The UK referendum on membership of the European Union was a major preoccupation for CCBS given the implications for various exchanges across the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as well as relations between Ireland and the UK as a whole and between the UK and the rest of Europe. Work on remembrance was attuned to some of the events to mark the centenary of 1916, with the Centre involved in a number of occasions of historical importance. A more personal remembrance is of our own late Board member, Ann McGeeney, as documented in the comprehensive and thoughtful tribute in this Journal by her friend and colleague, Kathy Walsh. I personally knew Ann well when she was the Joint Manager of Border Action and I was the Director of the Combat Poverty Agency. Ann was an exceptional networker, skilled in her ability to link people and issues together to achieve a common purpose, which made her such an effective cross-border worker and peace builder. I was delighted when she agreed to join the Board of the Centre for Cross Border Studies where she brought first hand cross-border experience and community development practice to the organisation. One the projects we were working on when she became ill was engaging with the Board members and staff to prepare the Centre’s vision, mission and strategic plan. I hope you take the opportunity to read Kathy’s insightful article in the Journal. The remainder of this Foreword provides a record of the Centre’s main activities over the past year, which has been busy and diverse. I’d like to take this opportunity to place on record my appreciation of the quality of the work carried out by Ruth and her staff team of Anthony, Mairead, Annmarie, Eimear and Tricia, and for their commitment to the work of the Centre. I’d like to thank Martin for his contribution to the work of the Centre and to wish him well in his new role. I’d also like to thank the Board members for their invaluable advice and support in their role of providing governance and guidance to the Centre. I acknowledge the contribution of our partners and our funders, particularly the Irish Government and the Northern Ireland Executive, without whom we would be unable to address cross-border issues to the extent that we do. The Centre’s Annual Conference for 2016 – Bordering Between Unions: What Does the UK Referendum on Europe Mean for Us? – set the agenda for the first half of the year, leading up to the Referendum on 23 June. We recognised then that a referendum result taking the UK out of the EU would have enormous consequences for everyone living on this island. 4 I The Journal of Cross Border Studies in Ireland 2016 Our conference set the shape not only of the Centre’s contribution to the pre- Referendum discussions, but for the wider conversation. The Centre was delighted to welcome speakers and attendees from across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and beyond for what was a thoroughly successful and informative event. Almost half of all those participating were elected representatives and public officials from all levels of government (despite the clash with campaigning for the imminent election in Ireland). Likewise, our speakers brought considerable knowledge and expertise to the conversation: these included Mr Dáithí O’Ceallaigh, Former Irish Ambassador to the UK; Dr Martin Mansergh, Former Minister of State; Dr Mary C Murphy, University College Cork; Mr Humza Yusaf MSP, Minister for Europe and International Development, Scottish Government; and Vice-President of the European Parliament, Mairead McGuinness, MEP. Likewise, panel discussions on the possible socio-economic, legal, political and constitutional implications of a UK withdrawal from the UK were informed by leading academics, politicians and practitioners. (The 2017 Annual Conference, Building and Maintaining Relationships Within and Across these Islands, will be in the Armagh City Hotel on 23 and 24 February.) In partnership with Cooperation Ireland, CCBS produced a series of briefing papers. Commencing with The UK Referendum on Membership of the EU: What does it mean for Northern Ireland?, additional briefing papers addressed issues including free movement and citizen mobility, the Human Rights Act, cross-border cooperation, peace-building, regional development, the constitutional issues, citizen mobility issues, EU funding and the wider economic and trade issues. All of the briefing papers and our submissions are available on our website. The CCBS website has been identified by the National Library of Ireland for inclusion in its Web Archive with the aim of preserving Irish websites of scholarly, cultural and political importance. The Library is creating a collection of sites relating to the EU Brexit referendum. It will be made available through the Library’s website www.nli.ie. Now that the votes have been counted we continue to face uncertain times; while in ‘limbo’ waiting for Article 50 to be invoked and during the two years (or possibly more) ahead while the UK government negotiates its departure. Certainly, the potential impacts will be enormous on both sides of the border and it is essential that the voices of everyone living on the island of Ireland – irrespective of whether they are citizens of the UK, Ireland, the EU or elsewhere – are heard, their concerns respected and their interests protected as negotiations proceed. Following the vote and throughout the second half of 2016, the Centre’s activities have thus been dominated by ‘Brexit’. CCBS has responded to numerous requests from a range of media and press outlets as well as invitations to speak at seminars and conferences. The Centre and a number of other organisations involved in cross- border cooperation in the Irish Border Region came together in September to discuss the challenges for cross-border cooperation in the context of the recent referendum decision. We are concerned that the commitments for cross-border cooperation embedded in the

