Annual Report 2009 CROSSLINK_CONNECT_COMPREHEND Annual Report 2009 EURASIA-PACIFIC UNINET is a network which aims at estab lishing contacts and scientific partnerships between Austrian universities, universities of applied sciences, other research in- stitutions and member institutions in East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and the Pacific region. With its member institutions, the network promotes multilateral scientific cooperation, joint research projects, conferences, faculty and student exchange. Eurasia-Pacific Uninet supports the concept of Austrian higher education policy with its focus on excellence. Preface The Eurasia-Pacific Uninet has been growing fast since its beginning in the year 2000 and has become an im- portant factor in establishing contacts with universi- ties and higher education and research institutions in East, Central and South Asia as well as in the Pacific © Christian Jungwirth Region. This network is by far the largest university network in Europe and a platform of international ex- change in the fields of science and research success- fully linking Austria with this economically important Asian region. Moreover, cooperation related to educa- tion, culture and economics is fostered as well. Scholarships, summer schools and projects are the three main fields of activities of the network. For stu- dents and researchers the Eurasia-Pacific Uninet offers the opportunity to enhance their knowledge not only in their scientific fields of interest but also in terms of intercultural experience. Working and studying abroad is an important contribution to mutual understand- ing and promotes individual personal development. By now, more than 1,500 participants have attended these annual summer schools and have profited from such an academic and intercultural experience. The annual report 2009 provides an excellent over- view of the different projects in several fields. There are remarkable examples of fruitful cooperation and outstanding scientific projects, of interest not only for of the Eurasia-Pacific Uninet, its successful projects, Austria, but for all of Europe. and I also want to thank the whole team for their com- Encouraged and promoted by the Federal Ministry of mitment and excellent work.

    25th Commemorations of the Genocide against the Tutsis: "Mr. President, it is time to make a statement of truth! " Mr. President, It has been 25 years since the genocide against the Tutsis has been perpetrated in Rwanda. Over the course of three months, more than one million people were exterminated by extremists coming together as the Hutu Power movement, with a massive participation of the population. The consequences of this genocide are still felt today. This past, particularly for France, does not pass. Since your election, you have sent signals of hope that the time has come to put an end to the French position characterized by silence and denial since the genocide took place. After 25 years, it is finally time to take the necessary steps in order to shed light on the truth and pursue justice. Mr. President, next April 7th your place is in Kigali, amongst the highest representatives of the international community. By the side of the survivors. France has cancelled its participation at the 20th commemoration of the genocide; your presence this year would repair this disgrace. What survivors, youth, French civil society, Rwanda, and Europe are expecting from you first and foremost is that truth be told. Even though genocide denial persists in its attempt to manipulate History, you must state the obvious : in 1994, in Rwanda, a genocide has been perpetrated against the Tutsi people. You must further explain the words spoken in Kigali in 2010 from your predecessor, former President of the French Republic Nicolas Sarkozy, who recognized that “errors of judgement and political errors have been made here and have produced absolutely dramatic consequences”.

  • The International Cultural Relations at the Federal Ministry of European and International Affairs (Bmeia)
    THE INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL RELATIONS AT THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS (BMEIA) Basic Principles, Key Areas and Programmes 1 2 THE INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL RELATIONS AT THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS (BMEIA) Basic Principles, Key Areas and Programmes 4 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS AUSLANDSKULTURKONZEPT On the basis of its experiences with the key areas and programmes to date, and with a view to the future, the Directorate-General for International Cultural Affairs at the Federal Ministry of European and International Affairs has further developed the basic principles, key areas and programmes for Austrian international cultural policy. These principles align with the joint efforts of our partners at federal, provincial, and mu- nicipality level, as well as many other individuals and institutions working in the fields of art, culture, the sciences and dialogue and their valuable and constructive contributions to our country and its international relations. The initial outline of this document was completed before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and its focus is on the future. Some new insights and experiences from the pandemic period are however reflected in this document, which summarises the efforts of Austrian International Cultural Relations in its areas of activity and thematic fields to date. Two new areas are defined which must play a role in future international cultural policy: ecology and new forms of sustainable economy, as well as the issue of the impact of digi- talisation on life and work in the future. The document was developed by staff at the Directorate-General for International Cul- tural Affairs, under the supervision of Teresa Indjein, Peter Mikl and Christian Autengru- ber with contributions by Ulla Krauss-Nussbaumer, Marcus Bergmann, Stephan Vavrik, Waltraud Dennhardt-Herzog, Ingrid Köhn-Dursy, Sonja Reiser-Weinzettl, Karin Cervenka, Valerie Hagg, Martin Pammer, Denise Quistorp-Rejc and Martin Rauchbauer.

  • Kyrgyzstan in Crisis: Permanent Revolution and the Curse of Nationalism
    Working Paper no. 79 - Development as State-making - KYRGYZSTAN IN CRISIS: PERMANENT REVOLUTION AND THE CURSE OF NATIONALISM Anna Matveeva Crisis States Research Centre September 2010 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © a. Matveeva, 2010 This document is an output from a research programme funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development. However, the views expressed are not necessarily those of DFID. 24 Crisis States Research Centre Kyrgyzstan in Crisis: Permanent Revolution and the Curse of Nationalism Anna Matveeva Crisis States Research Centre Kyrgyzstan is a small Central Asian country situated on borders of China and Kazakhstan. It is mostly known to the world as a host to both US and Russian military bases; but also offers the possibility to explore the interrelationship between the weakening of the state and the rise of politicised ethnicity. This led to massive clashes in June 2010 in the South, in which an estimated two-thousand people died1 and hundreds of thousands were displaced. This was the most dramatic, but not the only occasion of political turbulence. Kyrgyzstan has been the only post-Soviet country that has survived two forceful regime changes since independence. Other countries that experienced ‘colour revolutions’ in the 2000s – Ukraine and Georgia − achieved a certain degree of stabilisation, while Kyrgyzstan suffered the worst interethnic clashes at a time when it seemed that the period of rampant nationalism, characteristic of the former Soviet republics in the early 1990s, was over. As a result, from a ‘Switzerland of Central Asia’ it emerged as its Bosnia: a volatile place, which its neighbours fear, as Kyrgyzstan became transformed from an international development success into a complex emergency, which would require considerable humanitarian assistance.
