Siberian Expectations: an Overview of Regional Forest Policy and Sustainable Forest Management
Siberian Expectations: An Overview of Regional Forest Policy and Sustainable Forest Management July 2003 World Forest Institute Portland, Oregon, USA Authors: V.A. Sokolov, I.M. Danilin, I.V. Semetchkin, S.K. Farber,V.V. Bel'kov,T.A. Burenina, O.P.Vtyurina,A.A. Onuchin, K.I. Raspopin, N.V. Sokolova, and A.S. Shishikin Editors: A. DiSalvo, P.Owston, and S.Wu ABSTRACT Developing effective forest management brings universal challenges to all countries, regardless of political system or economic state. The Russian Federation is an example of how economic, social, and political issues impact development and enactment of forest legislation. The current Forest Code of the Russian Federation (1997) has many problems and does not provide for needed progress in the forestry sector. It is necessary to integrate economic, ecological and social forestry needs, and this is not taken into account in the Forest Code. Additionally, excessive centralization in forest management and the forestry economy occurs. This manuscript discusses the problems facing the forestry sector of Siberia and recommends solutions for some of the major ones. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Research for this book was supported by a grant from the International Research and Exchanges Board with funds provided by the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs, a division of the United States Department of State.

3. Multilateral Peace Missions
3. Multilateral peace missions SHARON WIHARTA I. Peace missions in 2002 The trend towards smaller, short-term and mandate-specific peace missions continued in 2002. Several long-standing missions were closed: the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH), the United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP) in Croatia, the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Assistance Group to Chechnya, NATO’s Task Force Fox (TFF)1 in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Mace- donia (FYROM), and the Australian-led International Peace Monitoring Team for the Solomon Islands (IPMT). In the case of two of the closed UN missions, smaller missions were set up with clear, credible and achievable mandates. After seven years in operation, UNMIBH ended its tenure at the end of 2002, and the mandate to oversee the development and strengthening of police forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina was handed over to the European Union Police Mission (EUPM).2 UNTAET was succeeded by the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET). The two other new UN missions—the United Nations Mission in Angola (UNMA) and the United Nations Assis- tance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA)––were of a more political and peace- building nature, acting as adviser to the host governments. Events in both Angola and Afghanistan prompted the reactivation of dormant UN missions. In East Timor, the largely smooth transition to the independent state of Timor- Leste in May 2002 allowed for an appropriately reduced UN engagement there. Several other missions—particularly in the Balkans—were restructured because of the growing political and security stability in these countries and the successful completion of mission mandates. -

Plants of the Genus Saxifraga L
RHODORA, Vol. 116, No. 965, pp. 25–40, 2014 E Copyright 2014 by the New England Botanical Club DOI: 10:3119/13-09; first published online April 9, 2014. INTRODUCING THE SPOTTED SAXIFRAGES: SAXIFRAGA SECT. BRONCHIALES, SECT. NOV. (SAXIFRAGACEAE) ERIC G. DECHAINE Western Washington University, Biology Department, 516 High St., Bellingham, WA 98225 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have revealed that Saxifraga sect. Trachyphyllum as currently circumscribed is polyphyletic, with the designated type, S. aspera, falling outside of the more speciose clade. Several other lines of morphological, geographic, and ecological evidence also distinguish the two distantly related groups from one another. In combination, these data necessitate the circumscription of a new section, S. sect. Bronchiales, which is described herein. The section is hypothesized to have arisen in the southern Rocky Mountains of North America, followed by northwestward expansion across Beringia and diversification among refugia. Key Words: arctic-alpine, Asia, Beringia, endemism, Haida Gwaii, Japan, Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountains, Saxifraga sect. Bronch- iales, S. sect. Trachyphyllum, Saxifragaceae, Siberia Plants of the genus Saxifraga L. (Saxifragaceae Juss.) are found primarily in the arctic, montane, and temperate environments of the northern hemisphere, but also in South America and northern Africa. The approximately 400 plus species of saxifrages are defined by a more or less consistent floral structure of five sepals, five petals, ten stamens in two whorls (outer opposite sepals and inner opposite petals), two carpels that are united at least in part, and an absence of a free hypanthium, though vegetative characters vary considerably (Brouillet and Elvander 2009; Gornall 1987; McGregor 2008; Webb and Gornall 1989). -

Illusion of Power: Russia After the South Caucasus Battle
Illusion of Power: Russia after the South Caucasus Battle CEPS Working Document No. 311/February 2009 Stanislav Secrieru Abstract The war in the South Caucasus sent shockwaves throughout the post-Soviet world, European capitals and across the Atlantic, making more urgent the demand for a re- evaluation of policies towards Russia. The projection of hard power in Georgia generated a number of unintended consequences for the Russian state. The crisis and war unveiled many of Russia’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities across four crucial dimensions: the military, the ‘power vertical’ and federalism, the economy and Russia’s international position. This paper aims at reassessing Russia’s military, political, economic and diplomatic might after the battle in the South Caucasus. The research concludes with proposals for a new Western strategy on Russia and the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood which would ensure an undivided and sustainable European order.

Yugoslav Foreign Policy: Continuity and Changes
YUGOSLAV FOREIGN POLICY: CONTINUITY AND CHANGES PREDRAG SIMIC Predrag Simic is the Director of the Institute of International Politics and Economics, Belgrade. INTRODUCTION Changes in Yugoslav foreign policy began towards the end of the eighties under the influence of numerous external and internal factors which called for a profound revision of the country’s foreign policy agenda in order to meet the new realities in Europe and the world. Yugoslavia emerged from World War II as a socialist country, but after conflict with the Soviet Union in 1948, it solicited the support of the West, and, finally, in the mid-fifties, it found a comfortable position as a strategic buffer between the East and West, whilst at the beginning of the sixties she likewise became one of the leading countries of the Non-Aligned Movement. The end of the Cold War changed this international position: the changes in Eastern Europe made her lose her position as a strategic buffer and marginalized the significance of the Non-Aligned Movement in international relations. The drastic internal crisis that incited centrifugal aspirations among the Yugoslav republics likewise had its effect, necessitating an immediate revision of her foreign policy towards European integration. Yugoslavia thus cautiously began approaching the European Community, but this process was suddenly shattered when civil war broke out in June 1991 and soon resulted in the secession of four Yugoslav republics and the creation of a new Federal Republic of Yugoslav (FRY) comprised only of Serbia and Montenegro. The events in Slovenia, Croatia (the Krayina) and Bosnia and the international sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council in May 1992 on the new Yugoslavia, condemning her for alleged interference in the war in Bosnia, likewise dictated changes in her foreign political agenda. -
