Reputation and status in Denmark’s strategic culture
... 1990s, Sweden’s and Norway’s commitment to peacekeeping and UN institutions proved more persistent than that of Denmark [12].
Denmark leaned towards a strategy of aligning itself with the US. It consistently reduced defence spending, supported the transformation of NATO’s functions and objectives, facilitated the Baltic States’ accession to NATO and joined major ad hoc coalitions created by the US and its European allies in 1990—1991 during the Gulf War, in October 2001 during the operation ...

The border as a barrier and an incentive for the structural economic transformation of the Kaliningrad exclave
... goods and services [2].
Economic entities also tend to adapt to the new geopolitical situation and border regimes. Altered external conditions cause some industries to decline and others to burgeon, bringing about a restructuring of the economy. These transformations will cause further, thought-out rather than erratic, adaptation of border functions and regime to the new circumstances with a view to launch desired processes and mitigate the consequences of the changes.
The adaptation of a region to ...
The Accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO: Geopolitical implications for Russia’s position in the Baltic Sea region
... aggravation of the Russian-Western confrontation, seriously disadvantages Russia.
Yet, the consequences of such an expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance, which, in the opinion (albeit not indisputable) of many observers, primarily in the West, means the transformation of the Baltic into a ‘NATO lake’, are not unambiguous. Russia still has many opportunities both to protect its own interests and avoid complete isolation in the region and to prevent a dangerous escalation of tensions, fraught with ...

In the medium term, regionalisation is possible as (1) part ...
Text reinterpretation and the motif of transformation in a short form of Internet poetry

Reinterpretation manes that readers change their perception of the situation or carry out a ‘transformation’, that is, substitute the character or the entire situation. I identify common transformations, namely: thing → person, person → thing, person → animal, etc. Most frequent is the reciprocal transformation of men and cats. The transformation ...

Just like popular science, educational and media narratives, an essential element of this struggle is the transformation of the symbolic space: the removal of ‘alien’ memorials failing to fit the symbolic landscape. The most effective way to wage a ‘war of monuments’ is their demolition, a quick action generating instant publicity. As a rule, monument ...
