This conference brought together scholars of Euro- pean integration, international relations and foreign policy analysis in order to exchange views on the ways in which the European Union’s evolving role in global politics could be conceptualised. The ensuing debates and discussions demonstrated not only that across disciplines and approaches different conceptualisations of the EU’s foreign policy existed, but also that a dialogue across these boundaries proved useful in furthering our under- standing of the nature of this particular beast. We decided that the next logical step would be a book project that brought these different perspectives together and contributed the particular insights from the study of EU foreign policy to the wider debate about different approaches to European integration. We have been fortunate that our enthusiasm in launching this venture was shared not only by the contributors to the volume, but also by others without whom this book would not have been published. The Department of International Relations facilitated the initial conference by awarding us a grant, and Steve Smith, then Head of the Depart- ment, was instrumental in helping us to get this project off the ground. Many colleagues in the Department contributed to the conference and helped to make it a success, but we would like to acknowledge in particular the organisational work done by Elaine Lowe. We are grateful for the support and encouragement which we received from Emil Kirchner, Series Co-Editor of Europe in Change, and Tony Mason, Commissioning Editor at Manchester University Press, from the moment the idea for the book was born until its publication. Efficient editorial assistance was provided by Susanne Kempe at the Department of International Relations in Aberystwyth. Above all we would like to thank the contributors to this volume who endured the usual suffering of chapter authors – first impossible deadlines, then unreasonable requests for revisions and finally a seemingly endless wait for the actual publication – without any complaints. We are grateful for their cooperation throughout this process, and we hope they – and the reader – share out satisfaction with the finished ‘product’.

  • The EU's Northern Dimension
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Directory of Open Access Journals The EU’s Northern Dimension: Blurring Frontiers between Russia and the EU North? Clive Archer / Tobias Etzold Summary Whereas the dual enlargements of NATO and the EU have tended to sharpen the distinc- tion between Russia and the EU, the EU’s Northern Dimension (ND) has encouraged a blurring of the frontiers between Russia and the northern members of the EU and the wider European Economic Area. This article briefly sets out the history of the ND, sum- marising its most important specific characteristics and also features the role of regional organisations and other actors in the policy. This is followed by an overview of recent developments and meetings leading to a new ND. A detailed analysis of the ND’s future perspectives, setting out its strengths and weaknesses, is conducted. A special emphasis is placed on Russia’s role within the ND. Finally, the ND and the issue of borders in North- ern Europe is considered, with the contention that the special nature of the ND could be lost should it be used as an instrument subservient to the wider EU-Russian relationship. Zusammenfassung Die Erweiterungen von NATO und Europäischer Union haben die Abgrenzung zwischen Russland und der EU im Allgemeinen verstärkt. Die Nördliche Dimension (ND) der Eu- ropäischen Union hingegen hat zu einer Aufweichung der Grenzen zwischen Russland und den nordeuropäischen Staaten der Union und des Gemeinsamen Wirtschaftsraums geführt. Der vorliegende Artikel zeichnet die Geschichte der ND nach, fasst ihre wesent- lichsten Charakteristika zusammen und beleuchtet die Rolle regionaler Organisationen und anderer Akteure im Rahmen dieser Politik.

  • Nordic States and European Integration
    NORDIC STATES AND EUROPEAN INTEGRATION: THE “ME” REGION? Summary of remarks by Alyson JK Bailes, Faculty of Political Science, University of Iceland At the History Congress (Söguþing), 10 June 2012 in Reykjavik My title is rather provocatively chosen to reflect the phrase ‘the Me generation’. It reflects my aim to discuss how far the factor of national identity can be – and perhaps needs to be - used to explain the Nordic region’s varied and ambivalent engagement with European integration in the late 20th and 21st centuries. First however I would like to offer some comparison between the attitudes of the five Nordic states and of Britain – which shares with them an above-average level of Euro-scepticism in public opinion. All these nations belong to Europe’s Western and Northern periphery: and since practically all historic threats to them have come from the East and South, they can only realistically hope for powers further West to come to their rescue. That gives them an existential stake in relations with the USA which, at least, qualifies the value they can see in purely European cooperation. Geographical position also makes all of them maritime powers to some extent (in Sweden and Finland’s case, in the Baltic setting) – and geopolitical theory tells us that such powers tend to be flexible, mobile and liberal, hence not happy about being tied down in static continental systems. Among shared internal characteristics one may mention the early definition and importance of national laws and representative institutions, which all these countries have an instinct to defend against the imposition of alien standards.

  • Estonian Methodism During the First Year Under the Plague of the Red Commissars
    Methodist History, 31:4 (July 1993) ESTONIAN METHODISM DURING THE FIRST YEAR UNDER THE PLAGUE OF THE RED COMMISSARS HEIGO RITSBEK "Immediately before the outbreak of World War II, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia signed the Non-Aggression Pact of August 23, 1939, generally referred to as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. This treaty con­ tained secret provisions for dividing Eastern Europe into spheres of in­ fluence. "1 This pact is considered by many as one of the reasons for the onset of World War II. For Estonia, the Pact had terrible results. On June 17, 1940, Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union. The Soviet secret police began to imprison and execute the population. The first mass deportation from Estonia to Soviet slave camps started on the night of June 13, 1941. Overnight, more than 10,000 people, including children and the elderly (or almost 1 percent of the population), were herded into overloaded box cars and taken away to remote areas in northern Russia and Siberia. These journeys often lasted several weeks under inhuman conditions, during which time a large number of deportees perished. Additionally, 1,741 people were later found in mass graves in Estonia. After the start of the Russian-German war on June 21, 1941, some 30,000 more Estonians were deported by the Soviets under the guise of conscription or were forced to leave Estonia to do slc>ve labor. All told, some 60,000 Estonians were arrested, murdered or deported during the first Soviet occupation 1940-1941.2 It is clear that under such circumstances, the Methodist Church in Estonia, which was founded by the missionary activities of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States of America, suffered very much.
