  • Interests and Politics in Post-Communist East Europe
    Shaping a New Politics in Poland: Interests and Politics in Post-Communist East Europe by David Ost Dept of Political Science, Hobart and William Smith Colleges and Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies, Harvard University Program on Central and Eastern Europe Working Paper Series #8 TIris is a revised version of paper presented at conference on "Dilemmas of Transition from State Socialism in East Central Europe," Center for European Studies, Harvard University, March 15-17, 1991. Abstract Hopes that East Europe would see a swift transition to liberal market democracy are frustrated by the weakness of civil society in the post-communist period, which is a legacy of the past. Whereas market systems divide interest groups into what Oaus Offe calls "class organizations" (market-based interests) and "policy-takers" (groups dependent on state transactions), communist systems create state-dependent groups alone. By nationalizing all property and making citizens employees of the state, state socialism provides a weak foundation for diverse interest representation, and thus for a liberal polity. Post-communist social groups do not have a clear sense of where their interests lie. Solidarity in Poland, for example, is wracked by contradictory commitments to protect workers and to help introduce a market economy. Contemporary East European politics revolves around three alternative programs; neo-liberalism, populism, and social democratic corporatism. As the first option is undermined because it seems to benefit the old elite, a politically illiberal populism is likely to become the dominant tendency. Walesa's success in Poland is due to his ability to combine all three alternatives.

  • NASA and Planetary Exploration
    **EU5 Chap 2(263-300) 2/20/03 1:16 PM Page 263 Chapter Two NASA and Planetary Exploration by Amy Paige Snyder Prelude to NASA’s Planetary Exploration Program Four and a half billion years ago, a rotating cloud of gaseous and dusty material on the fringes of the Milky Way galaxy flattened into a disk, forming a star from the inner- most matter. Collisions among dust particles orbiting the newly-formed star, which humans call the Sun, formed kilometer-sized bodies called planetesimals which in turn aggregated to form the present-day planets.1 On the third planet from the Sun, several billions of years of evolution gave rise to a species of living beings equipped with the intel- lectual capacity to speculate about the nature of the heavens above them. Long before the era of interplanetary travel using robotic spacecraft, Greeks observing the night skies with their eyes alone noticed that five objects above failed to move with the other pinpoints of light, and thus named them planets, for “wan- derers.”2 For the next six thousand years, humans living in regions of the Mediterranean and Europe strove to make sense of the physical characteristics of the enigmatic planets.3 Building on the work of the Babylonians, Chaldeans, and Hellenistic Greeks who had developed mathematical methods to predict planetary motion, Claudius Ptolemy of Alexandria put forth a theory in the second century A.D. that the planets moved in small circles, or epicycles, around a larger circle centered on Earth.4 Only partially explaining the planets’ motions, this theory dominated until Nicolaus Copernicus of present-day Poland became dissatisfied with the inadequacies of epicycle theory in the mid-sixteenth century; a more logical explanation of the observed motions, he found, was to consider the Sun the pivot of planetary orbits.5 1.

    14 | ASK MAGAZINE | STORY THE CASSINI RESOURCE EXCHANGE BY RANDII R. WESSEN AND DAVID PORTER ASK MAGAZINE | 15 Saturn sits enveloped by the full splendor of its stately rings. Between the blinding light of day and the dark of night, there is a strip of twilight on the globe where colorful details in the atmosphere can be seen. PhotoCredit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute 16 | ASK MAGAZINE It’s amazing what you can do when you don’t have a choice. That exactly describes the Cassini mission to Saturn when its twin sister CRAF (Comet Rendezvous and Asteroid Flyby mission) was canceled. CRAF and Cassini were designed together by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA as part of the Mariner Mark II series of spacecraft in the early 1990s. The thinking was that developing a common spacecraft for deep space exploration would mean substantial cost savings for both the comet and Saturn missions. In addition, the common spacecraft design would give the Saturn craft the benefit of the larger fuel tanks needed for CRAF’s orbital mission around a small comet, and CRAF would get a large communication antenna from Cassini, which needed such a dish to return data from a billion miles away. This design approach also promised to benefit all future outer planet spacecraft. Unfortunately, the cost of the two spacecraft grew too large, to help them if they got into trouble? Instrument teams tend to and in 1992 CRAF was canceled. This placed Cassini in a think reserves are their own personal insurance policies. precarious position politically.

