German History Intersections
Manifesto of the “Berlin Circle” (May 11, 2016) Abstract In a new position paper by the conservative Berlin Circle within the CDU, 15 politicians demand a change of course from Angela Merkel. According to them, it was important to prevent another “drift to the left” within the CDU. It also addresses relations with Turkey and Germany’s refugee policy. Source I. After the catastrophic election results for the CDU on 13 March 2016, especially in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, to continue like this will lead to the loss of more votes in the future. A ruthless, honest, and self-critical analysis was and remains necessary! Those who gloss over the election results misjudge the difficult situation in which the party finds itself and give the impression that they do not want to draw the resulting political consequences – or even seriously discuss them. The historically worst results in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, which once were the CDU's strongholds, are bitter for the entire party and represent its most serious setback to date. The causes are not only to be found in refugee policy, but also in the fact that the CDU, with its socio-political course, has created space for a party to the right of it. The election result is a dramatic continuation of a downward trend that has been emerging for several years. The CDU has lost half a dozen state governments (in Thuringia, Baden-Württemberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Hamburg and North Rhine-Westphalia) without regaining a single position or even winning a new one. -

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. -
Who Is Who in Impeding Climate Protection
Who is Who in Impeding Climate Protection Links between politics and the energy industry The short route to climate collapse The UK meteorological offi ce forecast at the very beginning of the year that 2007 would be the warmest year since weather records began being made. The scientists there estimated that the global average temperature would be 0.54 degrees above the 14 degree average experienced over many years. The record so far, an average of 14.52 degrees, is held by 1998. 2005, which was similarly warm, went into the meteorologists’ record books on reaching an average of 14.65 degrees in the northern hemisphere. Findings made by the German meteorological service also confi rm the atmosphere to be warming. Shortly before the beginning of 2007 the service reported that the year 2006 had been one of the warmest years since weather records began being made in 1901, and the month of July had been the hottest ever since then. An average of 9.5 degrees was 1.3 degrees Celsius above the long-term average of 8.2 degrees. International climate experts are agreed that the global rise in temperature must stay below two degrees Celsius if the effects of climate change are to remain controllable. But the time corridor for the effective reduction of greenhouse gases damaging to the climate is getting narrower and narrower. In the last century already the Earth’s average temperature rose by 0.8 degrees. The experts in the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change anticipate a further rise of up to 6.4 degrees by 2100. -
Kalten Progression Fordern
Panorama Nr. 780 vom 08.05.2014 Kalte Progression: leere Versprechen der Politik Anmoderation Anja Reschke: Wenn ihr Chef freudig verkündet: Du ich hab eine Lohnerhöhung für Dich – nur ‘ne kleine, aber damit ist immerhin die Inflation ausgeglichen – dann sollten Sie besser sagen: Nee Chef, nein danke. Denn wenn Sie die nehmen, haben Sie wahrscheinlich nachher weniger in der Tasche als vorher. Kalte Progression nennt man das. Diese Ungerechtigkeit ist seit Jahren bekannt. Man könnte sie abschaffen. Fordert auch mal der eine, mal der andere Politiker. Aber überlegen Sie mal: 19 Milliarden Euro mehr Steuereinnahmen in den nächsten Jahren – hat die Steuerschätzung heute ergeben. Wodurch kommen die wohl auch zustande? Durch die kalte Progression. Wieso also abschaffen? Aber fordern kann man das als Politiker ja immer mal – macht sich doch gut. Ben Bolz Nennen wir ihn Thorsten (Animation). Thorsten arbeitet hart und verdient nicht schlecht – so um die 5000 Euro. Wenn er dieser Tage Fernsehen schaut, kann er Politikern kaum noch glauben, wenn sie die Abschaffung der Kalten Progression fordern. O-Ton Christian von Stetten, CDU, 23.04.2014: „Weil es was mit Leistung zu tun hat, Leistung auch für die Mittelschicht, für die, die sich eine Lohnerhöhung verdient haben.“ O-Ton Johannes Kahrs, SPD, 23.04.2014: „Die SPD will die Kalte Progression auch reduzieren und abschaffen.“ Die Forderung gibt es nämlich schon lange - genau genommen seit 2008 – als zahlreiche Medien die Kalte Progression zum Thema machten. O-Ton Anja Reschke, Panorama, 27.03.2008: „Die Mittelschicht muss bluten. Seit Jahren wird sie vor allem steuerlich ausgenommen. Wundern Sie sich also nicht, wenn das Geld irgendwie nicht reicht.“ Und plötzlich wurde die Politik zum Anwalt des ausgenommenen Steuerzahlers. -

The German Bundestag notes: The German Bundestag welcomes the revision of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications and Regulation on administrative cooperation through the Internal Market Information System. This is an important prerequisite for harnessing the full potential of the pool of qualified professionals in Europe and for enabling freedom of movement in Eu- rope to be improved. One of the indispensable elements of the European Single Market is the opportunity for all citi- zens to change jobs as smoothly as possible or for services to be rendered from one European country to another.
