Central Europe
Central Europe West Germany FOREIGN POLICY wTHEN CHANCELLOR Ludwig Erhard's coalition government sud- denly collapsed in October 1966, none of the Federal Republic's major for- eign policy goals, such as the reunification of Germany and the improvement of relations with its Eastern neighbors, with France, NATO, the Arab coun- tries, and with the new African nations had as yet been achieved. Relations with the United States What actually brought the political and economic crisis into the open and hastened Erhard's downfall was that he returned empty-handed from his Sep- tember visit to President Lyndon B. Johnson. Erhard appealed to Johnson for an extension of the date when payment of $3 billion was due for military equipment which West Germany had bought from the United States to bal- ance dollar expenses for keeping American troops in West Germany. (By the end of 1966, Germany paid DM2.9 billion of the total DM5.4 billion, provided in the agreements between the United States government and the Germans late in 1965. The remaining DM2.5 billion were to be paid in 1967.) During these talks Erhard also expressed his government's wish that American troops in West Germany remain at their present strength. Al- though Erhard's reception in Washington and Texas was friendly, he gained no major concessions. Late in October the United States and the United Kingdom began talks with the Federal Republic on major economic and military problems. Relations with France When Erhard visited France in February, President Charles de Gaulle gave reassurances that France would not recognize the East German regime, that he would advocate the cause of Germany in Moscow, and that he would 349 350 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1967 approve intensified political and cultural cooperation between the six Com- mon Market powers—France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. -

The debate is traced from its inception on March 23, 1983, when Reagan announced his decision to accelerate ballistic missile defence research, to the eclipse of SDI as a major source of transatlantic and international controversy when Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev signed the INF Treaty in December 1987. The transatlantic SDI debate is investigated to determine: (1) the underlying cause, or reasons, for the controversy, (2) how the Alliance managed the differences which arose, and (3) how East- West relations affected the manner in which the controversy was handled. -
Herbert Czaja Zum 100. Geburtstag Am 5. November 2014 Von Hartmut Koschyk Mdb
Herbert Czaja zum 100. Geburtstag am 5. November 2014 von Hartmut Koschyk MdB Die drei großen christdemokratischen Politiker und gemeinhin als Gründerväter des politisch geeinten Europas angesehenen Staatsmänner Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi und Robert Schuman hatten zwei große Gemeinsamkeiten: Zum einen waren die drei praktizierenden Katholiken zutiefst in ihrem christlichen Glauben verwurzelt, der für sie auch ethische Grundlage und Richtschnur ihres politischen Handelns war. Zum anderen stammten sie jeweils aus Grenzgebieten: Konrad Adenauer wurde in Köln geboren und sein politisches Wirken war als Oberbürgermeister von Köln und Vorsitzender des Provinzialausschusses der Rheinprovinz bis 1933 aufs Engste mit diesem über Jahrhunderte zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich umstrittenen Gebiet verbunden. Der Italiener Alcide de Gasperi wurde 1881 in der Nähe der damals österreichischen Stadt Trient geboren und vertrat ab 1911 bzw. 1914 das heimatliche Trentino im österreichischen Reichsrat und im Landtag von Tirol. Robert Schuman wurde 1886 im luxemburgischen Clausen geboren und ließ sich nach seinem Studium im damals deutschen Metz nieder, nach 1918 ging er für die Region Lothringen in die französische Politik. Diese Grenzgebiete waren oft Anlass zu politischen Streit und kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen, immer aber auch vermittelnde Brücken zwischen zwei benachbarten, zeitweise feindselig gegeneinander stehenden Völkern. Interkulturelle Prägung Die Parallelen zum Leben von Herbert Czaja sind unverkennbar. Die im katholischen Elternhaus angenommenen sittlichen Prinzipien und ethischen Grundüberzeugungen ließen ihn immun gegen das Gift des Nationalsozialismus werden. Geboren wurde er am 5. November 1914 in dem damals zu Österreichisch-Schlesien gehörenden 1 Städtchen Teschen. Kaum irgendwo sonst dürfte der seit 1740 bestehende österreichisch-preußische Gegensatz so stark zu spüren gewesen sein wie hier. -

