  • 1905 and All That: Quebec and the Issue of Chronological Symbolism
    1905 and All That: Quebec and the Issue of Chronological Symbolism by John Erik Fossum and David G. Haglund Introduction Norway’s separation from Sweden a century ago took place in a peaceful manner. This is an exception in a world where the breakup of an existing political entity can be, and often is, an extremely conflict-fraught political development. Given the peaceful nature of the process and the convivial relationship that marks the present situation between the Scandinavian neighbours, it is no surprise that Quebec sovereigntists and Canadian academics alike have sometimes turned their gaze to it, with emphasis upon its irenic nature (Young 1995). This emphasis, in turn, can find its way into a more comprehensive argument, to wit that what took place in Scandinavia during the early twentieth century might have an echo in the Canada of the early twenty-first century. It is this argument that we set out to critique in our paper. We hope to accomplish three things in our critique. First, we seek to assess the relevance of the 1905 events for a future Quebec-Canada tango. A couple of critical issues are raised in this regard: one goes to the comparability of cases in a comparative historical context; the other touches upon just how “peaceful” the 1905 process actually was. Second, we bring into the analysis the fundamental issue of “Europe.” Both Sweden as member and Norway as associated nonmember are engulfed in the transformations that have been taking place under the aegis of the European Union. If “Europe” really is to be the apple of the sovereigntists’ eye, then we want to determine under what kind of circumstances may they find that in ostensibly “leaving” Canada, they will not in fact have “left”? In this section of the paper, we therefore examine in turn as possible models for a future Canada-Quebec relationship the European Union, and the special arrangement that Norway has developed with the EU (namely, the European Economic Agreement, or EEA).

The structure of the human brain defines the limits of what can be a grammatical or a lexical rule of a language. But how a specific language emerges and changes within the biologically given boundaries is a sociohistorical process, and it should be understood and explained as such. The link between history on one hand and the grammar or the lexicon of a language on the other is the use of the language in spoken and written communication, the pro- duction of texts. Through texts history is influenced by language: the language available makes it easier to say some things than others. Through texts the rules of a language are influenced by history: the verbal interaction between people confirms or challenges the linguistic rules in force. This article is about the latter kind of influence or determination. The way we talk is only partly dependent upon current conventions: superordinate maxims of communication makes it possible, practical or necessary to deviate from the norms. What we say - or write - is therefore full of ellipses, expansions (metaphors, expanded meanings of words), borrowings and even errors etc. Some of these deviations or expansions are taken over by other language users and conventionalized as parts of the common system of grammatical and lexical rules. A couple of quite general motive forces lie behind the conventionalization of individual communicative solutions, e.g.

  • The U.S. Army in Europe Strategic Landpower in Action
    Association of the United States Army Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier October 2015 The U.S. Army in Europe Strategic Landpower in Action The recent deployment of company-sized Army elements to Poland and the Baltic States offers a ru- bric for what . global landpower . may look like going forward. With a relatively small footprint, our Army achieves strategic aims by employing trained and ready units, fully prepared for joint com- bined-arms maneuver, that are adaptive and flexible, prepared to carry out a range of operations with partner nation forces. General Daniel B. Allyn, Vice Chief of Staff, Army Remarks at AUSA’s ILW Hot Topic “Army Networks,” 9 July 2015 Introduction The growing and emerging threats to the glob- al security environment—the velocity of instabili- ty—recently compelled the Department of Defense (DoD) to reexamine its capabilities and capacity for deterrence, sustained operations and reassurance of allies and partners. In contrast to projections in earlier strategic guidance, the regional security and stability in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific have deteriorated in the past several years in ways that were not anticipated. Potential adversaries sought to negate America’s strengths, exploit its vul- nerabilities and gain temporary or local superiority in one or more capability areas. Additionally, the more extreme conditions of volatility and instability.

    Baltic Security & Defence Review Vol 15, Issue 2, 2013 Coping with a New Security Situation ² Swedish Military $WWDFKpVLQWKH%DOWLF²1939 By Fredrik Eriksson- Assistant Professor National Defence College, Military History Division, Stockholm Introduction The end of the First World War changed the security situation in the Baltic dramatically as the empires of Germany and Russia crumbled and gave rise to a range of new states with a different status in Swedish thinking ² Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. It also meant that Germany was no longer a strong regional power, but still maintained the possibility of becoming one in the future. Russia was embroiled in civil war and the Soviet-Union emerged from the ashes as the potential threat in the region. This meant that for a large part of the 1920s Sweden became a primary military power in the Baltic, yet still an unwilling one. The status of being a military power brought demands for action, which were evident in the discussions concerning Swedish intervention in the )LQQLVK&LYLO:DU7KHpOLWHVDQGWKHULJKWZHUHPRUHRr less in favour, the liberals were sceptical, and the Social Democrats strongly averse.

  • Strategic Landpower in NATO Vital for U.S
    Association of the United States Army Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier October 2014 Strategic Landpower in NATO Vital for U.S. Security Allied Land Command is the leading advocate for soldiers and land forces in NATO, responsible for ensuring their effectiveness and interoperability. Lieutenant General Frederick B. Hodges, USA Commander, NATO Allied Land Command* Introduction Today’s global security environment is defined by its complexity, unpredictability and the increasing momentum of human interaction; it is the essence of the joint and combined force to remain trained and fully ready to meet any challenge. Strategic land- power—the application of land forces (Army, Marine Corps and special operations forces) toward achiev- ing strategic outcomes across the range of military operations—provides a critical hedge against this un- certain future. The role of strategic landpower is to shape and prevail within the human domain, creating conditions that stabilize people’s daily dealings with one another and generate momentum to bring about and combined-arms capabilities to dominate the en- the nation’s strategic objectives. vironment; and winning decisively when called.
