    y gathering 39 local scholars, experts, and civil society activists specialized in racism and human rights, the fourth edition of the European Islamophobia Report addresses a still timely and politically important issue. All 34 country Breports included in this book follow a unique structure that is convenient, first, for com- EUROPEAN paring country reports and, second, for selected readings on a particular topic such as politics, employment, or education with regards to Islamophobia across Europe. ISLAMOPHOBIA The present report investigates in detail the underlying dynamics that directly or indirectly support the rise of anti-Muslim racism in Europe. This extends from Islamophobic state- ments spread in national media to laws and policies that restrain the fundamental rights REPORT of European Muslim citizens. As a result, the European Islamophobia Report 2018 dis- cusses the impact of anti-Muslim discourse on human rights, multiculturalism, and the 2018 state of law in Europe. This fourth edition of our report highlights how European societies are challenged by the ENES BAYRAKLI • FARID HAFEZ (Eds) rise of violent far-right groups that do not only preach hatred of Muslims but also partici- pate in the organization of bloody terror attacks. The rise of far-right terrorist groups such as AFO (Action of Operational Forces) in France or the network Hannibal in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland confirms EUROPOL’s alarming surveys on the growing danger of right-wing terrorism. This year, SETA worked in cooperation with the Leopold Weiss Institute, an Austrian NGO based in Vienna dedicated to the research of Muslims in Europe. In addition, the Euro- pean Union has funded the European Islamophobia Report 2018 through the program EUROPEAN ISLAMOPHOBIA REPORT 2018 “Civil Society Dialogue Between EU and Turkey (CSD-V)”.

Mention of such a symbol indicates a reference to a United Nations document. The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. ECE/CEP/133 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. 07.II.E.6 ISBN 978-92-1-116958-4 ISSN 1020-4563 iii Foreword Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs) for countries in transition were initiated by Environment Ministers at the second “Environment for Europe” Conference in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1993. As a result, the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy decided to make the EPRs a part of its regular programme. Ten years later, at the fifth Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe” (Kiev, 2003), the Ministers confirmed that the UNECE programme of EPRs had made it possible to assess the effectiveness of the efforts of countries with economies in transition to manage their environment. The Programme has addressed tailor-made recommendations to the Governments concerned on improving environmental management to reduce their pollution load, to better integrate environmental policies into sectoral policies and to strengthen cooperation with the international community. The Ministers also reaffirmed their support for the EPR programme as an important instrument for countries with economies in transition, and they decided that the programme should proceed with a second cycle of reviews.

  • Ukraine Nuclear Fuel Cycle Chronology
    Ukraine Nuclear Fuel Cycle Chronology Last update: April 2005 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation. 2003-1993 1 August 2003 KRASNOYARSK ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT ALLOW IMPORT OF UKRAINE'S SPENT FUEL UNTIL DEBT PAID On 1 August 2003, UNIAN reported that, according to Yuriy Lebedev, head of Russia's International Fuel and Energy Company, which is managing the import of spent nuclear fuel to Krasnoyarsk Kray for storage, the Krasnoyarsk administration will not allow new shipments of spent fuel from Ukraine for storage until Ukraine pays its $11.76 million debt for 2002 deliveries. —"Krasnoyarskiy kray otkazhetsya prinimat otrabotannoye yadernoye toplivo iz Ukrainy v sluchaye nepogasheniya 11.76 mln. dollarov dolga," UNIAN, 1 August 2003; in Integrum Techno, www.integrum.com. 28 February 2002 RUSSIAN REACTOR FUEL DELIVERIES TO COST $246 MILLION IN 2002 Yadernyye materialy reported on 28 February 2002 that Russian Minister of Atomic Energy Aleksandr Rumyantsev and Ukrainian Minister of Fuel and Energy Vitaliy Gayduk signed an agreement under which Ukraine will buy reactor fuel worth $246 million from Russia in 2002.

  • Symbiosis of Civilizations As an Important Factor in the Formation and Development of Scientific Thinking in Uzbekistan
    SYMBIOSIS OF CIVILIZATIONS AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC THINKING IN UZBEKISTAN Sharipov Shavkat Safarovich - Rector of Jizzakh State Pedagogical Institute, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Ismatullaev Farhodjon Odiljonovich - Tashkent State Pedagogical University 07.00.01 – Candidate for the Doctorate of History of Uzbekistan, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Abstract: The current article discusses the impact of different civilizations on the development of scientific knowledge in the region of Uzbekistan and the high civilizations formed in the ancient regions of Central Asia. In particular, it analyzes the advanced science and cultures and harmonious combination of different civilizations that have gradually formed over the centuries as a result of various political, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation in Uzbekistan. Keywords: Culture, symbiosis, civilization, Renaissance, Greco-Roman culture, urban planning, analytics, encyclopedia, philosophy, Islamic culture. INTRODUCTION. The consistent development of universal scientific thought is inextricably linked with the emergence and interdependence of historically different civilizations, which can be seen as a symbiosis of interactions 1 between them. In this regard, we see that the formation of the Great Silk Road and other external factors have played an important role in the development of scientific thinking in Uzbekistan. Scientific thinking is a historically stable system of generally accepted methodological standards and philosophical principles that emerges as a specific type of scientific interpretation of reality. Considering the formation of scientific thinking through the prism of the concept of “symbiosis of civilization” allows us to classify the similarities and differences of historically formed forms of thinking, as well as to analyze and predict the direction of its development.

  • Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia
    Starbucks’ Entry into Eastern Europe Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia Monika Siulyte Cynthia Purekal April 23, 2008 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Starbucks Corporation is known throughout the world for its exceptional coffee products, and is generally considered to have revolutionized the coffee business. With origins in Seattle, Washington, it eventually became the most widely patronized coffee chain throughout the country. And it has expanded its business across national borders. It currently operates on five continents, in nearly thirty countries. Starbucks has so far limited its European expansion to Western European countries. Its stores can currently be found in Turkey, Spain, Greece, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. While these have most likely been safe countries for Starbucks to operate in, they have failed to tap into another area of Europe that has great potential for the coffee market, namely, Eastern Europe. Although it has recently opened locations in the Czech Republic, Starbucks has thus far avoided the Baltic States, perhaps preferring to remain in more “western” nations. However, in so doing, Starbucks has neglected a region that is rapidly becoming increasingly westernized. It would be in Starbucks best interest to explore the markets of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia were all forcibly annexed by the USSR in 1940. All three endured Soviet rule for over 60 years. Once they achieved independence in 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union, they all seemed eager to form alliances with western countries. For example, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia are all now members of both NATO and the European Union. It is not surprising, therefore, that the coffee chain trend would become popular in these countries.
