  • Beyond Social Democracy in West Germany?
    BEYOND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY IN WEST GERMANY? William Graf I The theme of transcending, bypassing, revising, reinvigorating or otherwise raising German Social Democracy to a higher level recurs throughout the party's century-and-a-quarter history. Figures such as Luxemburg, Hilferding, Liebknecht-as well as Lassalle, Kautsky and Bernstein-recall prolonged, intensive intra-party debates about the desirable relationship between the party and the capitalist state, the sources of its mass support, and the strategy and tactics best suited to accomplishing socialism. Although the post-1945 SPD has in many ways replicated these controversies surrounding the limits and prospects of Social Democracy, it has not reproduced the Left-Right dimension, the fundamental lines of political discourse that characterised the party before 1933 and indeed, in exile or underground during the Third Reich. The crucial difference between then and now is that during the Second Reich and Weimar Republic, any significant shift to the right on the part of the SPD leader- ship,' such as the parliamentary party's approval of war credits in 1914, its truck under Ebert with the reactionary forces, its periodic lapses into 'parliamentary opportunism' or the right rump's acceptance of Hitler's Enabling Law in 1933, would be countered and challenged at every step by the Left. The success of the USPD, the rise of the Spartacus move- ment, and the consistent increase in the KPD's mass following throughout the Weimar era were all concrete and determined reactions to deficiences or revisions in Social Democratic praxis. Since 1945, however, the dynamics of Social Democracy have changed considerably.

  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

  • Rundbrief 4 311009
    Wir brauchen die SPD zurück für die Verteidigung der Lebensinteressen der ArbeitnehmerInnen und Jugend! Liebe Genossinnen und Genossen, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Die selbsternannte Führungsriege tourt durchs Land. Ihr Credo ist eindeutig: „Wir blicken auf elf Jahre zurück, in denen wir in Deutschland erfolgreich Regierungsverantwortung wahrgenommen haben“, (Leitantrag für den Parteitag in Dresden). „Erfolgreich“? Für wen? „Doch nach dem Wahldesaster sind die Genossen schwer zu beruhigen. Vor allem die Rente mit 67 und Hartz IV bringen die Gemüter in Wallung“, resümiert die heutige RP eine der Veranstaltungen von Nahles/Gabriel. Kein Wunder: Mit diesem „Weiter so“ ist kein Neuanfang denkbar. Deshalb ist es richtig, wenn Genossen wie Uli Kissels sagen, sie werden die SPD „nicht diesen Leuten überlassen“. Denn angesichts der Landtagswahl in NRW stellt sich die zentrale Frage, die die Genossen Frey und Paternoga aufwerfen: Wie können wir als Sozialdemokraten und Gewerkschafter eine schwarz-gelbe Regierung mit einer SPD-Führung bekämpfen, die selbst die Voraussetzungen dafür geschaffen hat, dass Merkel/Westerwelle jetzt zu den brutalen Schlägen ausholen können? Eine Frage, die auch am 8.11. in Kassel diskutiert werden muss. Wir drucken die Einladung nachfolgend ab. Schließlich veröffentlichen wir den Brief von Andrea Ypsilanti, die eintritt für die „programmatische Neufundierung sozialdemokratischer Politik“ und einen Artikel von Hermann Scheer, der eine „selbstkritische Bestandsaufnahme über die Inhalte und die Methoden der SPD-Politik