  • Power, Privilege and Ideology in Communism's Negotiated Collapse
    Power, Privilege and Ideology in Communism’s Negotiated Collapse Michael D. Kennedy “Who gets what and why?” The American sociologist Gerhard Lenski framed this most succinct question in the study of social stratification.1 He argued that, over the course of history, there have been two basic answers. The conservative thesis, defending the status quo, explains “the existing distribution of rewards as just, equitable, and frequently also inevitable.” The radical antithesis is critical, “denouncing the distributive system as basically unjust and unnecessary”.2 Lenski himself offers a synthesis of these two viewpoints in the explanation of inequality in human societies over the course of their existence. The Polish Round Table negotiations of 1989 suggest a different synthesis. While only a few months in a single country, these talks nevertheless altered the course of human history by providing a model for the radical, but peaceful, negotiation of fundamental differences in the collapse of communism. The making of communism’s negotiated collapse depended on communists and liberals coming together to articulate, along with leaders of the Catholic Church, a common need to compromise and develop a more open and pluralist, if more unequal, Poland. It also depended, however, on the loss of power across the board. In this essay, I shall draw on various reflections on the Polish Round Table talks of 1989, most especially a conference my colleagues and I organized at the University of Michigan on April 7-10, 1999 for some of the principal participants in these talks that ended communism.3 I shall begin, however, with additional reflections on the 1 Gerhard Lenski, Power and Privilege: A Theory of Social Stratification (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1984 [1966]), 2.

  • POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Scho
    MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. By Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Washington, DC April 11, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Siobhan K. Doucette All Rights Reserved ii MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrzej S. Kamiński, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the rapid growth of Polish independent publishing between 1976 and 1989, examining the ways in which publications were produced as well as their content. Widespread, long-lasting independent publishing efforts were first produced by individuals connected to the democratic opposition; particularly those associated with KOR and ROPCiO. Independent publishing expanded dramatically during the Solidarity-era when most publications were linked to Solidarity, Rural Solidarity or NZS. By the mid-1980s, independent publishing obtained new levels of pluralism and diversity as publications were produced through a bevy of independent social milieus across every segment of society. Between 1976 and 1989, thousands of independent titles were produced in Poland. Rather than employing samizdat printing techniques, independent publishers relied on printing machines which allowed for independent publication print-runs in the thousands and even tens of thousands, placing Polish independent publishing on an incomparably greater scale than in any other country in the Communist bloc. By breaking through social atomization and linking up individuals and milieus across class, geographic and political divides, independent publications became the backbone of the opposition; distribution networks provided the organizational structure for the Polish underground.

KENNEDY CENTER FOR JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS 2 NOWHERE TO TURN: THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAILURE TO MONITOR HUMAN RIGHT VIOLATIONS IN WESTERN SAHARA AND TINDOUF REFUGEE CAMPS I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Sahrawi are the indigenous people of Western Sahara, who descended from Berber and Arab tribes.1 The following is a report on the human rights situation facing the Sahrawi people who reside in the disputed territory of Western Sahara under Moroccan control and in the Sahrawi refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria. Much of the information contained in this report is based on information gained from interviews and meetings during a visit to the region of an international delegation led by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights (RFK Center). For nearly 40 years, both the Kingdom of Morocco and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguía el Hamra and Río de Oro (POLISARIO Front) have claimed sovereignty over Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony. After years of armed conflict, in 1991 the United Nations (UN) established the Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), a peacekeeping mission to oversee the cease-fire between the Kingdom of Morocco and the POLISARIO Front and to organize and ensure a referendum on self-determination. Today, 22 years after the establishment of MINURSO, the referendum has yet to take place.
