Role of the Council of Europe in the new pan-European order, with reference to summit meeting held in Vienna, Oct. 8-9, 1993.

The events at the summit conference at Camp David in 1978 that led to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel and a framework for peace in the Middle East are summarized in a day-by-day account based on published records and interviews with participants. The phases ofgroup development during the 13-day period are analyzed from a functional perspective. The group progressed through the phases in the expected order, dealing in turn with problems of pattern maintenance, adaptation, integration, and goal attainment. However, three different subgroups met before acceptable drafts of the agreements could be devised (the adaptive phase). Even then, conflicts during the integrative phase almost led to a breakup of the meetings.

Meeting between US President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin; selected official statements and documents from US and Russian sources, Feb 25-Apr. 4, 1993. Includes texts of the Vancouver Declaration and White House fact sheets.

The Bratislava summit between US President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin was expected to be difficult, but instead the two presidents ignored past grievances and negative features to focus on the future. Bush did not accuse Putin of retreating from democracy, as the anti-Russian propaganda in the US media would have dictated with its reports on the Yukos affair and post-Soviet expansion. The accords on energy, terrorism, etc. reached in this summit are described. The two countries are pursuing identical objectives in many areas, and they need to maintain cordial relations, but the agenda of the dialogue at all levels should be expanded, especially as regards post-Soviet expansion, the Middle East, and North Korea.

North Korea's Chairman, Kim Jong Un, agreed to work toward the Korean peninsula's denuclearization at a Singapore summit meeting with President Trump on June 12, 2018. The encounter marked the first time in history that the president of the United States and the leader of North Korea have met in person. It came after an intense year and a half of interactions between the two countries, including the exchange of nuclear-laced military threats, the imposition of new sanctions by the United States and the UN Security Council, and, eventually, a touch of détente. Since the meeting occurred, North Korea has taken several steps consistent with commitments it made, including returning remains said to be those of American service members, refraining from missile launches, and beginning to dismantle its testing facilities. Also since the meeting occurred, the United States has suspended its usual joint military exercises with South Korea, consistent with a statement made by Trump at the summit, while leaving in place existing sanctions against North Korea.

Coconino Citizens Association meeting minutes, 1977, about the "Save the Peaks" controversy in Flagstaff, Arizona and other Northern Arizona issues. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: The "Save the Peaks" fight was a decade-long struggle, originally pitting local citizens against Summit Properties and its parent corporation, the Post Company. The Object of the controversy was a 350 acre parcel of land in the Hart Prairie area of the San Francisco Peaks. In the early 1970's, local Flagstaff citizens united to prevent the company's proposed development of the Hart Prairie acreage. During the course of the controversy, the citizens of Flagstaff and Summit Properties became allies against the United States Forest Service (USFS). Both groups felt the USFS, guardians of American public forest lands, extended the "Save the Peaks" controversy for many years by neither cooperating nor negotiating in good faith with either the citizens of Flagstaff or Summit Properties.

BACKGROUND: The In the Trenches series of cutting-edge knowledge sharing events on impact for front-line experts and practitioners provides an engagement platform for diverse stakeholders across government, research funding organizations, industry, and academia to share emerging knowledge and practical experiences. The second event of the series In the Trenches: Implementation to Impact International Summit was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada, on June 7–8, 2019. The overarching vision for the Summit was to create an engagement platform for addressing key challenges and finding practical solutions to move from implementation (i.e. putting findings into effect) to impact (i.e. creating benefits to society and the economy). PROCESSES AND PROCEEDINGS: The Summit used diverse approaches to facilitate active engagement and knowledge sharing between 80 delegates across sectors and jurisdictions. Summit sessions mostly consisted of short talks and moderated panels grouped into eight thematic sessions. Each presentation included a summary of Key Messages, along with a summary of the Actionable Insights which concluded each session. The presentations and discussions are analysed, synthesized and described in this proceedings paper using a systems approach. This demonstrates how the Summit focused on each of the necessary functions (and associated components) that should be undertaken, and combined, for effective research and innovation: stewardship and governance, securing finance, creating capacity, and producing and using research. The approach also identifies relevant challenges. CONCLUSIONS: There is increased interest globally in the benefits that can accrue from adopting a systems approach to research and innovation. Various organizations in Canada and internationally have made considerable progress on Implementation to Impact, often as a result of well-planned initiatives. The Summit highlights the value of 1) collaboration between researchers and potential users, and 2) the adoption by funders of approaches ...
