  • 10 Years of Eu Counter-Terrorism
    A DECADE OF EU COUNTER-TERRORISM AND INTELLIGENCE: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION Dr Javier Argomaniz (University of St Andrews), Dr OldrichBures (Metropolitan University Prague) & Dr Christian Kaunert (University of Salford & European University Institute Florence) The Treaty on the European Union (EU) stipulates that one of the key objectives of the Union is to provide citizens with a high level of safety within an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). Given the fact that the fight against terrorism is a prominent aspect of this general objective, it is remarkable that, in spite of its political relevance and decade-long history, it has only relatively recently received due attention in the academic community1. Only a handful of post-9/11 edited volumes and special issues have focused on specific aspects of the EU counterterrorism efforts2 and initial monographs on the subject have only been relatively recently published by the three editors behind this special issue: Argomaniz3 has produced a theoretically informed assessment of the coherence of the EU response, Bures4 has examined the extent to which the EU can offer an added 1 A selection of relevant contributions would include: Monica den Boer and JörgMonar, ‘Keynote Article: 11 September and the Challenge of Global Terrorism to the EU as a Security Actor’, Journal of Common Market Studies, 40/4 (2002), pp. 11-28; John Occhipinti, The Politics of EU Police Cooperation: Towards a European FBI?(Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner, 2003); Edwin Bakker ‘Differences in Terrorist Threat Perceptions in Europe’, in DieterMahncke and JörgMonar (eds.)

  • Media Frames 5.Indb
    תקצירים באנגלית 169 Communication without journalists? David Witzthum* Abstract The essay looks apprehensively to the future of Journalism as a profession. With a modicum of nostalgia, the author, a veteran of Israel’s public television news department, recalls its founding years. Then, most positions as in the printed press and radio were occupied by journalists: film and video editors; broadcasters and reporters; even directors and chairpersons. Today, most of these, and many other (newly created by the necessities of new media), positions within and around are performed by non-journalists: technicians, specialists, actors, "talents" and "celebrities", PR people, agents, and young "researchers" – and with them, the new face of television values has shifted. Traditional "objectivity, fairness, Professionalism, neutrality" pave way to "immediacy, interactivity, involvement" and the (sometimes uneasy and critical) public role as "state media" is replaced by the (as uneasy but hardly critical) proximity to commercial interests of the privatized "media industry". In the new hyper world of "civic journalism", blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and iPhone, we could well be witnessing the last generation of professional journalists. The next era of media stories, or "contents", might have other story-tellers as well: be they Moslem Imams or reality-show stars. * David Witzthum ([email protected]) is a veteran journalist at Channel 1, the Israel Broadcasting Authority. He also teaches at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at Tel Aviv University. 170 תקצירים באנגלית The black robe and the yellow press: Perceptions of the media by Israeli judges Anat Peleg and Bryna Bogoch* Abstract This article examines changes in judges' perceptions of the media and attitudes regarding the relationship between the media and the courts in light of changes in media coverage of legal affairs and the expansion of the activities of the Courts' Administration spokesperson department.

ISSN 1017-7566 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Introduction What has changed? Risks and challenges The policies of the European states The role and policy of the United States The institutions Conclusions PREFACE Professor Dieter Mahncke, the Deputy Director of the Planning Staff of the German Defence Ministry in Bonn, was a visiting fellow at the Institute for the last quarter of 1992. We were pleased to welcome him and were stimulated by his many contributions to our work. Among these was an early draft of the present paper which we encouraged him to work on and are now happy to publish for a wider audience. The end of the Cold War has meant that very many of the concepts on which institutions and structures for security in Western Europe were based have had to be re-examined. This is a continuing process and Professor Mahncke's stimulating and provocative paper will make an important contribution to the ongoing argument. John Roper Paris, September 1993 - v - Parameters of European security(1) Dieter Mahncke INTRODUCTION The changes in Europe over the past few years have been dramatic and they have led, particularly in the field of security, to a great deal of re-thinking--or at least demands for and appearances of re-thinking.

  • Brussels-Bruges Report 2008
    INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON DIPLOMATIC TRAINING 36th Meeting of Deans and Directors of Diplomatic Academies and Institutes of International Relations College of Europe Brussels and Bruges 24 – 26 September 2008 The 36th Meeting of Deans and Directors returned to Europe with fond memories of the remarkable Meeting at Maputo in 2007. The co-chairs opened the meeting with renewed thanks and congratulations to the host institutions in Mozambique and South Africa. The College of Europe had organised a similarly innovative programme, commencing in the magnificent Egmont Palace in Brussels, and concluding in the calm beauty of the College in Bruges. In addition to being mounted in two centres, the programme offered for the first time the opportunity to pursue more than one theme, in a series of parallel workshops on current practical aspects of diplomacy. Paul Demaret, Rector of the College of Europe, welcomed Members to the meeting, observing that in troubled times it was more than ever the task of diplomacy to keep channels of communication open. The training of diplomats was central to that mission. Ambassador Jiři Gruša, Director of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, noted that diplomacy required an intimate alignment of expert knowledge and human skills, combining efficacy with ethics, economics with cultural awareness. Diplomatic academies harnessed old virtues – wisdom, balance, courage, moderation – to meet new challenges. The Forum had a special contribution to make, a global network of partners helping to forge common understanding and foster non-totalitarian mentality. Professor Casimir Yost brought greetings from one of the founding fathers of the Forum, Dean Peter Krogh, who on this occasion had shown once again strategic vision in putting domestic diplomacy ahead of international diplomacy.

Dieter Mahncke1 Introduction A common foreign and security policy for the European Union is an issue of the day. While most academic and many political observers believe that it would be in the interest of the Union to have a common policy, there is quite some disagreement as to how this is to be achieved and whether it should be accomplished in an assured and regular manner or whether it should come about on an ad hoc basis only when it is in the clear interest of all member states at any particular time. In other words, is a common foreign policy to be a fundamental characteristic of the Union or is it to be an occasional occurrence when advantageous and convenient, the ‘C’ in CFSP – as one observer has sarcastically commented – standing not for ‘Common’ but for ‘Convenient’?2 Ever since the European Community began to consider a more common stance on foreign policy issues, progress has been the result of compromise. Such compromise had to be found between integrationists, who believe that more supranationality and, for example, majority voting on foreign policy questions are necessary, and inter-governmentalists, who consider foreign policy questions as too close to the heart of state sovereignty and too controversial between states to expect more than increased coherence and, indeed, a common policy only when there is consensus.
