  • VÁCLAV HAVEL and the INVASION of IRAQ (With Constant Reference to the Soviet-Led Occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968)
    Contradictions A Journal for Critical Thought Volume 2 number 2 (2018) VÁCLAV HAVEL AND THE INVASION OF IRAQ (with Constant Reference to the Soviet-led Occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968) Peter Steiner Th e fact that I’m not you doesn’t free me – at least before my conscience – from the obligation to assume a position and inform you of it… Haveľs letter to Alexander Dubček of August 9, 19691 Skimming over the front page of their favorite newspaper on Wednesday, August 21, 1968, and skipping the all too familiar masthead “Proletarians of all lands, unite!” the readers of Moscow’s Pravda came across news that suddenly made the meaning of that slogan quite relevant: “TASS was authorized to announce,” the offi cial communiqué stated in typical Soviet newspeak, “that the representatives of the Party and the gov- ernment of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic addressed the Soviet Union and other allied governments with a request to provide their brothers the Czechoslovak people with urgent help, including military force.” 1 Václav Havel, „Dopis Alexandru Dubčekovi z 9. srpna 1969“, in Václav Havel, Do různých stran. ed. Vilém Prečan (Prague: Lidové noviny, 1989), pp. 428–441, here 435. Th e abridged English translation of the letter does not contain this passage; see Václav Havel, “Letter to Alexander Dubček,” trans. A. G. Brian, in Václav Havel, Open Letters: Selected Writings 1965–1990, ed. Paul Wilson (New York: Vintage, 1992), pp. 36–49. 81 Peter Steiner Th is appeal was made because of the threat to the existing socialist order in Czecho- slovakia and to established constitutional statehood by contra-revolutionary forces in collusion with external forces inimical to socialism.

  • Between the EU and NATO: Hungary's Strategic Culture
    Between the EU and NATO: Hungary’s Strategic Culture By Marion Smith (Word count, excluding headings, bibliography, and appendices: 16,900) Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations & European Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Michael Merlingen CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2009 © Copyright by Marion Smith, 2009. All rights reserved. CEU eTD Collection Page 2 Abstract: Hungary’s experiences as a member of both the EU and NATO on the matters of relations with Russia, border security, and military structuring reveal that EU and NATO security agendas are not always complimentary. By assessing Hungary’s choices in security cooperation, it becomes clear that ideational factors heavily influence and sometimes override Hungary’s rational interests. While any Europeanisation of Hungary’s security culture is minimal at best, Hungary’s participation in EUBAM and FRONTEX could lead to further security integration. On matters of military deployments, capabilities structuring, and defense spending, Hungary overwhelming favors NATO’s needs, even while recognizing that its stated security needs are best addressed through EU security cooperation, thus revealing the dominant influence of strategic culture.

  • Spain in Europe 1996-2004 EE 07/2004 Dimensioning the Criticisms to the Spanish Policy Towards Eastern Enlargement
    Special: Spain in Europe 1996-2004 EE 07/2004 Dimensioning the criticisms to the Spanish policy towards Eastern enlargement Anna Herranz Anna Herranz PhD Candidate in International Relations at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Research Fellow in Institut Universitari d'Estudis Europeus When the Popular Party (PP) won the elections in March 1996, the Eastern enlargement was still an equation full of unknown factors: How many countries? How to negotiate? What budget? To what extent should the Union be reformed previously? And, of course, When? Nevertheless, eight years later, at the moment when Prime Minister José Maria Aznar concludes his second legislature, the enlargement process hails at a point of culmination as ten new member states will incorporate themselves 1 May 2004. This paper will explore what the position of the Spanish government has been, throughout this process of finding the unknown factors, by putting two of the most recurrent criticisms to the Spanish government’s policy towards enlargement to the test. The first, proceeding from some member states and candidate countries, is that the Spanish position has tried to hinder the enlargement. The second, coming from the main Spanish opposition parties, has been the lack of strategy of the conservative government to develop closer relations between Spain and the candidate countries. 1. Has the Spanish position been a hindering factor in the process of enlargement? Taking into account that in the Spanish case the possible costs/inconveniences of enlargement seem to be bigger than the foreseeable benefits/opportunities, an affirmative answer to this question might be expected. Clearly, there are some areas in which the material and political interests of Spain compete directly with those of the candidate countries.

