25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

ROMA ARCHEOLOGIA e RESTUARO ARCHITETTURA: Dott.ssa Laura Nicotra, "The Figurative Programme of the Architraval Friezes in the Forum of Trajan, Rome' Thesis., University of Leicester, U.K. (06/2015) [pdf], 1-444.
Abstract - In Rome's Forum of Trajan fragments from architraval friezes with figurative motifs of seven different types have been discovered over the centuries: eagle-headed griffins and candelabra; eagle-headed griffins and tripods; eagle-headed griffins and cupids; lionheaded griffins, cupids and vases; cupids in acanthus; Victories killing bulls and dressing candelabra; sphinxes. The aim of this research is to investigate if there is a connection between these decorative motifs and the architectural structures where they were exhibited, and if their iconographic choice depends on their deeper significance in the Forum's wider context. Following an introduction to the history of the excavation of the Forum and to its different sections, for each frieze type is proposed a comprehensive analysis of all the fragments with an ascertained provenance from the Forum, which have never previously been studied together. Their location in the different buildings forming the Forum's complex, as identified through information from excavation reports, drawings and the relevant reconstruction of the architectural orders is discussed, as well as their iconography and comparison with other artworks and monuments, which attests that Trajan chose a traditional iconography already used in previous similar examples in contexts comparable to the various structures of Trajan's Forum.
Against this background, we argue that the reliefs were part of a wider figurative programme, and Trajan expressed the messages he wanted to transmit through the traditional language of his predecessors. Griffins, cupids, Victories and sphinxes are polysemous mythological figures, attributes of different divinities: their symbolism related to diverse gods depending on their various aspects can be interpreted according to the function of the buildings forming the Forum when it is known, or can help to investigate the use of these structures when it is not known.

BCD June 2020 Show & Tell Theme MY COUNTRY
I have assembled this image before, three years ago at the BCD 2017 House Party, with the help of many friends. Now I was on my own, and instead of a Victory Gold Box I had a Gold Box Super Cut. Have my jigsawing skills improved it that time? (I've certainly been through a tough training programme, courtesy of a Genest Le Colimacon mystery puzzle!)
I started off laying pieces out, and my brain must have been in neutral because I separated out straight edges - and Super Cuts have a wavy edge! I soon realised my faux pas and started on the sky. After completing the sky and the top of the buildings I decided that I would build the canopy and dais (distinctive patterns) and large colour areas (sets of clothing). Soon some of these groups started coming together. That left the rug and flooring and finally the most difficult areas, the buildings. I knew when I started that there were three pieces missing - at least nine pieces hid in plain sight and I was convinced throughout most of the build that there were more than that missing. Until very late on, I thought that I had three pieces from another jigsaw, but eventually two pieces (whose holes were hiding under trays) were placed and I was left with just one oddment.
Victory Gold Box Super Cut 1000pc Envoy to the Mogul is one of a series of large Victory Gold Box and Gold Box Super Cuts. My jigsaw is clearly from a period when Victory were still cutting shapely whimsies, and this jigsaw also includes a great deal of line cutting. The print, however, is not as sharp as I would have hoped- or perhaps there is a slight misalignment in one of the printing passes.
This painting is 'Sir Thomas Roe at the court of Ajmir, 1614' by William Rothenstein, one of eight monumental canvases commissioned in 1927 to fill the vacant spaces in St Stephen’s Hall, Palace of Westminster. These represent the governing and artistic classes view of key moments in the history of OUR COUNTRY.
Sir Thomas Roe, envoy from King James I of England to the Mogul Emperor, succeeded by his courtesy and firmness at the Court of Ajmir in laying the foundation of British influence in India. The East India Company had recently established England’s first presence in India with a factory at Surat. Roe’s main task was to establish diplomatic relations with the Mughal Empire, seek Jahangir’s support for the Surat venture and negotiate a treaty enabling further trade. By the end of his period as ambassador in 1618, Roe had secured English commercial access to Jahangir’s dominions, though a formal treaty was never signed.
The St Stephen's Hall Decor Scheme and Murals
An initial suggestion for the panels in St Stephen's Hall was made by Sir Charles Barry in 1843 for 'Great domestic events in British history'. The scheme never went ahead despite Daniel Maclise being commissioned in 1857. The area was lined with marble statues of statesmen on either side of the hall in the 1850's. It was not until 1909 that work finally started on the mural scheme through sponsorship from the Royal Academy, but by 1924 only two more paintings had been added. Speaker Whitley intervened and an informal committee pushed ahead with commissioning 'The Building of Britain' scheme (subjects chosen from the eight centuries from King Alfred to Queen Anne).
Eight paintings were commissioned from the artists Monnington, Rothenstein, Lawrence, Forbes, Gill, Philpot, Sims and Clausen. Historical advice was supplied by Sir Henry Newbolt, and the artists being supervised by Sir David Young Cameron. The subjects included the importance of naval defence, and of transporting expeditions overseas, nobles who protested against oppression; the long struggle for religious freedom; the daring adventure to find the New World in the Elizabethan age; the start of English influence in India; and the union of Scotland and England in 1707. The bold colours and simplicity of line were intended as part of a new direction in mural painting which strove to break with the traditions of the past. They received critical acclaim, being considered well suited for public art.
I managed to bring my lens purchasing programme forward by about six months and this weekend I purchased two new lenses for my Sony A7RMk2. One was the 55mm used for this photograph and the second was the Sony 90mm Macro which is a bit more difficult to use correctly. The FE 55mm F1.8 can also be used on Sony's APS-C E-mount bodies, on which it will behave like a classic short telephoto 'portrait' lens. Later next week I will test to see how well it works with my old NEX-7.

