Especially deserving of thanks is my adviser, Professor Richard U. Sherman, Jr., for suggesting the topic and pro­ viding guidance and encouragement throughout the study. Professor Richard A. Tybout was a consistent provider of valuable insights and constructive suggestions. His patient and willing helpfulness are deeply appreciated. Professor David M. Harrison graciously provided valuable assistance and Professor Walther P. Michael read the first four chapters and offered numerous helpful comments. Financial support was granted by the Mershon Social Science Pro­ gram of The Ohio State University, and to the memory of former director} Professor Edgar S. Furniss, Jr., I owe a debt of gratitude. Mrs. Georgialee Furniss gave extremely capable editorial assistance and constant encouragement. The entire Mershon staff was congenial and helpful. Finally, my wife deserves gratitude for unfailing support. If the final product has merit, then it is because all these individuals contributed. For the inadequacies that remain, I alone am responsible. ii VITA October 11, 1939 Born - Salt Lake City, Utah 1964 ......... B. A., University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 1964-1965 ............

  • Stefan Appelius Als Pazifistin in Bonn: Alma Kettigs Weg in Der Sozialdemokratischen Bundestagsfraktion
    Stefan Appelius Als Pazifistin in Bonn: Alma Kettigs Weg in der Sozialdemokratischen Bundestagsfraktion 1. Die Kontroverse um die Wiederaufrüstung Theo Pirker beschreibt das politische Klima in der Bundesrepublik mit Blick auf den Bundestagswahlkampf im Jahre 1953 sehr zutreffend mit der Feststellung, der Antikommunismus habe in der breiten Masse der Bevöl- kerung Westdeutschlands in jenen Jahren die Position des Antisemitismus eingenommen, in Form eines tiefen, weltanschaulich verhärteten und durch Propaganda stets aufs neue aktualisierbaren Vorurteils.1 Der Wahltag am 6. September 1953 brachte der SPD mit lediglich 28,8 % der Stimmen eine vernichtende Niederlage ein und der jungen Wittener Sozialdemokratin Alma Kettig den Einzug in den Bundestag. Alma Kettig hatte nur widerwillig und rein formal auf einem hinteren Platz der nord- rheinwestfälischen SPD-Landesliste kandidiert. Durch den Verlust sicher geglaubter Direktmandate "zog" die SPD-Landesliste in NRW erheblich besser als zunächst berechnet und bescherte so in den frühen Morgen- stunden des 7. September 1953 einer völlig überraschten Frau die Nach- richt, ihre parlamentarische Laufbahn habe soeben begonnen: "In Witten gab es fast einen kleinen Aufstand. Viele hatten ja gar nicht mitbekommen, daß ich kandidierte. Ich hatte gerade ein kleines Appartement gemietet, meine erste eigene Wohnung! Dafür hatte ich lange gespart. 20 Jahre lang hatte ich möbliert gewohnt. Als ich gerade Fenster putzte, wurde ich ans Telefon gerufen. 'Sitzt du oder stehst du?' fragten mich die Genossen aus dem Bezirksbüro. 'Wir möchten dir gratulieren'. Ich dachte, sie gratulieren mir zur Wohnung. 'Nein', sagten sie, 'zu ganz etwas anderem; du bist Bundestagsabgeordnete!' Ich konnte das zunächst gar nicht glauben. 'Allmächtiger Strohsack', dachte ich, 'was denn nun?'"2 1 Theo Pirker, 1965, S.181.

  • Central Europe
    Central Europe West Germany * FOREIGN POLICY AND STATUS OF BERLIN T.HE LESSENING of East-West tensions was reflected in Germany during thJLe Hperiod under review (July 1, 1962, to December 31, 1963). Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder favored a flexible policy similar to President John F. Kennedy's, and this was increasingly accepted by gov- ernment and public. The West, however, gave up no rights in West Berlin —a fact strongly emphasized by President Kennedy in Berlin in June 1963. Since the Russians did not press their proposals for a "peace treaty" and a "Free City of West Berlin," the status quo was more or less maintained. Until Chancellor Konrad Adenauer actually resigned on October 15, 1963, his impending retirement resulted in uncertainty and lack of direction in foreign affairs. While his prospective successor Ludwig Erhard was an advocate of close relations with the United States and Britain, Adenauer had based his policy on strong ties to France. He visited General Charles de Gaulle in July 1962 and de Gaulle, in turn, made a trip to Bonn, Hamburg, Munich, and Ludwigsburg in October 1962, and was greeted with enthusiasm. De Gaulle reiterated his conviction that German-French unity was basic to the strength and survival of Europe. In January 1963 France and Germany signed a treaty providing for close cooperation in economic, cultural, and other matters. The treaty was ratified by the Bundestag (Federal parliament) in April, its preamble stating that it was not in conflict with other German international (e.g., NATO) obligations. Bonn and Washington exchanged visitors on several occasions.

