The 6 March 2011 poll in Estonia was the first election in post-communist Europe to feature an unchanged line-up of competing political parties, indicating a high level of political stability despite the financial and political turmoil that marked much of Europe in 2011 (Pettai et al. 2011). In contrast, the same year Latvia experienced its first early election, triggered by a referendum, on the recall of Parliament, called by the Latvian president in protest to a perceived ‘privatization of democracy in Latvia’ (Zatlers 2011). Moreover, the radical-right populist Visu Latvijai!/Tēvzemei un Brīvībai/LNNK (National Alliance of All for Latvia!/For Fatherland and Freedom/ Latvian National Independence Movement) almost doubled its share of the votes it won in the October 2010 regular election, and then subsequently took up government office in a new three-party coalition.

  • Successful New Parties in the Baltic States: Similar Or Different?
    Successful new parties in the Baltic states: similar or different? Paper prepared for the conference ‘The Baltic States: New Europe or Old?’ University of Glasgow, 22-23 January 2004 Allan Sikk Department of Political Science University of Tartu Ülikooli 18, Tartu 50090 Estonia [email protected] http://www.ut.ee/SOPL/cv/sikke.htm Tel +372 7 375 668 Fax +372 7 375 154 DRAFT VERSION – PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE WITHOUT PERMISSION Introduction Last elections in the Baltic states witnessed a rise of strong and significant new parties. In October 2000 parliamentary elections in Lithuania, the New Union – Social Liberals (Naujoji Sąjunga – Socialliberalai) led by Artūras Paulauskas, was supported by 19.6% of the electorate in the proportional representation part thereby coming second after the Algirdas Brazauskas’ Social-Democratic Coalition. It gained 28 seats, being the third largest group in the Seimas as the Liberal Union was more successful in the single mandate constituencies. Nevertheless, the New Union was an equal partner in the governing coalition, Paulauskas becoming the chairman of the parliament. Furthermore, it has been in the Lithuanian cabinet ever since, while the Liberal Union was forced to leave after only eight months in office and was replaced by the Social Democrats. Two years later, in October 2002 Saeima elections, the New Era (Jaunais Laiks) surfaced becoming the most popular party in Latvia. It won 24% of the votes and 26 seats in the 100-strong parliament. Despite being in a difficult position concerning finding appropriate coalition partners, the New Era leader Einars Repse succeeded in putting together a government rather swiftly (in less than three weeks, Ikstens 2002) and becoming the prime minister.

  • Review: Scientific Evidence on Nordic Walking 1.Studies Related to Health
    October 1, 2007 Dr. Raija Laukkanen INWA Scientific Advisor Review: Scientific Evidence on Nordic Walking This paper reviews 52 scientific articles published on Nordic Walking in years 1992-2006. Papers or results with at least English abstract are included. Studies are classified according to the target group into four categories: 1. Nordic Walking studies related to health and healthrelated fitness (done on sedentary, on elderly individuals or in patients) 2. Nordic Walking studies related to fitness (done on physically active individuals) 3. Nordic Walking studies related to sports type of performance (done on athletes) 4. Other (done on various groups, reviews, fitness assessment, safety and popularity of NW) References of all studies are listed in alphapethical order. 1. Studies related to health First research results on responses to pole walking training were published in 1992 by Stoughton, Larkin and Karavan from the University of Oregon. They studied psychological profiles (mood states) as well as muscular and aerobic fitness responses before and after 12 weeks of exerstriding or walking training in sedentary women. Exertriding is a modified form of walking that incorporates the use of specially designed walking sticks (Exertriders) in a standard walking workout. This study group consisted of 86 2050 year old women whose fitness was at moderate level. Maximal aerobic power (VO2max) varied between 3437 ml/kg/min. A study group was divided into three subgroups. Control group retained all their exercise habits. Walking and Exertrider groups walked 3045 minutes four times a week at an intensity corresponding to 7085 % maximum heart rate for twelve weeks. In Exertrider group both the walking speed and the distance walked were slightly less than in the walking group.
