  • Poland 2017 International Religious Freedom Report
    POLAND 2017 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religion and states that religion is a personal choice, and all churches and religious organizations have equal rights. An agreement with the Holy See determines relations with the Roman Catholic Church and grants it privileges not accorded to other religious groups. Statutes adopted because of agreements between the government and other churches and religious organizations determine relations with those groups. The criminal code prohibits public speech offensive to religious sentiment. The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed an appeal that, if successful, would have led to the deregistering of the Union of Progressive Jewish Communities in Poland. The government made a final determination on 60 communal property restitution cases involving claims by religious communities during the year, out of approximately 3,600 outstanding. The leader of the governing Law and Justice Party (PiS) met with Jewish groups after they wrote to him expressing concerns over growing anti-Semitism. Parliament asked the interior minister to respond after Muslim groups wrote to the speaker of the lower house asking him to protect the Muslim minority. The interior minister ordered an investigation after Holocaust survivor groups discovered that a 1999 video of naked people laughing and playing tag in a concentration camp gas chamber had been filmed in the former Nazi Stutthof concentration camp. PiS members made statements against Muslim migrants, and one party parliamentarian tweeted an anti-Semitic comment. The PiS leader denounced anti-Semitism, and President Andrzej Duda said the country had a duty to speak out about the extermination of its Jewish population by the Nazis during WWII.

  • Euro-Atlantic Discourse in Georgia from the Rose Revolution to the Defeat of the United National Movement
    FACULTEIT POLITIEKE EN SOCIALE WETENSCHAPPEN INSTRUMENTALISING EURO-ATLANTICISM EURO-ATLANTIC DISCOURSE IN GEORGIA FROM THE ROSE REVOLUTION TO THE DEFEAT OF THE UNITED NATIONAL MOVEMENT Frederik Coene 6 December 2013 A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Political Sciences Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Rik Coolsaet Co-supervisors: Prof. Dr. Bruno De Cordier and Dr. Oliver Reisner FOREWORD Pursuing a doctoral programme is both an academic and a personal challenge. When a student embarks on this long and ambitious adventure, he is not aware of the numerous hindrances and delightful moments that will cross his path in the following years. Also I have experienced a mosaic of emotions and stumbled over many obstacles during my journey, but I have been fortunate to be surrounded by a large number of great colleagues and friends. Without their support, I might not have brought this to a successful end. Two people have unconditionally supported me for the past thirty five years. My parents have done anything they could to provide me with a good education and to provide me with all opportunities to develop myself. I may not always have understood or appreciated their intentions, but without them I would not have been able to reach my humble achievements. I want to thank my supervisors Prof. Dr. Rik Coolsaet, Prof. Dr. Bruno De Cordier and Dr. Oliver Reisner for their guidance and advice during the research and writing of this dissertation. A large number of people helped to collect data and information, brought new insights during fascinating discussions, and provided their feedback on early drafts of the dissertation.

    Rok 2016 był pierwszym, w którym pełna odpowiedzialność za kształtowanie i prowadzenie polskiej polityki zagranicznej została powierzona nowej większości sejmowej. 29 stycznia 2016 r. w imieniu rządu premier Beaty Szydło informację o jego polityce zagranicznej przedstawił Sejmowi minister spraw zagranicznych Witold Waszczykowski. Najważniejszym wyzwaniem, przed jakim stanął nowy rząd, był zbliżający się szczyt NATO, który zgodnie z postanowieniami szczytu w Walii w 2014 r. miał odbyć się w Warszawie. W związku z agresją Rosji na Ukrainę w 2014 r., aneksją Krymu i okupowaniem przez Rosję wschodnich terytoriów Ukrainy radykalnie zmieniła się sytuacja bezpieczeństwa w Europie.
