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 EBRDâs traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil societyâs 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 âreputational actorâ performing a âwatchdogâ function and as a generator of âsocial capitalâ necessary to sustain the chan
Perched high on a cliff, it's easy to see why the haunting remains of Whitby Abbey were inspiration for Bram Stoker's gothic tale of 'Dracula'. Sink your teeth into years of history, amazing views and a packed events programme, just a short climb away from the picturesque Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby.
The ruins of Whitby Abbey are among the most celebrated sights of North Yorkshire. The first monastery here, founded in about 657, became one of the most important religious centres in the Anglo-Saxon world. In 664 it was the setting for the Synod of Whitby, a landmark in the history of the Church in England. The headland is now dominated by the shell of the 13th-century church of the Benedictine abbey founded after the Norman Conquest.
Recent excavations have shown that the Whitby headland was settled during the late Bronze Age. A round house within a ditched enclosure was found near the cliff edge, and a number of objects dating to this period have been recovered.
The Whitby headland may have been occupied by a Roman signal station in the 3rd century AD, as it is midway between known stations at Goldsborough and Ravenscar, and is in a strategic position at the mouth of the river Esk. If so, the site of the signal station has probably long since fallen into the sea as the cliffs here have eroded steadily.
Anglian Whitby
Following the collapse of Roman rule Britain fragmented into a number of small kingdoms, and by the 7th century Northumbria – roughly covering what is now Northumberland and Yorkshire – was the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. In the 7th and 8th centuries the headland at Whitby was occupied by a large Anglian community, together with a celebrated monastery for both monks and nuns. Excavations here have revealed much evidence of Anglian life, including large quantities of pottery, household goods and fine metal objects.
There are two main sources for the history of Streaneshalch (probably meaning ‘Streane’s headland’), as it was then known. These are the Ecclesiastical History of the English People, completed about 731 by the Venerable Bede, a monk from St Paul’s Monastery at Jarrow on the Tyne; and a life of Pope Gregory the Great (d.604), by an anonymous monk of Streaneshalch.
In 627 the Anglian King of Northumbria, Edwin, converted to Christianity and was baptised by the Roman missionary St Paulinus. The monastery at Streaneshalch was founded in about 657 by Hild (614–80), daughter of an Anglian nobleman, with the support of Oswiu (d.670), then ruler of Anglian Northumbria. Streaneshalch seems to have been of particular importance to the Northumbrian royal family, as a number of its members were buried there. It was during Hild’s rule that the layman Cædmon lived at Streaneshalch, the first named poet in the English language
Abandonment and Norman Renewal
The Anglian town and monastery were abandoned at some point in the 9th century. We do not know exactly when or how this happened, but it was probably as a result of raids by Vikings from Denmark, followed by permanent Danish settlement. By the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 the headland seems to have been abandoned, although there was a substantial town called Whitby down by the harbour.
In about 1078 a monk called Reinfrid founded a new monastic community at Whitby. At a very early stage in its history this community split and the two parts each developed into a fully fledged Benedictine monastery: one on the headland at Whitby and the other at St Mary’s Abbey, York.
The Benedictine monastery initially probably had timber buildings or reused the Anglian ruins on the headland. About 1100 a stone church and conventual buildings were built in the Romanesque style, as well as a large parish church close by.
Monastic Expansion
In the 13th century the monastery church was rebuilt in the Gothic style. This was a massive undertaking, including major landscaping of the whole site, though there is no documentary evidence for it. The first building campaign is dated on stylistic grounds to about 1225–50. The eastern arm, the crossing and transepts, a central tower, and part of the nave were built before funds seem to have run out.
Work appears to have been resumed on the nave in the 14th century, but it was not finished until the 15th century. The only documentary evidence is a grant of permission for a monk of Whitby to embark on a fundraising campaign in 1338, recorded in the Whitby Cartulary (a compilation of the charters by which the monastery had been given property and legal privileges). The remains of the nave have been loosely dated on the basis of architectural style.
There were doubtless extensive monastic buildings south of the abbey church, but they were almost completely demolished after the abbey’s suppression in 1539
The Abbey and the Cholmleys
After the Suppression Sir Richard Cholmley (d.1578) bought the abbey’s buildings and the core of its estates. The Cholmley family adapted part of the abbot's lodgings into a house.
This was only one of the Cholmleys’ residences. Originally from Cheshire, they had already become major landowners in Yorkshire. Sir Hugh Cholmley I (1600–57) played a notable part in the Civil War (1642–51), defending Scarborough Castle for the king before surrendering it in 1645, after which Parliamentarian troops captured and looted the Abbey House at Whitby.
After the war Sir Hugh Cholmley II (1632–89) did much to restore the family estates and added a grand new wing (c 1672), known locally as the Banqueting House, to the Abbey House. He laid out a new entrance courtyard to provide a formal approach and setting.
In the 18th century the Cholmleys moved away, abandoning the Abbey House. The roof of the 1670s wing is said to have been removed after storm damage in the late 18th century.
The 18th and 19th Centuries
The shell of the abbey church was substantially complete until the 18th century (see Description of Whitby Abbey). It was weakened, however, by erosion from wind and rain. The south transept collapsed in 1736, much of the nave in 1763, the central tower in 1830 and the south side of the presbytery in 1839.
From the early 19th century Whitby became a popular seaside resort, with new terraces laid out on the West Cliff. The abbey ruins became a tourist destination, and rising interest in the site was recorded in numerous engravings and paintings. The publication of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula in 1897 gave Whitby a major literary association, ensuring that the sinister count would forever be associated with the town.
Ownership of the abbey ruins passed to the Strickland family, who were descendants of the Cholmleys. About 1880 Charles (later Sir Charles) Strickland added a wing to the surviving part of the Abbey House, to adapt it for occasional use as a holiday residence.
Whitby Abbey in the 20th Century
In 1914 the German High Seas Fleet shelled Whitby and struck the abbey ruins, causing considerable damage to the west front, though this was later repaired. In 1920 the Strickland family handed the abbey over to the Ministry of Works, and over the following decade Sir Charles Peers directed major excavations at the site, uncovering evidence of the Anglian settlement here.
Between 1993 and 2008 English Heritage carried out archaeological excavation and survey work, first in connection with the construction of the visitor centre, and secondly to rescue archaeological remains threatened by the steady erosion of the cliff. These excavations produced important evidence for all periods of the abbey’s history (see Research on Whitby Abbey).
Interesting that as early as 1959 there are two 650cc Triumphs in the sidecar entry - Roy and Stan Price, and Messrs Robins and Dormer. I can remember the Price Brothers and the Rose Brothers dominating the three wheeler class 1960-1962 - because they were the only ones who had large capacity twin cylinder propulsion - others seemed to retain a sentimental attachment to the Ariel motor - because Ariel 'was' the sidecar motor.

