  • Stability of a Unipolar World 7
    The Stability of a William C. Wohlforth Unipolar World The collapse of the Soviet Union produced the greatest change in world power relationships since World War II. With Moscow’s headlong fall from superpower status, the bipo- lar structure that had shaped the security policies of the major powers for nearly half a century vanished, and the United States emerged as the sole surviving superpower. Commentators were quick to recognize that a new “unipolar moment” of unprecedented U.S. power had arrived.1 In 1992 the Pentagon drafted a new grand strategy designed to preserve unipolarity by preventing the emergence of a global rival.2 But the draft plan soon ran into controversy, as commentators at home and abroad argued that any effort to preserve unipolarity was quixotic and dangerous.3 Ofªcials quickly backed away from the idea and now eschew the language of primacy or predomi- nance, speaking instead of the United States as a “leader” or the “indispensable nation.”4 The rise and sudden demise of an ofªcial strategy for preserving primacy lends credence to the widespread belief that unipolarity is dangerous and unstable. While scholars frequently discuss unipolarity, their focus is always on its demise. For neorealists, unipolarity is the least stable of all structures because any great concentration of power threatens other states and causes them to take action to restore a balance.5 Other scholars grant that a large William C. Wohlforth is Assistant Professor of International Relations in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. I am indebted to Stephen G.

  • Germany, Afghanistan, and the Process of Decision Making in German Foreign Policy: Constructing a Framework for Analysis
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: GERMANY, AFGHANISTAN, AND THE PROCESS OF DECISION MAKING IN GERMAN FOREIGN POLICY: CONSTRUCTING A FRAMEWORK FOR ANALYSIS Karin L. Johnston, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor George Quester, Department of Government and Politics Germany’s emerging role as a supplier of security by contributing troops to out-of-area operations is a significant change in post-unification German foreign and security policy, and yet few studies have sought to explain how the process of decision making also has changed in order to accommodate the external and domestic factors that shape policy preferences and outcomes. The dissertation addresses these theoretical gaps in foreign policy analysis and in German foreign and security policy studies by examining the decision-making process in the case of Afghanistan from 2001–2008, emphasizing the importance of institutional structures that enable and constrain decision-makers and then gathering the empirical evidence to construct a framework for analyzing German foreign policy decision making. The dynamics of decision-making at the state level are examined by hypothesizing about the role of the chancellor in the decision-making process— whether there has been an expansion of chancellorial power relative to other actors— and about the role of coalition politics and the relative influence of the junior coalition partner in coalition governments. Results indicate that there are few signs that federal chancellors dominate or otherwise control decision-making outcomes, and that coalition politics remain a strong explanatory factor in the process that shapes the parameters of policy choices. The dissertation highlights the central role of the Bundestag, the German parliament.

  • LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Heading Into the Mainstream? Reviewing a Year of the Afd in the German Parliament Page 1 of 4
    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Heading into the mainstream? Reviewing a year of the AfD in the German parliament Page 1 of 4 Heading into the mainstream? Reviewing a year of the AfD in the German parliament Almost one year has passed since the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) was elected to the Bundestag in the 2017 German federal elections. Julian Göpffarth looks back on what has happened since, and how events have shaped both the AfD and German society. Media coverage in Germany has been dominated in recent days by far-right violence in the city of Chemnitz. Embedded in large crowds of anti-refugee and anti-immigration protests, the pictures offered shocking images of neo-Nazis reminiscent of the violent outbreaks in Rostock, Solingen and Hoyerswerda almost 30 years ago. The self-confidence visible in many of the protagonists, the support of large sections of the local population, and the entanglement of the protests with local institutions in Chemnitz, reflects the increased reach and normalisation of far-right positions in parts of the German population. An important milestone for the institutionalisation and spread of far-right positions was the AfD’s election to the Bundestag with 12.6 per cent of the vote on 24 September last year. While Chemnitz has yet again shifted the attention to the far-right’s strength in economically weak areas in East Germany, the AfD’s success in 2017 and its stable position in polls all over Germany suggests that far-right ideas chime with a substantial number of German citizens.

  • Die Finanzkrise, Die Ökonomen, Der „Crashprophet“ Und Die Wissenschaft Von Der Ökonomie
    DOI: 10.1524/jbwg.2011.0009 Heading: Kölner Vorträge Die Finanzkrise, die Ökonomen, der „Crashprophet“ und die Wissenschaft von der Ökonomie Von Max Otte (Worms)1 I. Die Finanzkrise und die Ökonomen Am 15. September 2008 meldete die U.S.-amerikanische Investmentbank Lehman Brothers Insolvenz an. Es folgte die schwerste Finanzkrise seit 1929 – eine Liquiditäts- und vor allem Solvenzkrise der großen kapitalmarktorientierten Banken, vor allem in den westlichen Industrienationen. Das Misstrauen der Banken untereinander verursachte ein Einfrieren der Kreditmärkte und gravierende realwirtschaftliche Konsequenzen. In Folge mussten viele Banken durch massive Eigenkapitalhilfen gestützt werden, einige wurden abgewickelt, zerschlagen oder reorganisiert; die Notenbanken gaben Liquidität un- gekannten Ausmaßes in den Markt, und viele Industrienationen stützten ab Herbst 2008 die Konjunktur mit massiven Konjunkturprogrammen. Insgesamt beliefen sich die Kosten bis Ende 2009 auf ungefähr 10,5 Billionen Dollar oder 20 Prozent des Weltsozialprodukts. Rund 1,6 Millionen Dollar mussten bei den Banken abgeschrieben werden, 4,65 Billionen betrug der Wertverlust von Immobilien und 4,2 Billionen Dollar (oder knapp fünf Prozent des Weltsozialproduktes) gingen auf verringertes Wirtschaftswachstum zurück.2 Als Folge stiegen die Haushaltsdefizite massiv, so dass im Frühjahr 2010 eine Staatsschul- denkrise vor allem in den südeuropäischen Ländern sowie spekulative Attacken auf den Euro folgten. Dabei sahen die Haushalte der primären Verursachernationen USA und Groß- 1 Der Verfasser dankt Toni Pierenkemper für die Einladung zu den Kölner Vorträgen zur Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte.
