Procesy transformacyjne, jakie zaszły po 1989 roku w krajach należących do byłego bloku sowieckiego prowadziły do utworzenia w tych państwach mechanizmów właściwych dla gospodarki rynkowej. Liderem tego rodzaju przemian wśród państw bałtyckich była Estonia. Artykuł przedstawia specyfikę usytuowania geograficznego tego kraju, wpływającą na skuteczność zmian społeczno-gospodarczych, opisuje w sposób skrótowy wdrażanie poszczególnych reform oraz wspomina o roli finansowego wsparcia udzielonego temu krajowi przez Unię Europejską.

Republika Estońska ma 149 miejsce na świecie pod względem liczby ludności oraz zajmuje tylko 45 226 km2 powierzchni. Najstarsze ślady osadnictwa na terenie Estonii pochodzą z około 8000 Ramm-Szatkiewicz roku p.n.e. Samo państwo jest jednak młode, po wiekach podległości duńskiej, szwedzkiej, niemieckiej, rosyjskiej, uzyskało niepodległość dopiero po I Wojnie Światowej. Niestety na krótko, gdyż później stało się republiką Związku Socjalistycznych Republik Radzieckich aż do 1991 roku. Sytuacja kraju zmieniła się zdecydowanie, gdy zostało członkiem Unii Europejskiej i NATO w 2004 roku. Administracyjnie Estonia dzieli się na 15 prowincji, włączając przepiękne bałtyckie wyspy Saremę, Hiiumę i ponad 1500 drobnych, w większości niezamieszkałych.

Z przemian estońskich mediów publicznych w procesie transformacji

The transformation of the Estonian press began in the late eighties of the 20th century. There is quite a large discrepancy in the dates of the end of this process which could be explained by the fact that the formation of the newspaper market in Estonia started in 1994. However, the events of the early 21st century showed that the formation of new structures was an extremely laborious and very long process. Undoubtedly, the success of the transformation process was the emergence of the Estonian media already in the initial stage of private radio and television stations as well as local private radio stations. The transformation of the political system, which took place in Estonia, did not lead to a rapid loss of leadership of public television – Eesti TV. Eesti TV had remained the market leader in the electronic press until 1999 and in 2001 it lost its position to the most popular TV in Estonia, the commercial station TV3, which had existed since 1996. The article describes the changes that occurred in the public media in this neuralgic period.

The following chapters analyse the background of Estonia’s decision to join the military operation of Afghanistan, its links to Estonian society and political elites, but also a possible influence of the Afghanistan experience on the post-ISAF NATO. This article argues that the Afghanistan experience has offered two basic lessons to be learned by Estonia in framing its understanding of crisis management: 1) Estonia’s military achieved valuable combat experience against a “live” enemy; 2) our political elites learned the importance of post-conflict state-building, that civil support to state-building in the post-conflict situation is no less important than a military contribution.

This article aims at exploring the ways in which Estonian Public Broadcasting (ERR) tackles one specific media service sphere; how television programmes for Russian language minorities are created in a small country. For that task development of the whole Estonian media landscape must be overviewed. By referring to McQuail’s (2010) theoretical framework of media institutions’ influencers, this article investigates how media policy, economic conditions and technology have influenced these processes. The article gives an insight into the development of Russian language media in such a small media market as Estonia.

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) was used to analyse the circular Vaidasoo bog in northern Estonia. This was done to better understand its structure and origin, and to test the suggestion that Vaidasoo represents a meteorite impact structure. The combination of GPR with LIDAR data suggests that Vaidasoo bog is developed in a NW–SE oriented glacial tunnel valley where post-glacial hydrology is affected by glaciofluvial deposits. As no clear impact-modified bedrock features were identified and the circular bog does not mirror the topography of the bedrock, we conclude that the Vaidasoo structure does not represent a meteorite impact structure.