  • The Ontological Security of Special Relationships: the Case of Germany’S
    The Ontological Security of Special Relationships: The Case of Germany’s Relations with Israel Kai Oppermann and Mischa Hansel Introduction The objective of this article is to contribute to two fields of scholarship and debate. Conceptually, it advances the literature on ‘special relationships’ in International Relations.1 Empirically, it furthers our understanding of the German-Israeli relationship which stands out as one of the most remarkable cases of special relationships in international politics.2 To that twofold purpose, the article suggests studying special relationships in general and the relations between Germany and Israel in particular from an ontological security perspective.3 1 Sebastian Harnisch, ‘Special Relationships in Foreign Policy’, in Cameron Thies (ed.), The Oxford Encyclopedia of Foreign Policy Analysis, Volume 2 (New York: Oxford University Press, 2018), pp. 710-22. 2 Lily Gardner Feldman, Germany’s Foreign Policy of Reconciliation: From Enmity to Amity (Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2012). 3 Jennifer Mitzen, ‘Ontological Security in World Politics: State Identity and the Security Dilemma’, European Journal of International Relations, 12:3 (2006a), pp. 341-70; Brent J. Steele, Ontological The article starts out from the assumption that states are motivated by ontological security seeking and it regards special relationships as a means of states to fulfil their ontological security needs. Such a theoretical angle promises to address three important gaps in our understanding of special relationships. These relate

  • Jeder Treu Auf Seinem Posten: German Catholics
    JEDER TREU AUF SEINEM POSTEN: GERMAN CATHOLICS AND KULTURKAMPF PROTESTS by Jennifer Marie Wunn (Under the Direction of Laura Mason) ABSTRACT The Kulturkampf which erupted in the wake of Germany’s unification touched Catholics’ lives in multiple ways. Far more than just a power struggle between the Catholic Church and the new German state, the conflict became a true “struggle for culture” that reached into remote villages, affecting Catholic men, women, and children, regardless of their age, gender, or social standing, as the state arrested clerics and liberal, Protestant polemicists castigated Catholics as ignorant, anti-modern, effeminate minions of the clerical hierarchy. In response to this assault on their faith, most Catholics defended their Church and clerics; however, Catholic reactions to anti- clerical legislation were neither uniform nor clerically-controlled. Instead, Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism took many different forms, highlighting both individual Catholics’ personal agency in deciding if, when, and how to take part in the struggle as well as the diverse factors that motivated, shaped, and constrained their activism. Catholics resisted anti-clerical legislation in ways that reflected their personal lived experience; attending to the distinctions between men’s and women’s activism or those between older and younger Catholics’ participation highlights individuals’ different social and communal roles and the diverse ways in which they experienced and negotiated the dramatic transformations the new nation underwent in its first decade of existence. Investigating the patterns and distinctions in Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism illustrates how Catholics understood the Church-State conflict, making clear what various groups within the Catholic community felt was at stake in the struggle, as well as how external factors such as the hegemonic contemporary discourses surrounding gender roles, class status, age and social roles, the division of public and private, and the feminization of religion influenced their activism.

Vor Eintritt in die Tagesordnung spricht Fritz Lucie Kurlbaum-Beyer und Georg Kur- lbaum Glückwünsche zu ihrer Verehelichung aus.1 Fritz begrüßt die neuen Fraktions- mitglieder2 und richtet ein besonders Wort des Dankes an die ausscheidenden Abge- ordneten. Stellvertretend für alle anderen nennt er dabei die Namen von Heinrich Rit- zel, Fritz Baade, Max Brauer, Clara Döhring, Paul Bleiß, Gerhard Kreyssig, Ernst Wil- helm Meyer und Oskar Matzner.3 Zu 1. der TO: Willy , der mit starkem Beifall begrüßt wird, betont in seinem politischen Lagebericht, daß das Godesberger Programm und die darauf aufbauenden Beschlüsse auch weiterhin Grundlage sozialdemokratischer Politik sein werden. Ebenso bleibe gültig, was auf dem Parteitag in Karlsruhe4 erarbeitet worden sei. Aufgabe der SPD-Fraktion werde es sein, die Regierungskoalition ständig mit dem Katalog ihrer Wahlversprechen zu konfrontie- ren. Die SPD werde weder das Feigenblatt dieser Koalition noch Lückenbüßer für fehlende Mehrheiten sein. Verfassungsänderungen werde es nur geben können, wenn dabei die Vorstellungen der SPD berücksichtigt werden.5 Für eine Gemeinsamkeit in der Außen- und Deutschlandpolitik sei mehr nötig als nur Information. Es bedürfe dazu gemeinsamer Beratung und Willensbildung.
