Overview of Bilateral Relations Overview of bilateral relations North America, Western and Southern Europe The summer of 2007 marked 85 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Estonia and the United States of America. The U.S. policy of non-recognition of the forcible incorporation of Estonia into the Soviet Union is very valuable for Estonia. Giving a speech in June at the Heritage Foundation on the occasion of the 85th anni- versary of diplomatic relations between the Baltic states and the United States, Daniel Fried, the Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, joked that in all likelihood, he and Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet could exchange speeches – the message would be the same. The common values of Estonia and the U.S. are not just empty words. A similar vision of the world truly exists. The meeting between Foreign Minister Urmas Paet, the Latvian and Lithuanian foreign ministers, and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice within the framework of the anniversary of diplomatic relations was also very open and friendly. Testimony to the common view of history is provided by the establishment of a memorial to the victims of communism in Washington DC, which Estonia supported with a contri- bution. In 2008, there are plans to start up a virtual museum to introduce the crimes of communism, to which Estonia was the fi rst country to make a fi nancial contribution. If the highlight of 2006 was the visit of President George W. Bush to Estonia, then 2007 was graced by the visits of the Estonian heads of state and government to the United States. The visit of President Toomas Hendrik Ilves to the U.S. at the invitation of Presi- dent George W. Bush took place in June 2007, and included meetings with Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives. In November 2007, Prime Minister Andrus Ansip made a working visit to the United States. The Prime Minister met with U.S. Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman, and Carlos Gutierrez, the Secretary of Commerce. At the end of November, Minister of Defence Jaak Aaviksoo also made a working trip to the U.S., where he met with Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Gordon England, the Deputy Secretary of Defence. 83 2007 ESTONIAN MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS YEARBOOK 2007 confi rmed the continuation of mutual relations between Estonia and Ireland as reliable co-operation partners. This is proved by joint participation in the EU Nordic Battle Group. Within the framework of the European Union, there are also other topics that unite the two countries – energy issues, competitiveness, and innovation. In the case of the latter, Estonia has quite a bit to learn from Ireland. A sign of the traditionally close relations between the two countries is the invitation issued in spring 2007 by Irish President Mary McAleese to her Estonian colleague to visit Ireland. The state visit will probably be one of next year’s most important events, and will vividly characterise the friendly and direct relations between the two countries. In relations between Estonia and the United Kingdom, 2007 can be characterised by a partnership in both the EU and NATO contexts. During the last year, an important expression of bilateral activity was defence-related co-operation. In September the minesweeper Admiral Cowan was inaugurated at the Tallinn Mine Port. This is the fi rst of the naval vessels to be procured from Great Britain. An Estonian contingent participates along with British soldiers in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the Helmand province of southern Afghanistan. Prime Minister Andrus Ansip and President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, who visited Great Britain at the beginning of the year, focused on EU topics in their public appearances at the London School of Economics and Oxford Students’ Union respectively, in order to introduce the viewpoint of a new member state. Work-intensive contacts continued between the Estonian and British parliaments. In June, Sven Mikser, the chairman of the Riigikogu’s Great Britain Parliamentary Group, and Marko Mihkelson, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, visited their colleagues in London. During the fall of last year, a delegation of Liberal Democrats from the House of Commons and Gordon Marsden, the chairman of the Estonian Friendship Group in the House of Commons, visited Estonia. Cultural relations between Estonia and Great Britain intensifi ed further in 2007. Of the numerous musical events, the following deserve special mention: the premiere of Arvo Pärt’s work dedicated to Lennart Meri by the London Isis Chamber Orchestra; concerts by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra con- ducted by the Estonian conductors Neeme Järvi and Paavo Järvi; and performances by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Olari Elts. The works of Es- tonian artists reached the British public in the galleries and exhibition halls of Cardiff and Glasgow. The year’s literary event was the publication of Viivi Luik’s The Beauty of History in English. 