To commemorate this anniversary, Jean Monnet's ashes were transferred to the Pantheon in Paris in the presence of most of the Heads of State or Government of the Member States, President Delors and a large number of prominent figures. As tributes to the architect of European integration, many other commemorative events were held elsewhere in Europe: in Lausanne on 4 November; in Bonn on 7 November; in Brussels (Symposium organized by the Commission on 10 November); in Strasbourg (formal sitting of the European Parliament on 15 November).

  • The History of the European Monetary Union and Useful for Opening up New Horizons
    The financial and economic crisis that hit Europe in 2009 brought out the precariousness of the monetary union, accentuating the economic disequilibrium among European nations and strengthening Euro-skepticism. The History of the European The crisis was the catalyst for long-standing and unresolved problems: the creation of a singly monetary area with intergovernmental control, the Monetary Union final act in the construction of a Europe economically united but without a government and a state; the consequent discrepancy between forming a consensus that remains in large part national and the political dynamics in Comparing Strategies amidst Prospects Europe; the sustainability of a monetary union in the absence of an economic- for Integration and National Resistance social union, which presents again the long-standing debate between “monetarist” countries and “economist” countries.

  • Charlemagne and Europe
    Journal of the British Academy, 2, 125–152. DOI 10.5871/jba/002.125 Posted 3 December 2014. © The British Academy 2014 Charlemagne and Europe Raleigh Lecture on History read 12 November 2013 JINTY NELSON Fellow of the Academy Abstract: This paper, ‘Charlemagne and Europe’, is a revised and expanded form of the lecture I read on 12 November 2013. I begin by asking what Europe has meant to medieval historians in recent times, focusing on some answers given in the 1990s and around the year 2000, and reflecting on the different ways Charlemagne is being com- memorated in different parts of Europe now, 1,200 years after his death. I then re- examine Charlemagne through evidence from his own time, as a ruler of a recognisably European empire, and, in the light of recent research and new approaches, I recon- sider his record as a political figure. A brief survey of his posthumous reputation as man and myth in the middle ages, and after, leads into a closer look at the roles assigned to him in post-war rhetoric. Finally I ask whether Charlemagne has, or might have, anything to offer Europeans today. Keywords: Charlemagne, Europe, empire, commemoration, myth To be invited to give the Raleigh Lecture is, as it has been since it was endowed almost a century ago, a tremendous honour. It also presents a new challenge, for the British Academy is changing with the times, and today’s Raleigh Lecturer is now invited to connect the Academy with a broad public. The occasion has become part of the Academy’s opening-wide of its doors.

Aim The EUSALP Strategy brings together seven countries, of which five are EU Member States (Austria, France, Ger- many, Italy and Slovenia) and two are EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries (Liechtenstein and Swit- zerland). From a subnational perspective, EUSALP is a platform for cooperation for 48 regions. EUSALP is imple- mented by nine EUSALP Action Groups (AG), which organise their operations thematically along the four key objectives of the macro-regional strategy. The EUSALP Action Plan outlines the four objectives and the nine ac- tions of cooperation. Within Objective 2 "Mobility and Connectivity" of the EUSALP Action Plan, Action Group 4 is to promote inter- modality and interoperability in passenger and freight transport. Action Group 4 offers a platform to identify, coordinate, orchestrate and potentially harmonise the activities of Alpine regions and countries. The aim is the development of a sustainable transport and mobility system within and across the Alps. AG4’s mission is to build a common understanding of transport policy and mobility, to define common objectives and to launch specific activities and projects.

  • German 'Soft Power': from the Fall of the Wall to the 2006
    GERMAN ‘SOFT POWER’: FROM THE FALL OF THE WALL TO THE 2006 WORLD CUP A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Development Management and Policy By Juan Carlos Holguin, BA Washington, DC March, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Juan Carlos Holguin All Rights Reserved ii GERMAN ‘SOFT POWER’: FROM THE FALL OF THE WALL TO THE 2006 WORLD CUP Juan Carlos Holguin, BA Thesis Advisor: Eric A. Langenbacher, PhD ABSTRACT After the Second World War, and especially since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Germany has made an enormous effort to build international relations and external cooperation. To do this, it has used many strategies of soft power, attempting to distance itself from the negative stereotypes of its history. In this thesis, I will analyze the “German model of development” that has positioned the country in the new world order of the second half of the twentieth century as an economic power with a successful democratic system. This thesis will also examine the ways in which Germany influences different regions of the world, spreading its democratic, economic and cultural principles with the help of a strategic plan of cooperation that includes official and non-governmental organizations, foundations, schools, churches, and others, while developing a new tool of diplomatic relations that began in 2006: soccer. iii The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to my wife and my son Gabriel; my parents; Eric; Victoria; and all the good friends that supported me during this process in Quito, Buenos Aires, Washington D.C., Germany and Brazil.

  • Remarks at Jean Monnet Rome Event
    Remarks at Jean Monnet Seminar “Communicating Europe: Observations from an American Believer” Anthony Luzzatto Gardner Visiting Fellow, College of Europe U.S. Ambassador to the European Union 2014-2017 Rome, March 23, 2017 Thank you for this invitation to speak on the topic of how Europe should communicate its purpose, especially to the younger generation. I would like to focus on how the EU institutions should communicate their contribution to improving the lives of ordinary citizens. On April 25 last year President Obama delivered an Address to the People of Europe in Hannover.1 In that speech, to which I contributed, he quoted former German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer: “European unity was a dream of a few. It became a hope for [the] many. Today it is a necessity for all of us.” He added that it’s also a necessity for the United States: “because Europe’s security and prosperity is inherently indivisible from our own… A strong, united Europe is a necessity for the world because an integrated Europe remains vital to our international order. Europe helps to uphold the norms and rules that can maintain peace and promote prosperity around the world.” He also asserted that: 1 Remarks by President Barack Obama to the People of Europe, Hannover Messe, April 25, 2016. 1 “your accomplishment -- more than 500 million people speaking 24 languages in 28 countries, 19 with a common currency, in one European Union -- remains one of the greatest political and economic achievements of modern times.” It was a terrific speech, but there was only one problem: it should have been delivered by a European politician, not by the President of the United States.
