ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER LATVIAN SPORTSPEOPLE REPRESENTATION IN ENGLISH AND LATVIAN WIKIPEDIAS Ieva Rudzinska Latvian Academy of Sport Education Address: 333 Brivibas Street, Riga, LV-1006, Latvia Phone: 37167543445, fax: +37167543480 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The goal was to study Latvian sportspeople representation in English and Latvian Wikipedias in 2015. The analyses allowed identifying three main Latvian sportspeople related categories in English Wikipedia: “Latvian sportspeople”, “List of Latvian sportspeople” and “Latvian sports related lists”, a category “Latvijas sportisti” in Latvian Wikipedia. In “Latvian sportspeople” 1018 sportspeople were listed by family names, starting with Artis Ābols and ending with Ainārs Zvirgzdiņš, by sports – from Latvian alpine skiers to Latvian weightlifters. In “List of Latvian sportspeople” were included 99 most notable Latvian sportspeople, representing 24 sports. The largest athlete frequency per sport (14) was in 3 sports: athletics, basketball and luge. From 5 to 10 sportspeople were in 6 sports: rowing, bobsleigh, volleyball, ice hockey, judo and tennis, 15 sports were represented by 1 to 4 athletes. In Latvian Wikipedia in the category “Latvijas sportisti” were 1186 sportspeople from 38 sports. Statistical analysis allowed finding moderate Pearson correlations between the numbers of sportspeople in the category “Latvian sportspeople” and “List of Latvian sportspeople”, EN (0.60; Sig.<0.01); “List of Latvian sportspeople”,

  • Competitive Identity for Nation of Latvia – Lessons to Learn from National Hockey Team ‘’Dinamo Riga’’
    ISSN 1822 – 8402 EUROPEAN INTEGRATION STUDIES. 2010. No 4 COMpETITIVE IDEnTITY fOR nATIOn Of LATVIA – LESSOnS TO LEARn fROM nATIOnAL HOCKEY TEAM ‘’DInAMO RIGA’’ Ainars Brencis, Juris Ozols School of Business Administration Turiba Abstract nowadays global competition could be seen not only in corporate level, but also is exists among nations. Competition among nations is in following sectors – foreign investment, export and tourism. As there is competition between nations, regions and cities (as it is among corporations) there will be always need for methods to increase subject’s competitiveness – this can be defined as a Competitive Identity (porter 1998). Term Competitive Identity is used as broader expression of brand management for nations, Cities and Regions. Higher marketing effort is needed for developing (emerging) nations, and nations without resources (natural or man made) representing absolute advantages. nation branding has emerged relatively recently as an important field in the domain of international marketing. Anholt 2007 states marketing quality depends on all the national stakeholders (virtually society – people) working together in creating competitive identity. Media could be involved only after all the stakeholders speak one language about their country. Communication can’t substitute positive change; it can only help change to happen faster. Latvian authorities too often start from the least efficient – communication. According to nation Brands Index (NBI) and City Brand Barometer, Latvia and its capital Riga, shares one of the last places – 35 to 40th (depending on research type and year) place from forty among other nations and cities around the World. After regaining independence and collapse of almost all the industry, there was little left for positioning Latvia as a nation, so fanning for ice hockey was spontaneous and very convenient way for local people to speak common language about their nation.

The 6 March 2011 poll in Estonia was the first election in post-communist Europe to feature an unchanged line-up of competing political parties, indicating a high level of political stability despite the financial and political turmoil that marked much of Europe in 2011 (Pettai et al. 2011). In contrast, the same year Latvia experienced its first early election, triggered by a referendum, on the recall of Parliament, called by the Latvian president in protest to a perceived ‘privatization of democracy in Latvia’ (Zatlers 2011). Moreover, the radical-right populist Visu Latvijai!/Tēvzemei un Brīvībai/LNNK (National Alliance of All for Latvia!/For Fatherland and Freedom/ Latvian National Independence Movement) almost doubled its share of the votes it won in the October 2010 regular election, and then subsequently took up government office in a new three-party coalition.

