A RUSSIAN VIEW IRINA ZVYAGELSKAYA 202 ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS 208 Foreword his second volume of Readings in European Security vividly reflects the continuing changes that profoundly affect the factors shaping the Tsecurity of the European continent. For a historian in the future, the work undertaken by the CEPS-IISS European Security Forum since 2001 will appear in sharp contrast to the sort of issues that were at the heart of security concerns during the 1970s and 1980s, dominated by East-West confrontation. Where neutron bombs and Pershing missiles reigned supreme alongside ‘approximate parity’ and ‘launch-on-warning’ policies (against the backdrop of the scholastics of deterrence theory), we now have an incredibly broad spectrum not only of issues – from the Greater Middle East to the defence industrial base – but also of levels of analysis. For example, the legitimacy of the use of force, in the form of preventive action, is not precisely of the same make as the specialist questioning of Turkey’s strategic position after the attacks of 11 September 2001. It isn’t so much that the issues presented in the Readings in European Security volumes are intrinsically ‘new’ in the sense that they never existed before; rather, they simply weren’t seen as first- order strategic questions to some extent. The current salience of the issues selected for discussion by the European Security Forum is the mechanical consequence of the disappearance of the overarching East-West conflict with the cold war, which leads to the (re)discovery of so-called ‘new’ problems. This discovery is notably the case with nuclear proliferation and the spread of ballistic missiles. Such quintessential ‘emerging threats’ are as old as the Manhattan Project and Operation Paper Clip.1 Much more fundamentally, however, two of the terms in the European Security Forum’s title have changed profoundly. First, the nature of the threats to international security have changed in their content, not simply by virtue of the disappearance of a set of state actors (the USSR, the Warsaw Pact and the Yugoslavian federation) or the changes involving another set of states (the democratisation of America’s East Asian allies, the runaway economic growth of China, etc.). More basically, the empowerment of non- state actors along with the other facets of the broad array of phenomena characterising ‘globalisation’ forces us to think anew about traditional issues, not least about those concerning proliferation, but also about the pre-emptive use of force and indeed (albeit from a very different point of view) the Greater Middle East. Although, in the latter case, there is little that is new about the topic as such – this is the region Zbigniew Brzezinski dubbed the 1 Operation Paper Clip was the American code name for the transfer of Nazi-era scientists from Germany to the US, France, the USSR and Britain after World War II. | i ii | READINGS IN EUROPEAN SECURITY ‘arc of crisis’ a quarter of a century ago – the challenges prevailing in, and posed by, that region are now directly linked to the fraught interaction between the forces of globalisation on the one hand, and the reaction to it on the other, with empowerment of non-state actors (civil society sometimes, and alas, al Qaeda no less) as a common factor. Even a topic such as the European defence industrial base has to be approached in a manner that would have been difficult to conceive 15 or 20 years ago. Not only do military requirements no longer drive technological innovation, but the future of the defence industry is increasingly tied to its ability – and the ability of its customers – to benefit from the galloping pace of the information revolution. Here too, the forces of globalisation tear away at the statist and national protections of Europe’s cold war-era defence industrial base. Indeed, the way in which we have to think about security is changing, because of the way the international system is changing. The rules of the game are being rewritten in a manner that can only be compared with the definitions in 16th and 17th century Europe of the extent and limits of state sovereignty. Second, while the conditions of security have been undergoing dramatic change, Europe has transformed itself no less radically, which has in turn raised new questions. Some of these European transformations are common to all societies, with Europe feeling the impact of globalisation no less than other parts of the world; and although Europe is an important actor of globalisation, the process of globalisation itself is not an intrinsically European product. Many of the changes are the result of an outside event, such as the collapse of the Soviet Union’s will to exist. Europe played a contributing role to undermining the Soviet Union’s ability and desire to function as an imperial power in the satellite nations of the Warsaw Pact as within its own borders. But ultimately, the processes undermining the Soviet empire, and notably the resistance of the captive nations, affected Europe more than Europe affected them. Conversely, the countries and the peoples of what is called the European Union were the prime movers of the gradual establishment of the quite unique multilateral construct arising from the European integration process – or, more precisely in its French formulation, la construction européenne. Through thick and thin, 25 European states are now part of an entity that is neither a superstate nor a superpower on the world scene (except in the area of foreign trade), yet the EU is much more than an international organisation. It is a sort of hybrid: the EU generates possibly more than 50% of the laws and rules under which its members are governed; however, it has not federalised traditional attributes of sovereignty such as diplomacy or an armed force – though it has created a single currency. It is not surprising that our Russian and American friends sometimes have difficulty in taking stock of this ‘neither fish nor fowl’ entity.

