    ANGELA MERKEL SE PREPARA PARA SU CUARTO MANDATO COMO CANCILLER FEDERAL: CONFORMACIÓN Y DESAFÍOS DE LA NUEVA GRAN COALICIÓN EN ALEMANIA 7 DE MARZO DE 2018 MONITOR ELECTORAL Fuente: Diario El País. ANÁLISIS E INVESTIGACIÓN El 4 de marzo, las bases socialdemócratas alemanas dieron el “Sí” a la coalición de Gobierno con los conservadores. Desde el 24 de septiembre de 2017, cuando tuvieron lugar las elecciones generales, hasta esta fecha, habrán transcurrido más de cinco meses para que la Canciller Angela Merkel pudiera formar gobierno. En el camino de las negociaciones, las dificultades y obstáculos fueron muchos y provinieron de las reticencias de los principales partidos que dominan el escenario político en Alemania. Un primer intento fallido fue el de la conformación de la así denominada Coalición Jamaica, que dio paso al tránsito hacia una fórmula que en buena medida repite la coalición de 2013 entre conservadores y socialdemócratas. El proceso no sólo ha dejado un desgaste relevante en el liderazgo e influencia de los líderes de los partidos y desde luego en la imagen de la propia Canciller Federal. También ha hecho lo propio con Martín Schulz, quien fracasó en su objetivo de asumir la cartera de Asuntos Exteriores. Pareciera, en este sentido, que la Gran Coalición es un mayor acierto para Europa, que para distintos actores en el ámbito nacional. El bloque comunitario ansiaba la conclusión de las negociaciones para poner en marcha el eje París-Berlín y así dar forma a un ambicioso proyecto para renovar la Unión. Pero, al interior del país existe el temor de que en el largo plazo la Gran Coalición fortalezca a la extrema derecha, por lo que conservadores y socialdemócratas tendrán que buscar la forma de que estas fuerzas no les arrebaten más simpatías.

  • 2018 Charlevoix G7 Final Compliance Report 10 June 2018 — 25 July 2019
    The G7 Research Group at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at Trinity College in the University of Toronto presents the 2018 Charlevoix G7 Final Compliance Report 10 June 2018 — 25 July 2019 Prepared by Angela Min Yi Hou, Julia Tops, and Cindy Xinying Ou 23 August 2019 www.g7.utoronto.ca [email protected] @g7_rg “We have meanwhile set up a process and there are also independent institutions monitoring which objectives of our G7 meetings we actually achieve. When it comes to these goals we have a compliance rate of about 80%, according to the University of Toronto. Germany, with its 87%, comes off pretty well. That means that next year too, under the Japanese G7 presidency, we are going to check where we stand in comparison to what we have discussed with each other now. So a lot of what we have resolved to do here together is something that we are going to have to work very hard at over the next few months. But I think that it has become apparent that we, as the G7, want to assume responsibility far beyond the prosperity in our own countries. That’s why today’s outreach meetings, that is the meetings with our guests, were also of great importance.” Chancellor Angela Merkel, Schloss Elmau, 8 June 2015 G7 summits are a moment for people to judge whether aspirational intent is met by concrete commitments. The G7 Research Group provides a report card on the implementation of G7 and G20 commitments. It is a good moment for the public to interact with leaders and say, you took a leadership position on these issues — a year later,

  • Romania's Stance in the Issue of the Refugees Crisis. Preliminary
    Working Paper Romania’s Stance in the Issue of the Refugees Crisis. Preliminary Observations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revised edition Mihai SEBE March 2016 Bucharest, Romania 2 Romania’s stance in the issue of the Refugees crisis. Preliminary observations1 Mihai SEBE2, PhD Bucharest, Romania Abstract The present paper is a part of a broader European debate concerning the rise and risks of the refugees crisis in the midst of a European Union tormented by an economic, social and security crisis. The paper will present a brief overview of the Romanian political landscape and the scars that the debate regarding the refugee crisis left, using open sources. At the EU level we are currently dealing not only with a massive influx of refugees from war torn countries such as Syria and Iraq but also with an increasing number of economic migrants that tend to be mixed together by an overly passionate public opinion and political class. It is important in my opinion to have this distinct approach in order to try identifying the necessary policies. For the first time after the end of a Second World War, we are assisting to a huge migratory flux in Europe, with persons coming from foreign cultural areas that have triggered a wave of fears and potential conflicts due to difficulties of cultural integration, all on the background of older migrant issues in Western Europe. Taking into account the fact that migration issues seem to be yet ever more present in contemporary European democracies, this phenomenon is likely to draw further scientific attention, and an increased need for nationally localized studies, such this one on Romania.

  • The Country Team and Local Staff Role | Excerpt from Inside a U.S. Embassy
    PART II Foreign Service Work and Life: Embassy, Employee, Family By Shawn Dorman THE EMBASSY AND THE COUNTRY TEAM mbassies are located in the capital city of each country with which the United States has official relations, and serve as headquarters for U.S. gov - Eernment representation overseas. U.S. consulates are ancillary government offices in cities other than the capital. American and local employees serving in U.S. embassies and consulates work under the leadership of an ambassador to conduct diplomatic relations with the host country. The Department of State is the lead agency for conducting U.S. diplomacy and the ambassador, appointed by the U.S. president, reports to the Secretary of State. Diplomatic relations among nations, including diplomatic immunity and the inviolability of embassies, follow procedures framed by the 1961 Vienna Convention on the Conduct of Diplomatic Relations and Optional Protocols, ratified by the U.S. in 1969. The foreign affairs agencies that make up the Foreign Service—the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Foreign Commercial Service, the Foreign Agricultural Service, and the International Broadcasting Bureau—are part of the overall U.S. mission in a country and usually have their offices inside the embassy. Each embassy can also be home to the offices of other U.S. government agencies and departments, in some countries as many as 40 dif - ferent entities. Agencies with a significant overseas presence include the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Treasury Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Homeland Security.
