OPENING- ADDRESS BY THE CHAIRMAN 1. THE CHAIRMAN began by paying a tribute to the work done by the Council Deputies; and in particular their Chairman, Mr. Spofford; it was they who had given the Organisation a kind bf permanent•character, a nd their day to day action was of the greatest value to NATO, Yet the Council Deputies could not fulfil the functions proper to the Atlantic Council at the fninisterial level; and therefore Governments must meet periodically to give directives and to take decisions on political problems which the Deputies or technical' experts could not be expected to solve. For that reason, among others, he hoped that • Council Meetings on the ministerial level would be held in future- more frequently and at more regular intervals:. 3 or 4 times a year, for example. At the same time, it would be desirable to strengthen the powers of the Council Deputies and to widen the frame "work within v/hieh they hod powers of'decision. Thct would help to save time, and to save time was vital, ; 2, The importance of the time factor led him to advocate empirical solutions to certain problems which had perhaps been tackled in-the past months too often from the purely theoretical point of view. The sharing of infrastructure costs was a case in point, A solution of an empirical kind in cases like these could ,sometimes be reached which, while satisfying no one completely, would at least" make further progress possible»- 5, That was the . spirit which he would' like to see applied to certain aspects, of their work, and. he was thinking in particular of the expansion of arms production in Europe, where orders had to be given In some cases as much as 2 years before the date of .delivery here the importance of the time factor could hardly be overestimated, 4, The tasks with which NATO was faced were of exceptional magnitude, but they could be overcome: the whole world was looking towards NATO with hope, and NATO need not doubt the final success pf its efforts. The great achievement of just over a week ago - the signature by 48 sovereign nations of a Peace Treaty with Japan - éhowed^what could be done when a policy inspired by the "NATO principles of respect for right, for justice and for reconciliation was pursued clearly and firmly, 5. Finally, he was sure that none of them doubted that the present session, .like'earlier sessions, would mark an important stage along the path which would in the end enable DECLASSIFIED - PUBLIC DISCLOSURE / DÉCLASSIFIÉ - MISE EN LECTURE PUBLIQUE LECTURE EN - MISE / DÉCLASSIFIÉ DISCLOSURE - PUBLIC DECLASSIFIED the whole world to feel free from aggression. • II. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA 6± MR., ACHESON (UNITED STATES)- said that his Government; •attached great importance to item' VI on the- Agenda (Future Pevelopment of NATO, other than in connection with defence plans). The item appeared rather late In the Agenda, and his Government feared that if it could only be discussed towards the end of a busy session, there might be a danger of hasty conclusions being reached which might afterwards be regretted. He therefore proposed that after the discussion on item III there should be a brief discussion on item VI, at which point he would suggest that a Committee bo set up to prepare recommendations for examination when item VI was discussed at greater length later in the session. 7. THE COUNCIL; Approved the Agenda, subject_to the modification suggested by Mri Acheson. III. EXCHANGE OF VIEWS ON THE WORLD SITUATION 8. MR. PEARSON (CANADA) agreed with the Chairman in his opening statement that it would be desirable, and hoped that it. would be feasible, to hold Council Meeting's more regularly and perhaps more frequently than hitherto; a minimum of 3 regular meetings annually, for example. This would have the following advantages: (a) It would make it easier to plan efficiently the- work of the Council. (b) It would avoid in the public mind the impression that the Council met only to deal with emergencies instead of being what they hoped, it was becoming, a permanent and regular institution for the ord.erIy development and defence of the Atlantic community. (c) Regular meetings would give rise to less expectation of dramatic decisions emerging'from each session, and the Council would tend to be accepted. • as the normal agency for cooperation and discussion between its members. He did not imagine that it would be possible or necessary for all the Ministers responsible for foreign affairs, defence and finance to meet three times a year. Representation Governments would depend on the nature o.f the business to be discussed and the special circumstances prevailing in each country. 9. Turning to the international situation, in the Canadian view there had been little, If any, general Improvement, and no easing of world tension since the last Council Meeting. Vfcile it was true that morale in the .North Atlantic countries was higher, in the Far East the aggressive forces of Communist imperialism remained as militant and defiant as ever, while in Vlfestern .Europe itself economic and social difficulties remained DECLASSIFIED - PUBLIC DISCLOSURE / DÉCLASSIFIÉ - MISE EN LECTURE PUBLIQUE LECTURE EN - MISE / DÉCLASSIFIÉ DISCLOSURE - PUBLIC DECLASSIFIED ja constant threat to stability, and one which the forces of Soviet Imperialism were exploiting, and would continue to exploit to. the limit. Further,- if the strictly military picture had Improved somewhat, that, he thought, was due to the realisation by any country tempted to break the peace that the North Atlantic countries stood together in resistance to any such aggression, and that the ground on which they stood was getting firmer. " The moral to be drawn from this was that they should not slacken their efforts, but should, go forward steadily and with determination to complete the job of making themselves stronger. 10. There were, however, two types of aggression to be feared: military aggression expressing itself in armed action, and social and. economic aggression expressing itself through the subversive activities of international Communism acting as the spearhead of Soviet imperialism. The military weakness of the E • • 3 NATO countries by comparison with the strength of the -Soviet armed forces was a standing temptation to Soviet attack, and they must keep working to remove that temptation.

