  • Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Potential Analysis of Regional Development
    CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 3 POTENTIAL ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT 3.1 National and Regional Policy on Socioeconomic Development 3.1.1 Review of Development Policy Latvia aims at ensuring equal working, income, social, and cultural opportunities for all inhabitants of the state, as mentioned in the following legislation, development strategies and policies. However, the former course of development after independence in 1991 has resulted in differences in living environment and opportunities of economic activity in different regions of Latvia. In many areas including LWC, insufficient economic development and activity, high unemployment rate, low income, unequal conditions for social and cultural life have been found. (1) Law on Spatial Development Planning of Latvia The Law on Spatial Development Planning of Latvia was adopted in October 1998. According to this new law, development and land use planning in Latvia is to be carried out, as such: - Local governments of districts, state cities, towns, and townships should prepare spatial development plans of their administrative areas, - Spatial development plans of higher level should be observed when producing spatial development plans of lower levels, and - Land use plans of regional and local municipal levels should be prepared in accordance with the relevant spatial development plans. Development and land use plans for LWC, therefore, has to observe and coordinate with the directions and strategies mentioned in the existing national, regional, district, and township level plans. (2) National development strategies The long-term goal of development strategy for Latvia is to become a socially harmonized country with a dynamic, open and equal opportunity as well as its own national identity.

  • Language Use in Latvian Radio and Television

The author takes full responsibility for accuracy of the data. The study is available in Latvian and English on the Internet: www.politika.lv or www.policy.lv Project consultant: Prof. Stephen Heyneman, University of Vanderbilt, USA ¢ Text, Signe Martißüne, Centre for Public Policy PROVIDUS, 2004 ¢ Translation, Lolita K¬aviña, 2004 ¢ Design, Nordik Publishing House, 2004 ISBN 9984–751–46–5 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY When Latvia regained independence, one of its major tasks was to strengthen the posi- tion of Latvian as its state language. Restrictions were placed on the use of languages other than Latvian in commercial and public broadcasting. The Law on Radio and Television limited the amount of time that commercial radio and television broadcasters could allocate to broadcasts in other languages to 25%.1 Hence, news and entertainment for those who speak Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Lithuanian, Roma and English were limited to a maximum of 25% of the total airtime. Stations that wished to broadcast in those languages were required to reserve 75% of their airtime for programs in Latvian. On June 5, 2003, the Constitutional Court invalidated the provision of the law that restricted use of foreign languages in the programs of commercial broadcasters.2 It ruled that the language restrictions applied to commercial broadcasting organizations did not conform with Article 100 of the Constitution pertaining to freedom of expression, and that in a democratic society such restrictions were neither necessary nor appropriate.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Over a very short period conditions for the Russian population in Latvia have changed dramatically. From being representatives of the majority nationality enjoying a special status in the Soviet multinational empire, Russians have become a national minority in a Latvian nation-state. The thesis focuses on the implications of these changes for the ethnic identity of Russians living in Latvia; the changes are analysed through the perspective of ethnopolitical developments in the country. An examination of relevant western and Latvian scholarly literature on ethnicity and nationality issues provides the theoretical framework within which to discuss the Russian question in Latvia. Conceptual issues are clarified and various explanations for the phenomenon of ethnicity are considered. The relationship between ethnicity and the political sphere is also examined.
