  • Really Blocking a Banking Union? Germany’S Reluctance Towards Pan-European Banking Resolution
    Name Annika Maria Petra Stahlhut University 1 University of Twente Enschede Universiteit Twente, UT UT Faculty School of Management & Governance UT Supervisor Dr. Shawn Donnelly UT Diploma MSc European Studies University 2 Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster WWU Faculty Institut für Politikwissenschaft WWU Supervisor Prof. Dr. Oliver Treib WWU Diploma MA European Studies Start of Thesis March 1st, 2014 End of Thesis June 21st, 2014 MASTERTHESIS EUROPEAN STUDIES Really Blocking a Banking Union? Germany’s Reluctance Towards pan-European Banking Resolution by Annika Stahlhut (June 2014) Abstract In the recent two years the European Banking Union has been a chief project in European financial integration. Apart from European banking supervision and attempts to integrate deposit insurance on EU-level the member states have agreed to also harmonize the resolution of banks: A Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) seeks to protect taxpayers in Europe from assuming the costs of resolution and to maintain financial stabilty in the internal market when banks are wound up. Although states have therefor charged the Commission to develop a common policy for banking resolution, Germany gains particular attention in European negotiations for objecting to the regulation establishing a single framework. Newspapers report that the German finance minister has announced to block the resolution mechanism (Schäfers, 2014, January 21), for which he is criticized sharply – even by parties on domestic level. It therefore seems as if domestic opinions on European banking resolution depart substantially wherefore the German position appears worth for an in-depth study. To this end European integration of banking resolution is embedded into the theoretical framework of liberal intergovernmentalism that provides for a liberal theory on national preference formation.

    Bilanz der Selbstverpflichtungserklärung des ZDF 2019-2020 Das ZDF-Programm 2019-2020 Selbstverpflichtungs- erklärung: Bilanz Bilanz der Selbstverpflichtungserklärung des ZDF 2019-2020 Vorwort Das Programmjahr 2020 und somit auch diese Bilanz der Selbstverpflich- tungserklärung 2019-2020 sind von der unvorhergesehenen Corona- Pandemie stark geprägt. Trotz der Verlegungen wichtiger Großereignisse aus dem Bereich des Sports, Absagen von Live-Shows und Konzerten sowie Dreh-Verschiebungen sämtlicher fiktionaler Produktionen um meh- rere Monate hat sich die Krise nicht negativ auf die Nutzung der ZDF- Angebote ausgewirkt. Die traditionellen Medien im Allgemeinen und die Informationsangebote des ZDF im Besonderen erlebten ab Mitte März 2020 eine deutliche Nut- zungssteigerung. In dieser Entwicklung zeigte sich, dass das Publikum verstärkt auf Werte wie Glaubwürdigkeit, Verlässlichkeit und Relevanz setzte – die in repräsentativen Umfragen immer wieder belegten Ker- nattribute des öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunks. Nicht nur mit Nachrich- tenprogrammen sind die linearen und non-linearen Kanäle der ZDF-Fa- milie dem gesteigerten Nutzungsbedürfnis entgegengekommen, sondern auch mit hintergründigen Dokumentationen, Bildungs- und Wissen- schaftsprogrammen. Zudem waren und sind die Nutzer*innen auf der Su- che nach fiktionalen und unterhaltenden Programmen, darunter bei- spielsweise auch solche, die unter Pandemie-Bedingungen hergestellt werden konnten, wie fiktionale Kurzformen oder Kulturangebote an un- gewohnten Orten.

The publishing sector is an important part of the democratic corporatist model, and both countries have high levels of newspaper readership with Sweden’s being one of the highest in the world. There is a competitive market for print media, but despite this the market is – especially in Sweden – regulated by different measures such as press subsidies. The Swedish and the German media systems are also ‘duopolies’, where public service broadcasters coexist alongside commercially funded companies, with the public service broadcasters still remaining comparatively strong. Both countries also have a high level of journalistic professionalization, including the sharing of professional standards and a tradition of public-sector involvement in the media landscape (Hallin & Mancini 2004: 145). Since the beginning of the 21st century the media companies in both countries face economic constraints due to several media crises, including a structural crisis (new possibilities within Internet communication), a cyclical crisis, that is, a downturn in advertising revenue (Weischenberg et al.

  • Luuk Molthof Phd Thesis
    Understanding the Role of Ideas in Policy- Making: The Case of Germany’s Domestic Policy Formation on European Monetary Affairs Lukas Hermanus Molthof Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of Politics and International Relations Royal Holloway, University of London September 2016 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Lukas Hermanus Molthof, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This research aims to provide a better understanding of the role of ideas in the policy process by not only examining whether, how, and to what extent ideas inform policy outcomes but also by examining how ideas might simultaneously be used by political actors as strategic discursive resources. Traditionally, the literature has treated ideas – be it implicitly or explicitly – either as beliefs, internal to the individual and therefore without instrumental value, or as rhetorical weapons, with little independent causal influence on the policy process. In this research it is suggested that ideas exist as both cognitive and discursive constructs and that ideas simultaneously play a causal and instrumental role. Through a process tracing analysis of Germany’s policy on European monetary affairs in the period between 1988 and 2015, the research investigates how policymakers are influenced by and make use of ideas. Using five longitudinal sub-case studies, the research demonstrates how ordoliberal, (new- )Keynesian, and pro-integrationist ideas have importantly shaped the trajectory of Germany’s policy on European monetary affairs and have simultaneously been used by policymakers to advance strategic interests.
