AB Uzun Bir Süredir Fortress Europe Olmayı Bıraktı
EUROPEAN UNION: A CIVILIAN OR A POLITICAL POWER IN THE EURO-MEDITERRANEAN PARTNERSHIP? ARMAGAN EMRE ÇAKIR This article claims that within the framework of the Euro- Mediterranean Partnership, the Union mainly assumes the role of civilian power. Sometimes it also has to assume the political power role and becomes influential by using the attraction of full- membership. However, in cases like the conflict in the Middle East, where the Union still wants to be influential but the ‘membership’ instrument cannot work, the Union displays a poor record. In such situations, institutionalisation of the security dimension of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership may help. Introduction Among the foreign policy choices before any international actor is that of determining its position on the isolationism-internationalism continuum. The ends of this range are marked by minimal (that is the isolationism end) and maximal (that is the internationalism end) participation in the international system. In the case of the European Union (EU), if taken as a unified entity acting as an international actor, it is difficult to pinpoint a precise value on this continuum as this value has changed considerably over time in terms of intensity, nature as well as according to the region of the world in question. In basic terms, it would not be wrong to claim that the EU has displayed a shift towards the internationalist end progressively. Until the beginning of the 1990s, the Union was more concerned with completing its political and economic integration process, and this process was indeed almost completed with some positive results like the Single Market and a single currency as scheduled. -

In the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid our institute celebrated its hundredth birthday, a festive event which illustrated once more that ITM has indeed acquired an enviable reputation with regard to education, research and the provision of services in tropical health care. We were most pleased that directors of our partner institutions worldwide, as well as the chairmen of important international organizations, amongst whom also our former professor Dr. Peter Piot, director of UNAIDS, travelled to Antwerp to partake in the celebrations. It proves how much the efforts of our institute are appreciated. The undisputed highlight of the jubilee, however, was the official opening of our brand new teaching campus at the beautifully renovated 7th century Capuchin convent. Once a forgotten piece of Antwerp, today it is a marvellous campus, which will not only make a lasting impression on our students, but will also contribute to the dynamism of our institute. -

The final months of the cabinet Dehaene II A. The budgetary results for 1998 and the contra! of the 1999-budget OnJanuary 6th, the Minister for the Budget Herman Van Rompuy announced that the overall public deficit for 1998 had dropped to € 2,93 billion, equalling 1,3 % of GDP Accordingly, the debt to GDP ratio had dropped to 116,5 %, which was 5 percent points less than in 1997, and 2 percent points less than officially estimated. This budgetary result was the best in many years time. On March 12th, the council of ministers confirmed the budgetary adjustments that had been proposed by the core cabinet. The most important aspect of this adjustment was the € 248 million the cabinet had cleared for what the press called "electoral sweets": among others, the social costs per employee were reduced from April 1st onwards (instead of from July 1st onwards), the pensions were raised by 0,5 percent and the unemployment benefit for singles was raised as well. B. The implementation of the so-called Octopus agreements (24 May 1998) By the end of 1998, most of the regulations of the Octopus agreements of 24 May 1998 on the reform of the judiciary and the police forces, had been convert ed into various laws. However, there were still aspects of the statu te of the 'inte grated police forces' that had to be settled: in particular the rules on disciplinary sanctions, on trade unions, on personnel, and on pensions.
