Why Germany Must Save the Euro: Rana Foroohar argues that while the Germans may complain about their profligate EU partners and balk at underwriting more bailouts, they need to save the euro. 1. What is Germany’s role in the euro-zone crisis? Refer to p26. Answer: It has become the underwriter of bailouts. Wealthy Germany, the only country in the rich world to enjoy higher economic growth and lower unemployment after the global financial crisis than it did before, has paid for $73 billion worth of bailouts. It has either implicitly or explicitly backed hundreds of billions more of debt restructuring and stimulus efforts by the European Central Bank. As it does not see itself as responsible for endlessly supporting fiscally imprudent neighbours, it has turned advisor and is insisting on austerity measures for the ailing economies. Its economic clout means that debt-ridden states will do its bidding and have cut their budgets. 2. What do (a) Germany’s Mittelstand firms and (b) the writer think of Germany’s insistence on austerity and why? Refer to p26. Answer: (a) Mittelstand firms (small and midsize family-owned export companies that are said to be the embodiment of social and moral values like thrift, conservatism, family orientation and long-term thinking): Their corporate values and experience* convince them that austerity is the way to go for the ailing European economies. (b) The writer: Austerity isn’t helping. When both public and private sections are cutting costs, deficit problems get worse, not better. The economies that use the euro as their currency have shrunk and will likely shrink again this year. Unemployment in the euro zone, especially young unemployment, is high. It is being exacerbated by the lack of retraining or a better social safety net in the countries that have cut budgets in an austerity drive. Social blowback – inadequate funding for programmes such as school meals, growing popularity of right-wing parties and frequent street protests and riots. *Refer to pp28-29 for Agenda 2010, successful public-private partnerships that enabled Germany to meet reform targets, and accounts of Mittelstand firms weathering years of debt crisis and recession. 3. Germany’s insistence on austerity has contributed to the country’s growing unpopularity across Europe. However, the Germans continue to argue that European nations “need to buckle down and reduce wages and benefits, slash budgets and shrink debts.” According to the writer, why is this recommendation flawed? Refer to p27. Answer: Germany had grown rich (in the 1990s) while practising austerity because other European nations had spent freely to counter the effects of it doing so. Its suppression of wages to bolster its export economy and spur growth had terrible ramifications for the rest of the euro zone. So has its low interest rate monetary policy. While it is true that free-spending European nations have to manage their public finances much better, Germany’s mercantilist economic strategy has played a part in the European debt crisis and it must now adopt an approach that will allow the current account balances between nations to equal out. This means that if the other countries cut budgets and spend less, Germany must spend more (boosting domestic consumption with major wage hikes, lowering consumption taxes or using a fiscal stimulus to boost spending, ideally on products produced by other European nations) *Germany is enjoying currency advantages of the euro but does not offer unequivocal support because it wants to avoid exposing itself to the risks or costs of further integration. 4. Even amongst the Mittelstand firms, there are those who believe that Germany should do whatever it takes to bail out the euro. Explain why Jürgen Müller, Daimler’s chief economist, supports this conclusion. Refer to p28. Answer: The euro has contributed hugely to Germany’s global competitiveness. Müller has seen Daimler’s revenues being hit by lower export sales (back to 1990s levels). He believes that major political decision-makers have focused too exclusively on austerity. He explains, “a diet can’t make you build muscles. The easiest way to fix your budgets is with growth, not just cuts.” He and the others believe Germans must increase their domestic consumption to help spur region-wide growth. *They do not support a return to the deutsche mark (as suggested on p27) as it will greatly affect the country’s economic growth. 5. On p30, the writer again expresses her preference for Germany to underwrite whatever debt restructuring and payments necessary to keep the euro zone together and shift its economic model to help economic rebalancing.

