NATO I For 30 years, NATO has served the West remarkably well. Now it is time for a marked l strategic change, especially as regards NATO naval forces. Although NATO has deep cultural, political and economic roots, in essence it is a military coalition designed to prevent Soviet aggression. NATO transformed a basic principle of American national security: prior to 1949, the military world view of the United States was to avoid European entanglements, to rely upon large oceans and a powerful Navy and to assist endangered Eurpoean democracies only after war had begun; through NATO, the United States entered a permanent European "entanglement" In order to deter a third world war on the continent

Based in the hilly, unglaciated Driftless Area of the upper Midwest of the United States, Common/Place is a self-organized, off-the-grid platform for ecological resilience, cultural inquiry, and land-based pedagogy. The rustic setting offers a space to examine how such rural spaces have been both produced by and mobilized within the linked projects of capitalist extraction and settler colonial extermination and to connect and grow the nodes of resistance always present within such systems. Our primary project up to this point has been a series of experimental seminars assembling artists, writers, and cultural workers to learn from and with naturalists, historians, farmers, citizens of the Indigenous Ho-Chunk Nation, and the land itself. This grounded creative research and pedagogy generates a network of informal relationships that connect the urban and rural to break through the present moment of political retrenchment and set the stage for social and ecological cooperation in the face of the climate chaos to come. This practice-based, epistolary essay reflects on the first four years of Common/Place, highlighting constitutive tensions and continued negotiations around property, relationships, ecology, and time—individual, generational, and geological—that can quickly become sedimented in infrastructure and no longer open to question.

Sharing the same language, culture, and except for the last hundred years, history, Albania and Kosovo are closely tied to each other. With common symbols, history, and geography, the two states have had to build new ways of cooperation in the new millennium, especially in the field of transportation, energy, and tourism. The two societies keep each other in high esteem, there is a social will for further cooperation, as well as a common commitment to European integration, which is even preferred over national integration, as it is obvious that in the twenty-first century it is the European Union that can offer a national union for Albanian people.