  • European Culture
    EUROPEAN CULTURE SIMEON IGNATOV - 9-TH GRADE FOREIGN LANGUAGE SCHOOL PLEVEN, BULGARIA DEFINITION • The culture of Europe is rooted in the art, architecture, film, different types of music, economic, literature, and philosophy that originated from the continent of Europe. European culture is largely rooted in what is often referred to as its "common cultural heritage”. • Because of the great number of perspectives which can be taken on the subject, it is impossible to form a single, all-embracing conception of European culture. Nonetheless, there are core elements which are generally agreed upon as forming the cultural foundation of modern Europe. One list of these elements given by K. Bochmann includes:] PREHISTORIC ART • Surviving European prehistoric art mainly comprises sculpture and rock art. It includes the oldest known representation of the human body, the Venus of Hohle Fel, dating from 40,000-35,000 BC, found in Schelklingen, Germany and the Löwenmensch figurine, from about 30,000 BC, the oldest undisputed piece of figurative art. The Swimming Reindeer of about 11,000 BCE is among the finest Magdalenian carvings in bone or antler of animals in the art of the Upper Paleolithic. At the beginning of the Mesolithic in Europe figurative sculpture greatly reduced, and remained a less common element in art than relief decoration of practical objects until the Roman period, despite some works such as the Gundestrup cauldron from the European Iron Age and the Bronze Age Trundholm sun chariot. MEDIEVAL ART • Medieval art can be broadly categorised into the Byzantine art of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Gothic art that emerged in Western Europe over the same period.Byzantine art was strongly influenced by its classical heritage, but distinguished itself by the development of a new, abstract, aesthetic, marked by anti-naturalism and a favour for symbolism.

  • Brief Analysis of the Medieval and Modern European Cultures
    www.ccsenet.org/ass Asian Social Science Vol. 7, No. 3; March 2011 Brief Analysis of the Medieval and Modern European Cultures Hongli Shi Teaching Affairs Office, Department of Secondary School, South Campus, Dezhou University No. 67 Youth League Road, Dezhou 253000, Shandong, China E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Irrationality of the medieval culture in the Dark Ages gave birth to the bright modern European culture and the modern European culture had more rational, scientific, secular and individualist characteristics. The progress in the culture meanwhile promoted the progresses in other aspects of politics, economy and social life, etc. Keywords: Middle Ages, Christianity, Promote In the history of the European civilization, modern European civilization is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent stages. If we want to uncover the veil of modern culture, it might be well to compare the modern European culture and the medieval European culture. And we will easily find that they are essentially the collision of rational cognition and irrational cognition. 1. The medieval culture with irrational cognition "Irrationalism" means that the medieval Europe was controlled by the backward and unplanned cultural tradition, resulting in unclear boundaries between man and god, reality and otherworldliness. Examining the medieval culture, we may find that it emphasized too much the religious orison, heroism, romanticism and scholastic philosophy. All these show that the medieval European culture is lack of rational spirit. 1.1 Religion was indispensable to human life and Christianity was undoubtedly in a dominant place in the Middle Ages. The religion of Christianity has two sources. One is that the ancient Greek philosophical heritage, especially the new Platonism and Stoicism, is its ideological root.

  • Annex 1A Proposals for New Pilot Projects
    Ref. Ares(2017)3358018 - 04/07/2017 Annex 1a Proposals for New Pilot Projects A = PP/PA could be implemented as suggested by the Parliament; B = PP/PA might under certain conditions be fully or partially implementable but the project would need to be re-designed (it could be the case if part of the suggested action is already covered by a legal base); or more information might be needed before the Commission can assess the proposed project; C = PP/PA is fully covered by a legal base or the ideas are otherwise being addressed; D = PP/PA cannot be implemented or similar actions have already been carried out in the past. N° EP Proposal DG Commission Assessment Category Heading 1a 1 European Fund for FISMA The project might be partially implementable if changes are implemented to its scope and proposed timing B Crowfunded due, inter alia, to avoid of overlaps with a proposal on Crowdfunding to be launched in the course of 2018. Investments Proposed by Maria However, as a new related commitment was adopted (on 08/06/2017) in the CMU Mid-Term Review, the Spyraki project could be used to identify best practices in supply chain finance (e.g. invoice trading). Many start-ups and innovative SMEs are under-collateralised and fail due to short-term cash flow problems, while having a sustainable business model in the long-term. The amount needed for such a project should be reduced down to 500.000€ (250.000€). Given the clear commonalities between n°1 and n°107, the EC will consider the possibility of a joint implementation by giving a specific focus on SMEs' access to finance, should more that one of those PP be finally adopted by the EP.

