Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 8, Maastricht University (Faculty for Arts and Social Sciences), language: English, abstract: The paper deals with the subject matter of the German–Polish border region and its implications for Poland’s integration into the European Union. The research question is: Is the German–Polish border region (along the River Oder) a European region? This also implies the question whether Poland is fully integrated into the European Union. To answer the question, this paper deals with the importance, which political and cultural relations with Germany have for Poland’s integration into the EU. The paper will attempt to demonstrate the connection between cultural exchange and political relations. In the course of the analysis the significance of stereotypes and prejudices formed by historical events and circumstances is being analised. The focus is on the endeavours undertaken by Polish and German governments, civil society organisations and cultural institutions to make a difference concerning the complicated historical and political situation regarding the EU enlargement and Poland’s accession.

Download or read book Friendly Eastern Border The Case Study of Podlaskie Voivodship written by Aleksander Maksimczuk and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polish Eastern border is also the external border of the European Union. Borders with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are crucial, for the EU, for reasons of safety, economic and social. A characteristic feature for Podlaskie voivodship is its peripherality. Due to the immediate vicinity of the EU and the three countries from the Eastern Europe there is a need to strengthen and build programs to promote cross-border and interregional co-operation. It's implemented in various forms, based on local and regional natural resources (environment) and activities related to the maintenance and protection of the border. Appropriate use of the opportunity can create activation of Polish border regions through the development of cross-border cooperation and to make the "friendly border."
Download or read book The Challenge of East West Migration for Poland written by Keith Sword and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-02-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major features of the social landscape of the new states of Eastern Europe and the former USSR is migration, whether voluntary or coerced. The decline of communism in both East and Central Europe, as well as the fall of the Soviet empire has created new population and ethnic problems. The recent exodus has proved to be the largest migration wave reported in Europe in over 40 years. The problem of foreigners in Poland is a subject scarcely studied and insufficiently described. This volume has been compiled on the basis of papers prepared for a Social Sciences Seminar series at the School of Slavonic Studies, London, which was devoted to migratory movements in Poland since 1989. This volume thus contains the latest data and results of research (quantitative as well as qualitative) on the movement of foreigners into Poland. It is a groundbreaking work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of writings explores European borders from the 15th century to the present. The territorial scope ranges from the Arctic Ocean and Scandinavia to Central Europe. In these papers, borders are understood not only as separating lines in the terrain, but also as socially constructed divisions in people's choices, speeches, actions, and memories. Borders are not only drawn: they are imagined, negotiated, and remembered. (Series: Studies on Middle and Eastern Europe / Mittel- und Ostmitteleuropastudien - Vol. 11)

Download or read book Transgression as a Rule written by Ulrich Best and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2007 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas currently, German-Polish relations are marked by irritations, the previous phase of politics and discourse from 1990 leading up to the EU-accession of Poland was marked by an increasing stress on Europe in both countries. This was connected with changing practices of cross-border cooperation as well as a change in academic border studies. Transgression as a Rule argues that resulting from this, cross-border cooperation has become a rule. The actors negotiate new, contradictory spaces for their actions: supported by the state but partly uncomfortable with it, drawing on the powerful discourse of cooperation and trying to escape from it. Their practices can also inform the practices of border studies.

