Argelia y los estudios árabes en Alicante (I): Míkel de Epalza

En el presente estudio deseamos presentar los trabajos elaborados por Míkel de Epalza en torno a Argelia, y en especial sobre el estudio de la historia argelina y española. De igual modo, este trabajo busca ser un modesto homenaje a todos los investigadores que han trabajado sobre nuestra historia común, argelinos, españoles y de cualquier otro origen, y en especial a quienes publicaron sus investigaciones en Argelia tras su independencia en 1962, que Míkel de Epalza ya estudiara hasta la fecha del año 1973, y cuyo elenco y conclusiones publicó como un libro titulado de Écrits relatifs à l’histoire de l’Espagne publiés en Algérie de 1962 à 1973. Las líneas esenciales de este estudio nacen de nuestro trabajo junto a Míkel de Epalza durante largos años y de la ponencia que presentamos al Congreso que en homenaje a Mouloud Kassem se celebró en Argel, entre el 27-29 de marzo de 2005. Lo que presentamos aquí es una redacción más completa y específica sobre la labor y los trabajos que Míkel de Epalza dedicó al estudio de Argelia, que busca dar a conocer tanto su personalidad como algunos de los estudios bibliográficos que sobre Argelia y España se han realizado en los últimos 50 años. Deseamos que sirva este estudio como homenaje a la labor aperturista de Mouloud Kassem, así como a la memoria de su predecesor en el Ministerio de Asuntos Religiosos, el Ministro Ahmad Taoufc Al-Madani, autor de una obra fundamental titulada Harb thalâthumi’a sana bayna Al-Jazâ’ir wa-Isbâniyâ (1492-1792), a quien Míkel dedicó un estudio en 2001.

Kirkko, Kekkonen ja kommunismi poliittisina kriisivuosina 1958-1962

This study explores the relationship of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland to communism and political power during the period of crises in Finnish foreign relations with the Soviet Union from 1958 to 1962. During this period the USSR repeatedly interfered in Finland´s domestic affairs and limited her foreign political freedom of action. The research subjects for this dissertation are the bishops of the Church of Finland and the newspaper Kotimaa, which can be regarded as the unofficial organ of the church at the time. A typical characteristic of the Church of Finland from the beginning of the twentieth century was patriotism. During the interwar years the church was strongly anti-communist and against the Soviet Union. This tendency was also evident during the Second World War. After the war the Finnish Church feared that the rise of the extreme left would jeopardize its position. The church, however, succeeded in maintaining its status as a state church throughout the critical years immediately following the war. This study indicates that, although the manner of expression altered, the political attitude of the church did not substantially change during the postwar period. In the late 1950s and early 1960s the church was still patriotic and fear of the extreme left was also evident among the leaders of the church. The victory of the Finnish People's Democratic League in the general election of 1958 was an unwelcome surprise to the church. This generated fear in the church that, with Soviet support, the Finnish communists might return to governmental power and the nation could become a people's democracy. Accordingly, the church tried to encourage other parties to set aside their disagreements and act together against the extreme left throughout the period under study. The main characteristics of the church´s political agenda during this period of crisis were to support the Finnish foreign policy led by the president of the republic, Urho Kekkonen, and to resist Finnish communism. The attitude of Finnish bishops and the newspaper Kotimaa to the Cold War in general was generally in agreement with the majority of western Christians. They feared communism, were afraid of the USSR, but supported peaceful co-existence because they did not want an open conflict with the Soviets. Because of uncertainties in Finland's international position the Finnish Church regarded it as necessary to support the Finnish policy of friendship towards the USSR. The Finnish Church considerer it unwise to openly criticize the Soviet Union, tried resist the spread of communism in Finnish domestic policy. This period of foreign policy crises was principally seen by the church as a time when there was a need to strengthen Finland's unstable national position.
