	US Department of State Bulletin: Soviet active measures - address before the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations - ...
		Characteristic of Soviet active measures is their wide scope, geographic spread, and persistence over time, as well as the frequent use of fabricated documents to underpin disinformation operations.
		In the mid-1970s, the KGB active measures department was upgraded to a "service," a further indication of the importance the Soviet leadership attached to active measures.
		They monitor ongoing active measures around the world; process proposals for new operations; maintain liaison on active measures with KGB regional and country desks and with overseas operations; and provide technical support for operations through preparation of forgeries and fabrications, translation of documents, and printing and publication of materials.

	How Soviet Active Measures Themes Were Spread
		KGB active measures techniques included the use of agents of influence, forgeries, covert media placements, and controlled media to covertly introduce carefully crafted arguments, information, disinformation, and slogans into the discourse in government, media, religious, business, economic, and public arenas in targeted countries.
		It is also revealing to note that in the "white" realm, Soviet officials took an active and direct role in spreading many active measures themes in their public and, undoubtedly, private messages directed at Western audiences.
		By combining the various types of active measures themes with the various "fl," "gray," and "white" channels through which they were spread, one can construct a matrix that portrays the different types of Soviet active measures operations.

		These so-called "active measures" included activities such as propaganda, disinformation, manipulation of news media, the cultivation of foreign opinion leaders and the use of "front" groups by the Soviets or their political clients to promote Moscow's line on particular issues.
		Domestically, the political meaning of the '`active measures" concept- minus the mystifying jargon of intelligence specialists-was enunciated in a hearing of the Denton committee just a month before a presentation in the summer of 1982 by FBI and CIA officials to the House Intelligence Panel.
		While a range of groups which mobilized around Central America issues became the targets of the most extensive terrorism investigations conducted under the "active measures" designation, it was the overnight mushrooming of the Nuclear Freeze movement that first prompted the Administration's most public denunciation of a political movement as an "active measures" threat.

		On that date, the number of U.S. active measures dropped from 326 to 267, a substantial reduction from the day before and a decline of 14 from the 281 measures in effect five years earlier on December 31, 1994.

		Consequently, the measures co-financed by the ESF are aimed at creating new jobs, securing existing jobs, reducing unemployment, maintaining employability, increasing the human capital of the labour force and promoting equal opportunities for men and women as well as entrepreneurship.
		Measured in terms of the civilian labour force as a whole, the respective unemployment rates for women and men were roughly the same in western Germany (8.9 vs. 8.7%).
		The provision in Social Code Part III that women are to participate in active measures proportionally to their share in unemployment, was fully complied with in the case of most of the major instruments.

	IfP, Homepage Schmid, Blancke: Capacity of Federal States for Political Innovation - Text
		Active labour market policy in Germany is based on a compulsory state insurance system to which contributions are made equally by employers and employees.
		Even though in theory under the AFG there was the legal possibility (but not obligation) to provide active measures for this (growing) part of the population as well, in reality this is hardly ever done, since the BA suffers from consistent budget deficits and is more interested in giving support to its own clientele.
		Since active and passive measures are financed out of the insurance budget, the central regulation of contribution rates fall within the terms of the "equivalence of living conditions" and "creating and safeguarding of the unity of law and economy" (BMA 1996).

		Legitimation and lobbying function: Tripartism is assumed to increase public support for active measures because it is indicative of a broad consensus and represents a long-term and formalized commitment on the part of the powerful societal actors.
		It compares average active expenditure as a percentage of GDP in 1994 for the four categories of policy regimes reported in table 3 classified according to whether a country has tripartite employment service institutions and the strength of corporatism.
		Employers argued that the effectiveness of active measures was declining and that it was important to reduce the Federal budget deficit and unemployment insurance contributions of enterprises in order to improve the environment for economic growth and the expansion of employment (BA Geschäftsbericht 1996).

	DETE - LFD-Labour Force Development - 4 - LABOURMARKET POLICY
		Within the labour market itself, state intervention revolves around two measures, namely that of passive measures which provide financial protection for the unemployed, and active measures, such as training and temporary employment programmes designed to improve the skills and competitiveness of the unemployed and support the search process.
		In short, although spending and the numbers involved in active labour market measures grew rapidly during this period, active labour market policy was characterised by a distinct lack of co-ordination and strategic planning.
		Jackman (1994) attempts to assess the role of active labour market policies in addressing the problems of an increased rate of structural change, and the resulting decline in employment opportunities for unskilled manual workers, and the corrosive effects of long spells of unemployment.

		This has naturally led to a decline in expenditure on passive measures, however, ALMP's are far less responsive to changes in the unemployment rate and have not changed to the same degree.