Download or read book Divided Eastern Europe written by Aleksandr Dyukov and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-08 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1938, on the eve of what would mark the beginning of the Second World War during the international crisis, Eastern Europe was divided – in every sense of the word. New governments, which were generally regarded as national states, rose from the ashes of the old pre-modern Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires. However, civic nations were not formed within them; the titular ethnic groups were far from being the only representing populations in these states. The new states in Eastern Europe were the offspring of wars and revolutions. Their borders were initially determined by the rights of the powerful. New borders divided entire peoples, having created the very foundation for inter-state conflicts as well as the desire to revise the established order in the region. One of the consequences of the Second World War was the revision of Eastern European borders. Still today, historians have yet to agree upon a single assessment of the eastern European events in the 1930s and 1940s. Researchers from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Moldavia, Israel, Germany and the USA have all contributed articles featured in this collection. The book is focused on national border changes in Eastern Europe during the period from 1938 to 1947: population transfer as a result of foreign and domestic political considerations, interethnic relationships and ethnic purges of paramilitary units; the concept of self- perception of people living on frontiers forced to change their national and civil status; and the problems of modern East European borders.
Download or read book A Border Town in Poland written by Bieler Hirsch and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thousands of Russian Jews fleeing Tsarist persecution in the late 19th/early 20th centuries reached East Prussia through the Russian-Polish town Grajewo - a major illicit land crossing for waves of political, religious and economic emigrés. The 1870s rail link connecting Great Russia to Germany though Grajewo had created this East-West commercial junction. Hirsch Bieler, born 1900 in Grajewo, was among them. The Great War, begun at his doorstep, launched his journey to three Promised Lands. In 1919 teenage Hirsch left Poland forever for Leipzig in Weimar Germany. There he found a new home through 'adult adoption' by a childless Lutheran couple; community among other Zionist-leaning Eastern European Jews; a rich cultural life; and an entrepreneurial career in the rising petroleum trade. In 1931 he married Anna Burstein, a talented young Romanian concert pianist. That life was upended by Hitler's 1933 rise to power. In 1936 the couple fled with their small daughter - first, to Tel Aviv, then to America, overcoming onerous "Papers, please" barriers as world doors slammed shut for those seeking refuge. Meanwhile Soviet occupation, Nazi invasions and the Holocaust trapped Hirsch's friends and family still in Europe, scattering others across continents. He saved their correspondence chronicling those desperate years. In 1978 Hirsch and Anna revisited Leipzig. He began sharing his formative experiences as teen smuggler, fur trader, and oil supplier to I. G. Farben with us: his daughter Nora Jean and son-in-law Michael. We transcribed his recollections. He revised and expanded them, still managing the Philadelphia industrial lubricants firm he founded, until his death in 1985. His colorful recollections, plus extensive research, the inherited contents of his secret steel "strong box," and materials shared by his Suwalski/Antman family, resulted in this book." - publisher
Download or read book Foresters Borders and Bark Beetles written by Eunice Blavascunas and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Europe's last primeval forest, at Poland's easternmost border with Belarus, the deep past of ancient oaks, woodland bison, and thousands of species of insects and fungi collides with authoritarian and communist histories. Foresters, biologists, environmentalists, and locals project the ancient Bia±owieçza Forest as a series of competing icons in struggles over memory, land, and economy, which are also struggles about whether to log or preserve the woodland; whether and how to celebrate the mixed ethnic Polish/Belarusian peasant past; and whether to align this eastern outpost with ultraright Polish political parties, neighboring Belarus, or the European Union. Eunice Blavascunas provides an intimate ethnographic account, gathered in more than 20 years of research, to untangle complex forest conflicts between protection and use. She looks at which pasts are celebrated, which fester, and which are altered in the tumultuous decades following the collapse of communism. Foresters, Borders, and Bark Beetles is a timely and fascinating work of cultural analysis and storytelling that textures its ethnographic reading of people with the agency of the forest itself and its bark beetle outbreaks, which threaten to alter the very composition of the forest in the age of the Anthropocene"--
Download or read book The Oder Neisse Line written by Debra J. Allen and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2003-07-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the United States and its World War II allies met at the Potsdam Conference to provisionally establish the Oder-Neisse line as Poland's western border and to acknowledge the removal of Germans from the area, they created a controversial Cold War issue that would not be resolved until 1990. American policy makers throughout those decades studied and analyzed materials and reports to determine whether the border should be adjusted or recognized to promote the well being of Europe and the United States. This is the first study to cover the full history of the Oder-Niesse line and its impact on U.S. relations with Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as its domestic implications, throughout the Cold War years. As with many diplomatic questions, the State Department did not have the luxury of addressing this issue in a vacuum. Instead, the foreign policy bureaucracy had to keep its focus on the border issue while scrutinizing Soviet words and actions regarding its satellites in East Germany and Poland, and to address members of Congress and the public (including various groups of Polish Americans) who wanted specific, but often differing, actions taken in respect to the border. This work reveals how the diplomats and policy makers handled such internal conflict, the sometimes skewed perceptions of America held by Europeans, and how the State Department interacted with the public.
