  • Latvia Towards Europe: Internal Security Issues
    North Atlantic Treaty Organization Andris Runcis LATVIA TOWARDS EUROPE: INTERNAL SECURITY ISSUES Final Report The preparation of this Report was made possible through a NATO Award. Rîga, 1999 1 Content Introduction 3 1. The basic aspects of a country’s security 5 2. Latvia’s security concept 8 3. Corruption 10 4. Unemployment 17 5. Non-governmental organizations 19 6. The Latvian banking system and its crisis 27 7. Citizenship issue 32 Conclusion 46 Appendix 48 2 Introduction The security of small countries has been a difficult problem since ancient times. Now, when the Cold War has ended and Europe has moved from a bipolar to a multipolar system, when the communist system in Eastern Europe has collapsed and the Soviet empire has disintegrated – processes which have led to the appearance of a series of new and mostly small countries in Europe – we are witnessing a renaissance of small countries in the international arena. Since regaining independence Latvia’s general foreign policy orientation has been associated with integration into European economic, political and military structures where full membership in the European Union (EU) is the cornerstone. The issue has been one of the most consolidated and undisputed on the country’s political agenda. Latvian politicians have stressed the country’s wish to become a member state of the European Union. On October 14, 1995, all political parties represented in the Parliament supported the State President’s proposed Declaration on the Policy of Latvian Integration in the European Union. On October 27, Latvia submitted its application for membership to the EU.

  • Host Land Or Homeland?: Civic-Cultural Identity and Banal Integration in Latvia
    Host land or homeland?: Civic-cultural identity and banal integration in Latvia Indra Dineh Ekmanis A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Scott Radnitz, Chair Guntis Šmidchens Sabine Lang James Felak Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2017 Indra Dineh Ekmanis University of Washington Abstract Host land or homeland?: Civic-cultural identity and banal integration in Latvia Indra Dineh Ekmanis Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Scott Radnitz, Associate Professor Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies This dissertation challenges conventional approaches in the study of minority integration by looking at the spaces in which integration occurs, rather than at instances of conflict. It develops a framework that considers banal manifestations of social integration in quotidian and national life. Concentrating on the case study of Russian-speakers and ethnic titulars in Latvia, it compares top-down, elite-led discourse on integration with lived interethnic interactions. In many conventional analyses, Latvia is considered a divided society wherein ethnic, linguistic, and cultural cleavages separate ethnic Latvians from the proportionally large population of Russian-speakers “left behind” when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. This population has been analyzed through immigrant, diaspora, and fifth column frameworks that suggest Russian speakers remain outside of the Latvian state and nation, if not always civically, then certainly culturally. This dissertation argues the frameworks and indicators traditionally used to measure integration do not sufficiently consider integration in everyday experiences, and therefore overlook much of the integration that is occurring on the ground.

  • In the Borderland На Прикордонні На Пограничье
    Розділ 1. Теорія та історія культури 147 UDC 730(477.54-25) Shevchenko Svedlow, Andrew J., Ph.D., Professor of Art History, University of Northern Colorado. Greeley, Colorado, USA IN THE BORDERLAND This essay was completed by the author while serving as a Fulbright Scholar assigned to the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture in March 2010. The paper studies the symbolic aspects of the famous monument to Taras Shevchenko in Kharkiv. According to the author, the figure of Katerina is symbolic of the strength of the mother as a metaphor for the state’s ability to lead and protect. The figure of the «Dying Haidamaka» symbolizes the fighting spirit of the revolutionary to fight and die for his country. Built in 1935, the monument was meant to transform the nationalist sentiments in Shevchenko’s poetry into feelings of allegiance to the communist state. However, all these attempts have failed. In contemporary Ukraine this monument is honored and acknowledged not as a symbol of Stalinist Socialist Realism but as a testament to the valor and persistence of the Ukrainian people and state. Manizer’s monumental public sculpture provides an authentic experience that helps the visitor unfold something of Ukrainian history and national identity. Key words: Manizer, Taras Shevchenko, monument, sculpture, symbolism, Socialist Realism, national identity. Ендрю Дж.

  • Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers
    Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Harsha Ram, Chair Professor Irina Paperno Professor Yuri Slezkine Fall 2010 ABSTRACT Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Harsha Ram, Chair The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 reminded many that “Soviet” and “Russian” were not synonymous, but this distinction continues to be overlooked when discussing Soviet literature. Like the Soviet Union, Soviet literature was a consciously multinational, multiethnic project. This dissertation approaches Soviet literature in its broadest sense – as a cultural field incorporating texts, institutions, theories, and practices such as writing, editing, reading, canonization, education, performance, and translation. It uses archival materials to analyze how Soviet literary institutions combined Russia’s literary heritage, the doctrine of socialist realism, and nationalities policy to conceptualize the national literatures, a term used to define the literatures of the non-Russian peripheries. It then explores how such conceptions functioned in practice in the early 1930s, in both Moscow and Baku, the capital of Soviet Azerbaijan. Although the debates over national literatures started well before the Revolution, this study focuses on 1932-34 as the period when they crystallized under the leadership of the Union of Soviet Writers.

  • Cultural Consumption and Participation of Latvian Population in Cultural Activities 2007-2014”
    SUMMARY OF THE STUDY „CULTURAL CONSUMPTION AND PARTICIPATION OF LATVIAN POPULATION IN CULTURAL ACTIVITIES 2007-2014” Authors: "Culturelab" researchers Gints Klāsons ([email protected]) and Baiba Tjarve ([email protected]) The study and translation was supported by the State Culture Capital Foundation www.kkf.lv Study context The promotion of evidence-based cultural policy and the establishment of regular cultural research traditions were one of the general long-term objectives of the society’s „Culturelab” research project „A Study of Cultural Consumption and Audiences of Cultural Activities”, which was carried out with the financial support of the State Culture Capital Foundation, and whose results and conclusions were summed up in the publication „Cultural Consumption and Participation of Latvian Population in Cultural Activities 2007-2014: Research Data and Statistics”1 released at the end of 2014, but its short summary is given in this report. The implementation of the study has allowed to obtain data on the population's attitude to culture in general, the most convenient channels of information and communication for target audiences, factors influencing the selection of cultural events, cultural consumption (including on the Internet) and participation in cultural activities, as well as identification of new cultural infrastructure objects and willingness to visit them. Since the study approbated a methodology used in preceding cultural consumption surveys, new data were comparable with previous survey data. Cultural consumption surveys (i.e. surveys on activity rates of the population attending and participating in various cultural events) in Latvia have a relatively recent history. The first cultural consumption survey was conducted in 2006.
