Countries whose accession to the EU was politically feasible had the membership perspective as an incentive, whereas others were rewarded for the desired reforms with preferential trade regimes and progress towards a free trade zone, financial support and facilitated or liberalized visa regimes (see e.g.

Many of them are historical and are in poor condition due to long-term negligence. However, we have been witness to a change in this situation over the last few years.

  • Back in East Prussia After 50 Years1 by Werner Gitt Fifty Years After First
    Back in East Prussia after 50 Years1 By Werner Gitt Fifty years after first fleeing and then finally being expelled from East Prussia2, we went back there for the first time. We visited the north part of East Prussia, in which Raineck where I was born also lies. The north part of what used to be East Prussia is now Rus- sian while south East Prussia is part of Poland. We spent 10 days in the north part, holding lectures. Before the trip we had anxiously wondered how we would be received in an area which had been a military no-go area for so long, where Westerners had been refused access. After the fall of the Soviet Union, even this door had swung open. In the ten days we were there, we experienced both the wonderful as well as the nega- tive. The results of fifty years of communism were devastating. The towns and villages of a once beautiful country have been completely destroyed. The people were not in much better condition; they lived their lives without hope and orientation. Karl Marx once said, “Practice is the criteria for truth.” At least he got that right. If anyone wants to ex- amine the practical effects of communism, there are plenty of examples to be found here. How would the people who live here now react to the gospel? Our first stop was in Palmnicken. 1. Palmnicken: Palmnicken used to be a beautiful spa town on the Samland coast of the Baltic Sea which is famous throughout the world for its amber.

  • THE ROLE of RAILWAYS in WARTIME Augustus J
    RAILS TO THE FRONT “The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car [...] You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors.” – William Tecumseh Sherman, 1860 For centuries, innovation in technology has continued to transform the world of war- fare. In the mid-nineteenth century, the burgeoning railway industry began to make an increasingly significant contribution. The military used railways because of their capacity to transport quickly and, less commonly, as a means for military action in their own right, such as armoured trains. The steam locomotive proved far superior to animal-drawn equipment in transporting troops and their military supplies, especially heavy weaponry. In Rails to the Front, historians Augustus J. Veenendaal and H. Roger Grant examine the crit- ical impact of railways in a series of conflicts worldwide, from the failed German revolutions VEENENDAAL & GRANT in the 1840s and Crimean War, right through to World Wars I and II and the Gulf War in the 1990s. This lavishly illustrated and readable study is the first of its kind in English.

  • Problems Related to Development of the Kaliningrad Region As an Exclave Territory of the Russian Federation
    Problems Related to Development of the Kaliningrad Region As an Exclave Territory of the Russian Federation Moscow 2002 Attitudes towards the geopolitical situation of the Kaliningrad Region of the Russian Federation have dramatically changed of late, both in Russia and abroad. While retaining its traditional significance in Russia’s defense doctrine, that region has come to be seen as a golden opportunity for establishment of closer mutually advantageous cooperation between Russia and the European Un- ion. There is a growing understanding of the fact that thanks to its geographic situation that region can be used as one of the Russian territories to undergo pri- ority integration into Europe’s Common Economic Area. In the present study, the possible scenarios of development of that region are examined from the point of view of such integration with advantages and disadvantages of each of those sce- narios discussed, as well as such problems as may arise in their implementation. Authors: V. Zhdanov, O. Kuznetsova, V. Mau, V. Plyukhin, S. Prikhodko, M. J. Wojciechowski and A. Hecht The present study and publication have been carried out within the framework of the CEPRA Project (a Russian-Canadian applied economic studies project) financed by the Canadian Inter- national Development Agency (CIDA).

  • Kaliningrad Enclaves and Economic Integration
    Kaliningrad Enclaves and Economic Integration Evgeny Vinokurov Special Report March 2007 In writing this report, the author is most indebted to Ivan Sergeevich Korolev and Ivan Samson, who were mentors through several years of studying the Kaliningrad economy. The author is grateful to all those, both in Russia and the EU, who commented on the manuscript or on separate chapters at various stages of its progress, namely Michael Emerson, Timur Gareev, Alexey Ignatyev, David Kernohan, Vladimir Kuzin and Artur Usanov. The views expressed are attributable only to the author in a personal capacity and do not necessarily reflect those of CEPS or any other institution with which the author is associated. ISBN-13: 978-92-9079-698-5 Available for free downloading from the CEPS website (http://www.ceps.be) © Copyright 2007, Evgeny Vinokurov Kaliningrad Enclaves and Economic Integration * Evgeny Vinokurov Abstract When the Soviet Union broke up, Kaliningrad suddenly found itself separated from mainland Russia by new frontiers. Hardly any other Russian region has been hit as hard by the economic disruption as Kaliningrad. The geographical situation of the region meant that it was more highly exposed to the destabilising effects of post-communist economic transformation. Since then, a dramatic trade opening has occurred, and regional trade and production have undergone profound changes. Kaliningrad has experienced a major shift in its economic orientation towards the tertiary sector and a new industrial orientation based on its position as an intermediary in EU–Russian trade. In short, that is what this report is about: the present and future economic development of this Russian enclave during its integration into the world economy, its place in the international division of labour and in the Russian–EU economic interface.