  • The Election Attitudes Among the Polish Minority Inhabiting the Region of Zaolzie in the Czech Republic (1990-2018)
    https://doi.org/10.4316/CC.2020.01.008 THE ELECTION ATTITUDES AMONG THE POLISH MINORITY INHABITING THE REGION OF ZAOLZIE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC (1990-2018) Radosław ZENDEROWSKI Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw, Poland E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The paper analyses the election activity of the Polish inhabitants of the Zaolzie region (the Czech Republic) in the 1990-2018 period referring to national elections (Lower Chamber of Parliament, Senate, President of the Czech Republic) as well as local and regional elections. The theoretical section offers analyses of national and ethnic minorities as (collective) political actors. The empirical part provides an in-depth analysis of the votes in particular elections, taking into consideration the communes with a significant rate of Polish inhabitants as well as those communes there the Polish ethnos was rather scarce. The ethnic affiliation has been considered as a vital independent variable of the choices made; however, other variables explaining election behaviour have also been indicated. Keywords: Zaolzie, Czech Republic, Polish national minority, elections, politics Rezumat. Atitudinile electorale în rândul minorității poloneze din Regiunea Zaolzie a Republicii Cehe (1990-2018). Articolul analizează problema activității electorale a locuitorilor polonezi din regiunea Zaolzie (Republica Cehă) în perioada 1990-2018, refe- rindu-se la alegerile naționale (Camera inferioară a Parlamentului, Senatul, președintele Re- publicii Cehe), precum și la alegerile regionale și locale. Secțiunea teoretică prezintă minorită- țile naționale și etnice ca actori politici (colectivi). Partea empirică oferă o analiză aprofundată a voturilor la anumite alegeri, luând în considerare comunele cu o pondere semnificativă de locuitori polonezi, precum și acele comune unde etnicii polonezi sunt puțini la număr.

Brno: Masarykova univerzita, Filozofická fakulta, Historický ústav, 2010. 54 s. Vedoucí diplomové práce doc. PhDr. Vladimír Goněc, CSc. Anotace Diplomová práce „Těšínsko v systému euroregionů“ pojednává o vzniku a funkčnosti institucí euroregionů na území historického Těšínska. Problematika regionů se v současnosti dostává na přední místa zájmu v Evropské unii. Euroregiony bývaly v minulosti popisovány příliš optimisticky a nekriticky, v zápalu jakési euforie, toho se tato práce snaží vyvarovat. Autor zkoumá nejprve genezi a vývoj instituce euroregionů v západní Evropě. Dále si všímá kulturně-historických předpokladů, majících vliv na vznik euroregionů na Těšínsku. Posléze popisuje dva vzniklé euroregiony na území Těšínska, srovnává je především z hledisek historických, kulturních, geografických a hospodářských. V závěrečné fázi se snaží nastínit nejmarkantnější problémy nově vznikajících euroregionálních struktur a jejich vzájemnou rivalitu.

  • Difference Between Eastern and Western Polish Euroregions
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN POLISH EUROREGIONS Jan Wendt* After the year 1998 when the world order was broke down, the modern Europe came into a new qualitatively phase of the integration processes' development. The new challenges, new communications techniques, migration processes, ideas' diffusions create more and more links between countries and local societies. The progress of cultural and economical integration is creally going into globalisation and universalisation the model of life. However, the globalisation doesn't create any efficiently working mechanism of performing law and institution order because its subjects try to - for the sake of defending own businesses - unique the instituali- sation of the authority on the above country level (Malendowski W., Szczepaniak M., 2000). Therefore, only the increase of transborder co-operation can make the authority desistance the opposition which exists in this matter (Schulc E., 1996). The euroregional co-operation, which is developed very well in UE, can lessen the distance between countries which are in UE (Malendowski W., Ratajczak M., 1998) and countries which pretend to be in there and liquidate the feeling of being in the suburban of the Western Europe. The co-operation also gives possi- bilities of knowing the rules of multilateral co-operation and democratic procedures for the post communistic societies (Bernatowicz G.; 1994). So, the co-operation should be one of the priorities for the UE candidate countries. What is more, the European Commission and its different kinds of helping programmes like PHARE help the euroregions activities. It seems that Poland is a regional leader in creating new euroregions in Central Europe.

  • Western Carpathians, Poland)
    Geological Quarterly, 2006, 50 (1): 169–194 Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland) Nestor OSZCZYPKO Oszczypko N. (2006) — Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland). Geol. Quart., 50 (1): 169–194. Warszawa. The Outer Carpathian Basin domain developed in its initial stage as a Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifted passive margin that faced the east- ern parts of the oceanic Alpine Tethys. Following closure of this oceanic basin during the Late Cretaceous and collision of the Inner Western Carpathian orogenic wedge with the Outer Carpathian passive margin at the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition, the Outer Carpathian Basin domain was transformed into a foreland basin that was progressively scooped out by nappes and thrust sheets. In the pre- and syn-orogenic evolution of the Outer Carpathian basins the following prominent periods can be distinguished: (1) Middle Juras- sic-Early Cretaceous syn-rift opening of basins followed by Early Cretaceous post-rift thermal subsidence, (2) latest Creta- ceous-Paleocene syn-collisional inversion, (3) Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene flexural subsidence and (4) Late Eocene-Early Miocene synorogenic closure of the basins. In the Outer Carpathian domain driving forces of tectonic subsidence were syn-rift and thermal post-rift processes, as well as tectonic loads related to the emplacement of nappes and slab-pull. Similar to other orogenic belts, folding of the Outer Carpathians commenced in their internal parts and progressed in time towards the continental foreland. This process was initi- ated at the end of the Paleocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt/Magura Basin boundary and was completed during early Burdigalian in the northern part of the Krosno Flysch Basin.

