Inadequate access to housing, education, employment and other needs, along with the existence of barriers to Roma access to health services and an ineff ective use of these services due to their lack of adaptation and even to discrimination, all contribute to a range of avoidable injustices suff ered by this community with regard to their health situation. These health inequalities are not refl ected in reliable and up-to-date statistics or data, a fact which further hinders the planning of targeted interventions designed to reduce and ultimately eliminate inequality. The European project “Health and the Roma Community, Analysis of the Situation in Europe”, promoted by the Fundación Secretariado Gitano, was implemented in 2007 to analyse the health situation of Eu- rope’s Roma community, to address social inequalities in the area of health and to suggest policies and actions based on reliable knowledge designed to improve the health status of Europe’s Roma commu- nity and to reduce inequality. This project, funded by the European Union within the framework of the Public Health Programme, was implemented in seven European Union countries (Greece, Spain, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Portugal, Romania and Bulgaria) with the participation of public and private entities from the diff erent participat- ing countries1 and under the coordination of the Fundación Secretariado Gitano. On 1 November 2007 the European project “Health and the Roma Community, Analysis of the Situation in Europe” was launched on the basis of the National Health Survey of the Roma population in Spain conducted in 2006 by the Ministry of Health and Consumer Aff airs and the Fundación Secretariado Gi- tano. Four clear and concise objectives were pursued: • To gather objective data on the health status of the Roma population living in the participating countries and their use of health-care resources. • To make a diagnosis, based on objective data, of the health situation of the Roma community in each of the countries. • To implement eff ective strategies designed to enhance the health of the Roma community and reduce inequality and to make recommendations in this connection at all levels. • To raise the awareness of stakeholders (politicians, technical decision-makers, representatives of the Roma community, etc.) regarding the need to implement measures and strategies to im- prove the health situation of Europe’s Roma community and reduce inequality 1 EFXINI POLI – Local Authorities for Social, Cultural, Tourist, Environmental and Agricultural Development.

Bulgaria. 5 Health and the Roma Community, analysis of the situation in Europe The work was based on a survey of the Roma population in Europe regarding their health status and access to health-care resources. A total of 7,604 Roma of all ages from the seven participating countries were interviewed. Information regarding households and household members was also gathered. A group of experts was created in each country composed of professionals with diff erent backgrounds: experts on health and the Roma community, representatives of public administrations, representatives of Roma organisations, experts in research and the interpretation of statistical data, etc. These profes- sionals played an active role in the implementation of the project from the very beginning and, once all of the statistical information was processed (undertaken by the Spanish fi rm EDIS), they were entrusted with analysing the results obtained and preparing a report on the situation facing the Roma population in participating countries and, where possible, comparing it with that of the overall population. They also formulated recommendations for intervention based on the information gathered. In order to provide a global overview of the health status of the Roma population in the countries that participated in the project, this document shows the main results of each of the seven national surveys conducted and draws comparisons between countries. As already mentioned, the ultimate objective of this document is not merely to generate knowledge on the health inequalities aff ecting the Roma popu- lation in Europe, but to contribute to their reduction. Therefore, this document makes a series of action proposals targeting each of the key agents involved in the health-Roma community nexus, focusing on correcting existing inequalities. Our wish is to raise the awareness of stakeholders as to the need to im- plement measures targeting health promotion among the Roma community and reducing inequality. Lastly, it ought to be reiterated that only through the development of studies and research can we expect to accumulate suffi cient knowledge of the reality facing the Roma population so as to be able to design and set up specifi c action programmes to palliate and ultimately resolve the inequalities that persist to this day between the Roma community and the European society as a whole. 6 Health and the Roma Community, comparative analysis of the situation in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Spain Introduction Introduction The present analysis, elaborated on the basis of the information collected in the surveys realised in each one of the seven countries that participated in the European project “Health and the Roma Community: Analysis of the situation in Europe”, aims at shedding light on aspects that have been overlooked or neglected, at least in empirical terms, on the state of health of the Roma population at the European level. The following chapters address the health of the Roma community from diverse angles. They endeavour to facilitate an understanding of the situation of Roma persons with regard to their health (both objectively and subjectively), their access to and use of the principal health services, prevalent diseases and promi- nent aspects of their lifestyles, by systematically comparing the data obtained in the seven participating countries. In this sense, it provides statistics

