    Editorial Amerikanische Revolution Nichts war gewöhnlich an diesem Wahlkampf. Und wenig wird gewöhnlich sein an der Präsidentschaft Donald J. Trumps. Ein Außenseiter, belächelt und zu Beginn wenig ernst genommen, gewinnt nicht trotz, sondern wegen des Bruchs aller bisheriger Regeln. Was für andere Kandidaten hoch toxisch gewesen wäre – offene Frauenfeindlichkeit, Kuscheln mit der rassistischen Alt-Right-Bewegung, trotziges Lügen – erwies sich für „The Donald“ als Er- folgsrezept. Er gewinnt die Stimmen der Globalisierungsverlierer, weil er ih- nen verspricht, die Jobs „aus Mexiko und China zurückzuholen“. Aber in sein Kabinett holt er Milliardäre, Steuern will er für die Reichen senken, und der Protektionismus, mit dem er Amerika „wieder groß“ machen will, dürfte in erster Linie seinen Wählern Jobs kosten. Zum ersten Mal seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg stellt der neu gewählte Präsi- dent das transatlantische Bündnis und die von den USA selbst so erfolgreich errichtete internationale Architektur infrage. Europa, so sehr daran gewöhnt, die amerikanische Schutzmacht im Rücken zu wissen, wird wohl alles daran setzen müssen, den neuen Präsidenten vom Wert des Bündnisses zu überzeu- gen. Ob dies gelingt, sei dahingestellt. Denn diese Wahl war eine amerikani- sche Revolution – eine Revolution, die die liberale Ordnung des Westens viel- leicht nicht sofort zerstören, aber durch gezielte Vernachlässigung erodieren lassen könnte. Und damit eine Ordnung, die maßgeblich die Sicherheit und den Wohlstand (nicht nur) der westlichen Welt hervorgebracht hat. Nichts war gewöhnlich an dieser Wahl. Und dazu gehört auch die von sämt- lichen US-Geheimdiensten bestätigte Tatsache einer massiven Beeinflussung durch russische Hacker. Der hybride Krieg ist längst in den westlichen Gesell- schaften angekommen. Gezielte, hauptsächlich über soziale Medien gestreute Desinformation, die allein der Verwirrung und Verunsicherung dient, wird in diesem Jahr der Wahlkämpfe auch in Frankreich, den Niederlanden und Deutschland eine Rolle spielen.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

  • Bedingt Abwehrbereit
    Editorial Bedingt abwehrbereit Es ist ja nicht so, als würde Militärstrategisches in Deutschland gar nicht diskutiert. Wenn der Bundeswehr die einsatzfähigen U-Boote, Kampfjets und Panzer – von der Unterwäsche gar nicht zu reden – knapp werden, wird auf- geregt, ja oft empört berichtet. Auch wenn es um sicherheitspolitische Pseu- dothemen geht wie die Rückkehr der Wehrpflicht oder eine deutsche Atom- bombe, werden leidenschaftlich Für und Wider debattiert. Worüber aber Schweigen herrscht, ist ganz Grundsätzliches: was nämlich Deutschland heute und in Zukunft militärisch leisten können soll – und mit welchem Budget die Bundeswehr dazu ausgestattet wird. „Bis heute herrscht kein auch nur annähernd gemeinsames Verständnis da- rüber, was ‚neue Verantwortung‘ konkret für die deutschen sicherheitspoliti- schen Ambitionen bedeuten soll“, schreibt Jana Puglierin, Leiterin des Alfred von Oppenheim-Zentrums der DGAP, in dieser Ausgabe, „und zwar weder unter den Politikern und ihren Parteien noch zwischen den Ministerien, und schon gar nicht in der breiteren Öffentlichkeit.“ Das hat ernste Folgen. Denn das Nicht-Befassen-Wollen führt zu einer gravierenden Unterfinanzierung der deutschen Streitkräfte. „Der Weg zur Wie- derherstellung der vollen Einsatzbereitschaft der Bundeswehr ist mittlerwei- le recht gut abgesteckt“, schreibt Bastian Giegerich vom International Insti- tute for Strategic Studies (IISS). „Er ist lang und teuer. Und er ist notwendig.“ Hinzu kommt: Deutschlands Verbündeten in der NATO und der EU fällt schon länger auf, dass bei der Bundeswehr Anspruch und – finanzielle – Wirk- lichkeit weit auseinanderklaffen. Es droht ein Ansehens- und Vertrauensver- lust, der für die Sicherheit Deutschlands und Europas fatale Konsequenzen hät- te. Ausländische Beobachter wie der Brite Julian Lindley-French haben recht, wenn sie den Deutschen raten: „Wer den Frieden will, sollte über den Krieg zumindest nachdenken.“ Kurzum: Eine strategische Debatte darüber, wie Deutschlands Armee den neuen sicherheitspolitischen Realitäten begegnen soll, ist überfällig.

Verification of credentials: see Minutes 3. Draft general budget 2009 as modified by the Council (all sections) (debate) President. – The next item is the report (A6-0486/2008) by Mrs Haug and Mr Lewandowski, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, on the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2009 as modified by the Council (all sections) (16257/2008 – C6 0457/2008 – 2008/2026(BUD)). Jutta Haug, rapporteur. – (DE) Madam President, Commissioner, it seems the President-in-Office of the Council is not quite here yet. In any event, the second reading of the European budget is on tomorrow’s agenda. In all probability, the vote will not take much time. The fact that few things remain to be put to the vote and even fewer are in dispute is thanks to the constructive cooperation among all the Members involved – both in the specialist committees and in the Committee on Budgets – for which I should like to express my sincere thanks. I am all the more pleased since I know that this cannot be taken for granted. This also goes for the groundwork done by the entire team on the Committee on Budgets, the work of all the group staff and the support of the personal assistants, so thank you! I should also like to extend my thanks to the Commission for its willingness to cooperate.
