Inside Spain 54
Inside Spain 54 William Chislett Foreign Policy Spain Offers to Take Guantánamo Prisoners The Spanish Foreign Minister, Miguel Ángel Moratinos, has told the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, that Spain is prepared to take some of the inmates released from the Guantánamo Bay military camp. Moratinos met Clinton in Washington and said Spain would consider taking prisoners on a case-by-case basis and only under acceptable legal conditions. President Barack Obama is committed to closing the camp by January 2010. As well as pulling out in 2004 the 1,300 peace keeping troops sent to Iraq by José María Aznar, the former Prime Minister, Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has been a vocal critic of Guantánamo. Just as Rodríguez Zapatero’s withdrawal of the troops strained relations with the US (Zapatero was one of the very few EU heads of government never invited to the White House by George W. Bush), helping the Obama Administration resolve the controversial Guantánamo issue would earn him kudos in Washington. ‘We are prepared to cooperate’, said Moratinos. ‘Our teams will make contact to legally study each case’. Some of the prisoners are expected to face trial in the US. Others cleared for release would need to be moved to third countries as their home nations cannot provide sufficient guarantees of safety as they have poor human-rights records. The Obama Administration is hoping that Rodríguez Zapatero will strengthen Spain’s military presence in Afghanistan, where it currently has close to 800 peacekeeping troops under a United Nations mandate and with tight rules of engagement. -

From the Kitchen to the Podium
Queen Sofia of Spain as the embodiment of traditionalist womanhood. Analysis of the gossip press coverage on the Queen from 2011 to 2014 ABSTRACT: The article analyses framing of Queen Sofia by the Spanish gossip press as an embodiment of the traditionalist model of womanhood existing in Spain. The paper presents results from the content analysis of extensive press coverage on the Consort (173 articles published between May 2011 and May 2014) from the leading gossip magazine ¡Hola! Through the use of gender stereotypes’ categorization, it displays coherence between the content of the Queen’s discourse in the magazine and the conservative vision of womanhood developed within the Spanish patriarchal model. Final results show that despite a superficial modernization of the Queen’s image obtained thanks to the fact of focusing the discourse on her public activity, ¡Hola! frame on Queen Sofia corresponds to the portrayal of the ideal of traditionalist Spanish woman. She is thus presented in roles of a mother, grandmother and wife rather than an independent and professionally accomplished woman. Moreover, she is described as a strongly emotional woman, worshipping her family, whose public actions are motivated more by a feeling of obligation toward her family and the country than by a will of having a professional career. KEYWORDS: Gender stereotypes; Spain; Queen Sofia; womanhood; ¡Hola!; gossip press But firstly: what is a woman? ‘Tota mulier in utero’, said one, ‘woman is a womb’ Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex. 1.

PUBLIKACJA Okładka.indd 1 2017-01-31 13:56:33 Meanwhile in the Baltics… Meanwhile in the Baltics… Edited by Agnieszka Pikulicka-Wilczewska, New Eastern Europe Editorial Assistants: Isabel Fleming and Emily Look Cover image by Baiba Tropa Layout and design by DoLasu | www.dolasu-pracownia.pl January 2017 About the project: Solidarity Academy is an international project aimed at inspiring and supporting the development of the young intellectual elites across Europe. The project’s title refers to the Polish social movement Solidarność (Solidarity) and the peaceful socio-political transformations that took place in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In such movements we can find inspiration for solving the problems of the modern world. In 2016, the Solidarity Academy – Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue was realised as a joint programme of the European Solidarity Centre and the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS). The Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue project is further a flagship of the EUSBSR Horizontal Action Neighbours and was conceptualised by the CBSS and the Körber Foundation Germany. The project is part of an initiative of German Foreign Office, using youth cooperation as means to conflict resolution. Dear Reader, The following publication includes pieces written by the graduates of the Solidarity Academy – Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue 2016, an interna- tional project aimed at inspiring and supporting young intellectuals across Europe. This year’s edition was organised in cooperation with the Council of the Baltic Sea States (and supported by the German Mi- nistry of Foreign Affairs), therefore, the participants have taken on to- pics related to the different facets of the region and its diverse social, cultural and political makeup. -
