As part of the overall regional development plan’s forward projection, Schwabach is planned as a regional centre together with the cities Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen (so-called multi-centres). The city is integrated into the European met- ropolitan region network. Schwabach is located on the most important west-east and north-south transport routes, which were important for business dealings and decisions in earlier times. The central location also plays an important part today with its superb transport links.

  • The Kpd and the Nsdap: a Sttjdy of the Relationship Between Political Extremes in Weimar Germany, 1923-1933 by Davis William
    THE KPD AND THE NSDAP: A STTJDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLITICAL EXTREMES IN WEIMAR GERMANY, 1923-1933 BY DAVIS WILLIAM DAYCOCK A thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. The London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London 1980 1 ABSTRACT The German Communist Party's response to the rise of the Nazis was conditioned by its complicated political environment which included the influence of Soviet foreign policy requirements, the party's Marxist-Leninist outlook, its organizational structure and the democratic society of Weimar. Relying on the Communist press and theoretical journals, documentary collections drawn from several German archives, as well as interview material, and Nazi, Communist opposition and Social Democratic sources, this study traces the development of the KPD's tactical orientation towards the Nazis for the period 1923-1933. In so doing it complements the existing literature both by its extension of the chronological scope of enquiry and by its attention to the tactical requirements of the relationship as viewed from the perspective of the KPD. It concludes that for the whole of the period, KPD tactics were ambiguous and reflected the tensions between the various competing factors which shaped the party's policies. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE abbreviations 4 INTRODUCTION 7 CHAPTER I THE CONSTRAINTS ON CONFLICT 24 CHAPTER II 1923: THE FORMATIVE YEAR 67 CHAPTER III VARIATIONS ON THE SCHLAGETER THEME: THE CONTINUITIES IN COMMUNIST POLICY 1924-1928 124 CHAPTER IV COMMUNIST TACTICS AND THE NAZI ADVANCE, 1928-1932: THE RESPONSE TO NEW THREATS 166 CHAPTER V COMMUNIST TACTICS, 1928-1932: THE RESPONSE TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES 223 CHAPTER VI FLUCTUATIONS IN COMMUNIST TACTICS DURING 1932: DOUBTS IN THE ELEVENTH HOUR 273 CONCLUSIONS 307 APPENDIX I VOTING ALIGNMENTS IN THE REICHSTAG 1924-1932 333 APPENDIX II INTERVIEWS 335 BIBLIOGRAPHY 341 4 ABBREVIATIONS 1.

  • Security Communities and the Habitus of Restraint: Germany and the United States on Iraq
    Review of International Studies (2007), 33, 285–305 Copyright British International Studies Association doi:10.1017/S0260210507007516 Security communities and the habitus of restraint: Germany and the United States on Iraq CORNELIU BJOLA AND MARKUS KORNPROBST* Abstract. Borrowing from Norbert Elias, we introduce the habitus of restraint to the study of security communities. This habitus constitutes a key dimension of the glue that holds security communities together. The perceived compatibility of practices emanating from the habitus that members hold fosters the collective identity upon which a security community is built. The violation of a member’s habitus by the practices of another member, however, disrupts the reproduction of collective identity and triggers a crisis of the security community. Our analysis of Germany’s reaction to Washington’s case for war against Iraq provides empirical evidence for the salience of the habitus for the internal dynamics of security communities. Introduction At first glance, it is surprising that Saddam Hussein triggered the deepest post-World War II rift in the usually amicable relationship between the United States and Germany. The two countries share many values that should have prevented action taken against a vicious dictator from becoming a contentious issue. Saddam Hussein’s longstanding record of gross human rights abuses and aggression against other states should have been yet another reason to draw the two allies even closer together. This scenario, however, failed to materialise. Not only did the United States and Germany fail to find a common ground on Iraq. They even started to fundamentally question the nature of their relationship.

Dezember 1990 sollten gemäß Begründung der Bundesregierung — die Chancen der Geschädigten, einen finanziellen Ausgleich zu erlangen, nachhaltig verbessert werden, — die Präventivfunktion des Haftungsrechts als marktkonformes Mittel der Umweltvorsorge genutzt werden, um so zu einem weiteren und verstärkten Schutz von Boden, Wasser und Luft zu gelangen, — bestehende Regelungslücken geschlossen werden, so daß das zivile Haftungsrecht seinen Beitrag zu einem effektiveren Umweltschutz leisten kann. Drei Jahre nach Inkrafttreten des Gesetzes ist eine Bilanz zu ziehen, welche Auswirkungen das Umwelthaftungsgesetz für die Wirtschaft, die Versicherungswirtschaft, für die Geschädigten und die Umwelt inzwischen hat, um auf dieser Grundlage eine Weiter- entwicklung des Umwelthaftungsrechts auch im Hinblick auf den EG-Binnenmarkt zu diskutieren.

DIW Berlin German Institute for Economic Research Königin-Luise-Str. 5 14195 Berlin Phone (030) 897 89-0 Fax (030) 897 89-200 www.diw.de ISSN 1619-4551 Economic Research and Policy Advice – Also a Note on Immanuel Kant’s “Actus der Urteilskraft” Gert G. Wagner and Wolfgang Wiegard The Current Situation The science of economics has recently come under fire. In Germany this is true both for economic education and research at the universities and for the work of think tanks in the field of economics. The broad public appears to regard economic reasoning with growing skepticism. The following assessment, taken from the economic section of a large German daily, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) on December 12, 1999 is altogether typical: “Most economists are not only boring; they also disappoint all of those who turn to them for advice. Anyone who hopes they will provide answers to important economic ques- tions generally reaps only equations, diagrams and incomprehensible jargon. The need for clear answers or suggestions remains unsatisfied [translated by the authors].” The number of students majoring in economics, too, has sunk continuously in recent years. This contributed to the conversion of economics professorships into business professorships, and to a precarious future for the economics departments at a number of universities; in isolated cases such as the University of Saarland, it has been eliminated completely.