  • MOHSEN MOSTAFAVI MOBASHER, the Iranian Diaspora: Challenges, Negotiations, and Transformations (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2018)
    Mashriq & Mahjar 7, no. 1 (2020), 86–89 ISSN 2169-4435 MOHSEN MOSTAFAVI MOBASHER, The Iranian Diaspora: Challenges, Negotiations, and Transformations (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2018). 284 pp. $45.00 cloth. REVIEWED BY SAHAR RAZAVI, California State University, Sacramento, email: mailto:[email protected] Mobasher’s volume on the Iranian diaspora offers insights into a variety of diasporic Iranian communities, all in the West with the exception of one study on the Iranian experience in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The book aims to expand existing knowledge about Iranians in diaspora, expanding the field beyond previous studies which were small in number and limited in scope, and thus not generalizable to larger populations. While the chapters of the book are collected in a volume presenting a range of experiences in this particular community, taken together the book offers a glimpse into what Mobasher calls a “unique” identity in which the country of origin and the country of destination combine to form a new way to be Iranian. This new kind of “Iranianness” is in a constant state of construction and reconstruction as Iranians navigate the sometimes precarious social and political landscapes in which they find themselves. Sahar Sadeghi’s study on the sense of belonging and foreignness of first- and second-generation Iranians in Germany confronts segmented assimilation theory, which suggests that by the second generation, immigrants’ acculturation to the host country takes on the existing social stratification in their new societies. Iranians in Europe generally have high levels of human capital, including wealth and educational achievement, but this has not led to greater levels of integration in places like Germany, where marginalization from the opportunity networks enjoyed by “ethnic” Germans.

When I look back, as a young, aspiring historian, the works within the journal established a realistic standard for academic excellence in my mind. Publishing a work in The MSU Undergraduate Historian was from then on a goal of my collegiate career. The journal, unfortunately, did not continue after the publication of Volume 5 in Spring 2010. And while I may never have had the opportunity to join the ranks of the great undergraduate academics that have authored works in these journals, I believe the spirit of that dream has been realized.

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FULU ARCHAEOLOGICA 13, 1990 Cią Avaliahvili ТНК ELEMENTS OF THE KÜLKHIDA-KOBAN ART IN THE SCYTHIAN "ANIMAL STYLE" The problem of interrelation between the two styles, such as the Scythian "animal style" and the Caucasian Art, especially, that of Kolkhida-Koban, had not been the subject of special ex- ploration up to the present times. But in spite of this situa- tion there were a number of interesting considerations about these problems and all of them came up to two opposite points of view. According to one of them, the Scythian "animal style" is originated from the Caucasian Art, especially from that of Kol- khida-Xoban , and according to the others, this very style has nothing to do with the south Caucasian Art'. As to us, the Scythian "animal style" is not originated from the Kolkhida-Koban bronze culture, but at the same time, in the process of cultivation of some of its definite features, there are felt the elemente of the above mentioned art. First of all in these forms there are included the feature? of different animals and all of them are given in one wholb full plastic composition.

However, local conditions and meanings of ‘diversity’ are highly dissimilar and changing. For these reasons, deeper and more com- parative understandings of pertinent concepts, processes and phenomena are in great demand. This series will examine multiple forms and configu- rations of diversity, how these have been conceived, imagined, and repre- sented, how they have been or could be regulated or governed, how different processes of inter-ethnic or inter-religious encounter unfold, how conflicts arise and how political solutions are negotiated and prac- ticed, and what truly convivial societies might actually look like. By com- paratively examining a range of conditions, processes and cases revealing the contemporary meanings and dynamics of ‘diversity’, this series will be a key resource for students and professional social scientists. It will repre- sent a landmark within a field that has become, and will continue to be, one of the foremost topics of global concern throughout the twenty-first century.
