Raugoties uz nâkotni, jo îpaði svarîgi ir izvçrtçt lîdz ðim paveikto. Mums ir labas projektu idejas un spçja tos sagatavot, ko apliecina gan apstiprinâto un uzsâk- to struktûrfondu projektu skaits, gan apjomîgais projektiem piesaistîtais finan- sçjums. Uz 2006. gada aprîli projekti apstiprinâti par 322 miljoniem latu, kas atbilst 74% no kopçjâ pieejamâ 439 miljonu latu struktûrfondu finansçjuma, kas pieejams 2004.–2006. gadu periodâ. Cipari runâ paði par savi – ES fondu finansçjums jau ðobrîd devis vçrâ òemamu ieguldîjumu Latvijas taut- saimniecîbâ. Vienlaicîgi, runâjot par Eiropas fondu ieguldîjumu Latvijas izaugsmç, bieþi tiek aizmirsts, ka ne vienmçr izlietoto eiro apjomâ ir galvenâ pievienotâ vçrtîba. Eiropas finansçjums nav paredzçts tçrçðanai ikdienas vajadzîbâm, bet gan ieguldâms tâ, lai panâktu pârmaiòas un lai dzîvotu labâk. Tâdçï lielâkâ ðo fondu vçrtîba ir labâs projektu idejas un cilvçki, kas tos realizç. Finanðu ministrijas izdevums "ES struktûrfondu projektu grâmata 2006" iepazîstina ar projektiem un "taustâmiem" rezultâtiem, ko iespçjams sasniegt ar Eiropas fondu palîdzîbu visdaþâdâkajâs tautsaimniecîbas jomâs. Pirmajâ izdevumâ iekïauti projekti, kas uzsâkti 2004. un 2005. gadâ un daïa no kuriem jau noslçgusies, kâ arî projekti, kuru îstenoðana vçl turpinâsies 2006. un 2007. gadâ. Ceram, ka ðî izdevuma lasîtâjiem iepazîðanâs ar struktûrfondu projektu piemçriem veicinâs vçlmi ar ES fondu palîdzîbu îstenot arî savu ideju ja ne ðobrîd, tad nâkamajâ 7 gadu periodâ. ES fondu apjomîgo investîciju mçríis taèu ir Latvijas iedzîvotâju dzîves kvalitâtes uzlaboðana, kam ieg- uldîjumu var dot ikviena ideja, kas îstenojusies veiksmîgâ Eiropas fondu pro- jektâ. Uz tikðanos nâkamajâ izdevumâ! Andþs Ûbelis Finanðu ministrijas valsts sekretâres vietnieks Struktûrfondu vadoðâs iestâdes vadîtâjs Dear Reader, Latvia has already experienced the first two years of the European Union Structural Funds implementation process, whereas the planning activities for the EU investments in 2007–2013 are currently underway. The assessment of the past accomplishments is of critical importance when looking into the future. We can boast good project ideas and development capacity, illustrated by the number of approved and commenced SF projects, as well the impres- sive amount of funding committed. By April 2006, the net worth of the approved projects had increased to LVL 322 million or 74 % of the total of LVL 439 million made available to the country for the 2004 –2006 programming period. The figures speak for themselves – the EU funds have made a signifi- cant contribution to the Latvian economy. At the same time, considering the contribution of European funds to the growth of Latvia, it is often forgotten that the main value added is sometimes only loosely related to the amount of euros spent. The purpose of the EU funding is not to cover daily expenditure, but rather to make investments for change and a better life. Consequently, the main value of the funds lies in project ideas and people implementing them. The book "EU Structural Funds Projects 2006", published by the Ministry of Finance, introduces projects and tangible results achieved in various sectors of the economy by leveraging the EU funds. The first edition of the book covers projects commenced in 2004 and 2005 – a part of them have already been concluded, whereas others will continue through 2006 and 2007. We sincere- ly hope that this publication about the SF projects will encourage our readers to propose their own ideas for implementation – if not in this, then at least in the next 7–year period. The purpose of the impressive EU funds investments is, after all, to improve the standard of living of Latvian people – an aspiration that everyone can support by contributing ideas implemented in successful EU funds projects.

In the years between the two World Wars the concept became more political in nature: after Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania obtained their independence in 1918 the region gradually became understood as the geographical entity made up of these three republics. Although the Baltic region is geographically fairly homogeneous, each of the newly restored republics possesses unique geographical and strategic features.

