  • The Hunt for Red October. Russia-Sweden Relations and a Missing Submarine
    The Hunt for Red October. Russia-Sweden Relations and a Missing Submarine By Israel Shamir Region: Europe, Russia and FSU Global Research, August 01, 2015 Theme: History These days, Sweden is all agog. In the midst of the coldest summer in living history that deprived the Swedes of their normal sun-accumulating July routine, the country plunged into an exciting search for a Russian submarine in the Stockholm archipelago, and (as opposed to the previous rounds of this venerable Swedish maritime saga) this time they actually found the beast. Now we know for certain the Russians had intruded into Swedish waters! The Swedish admirals and the Guardian journalists probably feel themselves vindicated, as they always said so. Does it matter that the U-boat was sunk one hundred years ago, in 1916? Surely it does not, for the Russians are the same Russians and the sea is the same sea! I would continue in the same vein and have a lot of fun, but many innocent readers (especially on the internet) are not attuned for irony. If they read Swift’sModest Proposal, they’d call the police. For the benefit of the reader in whom is no guile (John 1:47), I’ll say it in plain words: the Swedish Navy and the great British newspaper Guardian made fools of themselves again, as they blamed the Russian president Putin for sending a submarine that turned out to be a one hundred year old war relic. | 1 The U-boat calledSom (Catfish) had been built in the US in 1901 for the Russian Navy, served in World War I and went down with all hands in 1916.

    Defending Defending Oslo 8–11 August 2013 Democracy The 2013 NordMedia conference in Oslo marked the 40 years that had passed since the very first Nordic media conference. To acknowledge this 40-year anniversary, it made sense to have a conference theme that dealt with a major and important topic: Defending Democracy. Nordic Defending and Global Diversities in Media and Journalism. Focusing on the rela- tionship between journalism, other media practices and democracy, the plenary sessions raised questions such as: Democracy & Edited by What roles do media and journalism play in democratization • Kristin Skare Orgeret processes and what roles should they play? Nordic and Global Diversities How does the increasingly complex and omnipresent media in Media and Journalism • Hornmoen Harald field affect conditions for freedom of speech? This special issue contains the keynote speeches of Natalie Fenton, Stephen Ward and Ib Bondebjerg. A number of the conference papers have been revised and edited to become articles. Together, the articles presented should give the reader an idea of the breadth and depth of Edited by current Nordic scholarship in the area.

  • Submarine Intrusions in Swedish Waters During the 1980S by Bengt Gustafsson
    Parallel History Project on Cooperative Security (PHP) January 2011 E-Dossier, Submarine Intrusions in Swedish Waters During the 1980s www.php.isn.ethz.ch By Bengt Gustafsson Submarine Intrusions in Swedish Waters During the 1980s By Bengt Gustafsson The Truth is in the Eye of the Beholder Conspiracy theories, alternative explanations, and urban legends frequently play important roles in shaping public perceptions of high-profile events in history. Such alternative views are sometimes based on ideological preconceptions, the failure to appreciate the complexity of issues, or specific preconceptions about individuals, occupations, or institutions. In Sweden, the reception of what is known as ‘the submarine issue’ is a prominent example of such dynamics. The Swedish armed forces assert that from the middle of the 1970s until autumn 1992, foreign submarines repeatedly conducted intrusions far into Swedish territorial waters, including in the direction of the country’s naval bases. There was only one occasion on which the nation responsible for the incursion was successfully identified – when a Soviet Whiskey class submarine was discovered to have run aground in a bay just east of Karlskrona Naval Base in southern Sweden and was found on the morning of 28 October 1981. Journalists covered the event under headlines such as ‘Whiskey on the Rocks’. In Sweden, this event is known as the ‘U-137-incidenten’ *‘U-137 Incident’+ after the temporary designation given to submarine S-363 by the Soviet Union for the operation. In September of the previous year, the last Swedish destroyer in service, HMS Halland, had been deployed against a pair of submarines that were discovered in the outer Stockholm archipelago.

  • Dag Hammarskjöld Remembered
    It is now fi fty years since Dag Hammarskjöld left the world and the United Nations behind. Yet, with every passing year since his death, his stature grows and his worth along with his contribution becomes more apparent and meaningful. Dag Hammarskjöld Remembered | When Hammarskjöld was at its helm the United Nations was still a relatively young organization, fi nding its way in a post-war world that had entered a new phase, the cold war, for which there was no roadmap. He was a surprise choice as Secretary-General, a so-called “safe” choice as there was little expectation that this former Swedish civil servant would be more than a competent caretaker. Few imagined that Dag Hammarskjöld would embrace his destiny with such passion and independence and even fewer could have foreseen that he would give his life in service to his passion. But as Hammarskjöld himself stated: “Destiny is something not to be desired and not to be avoided – a mystery not con- A Collection Memories of Personal trary to reason, for it implies that the world, and the course of human history, have meaning.” Th at statement sums up his world view. Th is is a volume of memoirs written by people who knew Hammarskjöld. We hope that these memories succeed in imparting to those who never knew or worked with Dag Hammarskjöld the intrinsic fl avour of this unusual, highly intelligent, highly complex individual who believed deeply in the ability of people, especially their ability to aff ect the world in which they live. He once refl ected: “Everything will be all right – you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.” Today that advice rings as true as ever.

