The OSCE nowadays is an international institution somewhat in the shadows of the European Union, the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion. Coming to life during a brief period of relaxation of tensions in the Cold War during the 1970s, its predecessor, the Conference on Se- curity and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE), however, turned out to be the central forum for East-West negotiations in Europe over the fol- lowing two decades. At the time the neutral and non-aligned states (N+N), including Switzerland and former Yugoslavia, played a particular role in bridging the gaps in European security talks between the opposing military blocs of NATO/EC and Warsaw Pact/COMECON. Indeed, as this study shows, the contribution of the N+N to keeping the CSCE negotiating process alive in the early 1980s during the most critical years of crises in the later Cold War period was crucial. Although the geo-strategic and ideological context is altogether different today, there still might be some lessons to learn under what conditions European non-alliance member states can come into play to move multilateral negotiations forward. The CSCE experience with its open negotiation structure and all-inclusive thematic approach is a case in point. The study at hand meticulously traces the role of the European neu- tral and non-aligned states in the CSCE history beyond the Helsinki Final Act of 1975 making widespread use of previously unexplored pri- vate and public archival material and oral history sources. Its author, Thomas Fischer, who has emerged once as a young scholar from our Center, has established himself in the past decade as a leading interna- tional expert on the neutral and non-aligned states participation in the CSCE process. Following up on his Neutral Power in the CSCE: The N+N States and the Making of the Helsinki Accords 1975, I am happy to present his new study as the latest addition to the Zürcher Beiträge zur 5 Keeping the Process Alive: The N+N and the CSCE Follow-Up from Helsinki to Vienna (1975 – 1986) Sicherheitspolitik. I would like to thank him for his most profound study, which is once more at the forefront of historical research on the sub- ject. I am also grateful to Miriam Dahinden for her careful layout work. Zurich, November 2012 Prof. Andreas Wenger Director, Center for Security Studies (CSS), ETH Zurich 6 Keeping the Process Alive: The N+N and the CSCE Follow-Up from Helsinki to Vienna (1975 – 1986) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As always, there are a number of people the author would like to thank for their help and assistance in the making of this study. In 2008, after spending four years in Vienna, I had finished a manuscript on the Neu- tral and Non-Aligned States (N+N) and the Making of the Helsinki Final Act 1975. I already had in mind a continuation of my research in the field with a sequel on the bridge-building role of the N+N in the CSCE Follow-Up Process from 1975 to 1989. Decisive encouragement for this project came from Odd Arne Westad when I first presented the tentative hypothesis of the N+N as an important lifeline to the Helsinki Process in the period of renewed East-West tensions in the later Cold War at a conference in Copenhagen in late 2007. After my return from Austria to Switzerland in 2008, it was Jussi Hanhimäki from The Graduate Institute of International and Devel- opment Studies in Geneva who helped me “to set up tent” as a visiting research fellow and lecturer at his institute for the coming years with my new project. The staff of the International History and Politics Unit at the Graduate Institute in Geneva gave me a warm welcome and pro- vided a stimulating surrounding for my research. In particular, I would not want to omit to thank Valérie von Daeniken on the administrative side as well as my teaching assistant Bernhard Blumenau for all their support during my time at the institute. In 2009, I had the possibility to spend one month at the University of Helsinki at the invitation of my colleague Juhana Aunesluoma for the purpose of archival research in the Finnish Foreign Ministry Archive. Juhana seconded to me his research assistant Sampo Lindgren during my stay in Helsinki for the purpose of unlocking the Finnish language materials, which otherwise would not have been accessible to me due to my lack of knowledge in Finnish. Sampo spent many hours sitting with me in the archive translating first-hand documentary material. Juhani and Elisabeth Karppinen, as on previous occasions, lent me the use of their flat in Helsinki for that stay, for which I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude. My research in Finland was made possible finan- cially by a research grant of the Swiss National Science Foundation for 7 Keeping the Process Alive: The N+N and the CSCE Follow-Up from Helsinki to Vienna (1975 – 1986) international short-term visits. Jussi Hanhimäki and Odd Arne Westad have helpfully supported this grant application. In Vienna, my good colleague Erwin A. Schmidl, head of contem- porary history at the Institute for Strategy and Security Studies of the Austrian National Defence Academy, as well as the Finnish head of mission to the OSCE, Antti Turunen, were helpful in setting up oral history workshops in 2008 and 2009 on the history of the neutral states in the CSCE follow-up process. In Helsinki, retired diplomat Markku Reimaa was similarly instrumental in convening a number of former Finnish CSCE colleagues for an oral history roundtable during my stay in October 2009. Another important source for this project came from former Swiss CSCE diplomat Hans-Jörg Renk. As for my previous project, he let me use all the private archival materials he retained from ten years of CSCE diplomacy, including highly insightful notes from the Belgrade and Ma- drid follow-up meetings in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 AGNIESZKA KISZTELIŃSKA-WĘGRZYŃSKA Łódź FROM THE HISTORY OF POLISH-AUSTRIAN DIPLOMACY IN THE 1970S. AUSTRIAN CHANCELLOR BRUNO KREISKY’S VISITS TO POLAND Polish-Austrian relations after World War II developed in an atmosphere of mutu- al interest and restrained political support. During the Cold War, the Polish People’s Republic and the Republic of Austria were on the opposite sides of the Iron Curtain; however, after 1945 both countries sought mutual recognition and trade cooperation. For more than 10 years following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Austria and Poland, there had been no meetings at the