The Norway‐funded Nansen Programme has supported developing countries in fisheries research and management for more than 40 years. Fisheries and environmental surveys with the research vessel Dr. Fridtjof Nansen have been an important and integral part of the program throughout its lifetime. A new phase of this programme, the EAF‐ Nansen Programme, is about to start with a new research vessel, also named Dr. Fridtjof Nansen available from May 2017. This new phase is intended to further strengthen the knowledge base and the overall institutional capacity for the implementation of the EAF in developing countries with additional effort on the impact of climate variability and change, pollution and other anthropogenic stressors. The three pillars of the new programme are science, fisheries management (EAF) and capacity development.
FRom 14 to 17 February 2017 a meeting was held at the FAO HQ in Rome with the follwoing objectives:
•Bring together resource persons from partner institutions and set up research teams for the implementation of the science component of the EAF‐Nansen Programme;
•Review and complete participation in the themes;
•For each theme, develop research projects to be carried out collaboratively to form the basis of the research and survey work by the new R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen.

Once again our summer programme was oversubscribed with long waiting lists for some of the more popular trips and activities. A great bonus for us this year was our successful PAYP Open Access application secured in March, alongside our targeted South Liverpool Housing bid enabling us to reach far greater numbers.
To-date this year YouthPoint has :
• registered 116 young people from Speke/Garston (61 new registrations)
• delivered 271 hours of activities (45.16 hours average per week)
• accompanied 41 young people on a 3 night residential holiday in Blackpool
• secured £12,500 to spend on additional staff, activities, trips and residentials.
• delivered 150 volunteer hours through our peer mentoring scheme
Whilst our main aim was to make the summer as much fun as possible the Every Child Matters, five outomes for children continued to be key to our delivery.
Bullying is always high on our list of priorities during the summer as many of our young people are worried about going into their new schools in September. A series of informal discussion groups were held with staff where participants could talk about issues of concern including personal safety, relationships, bullying, drinking and substance misuse.
Residentials, day trips and a range of activities designed to overcome fears, stretch imagination, introduce new ideas and build on existing skills enabled the group to grow in confidence week by week. Activities included dance lessons, watersports, ice skating and arts & crafts sessions.
We provided regular access to a range of activities aimed at improving fitness levels, diet and lifestyle. The 'Sport for All' programme was well attended and this year we managed to limit time spent playing football to devote more time trying out new sports. With the help of Linda Mooney (South Liverpool Active City Co-ordinator) we enjoyed handball coaching and attended the city games. Four of them successfully represented the region in Manchester on August 21st.
Through our 'You are what you eat' programme, the group learned about how the food they eat affects their bodies. Armed with their knowledge of 'healthy eating' they were able to prepare food (including fruit smoothies) for the celebration at the village hall.

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.
