  • Relations with Other State Powers
    THE BULLETIN The Venice Commission was requested by the Constitutional Court of Romania, currently holding the presidency of the Conference of European Constitutional Courts (CECC), to produce a working document on the topic chosen by its Circle of Presidents at the preparatory meeting in Bucharest in October 2009 for the XV th Congress of the CECC. The topic was the following: “The relations of the Constitutional Court with other state authorities. Sub-topic 1: relations between the Constitutional Court and parliament. Sub-topic 2: conflicts of competence. Sub-topic 3: the execution of judgments.” The present working document is a contribution by the Venice Commission to the success of the Congress. Constitutional courts are the independent guarantors of the constitution and their main task is to protect the supremacy of the constitution over ordinary law. Over time, however, these courts have taken on further tasks, such as safeguarding the individual against the excess of the executive or providing a safeguard against judicial errors. Another very important role of these courts is to act as a neutral arbiter in cases of conflict between state bodies. Parties to such a conflict know that they can turn to the Constitutional Court for a decision that will help them in resolving their conflict based on the constitution. The possibility of turning to the court in itself sometimes incites them to settle their disputes before they even reach the court. In order to function correctly as an effective institution that stands above the parties in such a dispute, Constitutional Courts need to be independent and need to be seen as being independent.

  • Die Deutsche Bundesbank Notenbank Für Deutschland Die Deutsche Bundesbank Seite 2 Vorwort Seite 3
    Die Deutsche Bundesbank Notenbank für Deutschland Die Deutsche Bundesbank Seite 2 Vorwort Seite 3 Der stabilen Währung verpflichtet Die Deutsche Bundesbank ist die Notenbank für Deutschland. In der Europäischen Wirt- schafts- und Währungsunion leistet sie als Teil des Eurosystems einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Stabilität der gemeinsamen Währung, des Euro. Maßstab für das Handeln der Bundesbank sind die gesetzlich verankerte Unabhängigkeit und die vorgegebenen Aufgaben. Mit der hohen Kompetenz der Mitarbeiter und deren Engagement nimmt sie ihre Aufgaben verantwortungsbewusst und transparent wahr. Durch glaubwürdiges Handeln schafft die Bundesbank die Grundlage für das Vertrauen der Bevölkerung und der Märkte in ihre Stabilitätsorientierung. Denn eine stabile Währung ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Daher ist der Euro mit dem Versprechen verbunden, die Währungsunion als Stabilitätsunion zu sichern. Diesem Versprechen sind die nationalen Zentralbanken des Eurosystems und die Europäische Zentralbank sowie die Regierungen aller Mitgliedsländer und die europäischen Institu- tionen verpflichtet. Um ihren Stabilitätsauftrag zu erfüllen und das Verständnis für stabiles Geld zu stärken, gibt die Bundesbank in diesem Buch einen Überblick über die deutsche Zentralbankge- schichte und informiert über ihre vielfältigen Aufgaben sowie die rechtlichen Grundlagen.

Party-Political Responses to the Alternative for Germany in Comparative Perspective Abstract In September 2017, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) became the first far-right party to join the Bundestag in nearly seventy years. Yet, it was not the first time that a challenger party entered the parliament to the chagrin of the political establishment. After introducing the AfD, the BHE, the Greens, and the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), the article analyzes how established parties treated the newcomers and why they did so. This comparative perspective offers insights into the AfD’s challenge, how distinctive the policies toward the AfD have been, and why the established parties have dealt with the AfD as they have. Keywords Alternative for Germany (AfD), BHE, challenger parties, Greens, Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), populist parties Disciplines Political Science Comments Originally published in German Politics and Society, Issue 134 Vol.

  • The German Right, 1918–1930 Larry Eugene Jones Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-49407-6 — The German Right, 1918–1930 Larry Eugene Jones Frontmatter More Information THE GERMAN RIGHT, 1918–1930 The failure of the Weimar Republic and the rise of National Socialism remains one of the most challenging problems of twentieth-century European history. The German Right, 1918–1930 sheds new light on this problem by examining the role that the non-Nazi Right played in the destabilization of Weimar democracy in the period before the emergence of the Nazi Party as a mass party of middle-class protest. Larry Eugene Jones identifies a critical divide within the German Right between those prepared to work within the framework of Germany’s new republican government and those irrevocably committed to its overthrow. This split was greatly exacerbated by the course of German economic development in the 1920s, leaving the various organizations that comprised the German Right defenceless against the challenge of National Socialism. At no point was the disunity of the non-Nazi Right in the face of Nazism more apparent than in the September 1930 Reichstag elections. is Professor Emeritus in the Department of History at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, where he has taught since 1968.

  • Constitutional Means for the Protection of the Political Order in Germany
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 JAN WIKTOR TKACZYŃSKI Kraków CONSTITUTIONAL MEANS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE POLITICAL ORDER IN GERMANY An analysis of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany (Grundge- setz) paying special attention to the proposed measures for the (co-)governance of the state, substantiates the description of the German constitution as a political offer to each citizen. Apart from various proposals for forms of participation in the democratic process, those which support a wide range of freedom and civil rights for individuals can also be found. If therefore the picture is filled out with a guar- antee of both individual and collective rights and freedoms, it must be admitted that the German constitution presents itself not only as a repository of some more or less ringing phrases, but also as a substantial legal instrument for implement- ing political measures. It must at the same time be admitted with some embar- rassment that this noble sounding constitutional openness contains the germ of potential danger for the order that it represents. The legal seizure of power with its subsequent dismantling of the democratic state of law by the National Socialists in Germany was a clear example showing how the enemies of an order based on a foundation of freedom and equality can make use of democratic constitutional tools for the most undemocratic governmental goals directed against freedom and individual rights. DEFENSE OF THE BASIC LAW BY SELF-REGULATION The historical lesson learned from the way that the National Socialists destroyed the Weimar constitutional order, set the creators of the new German constitution in 1949 the task of building a system, which by definition would be resistant to vari- ous temptations and – to be honest – challenges to the political order.

But this freedom also demands responsibility as in almost every branch of science, important and useful research findings can potentially be misused to do harm. The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Leopoldina believe that the opportunities and risks of scientific freedom can only be controlled to a very limited degree by legal regulations.
