Therefore, it is crucial for Asia Pacific to engage in timely and coordinated development of climate services in all nations (Kim et al.

  • German-Russian Natural Gas Relations in the Context of a Common European Energy Policy
    Graduate School of Social Sciences (GSSS) German-Russian natural gas relations in the context of a common European energy policy Thesis to obtain the academic title of Master of Science (MS) in the program Political Science (International Relations) Academic year 2018/2019 Date of submission: June 21st 2019 Author: Caspar M. Henke (12299804) Supervisor: Dr. Mehdi P. Amineh Second Reader: Dr. Henk W. Houweling Research Project: The Political Economy of Energy Abstract This thesis analyses the interwoven commercial and political fabric of German-Russian natural gas relations. A theoretical lens that combines liberalist interdependence theory and the critical theoretical concepts of the state-society complex and social networks against the background of selected energy security dimensions will be employed. It will be argued that in order to assess the prospects for a common European Union energy policy, it is crucial to understand the importance of social forces and external relations shaping the energy policy of EU member states vis-á-vis the Russian Federation. It will be highlighted how the different perceptions of Russian natural gas as a political tool and a commercial commodity have resulted in different actors taking the lead in the natural gas strategies of the European Commission, the Central and Eastern European member states, and Germany. Portraying the Russian state-society complex of natural gas, it will be concluded that the German commercial-led approach is not compatible with a European Union energy policy that responds to the geopolitical threats of Russian gas perceived by other member states. Key words: Natural Gas, Russia, Germany, European Union, State-society complex 2 AcKnowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr.

I understand cultural memory as dynamic, multifaceted, and as a widely contestational interplay of past and present in socio-cultural contexts. The making of cultural memory involves various participants and allows us to examine the nexus between individual remembering and culturally mediated memory. Culturally mediated memory appears as a process of the representation and manifestation of the past in the present. By studying the mediality of ‘present pasts,’ we gain an understanding of how the past is remembered and how it is mediated via cultural objects in the present.

Now that there are red-red-green majorities in Saarland tion? and Thuringia (Saarland is the first state in the western part of Germany with such a major - How has the SPD gone ity), efforts to form coalitions with Die Linke might well lose their opprobrium gradually. From from being a leading now on, coalition-building in Germany will be more uncertain than ever in the history of the party to trailing in the Federal Republic of Germany. On the one hand, pressure will mount within the SPD to pave polls? the way for a new left majority that includes Die Linke on the federal level. On the other hand, Chancellor Angela Merkel and the CDU/CSU, as well as the FDP, will do everything to make the prevention of such a development the central theme for the remainder of the electoral campaign. The specter of a red-red-green coalition in Berlin will now dominate the political discourse until Election Day. Whether this strategy will work is an open question.

  • "Grand Coalition" Government
    Order Code RL33252 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Germany’s “Grand Coalition” Government: Prospects and Implications January 17, 2006 name redacted Specialist in International Relations Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Germany’s “Grand Coalition” Government: Prospects and Implications Summary A “grand coalition” government of Germany’s two largest parties, the Christian Democrat Union/Christian Socialist Union (CDU/CSU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) led by CDU candidate Angela Merkel took office on November 22, 2005, after the German federal election of September 18, 2005, had produced no clear winner. Some experts believe that the coalition will be fragile, short lived, and will accomplish little with each side trying to gain political advantage over the other. Such negative expectations are not shared by other analysts who believe that only such a large coalition can implement potentially painful but needed economic and social reforms, assuming that it can overcome partisan politics. The most difficult and crucial areas on which the coalition must cooperate if the government is to succeed involve social and economic policy. Government success will be important, not just for Germany, but also for Europe and global economic health. Experts believe that Angela Merkel, as Chancellor, wants to speed domestic social and economic reforms. It is not clear whether she will have broader domestic support to do so, especially among the SPD base. Many observers expect more continuity than change in German foreign policy under the “grand coalition” government. On most issues, the CDU/CSU and the SPD are not far apart.

  • Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (Tamex): Political Tension and Disaster Mitigation
    TAIWAN AREA MESOSCALE EXPERIMENT (TAMEX): POLITICAL TENSION AND DISASTER MITIGATION by Yin Hang Phoebe Tang A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland August, 2017 Abstract Every May mei-­‐yu. and June, Taiwan undergoes mei-­‐yu a period of potentially disastrous heavy rain called The rain system induced by on May 28, 1981 caused significant damages to Taiwan, prompting government officials to initiate the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX). TAMEX was carried out by Taiwanese and American meteorologists from 1983 to 1992. They collaborated and took measurements of the atmosphere over and near Taiwan. Japanese meteorologists also participated by providing data. The meteorologists aimed to improve heavy rain forecast accuracy mei -­‐ by yu gaining a better understanding of the structure, formation, duration, and evolution of . The project, however, faced political obstacles owing to Taiwan’s unofficial diplomatic relations with Japan and the United States. This thesis investigates how political relations and scientific research influenced each other in the context of disaster mitigation. Even though Cold War politics prevented meteorologists from rating collabo with each other formally, they constructed unofficial channels of exchanges. These exchanges were mostly justified scientifically and academically. In face of political obstacles, the pragmatic justification of disaster mitigation was also mobilized. This thesis thus argues that the need for disaster mitigation helps overcome political tension. Meteorologists collaborated informally to mitigate natural hazards during TAMEX. In the process, international networks were built and expanded. d These resulte in further collaborations between the meteorologists, such as in the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate Program.