The advantages of the region are its relief, nature, clean air and wonderful people. Next to the Baltic Country of Lakes lies a country with a poetic name “Bella Dvina”. This country is located in the area where the river Dvina – Daugava flows, which is well known since ancient times for the trade route “from Varangians to Greeks”. Looking at the map, one can conclude, that inhabitants of three countries – Russia, Belarus and Latvia – can consider the Western Dvina for their own. Its flow begins in Russia, and goes through Belarus. As it flows into Latvia, it is no longer Dvina, but rather Daugava, which then flows into the Baltic Sea. Active tourism throughout the year, fascinating cultural events, and picturesque sceneries – all of this comprises a unique mosaic, which provides true visual and aesthetical enjoyment. We offer you to get acquainted with the Baltic Country of Lakes – Latgale in Latvia, Aukštaitija in Lithuania, as well as the “Bella Dvina” region, which includes Latgale in Latvia and part of Vitebsk region in Belarus.

  • Successful New Parties in the Baltic States: Similar Or Different?
    Successful new parties in the Baltic states: similar or different? Paper prepared for the conference ‘The Baltic States: New Europe or Old?’ University of Glasgow, 22-23 January 2004 Allan Sikk Department of Political Science University of Tartu Ülikooli 18, Tartu 50090 Estonia [email protected] http://www.ut.ee/SOPL/cv/sikke.htm Tel +372 7 375 668 Fax +372 7 375 154 DRAFT VERSION – PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE WITHOUT PERMISSION Introduction Last elections in the Baltic states witnessed a rise of strong and significant new parties. In October 2000 parliamentary elections in Lithuania, the New Union – Social Liberals (Naujoji Sąjunga – Socialliberalai) led by Artūras Paulauskas, was supported by 19.6% of the electorate in the proportional representation part thereby coming second after the Algirdas Brazauskas’ Social-Democratic Coalition. It gained 28 seats, being the third largest group in the Seimas as the Liberal Union was more successful in the single mandate constituencies. Nevertheless, the New Union was an equal partner in the governing coalition, Paulauskas becoming the chairman of the parliament. Furthermore, it has been in the Lithuanian cabinet ever since, while the Liberal Union was forced to leave after only eight months in office and was replaced by the Social Democrats. Two years later, in October 2002 Saeima elections, the New Era (Jaunais Laiks) surfaced becoming the most popular party in Latvia. It won 24% of the votes and 26 seats in the 100-strong parliament. Despite being in a difficult position concerning finding appropriate coalition partners, the New Era leader Einars Repse succeeded in putting together a government rather swiftly (in less than three weeks, Ikstens 2002) and becoming the prime minister.

  • Law and Order Do Not Always Go Together. Vigilantism As Citizens Attempt to Enforce Order Outside the Law Is Rising
    “Law and order do not always go together. Vigilantism as citizens attempt to enforce order outside the law is rising. Comprehensive studies about the phe- nomenon have been lacking. The 17 case studies and the conceptual and com- parative discussion by the editors go a long way to fill the void. A must read in these times of rising populism and xenophobia.” - Prof. em. Alex P. Schmid, Editor-in-Chief of ‘Perspectives on Terrorism’ and former Officer-in-Charge of the Terrorism Prevention Branch of UNODC. “Theoretically astute, empirically sound, this volume is the authoritative source on the growing phenomena of vigilantism around the world. This study is essential reading for anyone who is interested in understanding the changing nature of coercion, and the shifting relations of social and political order in the 21st century.” - James Sheptycki, York University, Canada. “Vigilantism poses a serious threat to democracy. It is therefore an important, yet understudied phenomenon in criminology. This edited volume raises important issues regarding the conditions under which different kinds of vigilantism emerge. Using case studies from different countries, this edited volume provides challenging new insights which are of importance to both academics and policy makers.” - Prof. Lieven Pauwels, Ghent University, Belgium. “This book is richly researched and extremely timely. The spread of vigilantism in our increasingly fractured world should stimulate debate about the nature and significance of state power, whether ‘private’ vigilante actors are in fact detached from their governments, and when right-wing vigilantism becomes a necessary component of state Fascist operations.” - Prof. Martha K. Huggins, Tulane University (emerita), USA.
