H.E. Ms. Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Addresses 100Th International Labour Conference
H.E. Ms. Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Addresses 100th International Labour Conference In the first ever visit of a German Chancellor to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), H.E. Ms. Angela Merkel today addressed the Organization’s annual conference. Speaking to the historic 100th session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) Ms Merkel highlighted the increasing role played by the ILO in closer international cooperation. The G8 and G20 meetings would be “unthinkable without the wealth of experience of this Organisation”, she said, adding that the ILO’s involvement was the only way “to give globalization a form, a structure” (In German with subtitles in English). Transcription in English: Juan Somavia, Director-General, International Labour Organization: “Let me highlight your distinctive sense of policy coherence. Since 2007, you have regularly convened in Berlin the heads of the IMF, World Bank, WTO, OECD and the ILO, and urged us to strengthen our cooperation, and this with a view to building a strong social dimension of globalization and greater policy coherence among our mandates. These dialogues, under your guidance, have been followed up actively by the ILO with important joint initiatives with all of them, whose leaders have all addressed the Governing Body of the ILO. You have been a strong voice for a fairer, more balanced globalization in which much needs to be done by all international organizations.” Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany: “Universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based on social justice.” This is the first sentence of the Constitution of the ILO and I also wish to start my speech with these words, as they clearly express what the ILO is all about and what it is trying to achieve: universal peace. -
To Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel C/O Minister of Finance Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble C/O Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel
To Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel c/o Minister of Finance Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble c/o Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel Dear Chancellor Merkel, We, the undersigned organisations from [XX] European countries are very grateful for your commitment to the financial transaction tax (FTT) in the framework of Enhanced Coopera- tion. Like you, we are of the opinion that only a broad based tax as specified in the coalition agreement and spelt out in the draft of the European Commission will be sufficiently compre- hensive. However, we are concerned that under the pressure of the finance industry some govern- ments will try to water down the proposal of the Commission. Particularly problematic would be to exempt derivatives from taxation or to tax only some of them. Derivatives represent the biggest share of transactions on the financial markets. Hence, exemptions would lead imme- diately to a substantial reduction of tax revenues. Furthermore, many derivatives are the source of dangerous stability risks and would be misused as instruments for the avoidance of the taxation of shares and bonds. We therefore ask you not to give in to the pressure of the finance industry and to tax deriva- tives as put forward in the draft proposal of the Commission. The primacy of politics over financial markets must be restored. In addition we would like to ask you to send a political signal with regard to the use of the tax revenues. We know that the German budget law does not allow the assignment of tax reve- nues for a specific purpose. However, you yourself have already stated that you could envis- age the revenues being used partly to combat youth unemployment in Europe. -
Ostracized in the West, Elected in the East – the Successors of the SED
Volume 10. One Germany in Europe, 1989 – 2009 The Red Socks (June 24, 1994) The unexpected success of the successor party to the SED, the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), at the ballot box in East Germany put the established (Western) parties in a difficult situation: what response was called for, ostracism or integration? The essay analyzes the reasons behind the success of the PDS in the East and the changing party membership. The Party that Lights a Fire Ostracized in the West, voted for in the East – the successors to the SED are drawing surprising support. Discontent over reunification, GDR nostalgia, or a yearning for socialism – what makes the PDS attractive? Last Friday, around 12:30 pm, a familiar ritual began in the Bundestag. When