  • Baltic Amber - 10 Years of Success 1 Intro
    Baltic Amber - 10 Years of Success 1 Intro t will not be a typical issue of the Baltic Amber magazine since the occasion is unusual – IMultinational Corps Northeast celebrated its 10th birthday in 2009. Facts will not be in major focus either, because it will be more about emotions and memories. After all, they have greater power than tangible documents with detailed data. The intention of this issue of the Baltic Amber is to present the story of Multinational Corps Northeast; the Corps, which has managed to cover many pages of its 10-year history with successes and highlights. This story will be told by people whose experiences have been scattered in time and space. But they all have met here, in Baltic Barracks, home of the Corps. These people will present the Corps’ history from their own perspective, which may not necessarily be the only one and complete, but it will defi nitely have a human touch. It is the right time and place to listen to people who make this Corps strong. The following pages of the Baltic Amber will take you deep into the Corps’ world. You will fi nd out what the process of founding the Corps looked like, what events shaped the Corps throughout those past 10 years and what the current and future challenges and visions to be met are. All this will give you a taste of a multinational adventure and unique character of this “Corps of the new Millennium” and its 10 years of success. Public Affairs Team 2 Baltic Amber - 10 Years of Success List of contents Commander sounds Page 4-5 proudly IMPRESSUM Page 6-7 The Baltic Amber is the Insight into the Corps’ history authorized offi cial magazine of the Headquarters Multinational Corps Northeast, which shall be a fruitful source of information on the Corps-related issues for members of the Headquarters, assigned formations as well as international visitors and individuals.

  • Pedestrian Border Crossings
    Pedestrian border crossings Diagnosis, arguments and recommendations Krzysztof Mrozek The Schengen area is based on two principles: 1) the internal borders between members of the Schengen zone are open with no border checks, customs control or external borders and 2) the gateways to the whole Schengen area are protected by state-of-the-art infrastructure and the well-trained border police of border countries, coordinated by the Warsaw-based EU agency FRONTEX. The functioning of the EU external border is regulated by the Schengen Borders Code, which entered into force in 20061. Out of approximately 9,000 kilometres of the total EU external land border, 1,163 kilometres are in Poland (33% of the Polish land border). Keen on maintaining good relations with its neighbours who are not EU members, Poland is a frontrunner in streamlining cross-border traffic and implementing new technology and means of border controls, including pedestrian border crossings. An ongoing refugee crisis in 2015 puts under question not only the effectiveness of the EU external borders, but also the future of the Schengen area as such. Nevertheless, current challenges should not be an excuse for only maintaining them secure but not making them more friendly for travellers. Poland has been a part of the Schengen zone since 2007 and its citizens have therefore already got used to the fact that crossing borders with other EU countries is just like crossing from one voivodship to another. It is easy to not notice the signs on main roads informing us about crossing national borders. There is no border or customs control, no queues and no “ants”2.

Two districts - Chojnice and Czluchow - create the southern pole of the Pomeranian region’s development. Both towns have established two parts of Pomeranian Special Economic Zone. The Chojnice rural commune, which surrounds the town, is an excellent tourist area due to its valuable natural environment, beautiful lakes and forests. Since the fall of the communist system in 1989 a number of positive changes took place in the city: renovation of the town centre, investments in infrastructure, new housing areas, business development, new education opportunities etc.

Welcome Message Honorable Yu, Hyun-seok, President of Korea Foundation, Distinguished scholars and junior international experts who will deliver a presentation or discussion, Great to see you all. I am Lee, Geum-soon Head of the Institute for Unification Education. It's a pleasure and honour for me to invite scholars and practioners at home and abroad who are interested in the Korean Peninsula issues to the 3rd International Academic Con- ference. Distinguished guests, Northeast Asia which the Korean Peninsula is part of is a center of the world economy taking up a quarter of the global trade and 20% of the total production. However, political and security situations are getting worse in this region as the conflicts over historical, territorial and military issues still linger. Most of all, North Korea's constant attempt to develop nuclear weapons is posing the biggest threat to peace and stability not just in Northeast Asia but in the world. Despite the active and flourishing economic cooperation Northeast Asian countries are still in conflicts over political and security issues. We refer to this situation as "Asia Paradox". In response to the "Asia Paradox", President Park Geun-hye has proposed "Northeast Asia Peace and Cooperation Initiative".

  • Introduction 1. in My Conversations with Senior Polish Military
    Notes Introduction 1. In my conversations with senior Polish military personnel, this argument was raised repeatedly by the officers, including Chief of the General Staff Gen. Tadeusz Wilecki. This might be dismissed as institutional self-justification were it not for the fact that it was also raised by junior rank officers, as well as by several civilians within the Ministry of Defense. All interviews were con­ ducted by the author between January 1995 and July 1995 in Warsaw, Poland. 2. These observations have been confirmed in my contacts with Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Russian, and Ukrainian officers, all of whom tended to define professionalism in terms that presupposed autonomy within society and subordination to one power center within government, without much room for additional institutional oversight arrangements. Chapter One 1. See, for example, A. Ross Johnson, Robert W. Dean, and Alexander Alexiev, East European Military Establishments: The W'arsaw Pact Northern Tier (New York: Crane Russak, 1982) and Timothy J. Colton and Thane Gustafson, eds., Soldiers and the Soviet State: Civil Military Relations from Brezhnev to Gorbachev (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1990). 2. In addition to Samuel Huntington's classic The Soldier and the State (Cam­ bridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1957), some of the better works on civil-military relations include Amos Perlmutter and Valier Plave Bennett, The Political Influence of the Military (New Haven and London: Yale Uni­ versity Press, 1980), Alfred Stepan, The Military in Politics: Changing Pat­ terns in Brazil (Princeton, N.
