OSCE Magazine December 2009 INTERVIEW WITH THE INCOMING CHAIRMAN-IN-Office Kazakhstan seeks to “breathe new life” into interaction among participating States Kanat Saudabayev was appointed Kazakhstan’s Secretary of State - Minister for Foreign Affairs on 4 September 2009. Shortly after assuming his new functions, including spearheading the country’s prep- arations for its Chairmanship of the OSCE in 2010, Minister Saudabayev answered wide-ranging ques- tions posed to him by OSCE Spokesperson Martin Nesirky. He described what the Chairmanship meant for Kazakhstan and its citizens and expressed confi- dence that its forthcoming regional and internation- al security initiatives would breathe new life into the interaction among the OSCE participating States. Martin Nesirky: Kazakhstan will be the first Central Asian country and the first State from the former Soviet Union to chair the OSCE. What prompted your country to undertake this challenging mission? Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev: The Chair- manship of the OSCE represents a logical next phase in the development of our young State. The OSCE and many of our partners in the Organization have played an important role in our achievements. During the 18 years of our country’s independence, we have managed to build a strong market-oriented economy, to ensure democratic development and to strength- en inter-ethnic and interreligious harmony.

  • Sweden: Another Awkward Partner?
    2444Ch16 3/12/02 2:06 pm Page 369 16 Karl Magnus Johansson Sweden: another awkward partner? Introduction: reluctant yet faithful Scholars of the European Union must lift the lid off the ‘black box’ of domestic politics to understand the behaviour of Member States in the integration processes. In this chapter, we will move inside the Swedish polity by analysing domestic constraints and institutional characteristics. The overarching aim is to capture the fundamentals of Sweden as an EU member, thereby identifying the primary actors involved in the policy- cycle. Joining late, Sweden has faced strong pressures of adaptation both at the state and societal levels. As the Union has advanced and become an increasingly complex organisation, countries seeking membership and new Member States are faced with a more difficult and steeper learning curve than the founding members. At the same time, latecomers are in a position to learn from the experiences of others. Sweden joined the Union in January 1995. The decision to seek membership can be seen as a logical consequence of the interdependence between the strongly export-reliant Swedish economy and the West European economies.1 Although officially neutral, Sweden has since long been strongly associated with West Europe, both economically and polit- ically.2 Swedish economic forces actually joined the Common Market before membership was formally and politically approved. Just like in Britain and Denmark, membership has been justified primarily by the political elites on economic grounds, which provided the rationale for requesting membership in the first place and provoked unrealistic expec- tations of economic benefits and thereby continued to haunt the elites, broadly in favour of membership.

    1 HIS HOLINESS THE XIV DALAI LAMA OF TIBET 2 Published by The Department of Information and International Relations Central Tibetan Administration, Dharamsala, HP India 2011 1000 copies 3 His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He was born on 6 July 1935 to a farmer’s family in the village of Takster, north-eastern Tibet. At the age of two the child, Lhamo Dhondup, was recognised as the incarnation of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso. In October 1939, the young Dalai Lama accompanied by the search party and his family members arrived in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. The enthronement ceremony took place on 22 October 1940 in the Potala Palace. Dalai Lama is a Mongolian title meaning “Ocean of Wisdom”, and the Dalai Lamas are manifestations of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Chenrezig. Bodhisattvas are enlightened beings who have postponed their own enlightenment and chosen to take rebirth to serve humanity. Education in Tibet His Holiness began his monastic education at the age of six. At 23 he sat for his final examination at the Jokhang Temple, Lhasa, during the annual Monlam Chenmo or the Great Prayer Festival in 1959. He passed with honours and was awarded the Lharampa Degree (the highest-level Geshe or the doctorate of Buddhist philosophy). Leadership Responsibilities In 1950 His Holiness the Dalai Lama was called upon to assume full political power after China began its invasion of Tibet in 1949. In 1954 His Holiness went to Beijing for peace talks with Mao Zedong and other Chinese leaders, including Deng Xiaoping and Zhou Enlai.