  • Path Dependency and Landscape Biographies in Latgale, Latvia: a Comparative Analysis
    Europ. Countrys. · 3· 2010 · p. 151-168 DOI: 10.2478/v10091-010-0011-7 European Countryside MENDELU PATH DEPENDENCY AND LANDSCAPE BIOGRAPHIES IN LATGALE, LATVIA: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Anita Zarina1 Received 30 September 2010; Accepted 15 October 2010 Abstract: This paper focuses on the path dependency of landscapes in Latgale, Latvia from the present perspective at the regional and local scale. During the last centuries Latvia’s landscapes have passed through radical changes, which were driven by political events. Each new political era discarded the ideas of the previous era and subsequently reorganized the land(scape) according to the new views. At the regional level the role of history is significant in analyzing landscapes while at the local level the main force is people, often themselves not knowing the history of the place but putting the existing path dependency into practise or disregarding it. The biographies of two former villages are discussed: one which is nearly deserted but filled with forgotten or neglected cultural heritage values and the other – alive and interwoven with some old (almost forgotten) cultural practises. Path dependency in landscapes is relevant only regarding the attachment of people to a place and the experience on which their further desires are based. Key words: Landscape biographies, landscape change, Latgale, path dependency Rezumējums: Raksta pamatā ir pēctecīguma (path dependence) izpausmes Latgales ainavā reģionālā un lokālā mērogā no šodienas skatupunkta. Pēdējo gadsimtu laikā Latvijā ir notikušas dramatiskas ainavas pārmaiņas, to galvenie rosinātāji – politisko varu maiņas. Katra jaunā politiskā ēra veidoja jaunas ainavas saskaņā ar tās ideoloģiju un idejām. Rakstā tiek diskutēts, ka reģionāla mēroga ainavas studijas ir cieši saistītas ar vēstures izpratni un tās lomu, kamēr lokālā mērogā galvenie ainavas veidotāji ir cilvēki un to darbības, kuri bieži vien pat neapzinās vietas/reģiona vēsturi, bet praktizē vai ignorē daudzas paražas vai telpiskās struktūras pēctecības ainavā.

  • Inequality and Governance in Latvia
    IN DEFIANCE OF FATE Ethnic Structure, Inequality and Governance of the Public Sector in Latvia Artis Pabriks 2003 Part of UNRISD Project on Ethnic Structure, Inequality and Governance of the Public Sector. All unauthorized citation, duplication or distribution prohibited without the approval of UNRISD and the authors. Introduction This report discuss the issue of ethnic equality and governance in respect to socio- political stability in Latvia from the historic perspective. Latvia, just like the overwhelming majority of modern states is multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country. Latvian history and geography is a relevant factor in order to understand the dynamics of ethnic relations and ethnopolitics. Geopolitically, Latvia is squeezed on the shores of the Baltic between larger powers, Russia, Germany, Poland, and Sweden. Time to time, each of these countries was eager to dominate the region and its population by political, economic, and cultural means thus influencing Latvia’s ethnic composition as well as ethnic relations. During the two World Wars of the 20th century, country was twice turned into extensive war zone. It has experienced several occupations and dominance of totalitarian ideologies. Latvia was ruled by democratic, authoritarian, and totalitarian regimes one after another. It has experienced market economy as well as centralized communist rule. Its population went through economically wealthy periods and faced hunger. People of Latvia have experienced respect and humanity in their mutual relations just like they have been facing terror, humiliation, deportations and death. Most of political analysts would argue that these are not conditions favouring independent and democratic statehood. Indeed, the world, even Europe knows dozens of ethnic groups and nations much larger in size and in economic power which never have experienced their own statehood.

  • “Demene” in Latvia, Daugavpils District
    Acta Universitatis Latviensis, 2007, Vol. 723, Biology, pp. 47–52 A new Bombina bombina L. population “Demene” in Latvia, Daugavpils District Aija Pupina*, Mihails Pupins Daugavpils University, p.k. 61, Daugavpils LV-5401, Latvia *Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bombina bombina L. is a rare and protected Latvian and European animal. Before 2006, three Latvian Bombina bombina populations were known: the “Ilgas” and “Ainavas” populations in the Daugavpils District and the “Bauska” population in the Bauska District. On 21 June, 2006 we found a new Bombina bombina population in the vicinities of Demene in the Daugavpils District in the southeast part of Latvia. Eight localities were found with ~70 vocalizing males in total. Th is population “Demene” in 2006 is the largest population of Bombina bombina on the northern border of the distribution range of a species. Th us, the given largest Latvian population of Bombina bombina plays very important role in conservation of Bombina bombina in the Latvian and the European fauna. Key words: Bombina bombina, new population, Latvia. Introduction Bombina bombina L. is a rare and protected Latvian animal. Bombina bombina is an amphibian species with the small number of individuals in Latvia. Before 2004 only two stable Latvian populations were known: the “Bauska” population in the Bauska District and the population “Ilgas” from the Daugavpils District (Pupina, Pupins 2005a). Th e “Ilgas” population is known since the 1970s (G. Kasparsons, personal communication). Th is population is stable, regularly observed (Pupins, Skute 1992; Barsevskis 2002; Pupina, Pupins 2005b), but there is a decline in their number and in borrowed habitats due to natural overgrowing and degradations of waterbodies, and due to the predatory introduced Far East invasive fi sh species Perccottus glenii Dyb.