Theatre programme for a production of 'Arsenic and Old Lace', by Joseph Kesselring. Performed by The Lawrence Williamson Players at the Hippodrome and Queen's Theatre, Keighley, from Monday 22nd September 1947. It ran for six nights, including a Wednesday matinee and two performances on the Saturday evening.
The Lawrence-Williamson Players were in residence at the Hippodrome throughout the summer and autumn of 1947. This particular production starred Ann Jackson, Leonard Clarke, Arthur Rees, Geoffrey Kellett, Margaret Lloyd, Enid Irvin, Donald Morley, Stanley Collings, Arnold Sutcliffe, Adam O'Riordan and John Kinsella. Piano accompaniment was provided by Irene Marriner and Margaret Rothwell. The play was produced by Arthur Rees. Furniture for the production was loaned by Messrs. Grays (Furnishers) Ltd. of Church Green, while electrical equipment and radio was loaned by Bacon & Coates Ltd. of Royal Arcade.
The play was previewed in the Keighley News of 20th September 1947: "In the comedy-thriller 'Arsenic and Old Lace', to be presented by the Lawrence-Williamson Players next week, a character remarks that 'Here's a strange taint in the Brewater blood. If you knew my family it's what you woulkd expect of Strondberg had written 'Hellza Poppin'.' The remark could have been made equally well of this sinister, bizarre and ludicrously funny play. The theatregoer writhes in his seat with laughter and the next moment the laugh is frozen on his face and turned to a gasp of horror. The play has been filmed, but the stage is the only medium for its true portrayal. An augmented cast and special scenery have been secured for this notable production."
The programme also carries adverts for L. B. Lockwood & Co. (carpets and curtains) of Bradford; Timothy Taylor's Better Beers from Knowle Spring Brewery; Thomas Whitehead & Son (Tanners) Ltd. of Church Green; Dobson's Health Food & Herbal Store of Bow Street; Airways Taxis (proprietor J. Watkinson); R. Dewhurst (tobacconist) of Silsden; Sun Street Printing Works (Keighley) Ltd.; and E. & T. Wall Ltd. (wine merchants) of Hanover Street.
The original programme was donated to Keighley and District Local History Society by Tim Neal in August 2020. It is held in the History Society's physical archive.
The Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) currently includes over 100 Issuing Banks in the EBRD region and more than 800 Confirming Banks worldwide. The event gave EBRD partner banks the opportunity to review and discuss industry challenges, pricing, limits and trade opportunities with key industry specialists, regulators and representatives from the World Trade Organization, the International Chamber of Commerce HQ and local National ICC Committees.
It also featured the highly popular award ceremony for ‘The Most Active EBRD TFP Banks’ and ‘The Best Transaction of 2016’.