The Baltic Sea Region is 1000 years old. As early as four thousand years ago there was a distinct, well-defined Baltic culture – the so called “boat-axe-culture”. Over the centuries, the Baltic has been the Sea of Communication for the inhabitants in the regions close to it – Viking ships, Hansa koggs, tall sailing ships and steamers have all plied the Sea around Visby and Gotland. The Baltic has helped people on its southern, northern, western and eastern shores to meet each other, and to trade with each other. We are all neighbours around this Sea … We have been, we still are, and we continue to be – neighbours. - Welcome Address by the Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson at the 1st Baltic Sea States Summit in Visby, May 3rd, 1996 3 4 5 7 8 9 Commissioned and edited by Anthony Jay, Egle Obcarskaite, Jacek Smolicki Layout and design: Jacek Smolicki © CBSS Secretariat 10 11 12 Index Presidium 17 Foundation 25 Strategies for Sustainable and Innovative Future 51 Multi-level Governance and Regional Cohesion 57 Resilience and Inclusion in times of austerity 67 The Machine Room 79 13 14 The Council of the Baltic Sea States was It is fitting that currently Germany founded in a completely different politi- holds the Presidency of the CBSS for cal, cultural and technological landscape.

Ledarskap kan ge föreställningen av inflytelserika, driftiga personer som påverkar både organisationen och dess medarbetare. För att dels fördjupa oss inom ledarskapsområdet och dels finna vad som kan ligga bakom en ledares unika förmåga att nå ut till sin omgivning valde vi att studera Jan Stenbeck. Många har en åsikt om honom och han beskrivs som en karismatisk, mäktig person med en stark vision. Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att genom de tre valda perspektiven karisma, vision och makt studera Jan Stenbeck som ledare samt därmed diskutera vad som gjorde honom inflytelserik. Genomförande: Uppsatsen bygger på tillgänglig teoribildning om ledarskap, karisma, vision och makt. Dessutom har empiriska studier genomförts med hjälp av litteratur- och artikelstudier om Jan Stenbeck. Resultat: Vi har kommit fram till att Jan Stenbecks ledarskap i grunden lär ha utgått från hans makt. Vi finner även att karismatiskt och visionärt ledarskap utgjorde viktiga delar i hans ledarskap. Dessa lär, enligt vår mening, ha varit underordnade maktens betydelse för hans förmåga att påverka. Vidare har vi funnit att Jan Stenbeck utövade åtminstone fyra olika ledarstilar och därmed kan han anses ha varit en effektiv ledare.

  • Sweden Manual
    Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual Information and contacts on the Swedish debate on EU enlargement in the Western Balkans Supported by the Strategic Programme Fund of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office 2 Communicating Europe: Sweden Manual ABOUT THIS MANUAL Who shapes the debate on the future of EU enlargement in Sweden today as the country takes over the EU Presidency in July 2009? This manual aims to provide an overview by introducing the key people and key institutions. It starts with a summary of core facts about Sweden. It looks at the packed timetable of the Swedish EU Presidency and the many issues on its agenda – including EU enlargement and visa liberalisation for the Western Balkan states. As background to one of the most intensive EU presidencies in recent years the manual describes the Swedish scene; the most important interest groups, the key government institutions, the current government, parliament and the main political parties and the key think-tanks. It looks at the country‟s mix of economic liberalism and welfare policies. It offers an overview of the policy debates on the EU, on future enlargement and the Western Balkans. Space is also given to the media landscape; TV, radio and print media and the internet-based media. As the British academic Timothy Garton Ash has recently written: “Talking here to a leading figure in the upcoming Swedish presidency of the EU, one understands what a hectic circus it will be in the last few months of 2009.” Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt has commented on the government‟s intensive presidency planning: “Sometimes things turn out like the John Lennon song: „Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans‟.” The prime minister added: “Planning is important, but things seldom turn out the way you intended.” Any debate in a vibrant democracy is characterised by a range of views.
