From the middle of the 14th century until the middle of the16th century, the Central and Southern parts of Estonia and Northern areas of Latvia constituted Old-Livonia under the rule of the Livonian Order. The same Estonian and Livonian provinces retained their special status under the so-called Baltic Special Rights in the Tsarist Russian Empire starting in the 18th century. With the fall of the Tsarist Russian Empire and October revolution that followed it, in 1918 Estonia and Latvia gained the status of independent states. In 1940 Estonia and Latvia were incorporated into the Soviet Union. After the half-century-long Soviet era, Estonia and Latvia regained their independence in 1991. A common past in the Soviet Union had equalised the levels of progress between the three countries,

Estonia’s Divided Border Cities – Co-operation and Conflict Within and beyond the EU Thomas Lundén Boundary Theory Aboundary is a line, usually in space, at which a certain state of affairs is terminated and replaced by another state of affairs. In nature, boundaries mark the separation of different physical states (molecular configurations), e.g. the boundary between water and air at the surface of the sea, between wood and bark in a tree stem, or bark and air in a forest. The boundaries within an organized society are of a different character. Organization means structuration and direction, i.e. individuals and power resources are directed towards a specific, defined goal. This, in turn, requires delimitations of tasks to be done, as well as of the area in which action is to take place. The organization is defined in a competition for hegemony and markets, and with the aid of technology. But this game of definition and authority is, within the limitations prescribed by nature, governed by human beings.

  • The Courlander Experience in Tobago
    THE COURLANDER EXPERIENCE IN TOBAGO THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA: A maritime nation on the Baltic sea with excellent ports, 64.589km2 in area and a population of nearly 2.000.000 inhabitants. There are apx. 1.500.000 Latvians living in Latvia and the rest of the world. 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Latvia. COURLANDERS: Latvians from the province of Courland (Kurzeme). In the days of the Duchy of Courland and Semgallia, a “Courlander” could also be an inhabitant of the province of Semgallia. “Courlander” is a literal translation of the Latvian kurzemnieks. The academic word for anything pertaining to Courland is Couronian. THE DUCHY OF COURLAND AND SEMGALLIA: A de facto independent nation formed in 1561 and existing until 1795, comprised of 2 modern day provinces of Latvia, and ruled by the German-Baltic dukes of Courland, although officially a part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The flags of Courland consisted of a red and white 2 band flag and the red and black “crab” flag which originated in Tobago, as there are no crabs of this type in Latvia. As such, it can be considered the first flag of Tobago. CHRONOLOGY 1639 Sent by Duke Jacob, probably involuntarily, 212 Courlanders arrive in Tobago. Unprepared for tropical conditions, they eventually perish. 1642 (possibly 1640) Duke Jacob engages a Brazilian, capt. Cornelis Caroon (later, Caron) to lead a colony comprised basically of Dutch Zealanders, that probably establishes itself in the flat, southwestern portion of the island. Under attack by the Caribs, 70 remaining members of the original 310 colonists are evacuated to Pomeron, Guyana, by the Arawaks.

David J. Trimbach* and Shannon O’Lear Department of Geography, University of Kansas, 1475 Jayhawk Blvd., 213 Lindley Hall, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA (Received 31 May 2015; accepted 15 October 2015) Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and involvement in Ukrainian border regions pose serious consequences and questions. The precedence of Russian military intervention illustrates the porosity and potential for conflicts in other post-Soviet border regions. The Estonian borderland city of Narva, populated predominantly by Russian-speakers, is one such potential site of tension. Based on preliminary findings and data collected in Narva in 2013, this article provides an overview of citizenship, identity, and geographic affiliation issues among Narva’s Russian-speaking commu- nity in an effort to generate insights as to how any Russian overtures and potential intervention might be received in Narva.

  • Lifelong Learning Strategy Framework for the Vidzeme Region
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 77 ( 2015 ) 104 – 112 ICTE in Regional Development Lifelong Learning Strategy Framework for the Vidzeme Region Kaspars Osisa*, Sarma Cakulaa, Atis Kapenieksa, Georgios Zarifisb aVidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Cesu str.4, Valmiera, LV-4200, Latvia bAristotle University of Thessaloniki Greece, Thessaloniki, GR-54124, Greece Abstract In today’s rapidly changing environment, lifelong learning is becoming a part of everyday life. Latvian regions face problems due to the fact that many well-educated people choose to work in the capital. There is no comprehensive strategy or technological support for lifelong learning in the Latvian regions which could upgrade people’s competences and allow them to combine learning with work and family life. In this regard, it is important to create an overall strategy for lifelong learning which would incorporate learning as part of an ongoing lifelong process. The goal of the paper is to create a theoretical framework and provide new perspectives on the development of lifelong learning in the Vidzeme region. The paper is focused on identifying the major steps needed to make lifelong learning technologically viable in the Vidzeme region. The requirements and potential of each Vidzeme municipality have been researched for the purpose of improving the efficiency and quality of lifelong learning in the region. The paper represents the theoretical preconditions for qualitative development of lifelong learning in the region and presents a technological model which would provide the lifelong learning process with ongoing technological support. ©© 20152016 The The Authors.

  • 7 Tradition-Based Concepts of Death, Burial and Afterlife: a Case from Orthodox Setomaa, South-Eastern Estonia
    Heiki Valk 7 Tradition-based Concepts of Death, Burial and Afterlife: A Case from Orthodox Setomaa, South-Eastern Estonia Introduction Interpreting the archaeological record is an eternal question for archaeology. One way to escape it is to remain limited by presenting data in a descriptive manner, but such an approach does not pave the way for deeper comprehension. To understand the record, different tools should be used for interpretations. Concerning burial archaeology of post-medieval times, ethnological and folkloric data can be of great value, especially if originating from a geographically and culturally close tradition-based context. If customs recorded in burial archaeology correspond to those known from folkloric or ethnological context, oral data can provide an extra dimension for understanding the former concepts of death and afterlife, also in reference to the spheres that are not reflected in the archaeological record at all, thus putting some flesh on the bones of burial archaeology. The cultural convergence of Europe has unified the concepts of death and afterlife in two powerful waves. First, in the context of Christianization, and second in the frameworks of modernization and secularization, especially since the 20th century. As the result, earlier concepts of death and burial, those emerging with their roots from pre-Christian times, have disappeared or have been pushed to the fringes of memory. However, peripheral areas where cultural processes have been slower and old traditions had a longer persistence, sometimes enable the researchers to look into the past with death concepts totally different from both those of modern times, as well as of those of Christian character.