  • Corpus Et Lexiques Socio-Politiques
    Textométrie Analyse statistique du lexique politique Jean-Claude Deroubaix GRAID-ULB SYLED Paris 3 Méthode quantitative et méthode qualitative Faut-il vraiment distinguer ? Les méthodes « quantitatives » d’analyse lexicale impliquent comme pour toutes méthode statistique un indispensable « retour aux données ». Cela signifie : 1 que la « production » des données initiales doit être de qualité, contrôlée et critiquée ; 2 qu’on doit retrouver dans les données d’origine les conclusions de l’analyse, d’une manière ou d’une autre. S’il est impossible ou difficile d’interpréter un résultat quantifié, il faut s’interroger et sur les données et sur la méthode. En réalité, les méthodes quantitatives dans la recherche en sciences humaines doivent avoir pour but de permettre une « autre lecture » des données que la lecture naïve. Des méthodes qualitatives ont d’ailleurs le même objectif. Méthode quantitative et méthode qualitative dans l’analyse de discours Histoire Dans l’analyse lexicométriqueil y a une grande intégration des approches statistiques et de remaniement lexical. Ce qui permet de vérifier pas à pas la qualité du travail statistique et de mettre l’accent sur son aspect heuristique. La méthode est celle qui a été développé au Laboratoire de lexicologie de l’école normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud à partir de 1970 sous la direction de Maurice Tournier. De nombreux travaux ont été réalisés dans ce laboratoire sur les discours politiques et syndicaux dont une œuvre inaugurale, encore tâtonnante sur le choix des méthodes, « Des tracts en Mai 68 ». Les méthodes (statistiques et informatiques) ont été mises au point essentiellement par Pierre Lafon et André Salem.

  • Trudności Istnienia Stabilnego Rządu W Państwie Flamandów I Walonów
    Rafał Klepka Rządy mniejszościowe w Belgii: trudności istnienia stabilnego rządu w państwie Flamandów i Walonów Stabilność i efektywność rządu przez większość badaczy uważana jest za istotną war- tość demokratycznych systemów politycznych1. Model organizacji władzy w państwie, w którym wybrana w wyniku wyborów powszechnych izba parlamentarna zdolna jest wykre- ować większość popierającą rząd, jawi się jako optymalny sposób, a jednocześnie funda- mentalne założenie dla bez mała wszystkich demokracji zachodnioeuropejskich2. Mimo ta- kiego stanu rzeczy, zarysowany wzorzec rodzić może w praktyce problemy, które manife- stują się głównie w trudnościach z wyłonieniem trwałej większości, skomplikowanych i trudnych przetargach i negocjacjach koalicyjnych, a także w funkcjonowaniu rządów mniej- szościowych, a więc takich, które nie mogą cieszyć się poparciem ponad połowy składu izby3. Kaare Strøm formowanie rządów mniejszościowych wiąże z takimi zjawiskami jak kryzys polityczny i trudność w stworzeniu stabilnej większości, specyficzna kultura poli- tyczna lub pozostałości po niej, rozdrobnienie systemu partyjnego, silne podziały socjopoli- tyczne i polaryzacja społeczna4. Norweski badacz wskazuje jednocześnie, iż konieczność budowy takich rządów jest większa w sytuacji, gdy kilka lub wszystkie z wymienionych warunków występują równocześnie. Podkreśla się jednocześnie, że choć niejednokrotnie ga- binety mniejszościowe funkcjonują przez dłuższy okres, ich istnienie traktować należy jako stan patologiczny lub przynajmniej niesprzyjający optymalnemu działaniu systemu politycz- nego5. Problemy z istnieniem stabilnego rządu w Królestwie Belgii stały się szczególnie wyraźne w ostatnich latach, głównie za sprawą spektakularnego rekordu świata, jaki pobity 1 Por. G.B.

  • Overzicht Van Het Belgische Politiek Gebeuren in 1992
    Overzicht van het Belgische politiek gebeuren in 1992 door Mark DEWEERDT Licentiaat in de Politieke Wetenschappen, eindredacteur va n De Standaard en Rolf FAL TER Licentiaa t in de Geschiedenis, politiek redacteur va n De Standaa rd Nadat Guy Verhofstadt en Melchior Wathelet er niet in slaagden na de ver­ vroegde parlementsverkiezingen van 24 november 1991 een uitweg te vinden uit de politieke crisis, deed koning Boudewijn een beroep op Jean-Luc Dehaene om een regering te vormen. Het kabinet-Dehaene, dat op 7 maart aantrad en de steun had van christen-democraten en socialisten, had drie grote doelstel­ lingen : de afwerking van de federale staatsstructuur, de sanering van de open­ bare financiën en het sluiten van een contract met de burger. De staatsher­ vorming werd vanaf april behandeld op de zogenaamde gemeenschapsdialoog, die in juli zonder een volledig akkoord werd afgebroken. Het gesprek werd in september hervat en, tegen de verwachtingen in, werden de vier regeringspar­ tijen het eind september eens over het zogenaamde Sint-Michielsakkoord, waar­ van de uitvoering nog heel wat voeten in de aarde zou hebben. Een maand na haar aantreden nam de regering een pakket - vooral inkomstenverhogende - begrotingsmaatregelen ter waarde van 135 miljard frank. De ontwerp-begro­ ting voor 1993, die in augustus werd opgesteld, botste op kritiek van de CVP, in die mate dat de regering gedwongen werd in september bijkomende maatre­ gelen te nemen. Toch volstonden ook die maatregelen niet voor een structurele sanering van het financieringstekort. De regering maakte een begin met de uit­ voering van het contract met de burger, keurde een drastische legerhervorming goed en stuurde Belgische soldaten naar exJoegoslavië en Somalië.