Answer: Merkel has to keep a deft balance between being a prudent German and generous European. In particular, prudence means that Germany should not increase its debt underwriting and change its economic model. The coming general election means that a new coalition government will be elected and it is unclear whether there will be support for drastic changes even if Merkel believes that they should be made. Moreover, it is not possible to make the required financial commitments without a new European constitution that allows Brussels (the seat of the EU) the power to run the economic affairs of member nations. 6. The writer points to “a few glimmers of hope” on p31. What gives her “hope” and why does she use “glimmers” to describe them? Answer: Hope – Germany is beginning to look beyond austerity at other measures: a new plan to fund the efforts of countries to replicate Germany’s vocational training programme and use it to help reduce high youth unemployment (it is acknowledging the need for investment and not just budget cuts) and some increase in wages. Glimmers – the wage increase is not enough to make up for previous decade of slow growth; urgent policy reforms are unlikely to happen anytime soon. The Tashkeel Diaries: Chris Ballard tells the story of how Tom Gouttierre transformed Afghan youth under his charge into basketball players who understood the value of tashkeel. In the process, he came to know and love Afghanistan and its people. 7. “In the end, it’s a story about one man’s enduring influence on a country, and its influence on him. And what basketball can achieve, and what it cannot.” (p34) In addition to these broad observations, what other insights and takeaways can you derive from the article? Answers: The Gouttierres joining the Peace Corps and going to Afghanistan – when we have identified our dream/goal in life, we should act on it even if it is arduous/takes us into unfamiliar terrain. There is much we can learn in the process. Gouttierre teaching basketball and seeking advice from John Wooden – we need not be very good at something to volunteer our services. We can observe and learn as we go ago and seek advice from experts (who can be very generous with their assistance). The Afghan boys’ initial rejection of tashkeel – distrust and ethnic and social differences cannot be easily transcended. These prejudices can impede people from interacting with one another. They can blind people to talent and make them fail to acknowledge the best person for a job. The Afghan boys’ acceptance of tashkeel – through persistent effort and by creating situations where people have to collaborate, it is possible (for those who are not deeply prejudiced) to discard their preconceived notions and realise that the whole to become so much greater than the parts. Gouttierre learning Dari and immersing himself in Afghan culture and society – when we know the language well and interact with the people, we see a country/society for what it is. We can then help to fill knowledge gaps or benefit intangible ways (an illustrious career for Gouttierre). The Afghanistan-China game – sports between nations is so much more than a game. National pride and political and diplomatic repercussions cannot be ignored. The Afghans’ victory – underdogs can triumph if they are well-prepared and use strategic thinking to maximise their strengths and attack their opponents’ weaknesses. Esmael starting a team in both Afghanistan and the U.S – sports can be used as a rallying point, especially for the diaspora/displaced people who easily lose touch with their people and national identity. Rahi’s dismal – without political stability and safety, people do not have the chance to develop their talents. *Note to Teachers: Afghanistan’s descent into political chaos – students will need to read up on the country and its wars to understanding why and how that it was caught between superpowers and mired in sectarian strife.

  • My Name Is Samuel Provance and I Grew up Williamsburg, Virginia
    p~ãìÉä=gK=mêçî~åÅÉ= mêÉé~êÉÇ=pí~íÉãÉåí= My name is Samuel Provance and I come from Greenville, SC. I enlisted in the United States Army in NVVU and sought a specialization in intelligence in OMMO. I was drawn to the Army by the professional training and good life it promised, but also because it provided me an opportunity to serve my country. The Army has stood for duty, honor and country. In wearing my country’s service uniform and risking my life for my country’s protection, it never occurred to me that I might be required to be a part of things that conflict with these values of duty, honor and country. But my experience in Iraq and later in Germany left me troubled by what has happened to the Army. I saw the traditional values of military service as I understood them compromised or undermined. I am still proud to be a soldier and to wear the uniform of the United States Army. But I am concerned about what the Army is becoming. While serving with my unit in Iraq, I became aware of changes in the procedures in which I and my fellow soldiers were trained. These changes involved using procedures which we previously did not use, and had been trained not to use, and in involving military police (MP) personnel in “preparation” of detainees who were to be interrogated. Some detainees were treated in an incorrect and immoral fashion as a result of these changes. After what had happened at Abu Ghraib became a matter of public knowledge, and there was a demand for action, young soldiers were scapegoated while superiors misrepresented what had happened and tried to misdirect attention away from what was really going on.

  • Diagnosing and Analyzing Flawed Investigations: Abu Ghraib As a Case Study
    C A R D O Z O L AW R EVIEW de•novo • Featured Item • DIAGNOSING AND ANALYZING FLAWED INVESTIGATIONS: ABU GHRAIB AS A CASE STUDY Keith Rohman* We think of investigation as a road to truth, and truth as the goal of an investigation. Yet time and again, high- visibility investigations of public scandals not only fail to uncover the truth, they seem to redirect the focus in the wrong direction. The Department of Defense‘s (DoD) investigations of the detainee abuse scandal at the Abu Ghraib prison are a recent example of this. With the departure of the Bush Administration, there is renewed interest in examining both the Abu Ghraib scandal and other aspects of the administration‘s interrogation policies. Senator Patrick Leahy, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, has proposed a truth commission along the lines of the South Africa Truth and Reconciliation Commission.1 Others have called for Congressional hearings,2 criminal investigations,3 * Keith Rohman is president of Public Interest Investigations, Inc. and an Adjunct Professor of Law at Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. His practice focuses on human rights and civil rights investigations. He is the lead investigator for plaintiffs‘ attorneys representing torture victims from Abu Ghraib in Saleh v. CACI et al, and related litigation, and has interviewed torture victims, as well as former soldiers and private contractors who worked at the Abu Ghraib prison.