highest level.1 The first con- tact took place when the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Kreisky, came on a visit to Warsaw on 1-3 March 1960.2 Later on, Kreisky visited Poland four times as Chancellor of Austria: in June 1973, in late January/early February 1975, in Sep- tember 1976, and in November 1979. While discussing the significance of those five visits, it is worth reflecting on the role of Austria in the diplomatic activity of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The views on the motives of the Austrian politician’s actions and on Austria’s foreign policy towards Poland come from the MFA archives from 1972-1980. The time period covered in this study matches the schedule of the Chancellor’s visits. The activity of the Polish diplomacy in the Communist period (1945-1989) has been addressed as a research topic in several publications on Polish history. How- ever, as Andrzej Paczkowski says in the sixth volume of Historia dyplomacji polskiej (A history of Polish diplomacy), research on this topic is still in its infancy.3 A wide range of source materials that need to be thoroughly reviewed offer a number of 1 Stosunki dyplomatyczne Polski, Informator, vol.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In recent years radical forms of anti-Zionism have once more revived with a vengeance in Europe and other parts of the world. Since the hate-fest at the UN- sponsored Durban Conference of September 2001 against racism, the claim that Israel is an “apartheid” state which practices “ethnic cleansing” against Palestinians has become particularly widespread. Such accusations are frequently heard today on European and North American campuses, in the media, the churches, among intellectuals and even among parts of the Western political elite. They have been given additional respectability in a polemical and tendentious book by former US President Jimmy Carter, one of the main architects of the Israeli- Egyptian Peace Agreement in 1979. Unfortunately Israel finds itself pilloried today as a state based on racism, colonialism, apartheid and even “genocide”. These accusations are now much more widespread than in the mid 1970s when the United Nations passed its notorious resolution equating Zionism with racism. At the same time, Palestinian hostility to Zionism, the escalation of terrorism and open antisemitism in the wider Arab- Muslim world has been greatly envenomed. However the seeds of this development were already present thirty years ago and indeed go back as far as the 1920s. What has changed is not so much the ideology but the fact that the culture of hatred among many Muslims has been greatly amplified by modern technologies and means of mass communication. Islamic fundamentalism and “holy war” have found an ever more fertile terrain in a backward, crisis-ridden Muslim world of Islamist jihad with anti-Americanism, hatred for Israel and continual media incitement steadily bringing the Middle East to the brink of the apocalypse.

  • Raymond Loretan, New President of the Foundation of the Grand Prix D
    PRESS RELEASE Geneva, April 19th 2018 Raymond Loretan, new President of the Foundation of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) The Foundation of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève has enlisted the services of an experienced figure. Raymond Loretan, the new President of the Foundation, took up his position in January 2018. He wishes to continue developing this institution on both national and international levels and to impart fresh momentum. While guaranteeing the strict independence and neutrality of the Grand Prix, he believes the Foundation must explore new modes of cooperation to ensure its sustainability and to continue promoting the reputation of the watch industry both within Switzerland and worldwide. Raymond Loretan succeeded Carlo Lamprecht, who had chaired the Foundation since its creation in 2011. Carlo Lamprecht served the GPHG with energy and dedication, alongside the Director of the Foundation, Carine Maillard. After seven years in this role, he expressed a wish to step down in order to devote more time to other activities. The Board of the Foundation expresses its deep gratitude for his immense contribution to extending Swiss watch industry’s global reach. Raymond Loretan From diplomacy to economics along with politics and the media, Loretan is a man of conviction and commitment. Diplomatic and international experience: after graduating with a law degree from the University of Fribourg and a degree in European law from the University of Strasbourg, he began his career with an internship at the UN in New York and The Hague. He was recruited to the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in 1983 via the multi-stage competitive process for careers in diplomacy known as the Concours, successively working as Diplomatic Secretary of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Edouard Brunner; and then as personal assistant to Federal Council Arnold Koller at the Federal Department of Defence and at the Federal Department of Justice and Police between 1987 and 1990.

  • The Transfer of Soviet Prisoners of War from Afghanistan To
    WORKING PAPER 94 The Transfer of Soviet Prisoners of War from Afghanistan to Switzerland, 1982-1984 By Liliane Stadler, December 2020 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann and Charles Kraus, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources from all sides of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. Among the activities undertaken by the Project to promote this aim are the Wilson Center's Digital Archive; a periodic Bulletin and other publications to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for historians to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; and international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars. The CWIHP Working Paper series provides a speedy publication outlet for researchers who have gained access to newly-available archives and sources related to Cold War history and would like to share their results and analysis with a broad audience of academics, journalists, policymakers, and students. CWIHP especially welcomes submissions which use archival sources from outside of the United States; offer novel interpretations of well-known episodes in Cold War history; explore understudied events, issues, and personalities important to the Cold War; or improve understanding of the Cold War’s legacies and political relevance in the present day.
