These include: training, leadership, teamwork, command and control, inter alia. Consequently, the NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Human Factors and Medicine (HFM) Panel approved establishment of Lecture Series (LS) 232 titled “Improving the Organisational Effectiveness of Coalition Headquarters.” The main goal of this lecture series was to disseminate the research results of NATO STO HFM Task Group (TG) 163 which examined the factors infl uencing the effectiveness of coalition operations among academic and operational communities in NATO and partner nations. The research fi ndings of STO HFM TG-163 addressed a variety of issues related to organisational and cultural factors that are critical to effective cooperation in coalition operations with a particular focus on organisational effectiveness of NATO operational level headquarters (HQs). Three sessions of NATO STO HFM LS were carried out: one at the Rakovski National Defence Academy, Sofi a, Bulgaria; one at the Royal Military Academy, Brussels, Belgium; and one at the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, U.S. The sessions were organised by the International Program Committee with members from Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, and the United States. This publication is an outcome of the three lecture series sessions and contains the papers presented during these sessions. The specifi c objectives of the NATO STO HFM LS-232 were: (1) to present and discuss fi ndings on critical factors (barriers and enablers) that impact effective cooperation in coalition operations; (2) to present and discuss models and tools for measuring different aspects of organisational effectiveness of operational headquarters in a multinational context; (3) to demonstrate multimedia training tools such as GlobeSmart® Commander and the Cross Cultural Competence Trainer in order to improve cultural awareness of military leaders participating in coalition operations; (4) to get feedback regarding the demands of the operational community in NATO and partner countries for additional research in the fi eld of organisational effectiveness for the improvement of coalition operations. The NATO STO HFM LS-232 covered the following basic topics: (1) viewpoints from Subject Matter Experts on how to improve organisational 5 effectiveness in coalition headquarters; (2) strategies for how to improve processes within operational NATO HQs with focus on (a) effective and timely sharing of information, (b) effective and timely decision making, and (c) shared awareness of tasks and responsibilities; (3) the alignment of structure and processes with the operational goals of a NATO HQ; (4) the role of people in organisations to include dimensions such as leadership, training, and rotation practices; (5) the role of organisational and national culture and how to improve cultural orientation, openness to diversity, and trust in coalition settings; (6) the adaptability of leaders and teams to working within multinational coalitions; and (7) how to reduce the challenges of a working within a multinational context with implications for practitioners. In addition, there was a technology demonstration of the GlobeSmart® Commander Multimedia Training Tool and the Cross-Cultural Competence Trainer in the program. Finally, several additional papers were presented during the sessions in Sofi a, Bulgaria and DEOMI Patrick AFB, FL, U.S. in order to broaden the understanding of the challenges of the multinational context. These papers cover such important topics related to operational effectiveness as: (1) logistic support in multinational environment; (2) stress and psychological support in modern military operations; (3) inter- organisational collaboration in crisis management; (3) U.S. strategic defence priorities and the implications for multinational operations; (4) cultural property protection education and training for multinational operations. Our project explicitly concentrates on the internal processes in a coalition headquarter, while the factors external to the organisation and related to the context of the operation were not examined in this study. For that reason, I consider this additional input as important enrichment of the original study results. I believe that the research results that were presented and discussed during the Lecture Series will be benefi cial for military leaders and nations, helping them to identify training gaps. These gaps can then be addressed in the Professional Military Education and future pre-deployment training, and used to improve the ways that we work in multicultural environments. This is a direct contribution to one of the basic NATO Long-Term Capability Requirements, namely Human Performance Improvement in Military Operations. In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to express the gratitude of the International Program Committee to Commodore (BGR-N) Dimiter ANGELOV, Commandant of the G. S. Rakovski National Defence Academy, Major-General Harry VINDEVOGEL, Commandant of Royal Military Academy and Dr. William T. YATES II, Acting Commandant of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) for supporting 6 this signifi cant NATO STO activity that has enabled us to meet our goals by providing an excellent environment for creative work as well as increasing the level of exchange of new experiences and new ideas among researchers and operational communities.