  • Food Riots, Food Rights and the Politics of Provisions
    2Aworldinprotest Sara Burke Introduction During the time period covered by the Food Riots and Food Rights project, 2007-2012, the world registered a dramatic eruption of protests on many issues, includingfood. The protests were largely non-violent, but during these years episodes reported as "riots" and "violent protests" also occurred. These spiked to historic levels in 2008, 2011 and 2012 in response to price hikes for basic commodities necessary to life: fuel, water and especially food. Protests for subsistence have not been well understood, as they were not well covered in international news due to systematic biases in professional media organizations, which tend to ignore nonviolentprotests — or the nonviolent parts of protests — and also fail to distinguish between acts that harm lives and those that harm property, as well as labeling "violent" both riots and protests violently repressed by the state. This chapter aims to show how the historical eruption of protests throughoutthe period can be understood as a response to the stormy political economy 1 of the time. To many critics of the dominant economic paradigm, that time is best understood as the forseeable outcome of neoliberalism, what classical politicaleconomists Gérard Dúmenil and Dominique Lévy's 2011 book The Crisis of Neoliberalism characterizes as a globalized system of "free-market economics, free trade, and the free mobility of capital", literally a "new liberalism" and correspondingsocial order in which fmancialization propels a managerial apparatus that disciplines

  • Food Riots, Food Rights and the Politics of Provisions
    Food Riots, Food Rights and the Politics of Provisions Thousands of people in dozens of countries took to the streets when world food prices spiked in 2008 and 2011. What does the persistence of popular mobiliza- tion around food tell us about the politics of subsistence in an era of integrated food markets and universal human rights? This book interrogates this period of historical rupture in the global system of subsistence, getting behind the head- lines and inside the politics of food for people on low incomes. The half decade of 2007–2012 was a period of intensely volatile food prices as well as unusual levels of popular mobilization, including protests and riots. Detailed case studies are included here from Bangladesh, Cameroon, India, Kenya and Mozambique. The case studies illustrate that political cultures and ways of organizing around food share much across geography and history, indicat- ing common characteristics of the popular politics of provisions under capitalism. However, all politics are ultimately local, and it is demonstrated how the historic fallout of a subsistence crisis depends ultimately on how the actors and institu- tions articulate, negotiate and reassert their specific claims within the peculiari- ties of each policy. A key conclusion of the book is that the politics of provisions remain essen- tial to the right to food and that they involve unruliness. In other words, food riots work. The book explains how and why they continue to do so even in the globalized food system of the 21st century. Food riots signal a state unable to meet a principal condition of its social contract, and create powerful pressure on a state to address that most fundamental of failings.

  • Different Motivators for Whistleblowers and Leakers
    ! DIFFERENT MOTIVATORS FOR WHISTLEBLOWERS AND LEAKERS by Andrew Ghalili A research study submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Global Security Studies Baltimore, Maryland August 2020 "!2020 Andrew Ghalili All Rights Reserved ! ! ABSTRACT What are the motivating factors for U.S. Intelligence Community whistleblowers, and how do they compare to those of leakers? This study seeks to determine the motivators for an individual within U.S. national security, and more specifically within the IC, to whistleblow. Interviews with 12 whistleblowers or leakers were analyzed to determine the factors that motivate whistleblowers and whether they differ from those that motivate leakers. The factors that were coded for include Intention, Education on Whistleblowing, Perceived Personal Cost (PPC), Public Service Motivation (PSM), and Loyalty. The current study adds to the field of whistleblowing research by filling a gap in the existing research, especially as related specifically to U.S. national security. The study finds that whistleblowers express higher levels of PPC, loyalty to institution, and loyalty to law than leakers, while leakers express higher levels of PSM, loyalty to public, and loyalty to self. The implications of these findings on policy within U.S. national security and Intelligence Community organizations are discussed and analyzed, resulting in multiple policy recommendations. This study was read and reviewed by Michael Warner and Anthony Lang. ##! ! ! TABLE OF