representative Uwe-Jens Heuer of the PDS stepped to the lectern, the parliamentary group of the Union [CDU/CSU] transformed itself into a raging crowd. While Heuer spoke of his party’s SED past, heckling cries rained down on him: “nonsense,” “outrageous.” The PDS makes their competitors’ blood boil, more so than ever. Saxony-Anhalt votes for a new Landtag [state parliament] on Sunday, and the successor to the SED could get twenty percent of the vote. It did similarly well in the European elections in several East German states. In municipal elections, the PDS has often emerged as the strongest faction, for example, in Halle, Schwerin, Rostock, Neubrandenburg, and Hoyerswerda. A specter is haunting East Germany. Is socialism celebrating a comeback, this time in democratic guise? All of the Bonn party headquarters are in a tizzy. -
Paper: the Political Economy of Germany in the Sovereign Debt Crisis
The Political Economy of Germany in the Sovereign Debt Crisis Daniela Schwarzer German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) Paper prepared for Resolving the European Debt Crisis, a conference hosted by the Peterson Institute for International Economics and Bruegel, Chantilly, France, September 13-14, 2011. 1. The German Economic Situation Economic Growth Perspectives and Employment After the downturn in 2008–09, there has been a strong economic recovery in Germany in 2010 and the first half of 2011. But in the context of an economic deceleration expected for the OECD countries, also the German economy will probably slow down considerably in the second half of 2011 and in 2012. Export growth is likely to weaken as key export markets cool down, partly due to fiscal tightening in Germany’s main trading partners. Export growth scored a high 14.4 percent in 2010 and is likely to decelerate to 8 percent in 2011, as a consequence of fiscal tightening and the flattening of the stock cycle in most major markets. Meanwhile, import growth is expected to decrease from 12.8 percent in 2010 to a still strong 6.6 percent in 2011. Domestic demand is also expected to decline as consumers and business are becoming more cautious. Private consumption growth is forecast to accelerate to 1.6 percent in 2011 from 0.4 percent in 2010, but will then stay at around 1.4 percent on average in 2012 to 2015. Employment is expected to expand which will support domestic demand, but real wages are expected to grow only slowly. -

Veranstaltungsbeitrag Solms
BERICHT Adenauer-Forum Diskussion mit dem Vizepräsidenten des Deutschen Bundestages, Dr. Hermann Otto Solms MdB Am Montag, den 12. November 2012, 18 Uhr im Europabüro der Konrad- Adenauer-Stiftung Brüssel „Europa in der Krise – Grenzen und Chancen der Integration“ lautete das Thema des Adenauer-Forums. Als Gastredner war Dr. Hermann Otto Solms MdB angereist. Was können wir tun, um gemeinsam die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen in Europa zu meistern? Wo liegen Grenzen der Integration? Wo kann die aktuelle Krise wiederum eine Chance darstellen, einen neuen Weg einzuschlagen? Schon der Tag, an dem die Veranstaltung statt fand, zeigte beispielhaft, wie es um Europa steht: Die deutsche Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel war nach Lissabon gereist, um mit den dortigen Politikern über die Situation des Landes zu sprechen. Damit sorgte sie, zumindest bei einigen Portugiesen, für Aufregung. Im Vorfeld wurde protestiert, viele Portugiesen fühlen sich als Marionetten der Europäischen Union. Portugal steht nicht allein da, in Griechenland ist die Situation ähnlich. Die Kontrolleure der Troika haben kurz vor Beginn des Treffens der Euro- Finanzminister in Brüssel ihren Bericht zur Haushalts- und Schuldenlage in Griechenland vorgelegt. Dabei bescheinigten die Experten dem Land allenfalls eine leichte Besserung der wirtschaftlichen Situation. Reden wir heute über Europa, geht es um Rettungsschirme, Hilfspakete und Bankenunion. Dabei wird vergessen, um was es bei Europa ursprünglich ging: Um ein einzigartiges Friedensprojekt. Genau dafür werden die Bürger Europas mit dem Friedensnobelpreis ausgezeichnet. Heute sei die Situation jedoch eine andere als nach dem Krieg, sagte Solms. Wir müssten uns mit den praktischen Fragen der Europäischen Einigung auseinander setzen. Nach innen müsse Europa sich weiterentwickeln als Bündnis souveräner Staaten. -
Political Scandals, Newspapers, and the Election Cycle
Political Scandals, Newspapers, and the Election Cycle Marcel Garz Jil Sörensen Jönköping University Hamburg Media School April 2019 We thank participants at the 2015 Economics of Media Bias Workshop, members of the eponymous research network, and seminar participants at the University of Hamburg for helpful comments and suggestions.

