  • Otto Stenrothista Alexander Stubbiin
    1 Ulkoasiainministeriön juhlaseminaari 27.5. 2008 Klaus Törnudd Otto Stenrothista Alexander Stubbiin Ulkoasiainministeriössä on alusta lähtien ollut paljon töitä. Suomen ensimmäinen ulkoasiainministeri Otto Stenroth on muistelmissaan kertonut miten hän nimityksen saatuaan toukokuun lopussa 1918 joutui melkein epätoivon valtaan, kun asioiden ja puheille pyrkijöiden lukumäärä oli valtava, eikä työvoimaa ollut riittävästi Sisällissota oli silloin juuri takana, valkoinen osapuoli oli voittanut, ja asioita ryhdyttiin järjestämään koeteltuja eurooppalaisia tapoja noudattaen. Suomessa rekrytoitiin nopeasti vasta perustettuun ulkoasiaintoimituskuntaan nuoria kyvykkäitä henkilöitä. Vanhempia, itsenäisyysliikkeessä ansioituneita miehiä lähetettiin edustajiksi ulkomaille. Lisäksi lähetettiin virkamies Tukholmaan tutustumaan Ruotsin ulkoministeriön organisaatioon ja toimintaan sekä kutsuttiin salaneuvos Karl Müller Saksasta antamaan diplomatian työmuotoja ja käytäntöjä koskevia neuvoja. Suunnilleen samalla tavalla ovat mm. Baltian tasavallat joutuneet toimimaan 1990-luvun alussa itsenäisyyden palautumisen jälkeen. Alkuaikoina töissä oli seitsemäntoista virkamiestä, jotka ministeri Stenroth oli suurimmaksi osaksi itse valinnut. Valmiita malleja oli olemassa, mutta jonkun verran kompasteltiin kirjeenvaihdon muotoilussa ensimmäisen vuoden aikana. Tunnettu tapaus liittyy pitkään ranskankieliseen noottiin, jonka Suomen asiainhoitaja Tukholmassa kesäkuun lopulla vuonna 1918 luovutti Ison-Britannian lähettiläälle. Lähettilään ensi reaktio oli ollut, että

  • 'Plaza Moment' in United Nations Peacekeeping Practice, 1964–1966
    Journal of Global History (2021), 16: 2, 227–245 doi:10.1017/S1740022821000048 ARTICLE Reputation on the (green) line: revisiting the ‘Plaza moment’ in United Nations peacekeeping practice, 1964–1966† Margot Tudor Department of Politics, College of Social Sciences and International Studies, University of Exeter, Penryn Campus, TR10 9FE, UK Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Appointing a United Nations (UN) mediator to work in tandem with the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) in March 1964 led to fundamental shifts in how the UN Secretariat inner circle orientated the organisation’s presence in Cyprus. The escalating crisis between the two communities in Cyprus and polit- ical pressure from UN member states to respond before Cold War superpower nations became engulfed, prompted the creation of UNFICYP and the recruitment of a UN mediator on 4 March 1964. This article argues that the UN leadership intended to restore member state trust following the controversial Congo mission (ONUC) and expand the organisation’s diplomatic agency through the innovation of deploying the dedicated mediator alongside the armed mission. However, the success of the meditator was diplomat- ically limited by the localised dynamics of the Cyprus conflict and the willingness of the Guarantor parties to surrender their sovereign imaginaries of post-colonial Cyprus. Ultimately, the experiment in field-based mediation forced the UN Secretariat leadership to acknowledge the incompatibility of appeasing all mem- ber states on one hand

I should like to make two brief observations on it. The first is that it remains only a tentative draft, and subject to revisions which I may suggest as well as those which may emerge from our discussions. This applies especially to the formulation of the general principles and guidelines which, with an introductory passage, come under the heading of "A suggested basis for discussion" from page 46 onwards. These principles and guidelines need further research and further careful examination, in which I will value the thoughts of yourself and your colleagues. My second observation is that, as you recall, the Security Council resolution of 4 March 1964 requires me to report to you, and not directly or necessarily to the Security Council. I feel that careful consideration will therefore need to be given to the question of whether, and in what form, you would wish any report from me to go before the Council, and, if so, the question of the timing of any such submission.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 m Library 1 and Economy Scieno F S 3 0 9 Abstract During the Cold War, neutral Finland shared a long border with the Soviet Union. Despite two wars against the Soviet Union (1939-1940 and 1941-1944), and the threat of communist takeover, Finland survived as an independent, democratic country with a market economy. When the Cold War started in the late 1940s, the United States government and the British Foreign Office began to view trade as a potential means of drawing Finland closer to the West and preventing it from falling under Soviet domination. The extensive evidence of this has led many historians to underline the role of political considerations in Western foreign economic policy towards Finland. The present work argues that the Cold War rhetoric of the British Foreign Office paints a misleading picture of British government policy.

Jennifer Leigh Novack London School of Economics and Political Science University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in International Relations This thesis examines Finnish and Swedish membership in the European Union since the two Nordic countries joined (along with Austria) in January 1995 to become “new kids on the European block.” The author compares the strategies that national decision-makers have pursued in EU policy-making to assess the nature and extent of their adaptation to the European Union. This analysis relies on case studies of three policy areas: 1) Economic and Monetary Union (with a focus on the decision on whether or not to adopt the Euro in the first wave); 2) relations with non-EU neighbours in Northern Europe (with particular attention given to EU enlargement and the Northern Dimension Initiative); and 3) public access to documents.

Great Britain had announced that because of her difficult economic position, no credit could be considered; the Finns therefore turned to the United States, a move that even the Soviets expected. At the beginning of November, the American Legation in Stockholm informed Washington that John Scott, correspondent of Time and Life magazines, had visited Risto Ryti, the Director of the Bank of Finland. Scott made a report of this meeting for the Stockholm Legation. In a Bank of Finland memorandum to Scott, it was stated that the Finns wished to have a 250 million dollar loan, paid in two instalments • 140 million dollars in 1945, 110 million dollars in 1946. According to information received by Scott, the USSR was in favour of these proposed loans to Finland.1 By requesting such large loans, Ryti may have been trying to demonstrate the apparently desperate nature of Finland's position after the armistice.
