serve as an example of positive approaches that can be drawn on from one setting to another. The Open Society Justice Initiative bears sole responsibility for any errors or misrepresentation. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Table of Contents List of Case Studies 7 Introduction 13 I.

For commercial purposes a written permission must be obtained. ISBN 978–9985–9672–7–0 Dear Reader, The current survey was conducted in 2006 for Archimedes Foundation and the Esto- nian Ministry of Education and Research as part of the project EST-MOBILITY-NET, funded from the 6th EU Framework Pro- gramme for Research and Technological Estonia Development. The survey gives an overview of researcher mobility in Estonia and the factors that influence mobility, and draws parallels with similar surveys conducted in other countries. For the first time the survey studies the motivation of foreign researchers for coming to Estonia and the main reasons of Estonian researchers to go abroad to do research and to return to Estonia. The purpose of the project EST-MOBILITY- NET was to set up in Estonia a network of mobility centres giving mobile researchers and their families up-to-date information and support in all aspects related to mo- bility. The Estonian network, consisting of Archimedes Foundation, the Estonian Acad- emy of Sciences, the University of Tartu, Tallinn Technical University, the Estonian University of Life Sciences, and Tallinn Uni- versity, is a part of the pan-European ERA- MORE Network.

  • The Case of Estonia Raul Eamets
    Restricted macroeconomic policy and flexible labour market: the case of Estonia Raul Eamets First draft Introduction Following paper gives a brief overview of general macroeconomic developments in Estonia during 1992-2009 with focus on labour market and labour policy issues. We try to shed the light on factors influencing growth and explain labour market flexibility as one of the major factor of fast growth and economic adjustment. Radical and rapid introduction of market oriented institutions accompanied by high social costs are the most characteristic features of Estonian economic reforms. In general, the following characteristics describe Estonian economic policy options in 90-s: annually balanced state budget, fixed exchange rate and currency board type of monetary system, flexible labour market liberal trade policy, openness of economy, high speed of privatisation, flat income tax and low tax burden Important is that these policy options did not changed during different political coalitions. Despite of ideological platform of different parties, liberal economic policy low taxes, currency board arrangement and balanced budget has been always economic priority number one. This created trust and credibility and Estonia had one of the highest inflow of FDI per capita among post communist countries. But as result we can see also greater fall in output than in most CEE states, also relatively high inflation and very fast restructuring of economy. Also we can see increasing unemployment and drop of average nominal wages during economic recession. Because of annually balanced budget, low tax burden and currency board system we can claim that fiscal policy and monetary policy tools of government were very limited in Estonia.

  • Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe: the Adaptation of Finland's, Sweden's and Norway's Alcohol
    Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Nordic Alcohol Policy Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe in Europe The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe Policy Alcohol Nordic To what extent have Finland, Sweden and Norway adapted their alcohol policies to the framework imposed on them by the European Union and the European Economic Area since the mid-1990s? How has alcohol policies in the Nordic countries evolved between 1994 and 2013 and how strict are their alcohol policies in comparison with the rest of Europe? These are some of the main research questions in this study. Besides alcohol policies, the analyses comprise the development of alcohol consumption and cross-border trade with alcohol. In addition to a qualitative analysis, a RESEARCH quantitative scale constructed to measure the strictness of alcohol policies is RESEARCH utilised. The results from the study clearly corroborate earlier findings on the significance of Europeanisation and the Single Market for the development of Nordic alcohol policy. All in all, alcohol policies in the Nordic countries are more liberal in 2013 than they were in 1994. The restrictive Nordic policy tradition has, however, still a solid evidence base and nothing prevents it from being the base for alcohol policy in the Nordic countries also in the future.