This action culminated several years of a fundamental reorientation of Finnish security policy as Finland moved from the neutrality imposed on it by the Soviet Union to a policy with a priority on European integration through the European Union. Finland, in joining the EU, has retained its independent defense and security posture, even as it seeks to strengthen its standing abroad and gain added leverage, through the EU, for dealing with Russia.

  • Humanity Interrogated: Empire, Nation, and the Political Subject in U.S. and UN-Controlled POW Camps of the Korean War, 1942-1960
    Humanity Interrogated: Empire, Nation, and the Political Subject in U.S. and UN-controlled POW Camps of the Korean War, 1942-1960 by Monica Kim A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Penny M. Von Eschen, Chair Associate Professor Sarita See Associate Professor Scott Kurashige Associate Professor Henry Em, New York University Monica Kim 2011 For my parents Without whom, this never would have been written ii Acknowledgements It has been my incredible fortune that a vision shared also means a life shared. And much life has been shared in the fostering and development of this project, as it moved from idea to possibility to entirely unpredictable experiences in the field and in writing. My dissertation committee members have been involved with this project ever since the beginning. I am indebted not only to their commitment to and support of my ideas, but also to their own relationships with work, writing, and social justice. By their own examples, they have shown me how to ask the necessary, important questions to push my own scholarship constantly into a critical engagement with the world. Penny von Eschen has granted me perhaps one of the most important lessons in scholarship – to write history unflinchingly, with a clarity that comes from a deep commitment to articulating the everyday human struggles over power and history. A wise teacher and an invaluable friend, Penny has left an indelible imprint upon this work and my life, and I am excited about working together with her on projects beyond this dissertation.

  • Kränkning Till "Fantasifull" Observatör. Replik Till Bror Stefenson Och Göran Wallen
    Från "säker" kränkning till "fantasifull" observatör. Replik till Bror Stefenson och Göran Wallen Ola Tunander ycket lite nytt framkommer i Bror Stefensons och Göran Wallens kritik M av min artikel om vetenskap och ubåtar i Forum navale (nr. 65). Både Stefenson och Wallen angriper mig för ting som jag aldrig har sagt, 1 och de utelämnar centrala frågor. Vad gäller signalspaningsbevisen har jag tidigare anslutit mig till Ubåtsutredningen 1995 och tar inte upp frågan här. När det gäller passagen av en undervattensfarkost vid Mälsten under ett fem timmar långt eldförbud den 13-14 oktober 1982 har jag behandlat den i detalj i mina böcker, och jag tvingas här helt enkelt att hänvisa till dem utan att gå in på sa­ ken närmare. Jag har vidare visat att centrala befälhavare inklusive ÖB vid flera tillfällen förordade eller gav order om eldtillstånd. De var villiga att ta risken med en allvarligt skadad eller t.o.m. sänkt farkost. Marinens interna utredning under amiral Gunnar Grandin skrev att eldförbuden infördes "utan kompe­ tens och kunskap" och att de kan ha bidragit till att ubåtarna undkom. 2 Även den politiska ledningen stödde eldtillstånd, medan förslag om eldförbud fram- Ola Tunander, f. 1948, fil dr, forskningsprofessor vid International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO). Deltog som civil expert i Ekeus ubåtsutredning Perspektiv på ubåtsfrågan: hanteringen av ubåtsfrågan politiskt och militärt SOU 2001: 85. Har skrivit ett flertal böcker om bl.a. geopolitik, militär strategi, säkerhetspolitik samt ubåtsfrågan i Sverige. 85 fördes av ett par amiraler.3 Jag har ställt mig frågan varför det var dessa amira­ ler som agerade med en sådan försiktighet, medan den sovjetiske ledaren Jurij Andropov uppmanade svenskarna att sänka ubåtarna så vi fick se vad som kom upp.4 I motsats till amiral Stefenson har jag redogjort för inte bara sovjetiska utan också för brittiska, amerikanska, västtyska och italienska dykarfarkoster och miniubåtar som förekommer i litteraturen.

  • Maktens Historieskrivning Och Forskarens
    Maktens historieskrivning och forskarens Ola Tunander ustafsson menar i sin replik i detta nummer av Forum navale att jag har G misstolkat dels en kommentar om Henry Kissinger i Lennart Ljungs dag­ bok, dels en kommentar som står att finna i en bok av den amerikanska speci­ alstyrkeofficeren Gary Stubblefield samt att jag skulle ha förvanskat en muntlig information från den danska amiralen J0rgen Bork. I dessa tre exempel tycker sig Gustafsson kunna läsa in en metodologisk svaghet. Om Gustafsson hade haft rätt hade det varit illa, men det hade inte berört kärnan i min argumenta­ tion som jag har presenterat i Forum navale. Gustafsson berör inte de bandin­ spelningar, signaler och bottenspår som är dokumenterade, och som pekar på en västlig eller amerikansk operation. Han berör inte dokumenterade uttalanden av ansvariga personer, tidigare försvarsministern Caspar Weinberger, 1 tidigare marinministern Keith Speed2, tidigare chefen för den militära underrättelse• tjänsten John Walker3 och tidigare svenske armechefen Nils Sköld, som jag har presenterat i både böcker och artiklar och som bekräftar västliga operationer. Gustafsson berör endast ting som kan vara nog så intressanta men som är mer perifera för min argumentation. Problemet är att han misstar sig även här.