  • Transatlantic Relations After Iraq by Daniel Levy, Max Pensky and John Torpey (Eds), Verso, 2005, 231
    Old Europe, New Europe, Core Europe: Transatlantic Relations After Iraq by Daniel Levy, Max Pensky and John Torpey (eds), Verso, 2005, 231. pp. John Lloyd An important part of the European left saw in the Iraq war – and particularly in the protests against it, notably those in various European cities on 15 February 2003 – an awesome moment. ‘The simultaneity of these overwhelming demonstrations – the largest since the end of the Second World War – may well, in hindsight, go down in history as a sign of the birth of a European public sphere (my italics).’ Thus wrote Jurgen Habermas and the late Jacques Derrida, two of Europe’s most notable public intellectuals, in an article, ‘February 15, or, what binds Europeans together,’ published simultaneously on May 31 2003 in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in Frankfurt and Liberation in Paris. This claim, that Europe found its common identity in that epiphanic moment, hangs over Europe still. It is the challenge that Europe ‘realise itself ’ against America. The Habermas/Derrida Statement The debate which Habermas/Derrida stimulated by their essay has been wide and deep – published in many journals, above all the FAZ. It has now been gathered together and published by Verso. To the original joint statement have been added contributions by Umberto Eco, Adolf Muschg, Richard Rorty, Fernando Savater, Gianni Vattimo, Susan Sontag, Timothy Garton Ash, Ralph Dahrendorf, Iris Marion Young, Ulrich Beck, Adam Krzeminski and others. The Habermas/ Derrida intervention – ‘both an analysis and an appeal’ – describes the attack on Baghdad in phrases of horror and condemnation (‘the civilised barbarism of coolly planned death’) and claims that the ‘power of emotion’ roused by this barbarism ‘has brought European citizens jointly to their feet.’ But, they wrote, this mobilisation only made Europe’s powerlessness the clearer: and with that, the necessity to act to create a state called Europe, which can itself be a decisive actor on the world’s stage.

  • Europe in the International Order Kuz´Niar Roman
    Studies in Politics, Security and Society 20 20 Studies in Politics, Security and Society 20 Roman Kuz´niar Roman Kuz´niar Europe in the International Order Kuz´niar Roman The subject of this work is the rise and fall of Europe’s aim to rebuild its position in global politics after the Cold War. With success in the unification of Europe and the subsequent deepening and enlargement of its integration, the Union set Europe in the itself the ambitious task of becoming a global power, even a superpower. However, starting with the first decade of the XXI century, we have witnessed International Order a rapid erosion of the international position of Europe (the EU). The author carefully analyses the causes of the EU’s failure in pursuing the role of European representative, Europe thereby pretending to the role of one of three world powers. Besides cultural and demographic trends, the author identifies the main factors leading to this failure: the divergent interests of individual European powers, their incapacity to act in a geopolitical context and the rapid erosion of Europe’s civilizational identity. The rapid decline of Europe’s international position threatens the appearance of a new and bipolar global arrangement together with the further marginalisation of Europe. The Editor inEurope the International Order Roman Kuz´niar is Professor at the Chair of Strategic Studies, University of Warsaw. His research and publications focus both on Poland’s and international security, human rights in international relations, contemporary world politics, Poland’s foreign policy, strategic issues and Europe as an international actor.

  • HUNGARIAN STUDIES 17. No. 1. Nemzetközi Magyar Filológiai
    HUNGARIAN FOREIGN POLICY ON THE THRESHOLD OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM ANDRÁS SIMONYI Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Budapest Hungary Hungary's intention with both NATO and the European Union was to "anchor" the country institutionally as soon as possible to the West. This institutional anchoring was important because we badly wanted the international investment community to understand that Hungary is part of the western structures, so businessmen have nothing to fear when they come to Hungary to invest or to be part of privatization. Keywords: foreign policy, political, economic and military alliances, European Community, NATO Hungarian foreign policy as it is conducted today has its roots in the past. Its style also has its roots in the past. It is at times radical and at other times reluctant. During the nineteenth century as well as during the twentieth century Hungary was a part of alliances with different powers. And once it regained its independ­ ence, Hungary immediately joined new alliances again. These developments cer­ tainly have had their effects on the way the country conducts its international relations today. I would argue that the romantic phase of the post-Soviet attitude in foreign policy is over.