Daniel Czwalinna, Jana Kitzinger, Henning Meyfahrt, Fabian Mrongowius, Ulrike Otto, and Nadine Weiss provided excellent research assistance. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Hamburg Media School.

Phone: + 49 40 413468 72, fax: +49 40 413468 10, email: [email protected] Abstract Election outcomes are often influenced by political scandal. While a scandal usually has negative consequences for the ones being accused of a transgression, political opponents and even media outlets may benefit. Anecdotal evidence suggests that certain scandals could be orchestrated, especially if they are reported right before an election. This study examines the timing of news coverage of political scandals relative to the national election cycle in Germany. Using data from electronic newspaper archives, we document a positive and highly significant relationship between coverage of government scandals and the election cycle. On average, one additional month closer to an election increases the amount of scandal coverage by 1.3%, which is equivalent to an 62% difference in coverage between the first and the last month of a four- year cycle. We provide suggestive evidence that this pattern can be explained by political motives of the actors involved in the production of scandal, rather than business motives by the newspapers. -

Barbie® Presents Unique Angela Merkel Barbie® Doll
Barbie® Presents Unique Angela Merkel Barbie® Doll The German chancellor honoured by Mattel at International Toy Fair in Nuremberg On Thursday 5th of February, Barbie will unveil a one of a kind Angela Merkel Barbie doll in honour and recognition of Germany's first female chancellor at the 60th International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany. Barbie has chosen to honour and recognise the Chancellor Merkel as a very modern role model for girls. Chancellor Merkel has successfully led her country while also having major impact with her work in Europe, where she recently received the Charlemagne Prize in recognition of her relentless work to reform the European Union. "Angela Merkel is an incredible role model and with this unique Angela Merkel Barbie Doll we want to honour and recognize her impact and influence on women all over the world to whom she has been a tremendous inspiration." said Richard Dickson, GM and Senior Vice President of Barbie. "For 50 years Barbie has inspired girls to believe they can be anything, and Chancellor Merkel certainly brings that message to life for girls worldwide." With Forbes Magazine naming her "the most powerful woman in the world at present time" for three years in a row, Angela Merkel represents what lies at the core of the Barbie brand. As Ruth Handler, Barbie's creator, explained; "My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices." The Angela Merkel Barbie doll will be exhibited at the International Toy Fair in Mattel's showroom from the 5th-10th February, beginning a year of celebrations to mark Barbie's five decades as a Fashion Icon and Princess of Pop culture. -
Germany, the Euro and the Politics of the Bail-Out by Katinka Barysch
briefing note Germany, the euro and the politics of the bail-out By Katinka Barysch ★ It took Berlin months finally to support a financial aid package for Greece and other struggling eurozone countries. Accused of lacking European solidarity, the Germans have reacted with defiance, even anger. ★ Chancellor Angela Merkel’s leadership style and domestic political constraints contributed to Berlin’s hesitancy during the euro crisis. However, underlying shifts in Germany’s stance towards the EU mean that any government will take a more hard-nosed approach to European policy- making. ★ The current rift between Germany and its European partners needs to be handled carefully. The implications of a more eurosceptic Germany for the future of European integration would be severe. On May 2nd, eurozone finance ministers, the IMF and the Greek government agreed on a loan package for Greece worth up to S110 billion over three years. The decision came more than one month after EU leaders had agreed on the broad outlines of financial support and two and half months after they first discussed the option of helping Greece. Most people blamed Berlin for the delay. Angela Merkel’s hesitancy and prevarication increased the cost of the bail-out, unsettled financial markets and poisoned the political atmosphere in Europe. Some commentators have accused Germany of being selfish, lacking solidarity with its EU partners, and putting domestic politics ahead of the survival of the euro. Analysts have concluded that Merkel simply does not ‘get’ financial markets. Those with a knack for conspiracy theories mused whether Berlin had dragged its feet in the hope that Portugal, Greece and Spain would be forced out of the euro, leaving only ‘stability oriented’ northerners within the single currency. -
