    * From Indifference to 19-12-2003 17:26 Pagina 1 NORBERT BOTH NORBERT NORBERT BOTH Fr om Indifference to Entrapment to om Indifference The Yugoslav crisis represents a formidable foreign policy challenge to many Western and Islamic government bureaucracies. From Indifference to Entrapment deals with the question of how the Netherlands faced up to this challenge during the years 1990-1995. It was during this period that the crisis erupted into armed conflict and the single worst war crime in Europe since the end of World War II took place in the ‘safe area’ of Srebrenica. The role of the Netherlands is particularly interesting, as the country held the EC/EU Presidency during the recognition debate in 1991 and supplied the peacekeeping presence in Srebrenica. The questions addressed in this book include: Did early warning work? What role did the Dutch Presidency (July-December 1991) play in the recognition debate? What motiv- ated the Dutch opposition to the Vance-Owen Peace Plan? Why did the Netherlands become From Indifference entrapped, as symbolised through its isolated peacekeeping commitment to Srebrenica? Finally, what can this story tell us about the ability of small and medium powers to in- fluence international affairs? This study is based on interviews with key players, including former Cabinet Minis- ters, and on documents from the Netherlands Ministry to Entrapment of Foreign Affairs, made available under the Dutch ‘freedom of information act’.

    Foreign Affairs and Economic Relations Foreign Affairs and Economic Relations with Southern Africa Non-Alignment Through diplomacy and pragmatism-but also a mix of compliance and fortune- Sweden managed to stay outside the armed conflicts during both the First and the Second World Wars. As a result, Sweden has enjoyed unbroken peace since 1814, a unique situation in modern world history. Although the roots of neutrality go back to the early 19th century,1 it was with the division of Europe into two blocs after the Second World War that the guiding foreign policy principles of non- alignment were laid down, commonly expressed as 'non-participation in alliances in peacetime, aiming at neutrality in the event of war'. Once established, they were supported by the traditional parliamentary parties and followed during the period covered in the study. It was not until the demise of the Soviet Union and Sweden's membership of the European Union-effective from 1 January 1995-that the basic tenets were questioned and altered.2 Determining Sweden's post-war policy of non-alignment was its geographical and strategic position as a medium-sized country in northern Europe. From an economic point of view, Sweden was closely integrated with the West. Geo- politically, it was at the same time situated at the crossroads between major strategic super-power interests and in the immediate proximity of areas of vital demographic, economic and military importance to both the West and the East. As stated by the Swedish diplomat Sverker Astrtm, being so situated, it stands to reason that Sweden should have two aims, [namely] to avoid coming under the influence of the nearby super-power [and] avoid becoming the menacing outpost of the other.3 1 KristerWallbick: The Roots of Swedish Neutrality, The Swedish Institute, Stockholm, 1986.

  • Le Nigeria Et La Suisse, Des Affaires D'indépendance
    STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Analyser les rapports économiques et diplomatiques entre le Nigeria et la Suisse revient à se pencher sur des méca- nismes peu connus de la globalisation: ceux d’une relation Nord-Sud entre deux puissances moyennes et non colo- niales. Pays le plus peuplé d’Afrique, le Nigeria semblait en passe de devenir, à l’aube de son indépendance, une puissance économique continentale. La Suisse, comme d’autres pays, espérait profiter de ce vaste marché promis à une expansion rapide. Entreprises multinationales, diplo- mates et coopérants au développement sont au centre de cet ouvrage, qui s’interroge sur les motivations, les moyens mis en œuvre et les impacts des activités de chacun. S’y ajoutent des citoyens suisses de tous âges et de tous mi- lieux qui, bouleversés par les images télévisées d’enfants squelettiques durant la « Guerre du Biafra » en 1968, en- treprirent des collectes de fonds et firent pression sur leur gouvernement pour qu’il intervienne. Ce livre donne une profondeur éclairante aux relations Suisse – Nigeria, ré- cemment médiatisées sur leurs aspects migratoires, ou sur les pratiques opaques de négociants en pétrole établis en Suisse. STEVE PAGE a obtenu un doctorat en histoire contempo- raine de l’Université de Fribourg et fut chercheur invité à l’IFRA Nigeria et au King’s College London.

    International Peace & Security Symposium 2011 －Challenges in Multi-dimensional PKO and Integrated Peace Missions－ 7(Wed) and 8(Thu) December 2011 Mita Tokyo Japan Peacekeeping Training and Research Center Joint Staff College The views expressed at the Symposium and in this publication are those of the participants, and do not necessarily represent the views of their organizations. Preface The "Japan Peacekeeping Training and Research Center" (JPC) was commissioned under the Joint Staff College in March 2010. After a preparatory period of about one year, it is a great honor and pleasure of all members of the JPC and the Joint Staff College to announce that the memorable first "International Peace and Security Symposium 2011" is held on 7 and 8 December in Tokyo. This symposium will have significant meaning as the first step toward the series of "International Peace and Security Symposium". The series is designed to enhance and facilitate knowledge, understanding, and perspectives on cutting edge issues among the most recent Peace and Security Activities conducted by the United Nations or relevant international frameworks. In each symposium, prominent experts and eminent scholars will be invited to present their insights and discuss the challenging issues, from the urgent and specific to latent and cross-cutting. Emergent interdisciplinary approaches from practical experts and academics are expected to bring the more profound perspectives to all participants on the current or future peace operations in the broad contexts in international societies. This year's symposium will highlight the general perspective of current UNPKO as the theme "Challenges in Multi-dimensional PKO and Integrated Peace Missions".