84 OVERVIEW OF WORLDWIDE BILATERAL RELATIONS 2007 2007 again demonstrated that relations between Estonia and Germany are very good. Early in the year, from 10-12 February, President Toomas Hendrik Ilves visited Germany. Meetings took place with Chancellor Angela Merkel and Federal President Horst Köhler. The main topics were the Reform Treaty, the Western Balkans, and EU-Russia relations. In addition, the importance of a common EU energy policy was acknowledged, as was the need for intensifying partnership relations between the EU and the U.S. On 15 March, a meeting took place in Tallinn between Foreign Minister Urmas Paet and Peter Harry Carstensen, the Premier of the State of Schleswig-Holstein. In addition to bilateral relations, the main topics of the meeting were the Reform Treaty and EU maritime policy. In May, Interior Minister of the State of Schleswig-Holstein Ralf Stegner also paid a visit to Estonia, and renewed a co-operation agreement. Germany’s Minister of Economics and Technology, Michael Glos, visited Tallinn from 3-4 May. At a meeting with Prime Minister Andrus Ansip and Juhan Parts, the Minister of Economic Affairs, Estonian-German economic relations were discussed and special attention was paid to the EU’s common energy policies. From 18-20 April, a visit by Susanne Kastner, Vice-President of the Bundestag, took place. The topics under discussion included the German EU Presidency, the Reform Treaty, energy policies, and bilateral relations. One of last year’s high points was the offi cial visit of German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier to Estonia from 10-11 July. At meetings with President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Prime Minister Andrus Ansip and Foreign Minister Urmas Paet, EU topics, as well as Afghanistan, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa were under discussion. As in previous years, numerous cultural events also took place in 2007. Estonian cinema received great recognition last year, when the beloved animated fi lm Lotte from Gadgetville became the fi rst Estonian fi lm to be distributed in Germany. From 19-20 April, an exhibition and fi lm program entitled Having Soul – 50 Jahre Nukufi lm Tallinn took place at the Dresden Film Festival. Also worth mentioning is the success of Estonian design in Germany. From 30-31 March, Estonia was a partner country at the Stuttgart design conference, Face to Face 7. Great recognition was also given to two Estonian companies – Aquator and Thulema – in the form of a design management certifi cate of honour, presented in Essen in November 2007. Various exhibitions, poetry evenings, and concerts continually take place at the Estonian Embassy. From January to September, an exhibition of Meiu Münt’s paintings entitled 85 2007 ESTONIAN MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS YEARBOOK “The Day is Dark” was on display; and in November, a photo exhibition on Arvo Pärt opened, for the occasion of the composer’s 70th birthday. The composer and his wife also attended the opening of the exhibition. Last year, our musicians continued to enjoy success in Germany as well. Thus, on 1 May in Karlsruhe, Kristjan Randalu was presented with the Jazz Prize of the State of Baden-Württemberg for 2007. On 9 November, one of Estonia’s most renowned composers, Arvo Pärt, was presented with the International Bridge Award in Görlitz. Riigikogu Speaker Ene Ergma also attended the ceremony, and the Laudatio was given by President of the German Bundestag, Norbert Lammert. In 2007, preparations were initiated for a dignifi ed celebration to mark the 90th anniver- sary of the Republic of Estonia. From January to June of this year, an extensive cultural programme entitled ESSENTIA BALTICA 2008, dedicated to the 90th anniversaries of the Republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, will take place in Germany. In addition to Berlin, Estonia will concentrate its events in the State of Baden-Württemberg, and the focus will be on culture, tourism, economics and education. In addition to Stuttgart and other cities in the state, events will also take place in Baden-Württemberg’s missions in Berlin and Brussels. In respect to France, the highlight of 2007 was the opening of the new Estonian Embassy in Paris on 13 February. This meant a return to one’s own building after the occupation and annexation of Estonia by the Soviet Union in 1940. Numerous high-level meetings and visits took place in 2007. Within the framework of the opening of the new Estonian Embassy, a bilateral meeting took place between Foreign Minister Urmas Paet and Catherine Colonna, France’s Minister for European Affairs, where current EU topics and EU-Russia relations were discussed.

