Western Economic and Political Sanctions As Instruments of Strategic Competition with Russia – Opportunities and Risks
chapter 13 Western Economic and Political Sanctions as Instruments of Strategic Competition with Russia – Opportunities and Risks Joachim Krause Abstract This chapter deals with the efforts of the eu and the us to put pressure on Russia since March 2014. It addresses the question whether or not there was a consistent strategic logic behind Western sanctions against Russia. It looks at the effects of the sanctions and how far have they actually contributed to the economic plight of the Russian economy. It asks whether there were indications that Western sanctions might drive Russia into a military escalation. The author arrives at the conclusion that most Western governments have been more or less incapable of dealing properly with the kind of strategic challenge Russia is posing today and that sanctions have been pre- dominantly symbolic in nature with no clear idea on what is to be done if sanctions fail to change the course of Russian policy or, even worse, if they drive Russia into seeking a military solution. Keywords Russia – European Union – economic sanctions – Western strategic policy 1 Introduction Since the occupation and annexation of the Crimea in February and March of 2014, the Western community (i.e. the eu, nato as well as the broader Western world) has imposed both political and economic sanctions on Russia. The intention of these sanctions was often expressed in vague and general language, but they were understood as measures taken in reaction to the unlawful annex- ation of the Crimea. More sanctions were imposed after the incursions of Russian regular and irregular military and Federal Security Service (fsb) units in various parts of the Ukraine and the de-facto secession (possibly foreboding eventual annexation by Russia) of Donetsk, Luhansk and other cities in the © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ��6 | doi �0.��63/9789004�99894_0�4 <UN> Western Sanctions as Instruments of Strategic Competition 271 Donbass area in Southeastern Ukraine.

Accreditation of the City of Delmenhorst As “Safe Community” Within the Programme of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion
24. January 2011 Accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as “Safe Community” within the programme of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion Impressum Accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as “Safe Community” of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion Editor: The registered association Infantile Health (GiK e.V.), Delmenhorst City of Delmenhorst Editorial staff: Dr. Johann Böhmann, Dr. Birgit Warwas-Pulina, Andreas Kampe, Stella Buick Contact: Dr. Johann Böhmann, head physician of the paediatric clinic of Delmenhorst, Wildeshauser Str. 92, 27753 Delmenhorst Peter Betten, coordinator of the round table “Injury prevention”, city of Delmenhorst, Service 3 Delmenhorst, January 2011 II Preface Road traffic or household injuries, violence against women, children or dissidents cause damage to each individual and to the community, which cannot be accepted. Therefore prevention is very important in the community of Delmenhorst. The city of Delmenhorst has undertaken the task of avoiding injuries caused by accidents and violence by means of systematic precaution as far as possible. A successful prevention is the precondition for a cross-departmental and systematical approach. The prevention must not only include the reaction to the current occurrences, but must also include a comprehensive and systematic long-term, active strategy. With the report on hand “accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as safe community” the community of Delmenhorst applies for the acceptance to the international network of the “Safe Communities”. The stakeholders in Delmenhorst would like to learn from the experiences of other countries and they want to provide the international community with their knowledge regarding prevention.

However, there is no correlation between deliveries in Thielallee 88–92, D-14195 Berlin, Germany. hospital buildings (clinical deliveries) and the stork population. The decline in the E-mail: number of pairs of storks in the German state of Lower Saxony between 1970 and [email protected] 1985 correlated with the decrease of deliveries in that area. The nearly constant num- ber of deliveries from 1985 to 1995 was associated with an unchanged stork popula- tion (no statistical significance). However, the relevance of the stork for the birth rate in that part of Germany remains unclear, because the number of out-of-hospital deliv- eries in this area is not well documented. A lack of statistical information on out-of- hospital deliveries in general is a severe handicap for further proof for the Theory of the Stork. The intended value (disclaimer): This article is not intended to disprove the value of serious epidemiological investigations. It is an example of how studies based on popular belief and unsubstantiated theory, seconded by low quality references and supported by coincidental statistical association could lead to apparent scientific endorsement.

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.

North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India
Page 1 of 13 Consulate General of India Frankfurt *** General and Bilateral Brief- North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India North Rhine-Westphalia, commonly shortened to NRW is the most populous state of Germany, with a population of approximately 18 million, and the fourth largest by area. It was formed in 1946 as a merger of the provinces of North Rhine and Westphalia, both formerly parts of Prussia, and the Free State of Lippe. Its capital is Düsseldorf; the largest city is Cologne. Four of Germany's ten largest cities—Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, and Essen— are located within the state, as well as the second largest metropolitan area on the European continent, Rhine-Ruhr. NRW is a very diverse state, with vibrant business centers, bustling cities and peaceful natural landscapes. The state is home to one of the strongest industrial regions in the world and offers one of the most vibrant cultural landscapes in Europe. Salient Features 1. Geography: The state covers an area of 34,083 km2 and shares borders with Belgium in the southwest and the Netherlands in the west and northwest. It has borders with the German states of Lower Saxony to the north and northeast, Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and Hesse to the southeast. Thinking of North Rhine-Westphalia also means thinking of the big rivers, of the grassland, the forests, the lakes that stretch between the Eifel hills and the Teutoburg Forest range. The most important rivers flowing at least partially through North Rhine-Westphalia include: the Rhine, the Ruhr, the Ems, the Lippe, and the Weser.

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. We are grateful to Spiegel Publishing for access to its news archive. 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. Corresponding author: Jil Sörensen, Hamburg Media School, Finkenau 35, 22081 Hamburg, Germany. 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.