ISBN 978–9985–9672–7–0 Dear Reader, The current survey was conducted in 2006 for Archimedes Foundation and the Esto- nian Ministry of Education and Research as part of the project EST-MOBILITY-NET, funded from the 6th EU Framework Pro- gramme for Research and Technological Estonia Development. The survey gives an overview of researcher mobility in Estonia and the factors that influence mobility, and draws parallels with similar surveys conducted in other countries. For the first time the survey studies the motivation of foreign researchers for coming to Estonia and the main reasons of Estonian researchers to go abroad to do research and to return to Estonia. The purpose of the project EST-MOBILITY- NET was to set up in Estonia a network of mobility centres giving mobile researchers and their families up-to-date information and support in all aspects related to mo- bility. The Estonian network, consisting of Archimedes Foundation, the Estonian Acad- emy of Sciences, the University of Tartu, Tallinn Technical University, the Estonian University of Life Sciences, and Tallinn Uni- versity, is a part of the pan-European ERA- MORE Network.

  • The Case of Estonia Raul Eamets
    Restricted macroeconomic policy and flexible labour market: the case of Estonia Raul Eamets First draft Introduction Following paper gives a brief overview of general macroeconomic developments in Estonia during 1992-2009 with focus on labour market and labour policy issues. We try to shed the light on factors influencing growth and explain labour market flexibility as one of the major factor of fast growth and economic adjustment. Radical and rapid introduction of market oriented institutions accompanied by high social costs are the most characteristic features of Estonian economic reforms. In general, the following characteristics describe Estonian economic policy options in 90-s: annually balanced state budget, fixed exchange rate and currency board type of monetary system, flexible labour market liberal trade policy, openness of economy, high speed of privatisation, flat income tax and low tax burden Important is that these policy options did not changed during different political coalitions. Despite of ideological platform of different parties, liberal economic policy low taxes, currency board arrangement and balanced budget has been always economic priority number one. This created trust and credibility and Estonia had one of the highest inflow of FDI per capita among post communist countries. But as result we can see also greater fall in output than in most CEE states, also relatively high inflation and very fast restructuring of economy. Also we can see increasing unemployment and drop of average nominal wages during economic recession. Because of annually balanced budget, low tax burden and currency board system we can claim that fiscal policy and monetary policy tools of government were very limited in Estonia.

  • Women's and Gender History in Central Eastern Europe, 18Th to 20Th Centuries
    Forthcoming in: Irina Livezeanu, Arpad von Klimo (eds), The Routledge History of East Central Europe since 1700 (Routledge 2015) Women‘s and Gender History1 Krassimira Daskalova and Susan Zimmermann Since the 1980s, historians working on East Central Europe, as on other parts of the world, have shown that historical experience has been deeply gendered. This chapter focuses on the modern history of women, and on gender as a category of analysis which helps to make visible and critically interrogate ―the social organization of sexual difference‖2. The new history of women and gender has established, as we hope to demonstrate in this contribution, a number of key insights. First, gender relations are intimately related to power relations. Gender, alongside dominant and non-dominant sexualities, has been invoked persistently to produce or justify asymmetrical and hierarchical arrangements in society and culture as a whole, to restrict the access of women and people identifying with non-normative sexualities to material and cultural goods, and to devalue and marginalize their ways of life. Second, throughout history both equality and difference between women and men have typically resulted in disadvantage for women. Men and women have generally engaged in different socio-cultural, political and economic activities, and this gender-based division of labor, which has itself been subject to historical change, has tended to put women in an inferior position. Even when women and men appeared as equals in one sphere of life, this perceived equality often resulted in drawbacks or an increased burden for women in another area and women‘s contribution was still devalued as compared to men‘s.

  • Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe: the Adaptation of Finland's, Sweden's and Norway's Alcohol
    Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Thomas Karlsson Nordic Alcohol Policy Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe in Europe The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 The Adaptation of Finland’s, Sweden’s and Norway’s Alcohol Policies to a New Policy Framework, 1994–2013 Nordic Alcohol Policy in Europe Policy Alcohol Nordic To what extent have Finland, Sweden and Norway adapted their alcohol policies to the framework imposed on them by the European Union and the European Economic Area since the mid-1990s? How has alcohol policies in the Nordic countries evolved between 1994 and 2013 and how strict are their alcohol policies in comparison with the rest of Europe? These are some of the main research questions in this study. Besides alcohol policies, the analyses comprise the development of alcohol consumption and cross-border trade with alcohol. In addition to a qualitative analysis, a RESEARCH quantitative scale constructed to measure the strictness of alcohol policies is RESEARCH utilised. The results from the study clearly corroborate earlier findings on the significance of Europeanisation and the Single Market for the development of Nordic alcohol policy. All in all, alcohol policies in the Nordic countries are more liberal in 2013 than they were in 1994. The restrictive Nordic policy tradition has, however, still a solid evidence base and nothing prevents it from being the base for alcohol policy in the Nordic countries also in the future.

  • Rural Women's Livelihoods and Unique Transition Experiences in Bulgaria Dissertation
    TEXTILE FACTORIES AND SUBSISTENCE PLOTS: RURAL WOMEN’S LIVELIHOODS AND UNIQUE TRANSITION EXPERIENCES IN BULGARIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Maria Catharina Polderman, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Kendra McSweeney, Adviser Approved by Dr. Paul Robbins Dr. Linda Lobao ________________________ Dr. Darla Munroe Adviser Graduate Program in Geography ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to explore rural women’s livelihoods under varying trajectories of transition, which might be unevenly distributed and experienced across space, generations, and ethnicity. Previous research has shown that post-socialist transitions are unique, complex, and spatially uneven processes, with multiple outcomes. Much, however, remains poorly understood regarding these processes. The dominant macro-level focus of neo-liberal and evolutionary theories on transition has not been particularly helpful in understanding experiences of post-socialist rural women. It is therefore critical to complement this work with a focus on the micro- scale. Literature on transition ethnography, women and economic restructuring, and feminist political ecology has shown how insights at the micro-scale can begin to predict and explain the changes in rural women’s livelihoods. Overall, it is clear that incorporation in the global economy and the economic restructuring associated with transition has profound and differential impacts on women’s livelihoods and everyday lives. This literature does not make clear, however, whether rural women in particular are ultimately better or worse off, how transition experiences vary among rural women, and to what degree these are influenced by local uneven development.

    Impact of Russia’s foreign energy policy on small European states’ security Case study: the Baltic States Liene Norberg A dissertation presented to the Faculty of Arts in the University of Malta for the degree of Master in Contemporary Diplomacy July 2009 Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation is my own original work. Liene Norberg 31 July 2009, Riga, Latvia 2 Abstract Russia is the main energy supplier for Europe and Europe is the biggest market for Russian energy sources. This interdependency is the main cause for complicated energy relations between the EU, that is struggling to merge divergent interests of its 27 unequal members on one side, and Russia, that has gained new confidence in its energy power, on the other. It is particularly difficult for small, economically and politically weak European states that are heavily dependent on Russian energy sources, like the Baltic countries, to face the global energy challenges and increasing Russian energy leverage. During the last years Russia has been using its energy as political weapon and applied coercive approach towards the countries of the ex-Soviet block, causing threat to their national security. These assertive actions have urged them and the European Union to reform their Energy Strategies and come up with several projects and activities aimed at decreasing Russia’s growing influence in the region. 3 Table of Contents List of abbreviations and acronyms ............................................................................. 6 List of Tables, Figures and Illustrations