Journalists and Religious Activists in Polish-German Relations

In their foreign relations work, these non-state actors preceded the Polish-West German political relations that were established in 1970. The dissertation has a twofold focus on private contacts between these activists, and on public discourse through radio, television and print media, primarily its effects on political and social change between the peoples. My sources include the activists’ private correspondences, interviews, and memoirs as well as radio and television manuscripts, articles and business correspondences. Earlier research on Polish-German relations is generally situated firmly in a nation-state framework in which the West German, East German or Polish context takes precedent. My work utilizes international relations theory and comparative reconciliation research to explore the long-term and short-term consequences of the discourse and the concrete measures which were taken during the 1960s to end official deadlock and nationalist antagonisms and to overcome the destructive memories of the Second World War dividing Poles and Germans. -
From “Non-Immigration Country” to “Country of Integration”
From “Non-Immigration Country” to “Country of Integration” Transformation of integration discourse in Germany Shigeki Sato (Hosei University/ University of Constance) [email protected] Paper presented at the 10th meeting of the German-Japanese Society for Social Sciences October 9, 2010 Hosei University (Tokyo, Japan) Abstract This paper aims to illuminate the transformation of integration discourse in Germany by comparing the different forms of discourse of the 1980s and the 2000s. In order to do so, the paper attempts to detect underlying cognitive schemes of boundary between immigrants and natives in the discourse of immigrant integration. In the 1980s, the integration discourse, whether it seeks to return immigrants to their homeland and to preserve homogeneous “national character” or it proposes a peaceful and democratic “multicultural” co-existence to enrich “our society”, commonly assumed the cultural difference between “Germans” and “foreigners” as essential and fixed. In the 2000s, the Integration discourse is mainly concerned with the common norms and values immigrants must share, whether these norms and values are called “Leitkultur” or “constitutional patriotism”. It is now generally agreed that immigrants, including Muslims, have to learn German and accept “our liberal-democratic values” of the constitution to be “a part of Germany”. Thus the boundary between immigrants and “us” is perceived to be more blurred and fluid. But Immigrants are strongly urged to have the “will” to integrate. More offensive calls for integration tend to marginalize or stigmatize immigrants “refusing” to integrate. *Do not cite without author’s permission 1 Deutschland schafft sich nicht ab, Deutschland verändert sich durch Immigration, und das ist gut so. -
Security Communities and the Habitus of Restraint: Germany and the United States on Iraq
Review of International Studies (2007), 33, 285–305 Copyright British International Studies Association doi:10.1017/S0260210507007516 Security communities and the habitus of restraint: Germany and the United States on Iraq CORNELIU BJOLA AND MARKUS KORNPROBST* Abstract. Borrowing from Norbert Elias, we introduce the habitus of restraint to the study of security communities. This habitus constitutes a key dimension of the glue that holds security communities together. The perceived compatibility of practices emanating from the habitus that members hold fosters the collective identity upon which a security community is built. The violation of a member’s habitus by the practices of another member, however, disrupts the reproduction of collective identity and triggers a crisis of the security community. Our analysis of Germany’s reaction to Washington’s case for war against Iraq provides empirical evidence for the salience of the habitus for the internal dynamics of security communities. Introduction At first glance, it is surprising that Saddam Hussein triggered the deepest post-World War II rift in the usually amicable relationship between the United States and Germany. The two countries share many values that should have prevented action taken against a vicious dictator from becoming a contentious issue. Saddam Hussein’s longstanding record of gross human rights abuses and aggression against other states should have been yet another reason to draw the two allies even closer together. This scenario, however, failed to materialise. Not only did the United States and Germany fail to find a common ground on Iraq. They even started to fundamentally question the nature of their relationship. -
Germany and Japan As Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: a Role Theoretical Comparison
Alexandra Sakaki Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Trier 2011 GERMANY AND JAPAN AS REGIONAL ACTORS IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA: A ROLE THEORETICAL COMPARISON A dissertation submitted by Alexandra Sakaki to the Political Science Deparment of the University of Trier in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submission of dissertation: August 6, 2010 First examiner: Prof. Dr. Hanns W. Maull (Universität Trier) Second examiner: Prof. Dr. Christopher W. Hughes (University of Warwick) Date of viva: April 11, 2011 ABSTRACT Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Recent non-comparative studies diverge in their assessments of the extent to which German and Japanese post-Cold War foreign policies are characterized by continuity or change. While the majority of analyses on Germany find overall continuity in policies and guiding principles, prominent works on Japan see the country undergoing drastic and fundamental change. Using an explicitly comparative framework for analysis based on a role theoretical approach, this study reevaluates the question of change and continuity in the two countries‘ regional foreign policies, focusing on the time period from 1990 to 2010. Through a qualitative content analysis of key foreign policy speeches, this dissertation traces and compares German and Japanese national role conceptions (NRCs) by identifying policymakers‘ perceived duties and responsibilities of their country in international politics. Furthermore, it investigates actual foreign policy behavior in two case studies about German and Japanese policies on missile defense and on textbook disputes. -

5 Vergangenheitsbewältigung: Historikerstreit and the Notion Of
Vergangenheitsbewältigung: Historikerstreit and the Notion of Continued Responsibility Paul Rutschmann The chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Angela Merkel, an- nounced in April of 2006 during a parliamentary session that she and her fellow party members represent a younger generation which no longer has direct ties to the Third Reich. Her statement revealed a certain confidence that the National Socialist past can finally belong to the past without further continuation into the present, as well as the hope that Germans would finally be able to devote their full attention, unencumbered by the shadow of Hitler, to the future. This renewed desire to put the burdened past behind appears twenty years after the highly publicized Historians’ Dispute (Historikerstreit) in which a more vigorous attempt had been made to free German national consciousness from the lingering influences of a negative-laden Nazi past. Despite her optimism, one still has to ask whether enough time has elapsed to absolve later generations of Germans of continued responsibility for the atrocities of Nazi Germany. The Historikerstreit of 1986/7 revolved mainly around the uniqueness or non-uniqueness of Nazi history in public memory and the historian’s role in rees- tablishing a healthy sense of national identity. While adding nothing new in the way of historical research, the dispute did reveal what is at stake for Germans in their interpretations of the past. Ostensibly, the dispute was conducted in the man- ner of political Vergangenheitsbewältigung. But by politicizing the memory of Nazi war crimes, many of the conservative historians were clouding the deeper issues inherent in the notion of Vergangenheitsbewältigung.1 Vergangenheitsbewältigung as such expresses the manner in which Germans come to grips with or interpret their past and to what degree their interpretations of history reflect feelings of continued responsibility towards the survivors of the former victims. -