An innovation-driven agenda in regional development policy has emerged in the European Union against the backdrop of peripheralisation, especially in Central and Eastern Europe. Using a discursive analytical framework, the article investigates the ways in which peripheralisation is manifested through language, practices and power-rationalities in Estonian innovation policy discourse. The analysis is footed on key strategic policy documents and semistructured expert interviews. Findings suggest that Estonian innovation policy’s main narrative of the ‘knowledge-based economy’ accepts growing disparities on sub-national level in order to overcome peripherality at European scale and narrows the range of policy solutions perceived as suitable.

The following phytoplankton characteristics and parameters were studied for different ecological types of river reaches: biomass (PB, mg l-1); abundance (PA, ×106 cells l-1); number of taxa per quantitative sample (PT); Nygaard's phytoplankton compound quotient (PCQ); phytoplankton dominants (PD). The quantitative characteristics of phytoplankton (species richness, abundance, biomass and PCQ) revealed an increasing trend from small to large upstream catchment areas, but did not respond to different river bedrock or flow velocity. Additionally, PCQ was the highest for the class of 'good' water quality. The phytoplankton dominants were not suitable for typology in the case of small streams where species composition was heterogeneous, without a welldeveloped phytoplankton community.

One of the most apparent signs of the crisis of the democratic system is a systematically decreasing turnout level in national and supranational elections and referenda. In reports and analyses concerning the level of political participation, experts more and more frequently notice a decreasing tendency of the citizen’s involvement in numerous types of elections. As Ola Pettersson points out, “according to the sources, less and less citizens appear at the ballot boxes”. Jacek Raciborski indicates that one of the most signifi cant consequences of the low citizen’s participation at the election procedures is the considerable legitimacy deficit. A number of countries attempt to prevent these phenomena from happening by undertaking various actions aimed at increasing the level of citizens’ involvement in political life (notably by increasing their participation in elections). That would infl uence the growth of the legitimacy level of the undertaken political decisions. It is worth noticing, that apart from the commonly used ways of increasing election attendance (such as correspondence voting, mobile ballot boxes), over the last few years politicians in many countries have had numerous discussions aimed at the implementation of electronic voting (e-voting). Its followers claim that thanks to e-voting, election and referenda turnout may be increased, as this method enables disabled people and people who are abroad to take part in elections. Furthermore, a considerable advantage of e voting, compared to traditional voting in polling stations is of greater convenience than the former. The aim of the following text is to attempt to provide an answer to the question whether electronic voting can be treated as a panacea for low election turnouts, whether this form of voting may be a warranty of a higher level of voter’s attendance than before. In the article, the author bases on the experience connected with e voting in two European countries – Estonia and Switzerland, which can be referred to as the pioneers in the use of e voting.

Estonia is recognized by the Muscovite Patriarchy as a part of the so-called “canonical territory” of the Russian Orthodox Church (the ROC).The participation of the ROC in Estonia is connected with the split of the Estonian Orthodox Church. Two religious fractions function there in the country: the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Muscovite Patriarchy and the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church of the Constantinopolitan Patriarchy (the EAOC). On the example of the situation in Estonia, a relation between religious issues and an aspiration to political independence can be observed there. The subject of the article is the question of how the argument in the bosom of the Estonian Orthodox Church is of a political character and what the priorities of the Muscovite Patriarchy are in the context of the existing situation. The time frames of the article are set at the first decade of the 21st century. The facts mentioned prove that authorities of the Russian Federation are also engaged in the argument discussed. The aim of Kremlin and the ROC is mutuala renaissance of Russia as an Orthodox empire and preservation of the canonical ROC's territory under Russian control.

Debates about the democratic legitimacy of the European Union (EU) have been prevalent amongst scholars since its beginning. Students have analysed the legitimacy of the EU in terms of various normative criteria. But how is the EU legitimated in individual Member States and more so in an economic and sovereignty crisis when loyalties are particularly tested? The current study sheds light on it, scrutinising the conceptions associated with the EU in a country case of Estonia. Discourse analysis is used as a methodological tool to analyse the political discourse in printed media. The results indicate that the legitimation of the EU is derived from its output-oriented strategies, seeing the EU largely in instrumental terms.