  • Early Stages of the Polish Carpathian Foredeep Development
    136 Slovak Geol. Mag. 6, 2-3(2000), 136-138 Early stages of the Polish Carpathian foredeep development NESTOR OSZCZYPKO & ANNA LUCTNSKA-ANCZKIEWICZ Jagiellonian University, Institute of Geological Sciences, Olcandry 2a, 30-063 Krak6w, Poland Abstract: The flysch olistoplaque from the W part of Polish Carpathian Foredeep could be correlated with the Old Styrian overthrust of the Moravo-Silesian Carpathians. This nappe load caused the development of the Karpatian flexural depression which was filled with coarse clastic sediments.This subsidence was followed by the intra-Karpatian uplift and erosion of the Cieszyn-Slavkov Ridge. The new Late Karpatian/ Early Badenian subsidence was connected with development of extensional grabens at the front of the Old Styrian thrust, and accompanied by the Early Badenian regional transgression Key words: Mioceneflysch olistoplaque, Old Styrian nappe front, Karpatian foredeep, of theWestern Car- pathians Introduction quartzites, fragments of metamorphic rocks and granites which derived from both the Carpathian flysch as well as The Early to Middle Miocene Polish Carpathian from the Paleozoic basement.

  • Pniokowie Z Zamarsk Koło Cieszyna W XIX I Na Początku XX Wieku – Dzieje Chłopskiego Rodu Ze Śląska Cieszyńskiego*
    SZKICE ARCHIW A LNO -HI S TORYCZNE NR 13 (2016) mi c h a e l mo r y S -Tw a r o w sk i Pniokowie z Zamarsk koło Cieszyna w XIX i na początku XX wieku – dzieje chłopskiego rodu ze śląska Cieszyńskiego* Niniejszy artykuł jest kolejnym tekstem, w którym omawiam losy konkretnej rodziny chłopskiej ze Śląska Cieszyńskiego. Jak wskazywałem w jednym z wcześniej- szych artykułów, opracowanie losów rodów chłopskich „pozwoliłoby o wiele lepiej zrozumieć historię tego regionu, tym bardziej że w jego dziejach przedstawiciele sta- nu chłopskiego odegrali nieporównywalnie większą rolę niż na innych polskich zie- miach. W pierwszym rzędzie należałoby opracować genealogię rodów zaliczających się do chłopskich elit, a taką niewątpliwie stanowili najbogatsi gospodarze zwani sie- dlakami”. Pisząc o genealogii, miałem na myśli nie tylko prosty opis filiacji i koicji, ale także informacje o wyznaniu, stosunkach majątkowych i postawach politycznych1 . Ród Pnioków z Zamarsk nie doczekał się jeszcze swojego opracowania. W litera- turze wspominał o jego przedstawicielach jedynie Rudolf Mizia, autor wielu publi- kacji na temat historii wspomnianej miejscowości2. Tymczasem warto poświęcić im uwagę z dwóch zasadniczych powodów. Po pierwsze, Pniokowie zaliczali się do grona siedlaków3. Po drugie, w latach 1864–1918 dwóch przedstawicieli rodu piastowało urząd wójta Zamarsk. Był to pionierski okres funkcjonowania samorządu gminnego * Artykuł powstał w ramach projektu Wójtowie na Śląsku Cieszyńskim 1864–1918.

In the Outer Carpathians, the Early Miocene deposits represent the youngest part of the flysch sequence, while in the Polish Carpathian Foredeep they are developed on the basement platform. The inner foredeep (beneath the Carpathians) is composed of Early to Middle Miocene deposits, while the outer foredeep is filled up with the Middle Miocene (Badenian and Sarmatian) strata, up to 3,000 m thick. The Early Miocene strata are mainly terrestrial in origin, whereas the Badenian and Sarmatian strata are marine. The Carpathian Foredeep developed as a peripheral foreland basin related to the moving Carpathian front. The main episodes of intensive subsidence in the PCF correspond to the period of progressive emplacement of the Western Carpathians onto the foreland plate. The important driving force of tectonic subsidence was the emplacement of the nappe load related to subduction roll-back. During that time the loading effect of the thickening of the Carpathian accretionary wedge on the foreland plate increased and was followed by progressive acceleration of total subsidence. The mean rate of the Carpathian overthrusting, and north to north-east migration of the axes of depocentres reached 12 mm/yr at that time.