Yantsislav Yanakiev 82 Evlogi & Hristo Georgievi, Blvd., 1504, Sofi a, Bulgaria G. S. Rakovski National Defence Academy Defence Advanced Research Institute [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper summarises results out of two focus group discussions with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). The SMEs responded to a set of pre-defi ned questions about their experiences related to: (1) impediments and enablers of organisational effectiveness in multinational environment; (2) proxy measures of mission success; (3) characteristics of an effective multinational HQ, and (4) suggestions for improving organisational effectiveness. The experts identifi ed four groups of barriers for successful cooperation in multinational operations: (1) Political- military decision making regarding participation in NATO coalition operations; (2) Internal process management in the organisation with emphasis on NATO HQ; (3) People in the defence organisation, and (4) The infl uence of the cultural differences on organisational effectiveness. The primary enablers of organisational effectiveness according to the SMEs are: (1) Introduction of processes improvement strategies in the coalition HQs; (2) Improvement of strategic decision-making processes; (3) The organisational structure improvement, and (4) Organisational culture. 1.0 BACKGROUND The paper utilises results out of two focus group discussions with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from the NATO School in Oberammergau, Germany, and the NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) in Norfolk, Virginia, USA, carried out in the framework of NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Task Group “Improving Organisational

The 25th anniversary of the EU Single Market and Bulgaria’s 10 years of EU membership provided the chance to draw up a balance sheet. GDP has increased by nearly 70% in nominal terms during that period and, according to Euro barometer, Bulgarians are happier now than before. Some 70% of Bulgarian exports are destined for the EU; a similar percentage goes to the countries at the “fastest” EU speed – Germany, France, Italy and the Benelux.

  • The North American Forest Sector Outlook Study 2006-2030
    Projections for the United States and Canada to 2030 have been made with a global model to account for concurrent changes in other countries. Three The North American Forest future scenarios were investigated: two IPCC-based scenarios assuming the rapid growth of wood-based energy, and one IPCC-based scenario without this assumption. The model, under the IPCC scenarios, accounted for trends Sector Outlook Study in population, income and land use along with emerging technology and predicted changes to consumption patterns for wood products and bioenergy. Markets for wood products, which mainly are destined for the construction 2006-2030 sector in North America, are projected to recover by 2015 under all three scenarios examined. Projections suggest that, in spite of declining use of paper for media, other paper and paperboard for packaging and miscellaneous uses will continue to enjoy strong global demand.

  • Summaries of Published Works
    ACCIDENTS AND DISASTERS. Chronicle of Communist Industrialization. Summary The monograph deals with a completely unexplored topic in Bulgarian historiography – the problem of industrial accidents and disasters during the communist rule in the country. The study is based on a rich and varied archival material, mainly documents from the funds of the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party, the Central Council of the Bulgarian Trade Unions, the Committee for Disclosing the Documents and Announcing Affiliation of Bulgarian Citizens to the State Security and Intelligence Services of the Bulgarian National Army. A significant number of interviews and recollections of people who survived or witnessed severe industrial disasters are also used. Researching the topic allows the author to present the general picture of working conditions in Bulgaria during the entire period of communist rule, organization of production, economic and social policy of the state. At the same time, he considers and analyzes various examples of accidents in more detail, as well as some catastrophes that have become emblematic for this period. Based on the specific cases, he makes conclusions about the state of the industry, about the social and labor relations, about the mechanisms through which decisions were made and the planned measures were implemented. In addition, all these events are placed in the broad context of the economic and political situation in the country in each period of its development. The text follows the historical-chronological approach, which also determines the structure of the book. It gives the opportunity to see in full the problem, as well as the social causes and phenomena that gave rise to it.

  • Theoretical Debates in Bulgaria During the Great Depression Confronting Sombart, Marx and Keynes
    Theoretical Debates in Bulgaria during the Great Depression Confronting Sombart, Marx and Keynes Nikolay Nenovsky* The main purpose of this article is to understand how Bulgarian economists interpreted the Great Depression, by reviewing the theoretical models they used and the solutions they advocated. In particular, this means: (i) clarifying what made them gradually realise the structural characteristics of the crisis and (ii) identifying the main channels and the main theories underlying the analysis of crises and depressions. The paper comprises six sections. The first section offers a brief survey of the Bulgarian economy and political developments prior to the Depression. Section two presents Bulgarian economic thought on the eve of the Depression according to five intellectual currents. Section three identifies and discusses the two main models of interpretation of the Great Depression—a cyclical and a structural model. The next two sections explain the evolution of economic thinking following the main phases of the crisis (deflation/agrarian crisis and monetary/banking crisis). Section six focuses on Marxist interpretations of the crisis. The last section offers a few concluding observations. Keywords : Great Depression, Balkan economies, Bulgaria, Marxism, agrarianism, crises, Keynes Débats théoriques en Bulgarie durant la Grande Dépression.