  • Who Is Who in Impeding Climate Protection
    Who is Who in Impeding Climate Protection Links between politics and the energy industry The short route to climate collapse The UK meteorological offi ce forecast at the very beginning of the year that 2007 would be the warmest year since weather records began being made. The scientists there estimated that the global average temperature would be 0.54 degrees above the 14 degree average experienced over many years. The record so far, an average of 14.52 degrees, is held by 1998. 2005, which was similarly warm, went into the meteorologists’ record books on reaching an average of 14.65 degrees in the northern hemisphere. Findings made by the German meteorological service also confi rm the atmosphere to be warming. Shortly before the beginning of 2007 the service reported that the year 2006 had been one of the warmest years since weather records began being made in 1901, and the month of July had been the hottest ever since then. An average of 9.5 degrees was 1.3 degrees Celsius above the long-term average of 8.2 degrees. International climate experts are agreed that the global rise in temperature must stay below two degrees Celsius if the effects of climate change are to remain controllable. But the time corridor for the effective reduction of greenhouse gases damaging to the climate is getting narrower and narrower. In the last century already the Earth’s average temperature rose by 0.8 degrees. The experts in the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change anticipate a further rise of up to 6.4 degrees by 2100.

  • The Res Publica Party in Estonia
    Meteoric Trajectory: The Res Publica Party in Estonia REIN TAAGEPERA Formed in 2001, Res Publica won the Estonian parliamentary elections in 2003, and its leader became prime minister. It failed to win a single seat in the European Parliament in 2004 and was down to 5 per cent in opinion polls in 2005 when it dropped out of the cabinet. The founding chairperson of the party analyses here the causes for Res Publica’s rapid rise and fall, reviewing the socio-political background and drawing comparisons with other new parties in Europe. Res Publica was a genuinely new party that involved no previous major players. It might be charac- terized as a ‘purifying bridge party’ that filled an empty niche at centre right. Its rise was among the fastest in Europe. For success of a new party, each of three factors must be present to an appreciable degree: Prospect of success ¼ Members  Money  Visibility. Res Publica had all three, but rapid success spoiled the party leadership. Their governing style became arrogant and they veered to the right, alienating their centrist core constituency. It no longer mattered for the quality of Estonian politics whether Res Publica faded or survived. Key words: new parties; Estonia; Res Publica; rightist politics Democratization includes developing a workable party system. Around 2000, I would have told anyone who cared to listen that Estonia had too many parties. A study by Grofman, Mikkel and Taagepera1 also noted that no major new player had entered the field since 1995. We characterized the party constellation in the early 1990s as kaleidoscopic, but gave figures to show that the party system in Estonia seemed to stabilize.

  • Political Scandals, Newspapers, and the Election Cycle
    Political Scandals, Newspapers, and the Election Cycle Marcel Garz Jil Sörensen Jönköping University Hamburg Media School April 2019 We thank participants at the 2015 Economics of Media Bias Workshop, members of the eponymous research network, and seminar participants at the University of Hamburg for helpful comments and suggestions. We are grateful to Spiegel Publishing for access to its news archive. Daniel Czwalinna, Jana Kitzinger, Henning Meyfahrt, Fabian Mrongowius, Ulrike Otto, and Nadine Weiss provided excellent research assistance. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Hamburg Media School. Corresponding author: Jil Sörensen, Hamburg Media School, Finkenau 35, 22081 Hamburg, Germany. Phone: + 49 40 413468 72, fax: +49 40 413468 10, email: [email protected] Abstract Election outcomes are often influenced by political scandal. While a scandal usually has negative consequences for the ones being accused of a transgression, political opponents and even media outlets may benefit. Anecdotal evidence suggests that certain scandals could be orchestrated, especially if they are reported right before an election. This study examines the timing of news coverage of political scandals relative to the national election cycle in Germany. Using data from electronic newspaper archives, we document a positive and highly significant relationship between coverage of government scandals and the election cycle. On average, one additional month closer to an election increases the amount of scandal coverage by 1.3%, which is equivalent to an 62% difference in coverage between the first and the last month of a four- year cycle. We provide suggestive evidence that this pattern can be explained by political motives of the actors involved in the production of scandal, rather than business motives by the newspapers.
