A key challenge in the early part of the decade was the Euromissile challenge and working common positions among European partners and with the United States to deal with Soviet intrusions and policies towards Western Europe. I lectured on these issues and wrote several books on the subject as well. It was a tough political environment, for President Reagan certainly was winning no popularity contests in Western Europe at the time. At the Fighter Conference, we heard that we unexpectedly won the Cold War and were unprepared for the consequences. I get the point but in 1985 I formed a working group at the Institute for Defense Analysis with both government and non-governmental experts to look at the prospects and possibilities for German unification and how we might deal with the Soviets to achieve this outcome. Several future members of the Clinton Administration were in that group and we discussed quite often what role might a unified Germany play in Europe and would it act like a “normal” state after unification. Several of us cautioned the more optimistic members that dealing with East Germany would take time for West Germany to pay for and culturally integrate. Others were more optimistic and expected the pace of change to be rapid and the emergence of the new Germany to be a significant player in the rebuild of Europe more generally. When the moment came, we could provide inputs to the process and again I wrote several pieces, including a couple of books on the subject as well. So when I returned to Berlin for the international fighter conference this month, naturally thoughts of the 1980s and then the 1990s came flooding back into my mind, notably as I was not too far from Checkpoint Charlie, which is a museum for the current generation, but a fact of life for mine. What then ensued in the 1990s would set the stage for where we are now. 4 Germany along with most European states in the wake of the collapse of the Wall and the emergence of collapsed Soviet Union, celebrated their good luck with a defense holiday. And with this defense holiday, direct defense became a museum piece along with Checkpoint Charlie. After the Crimean takeover by the Russians in 2014, the beginning of a new phase was emerging, one where direct defense had to now be considered as a realistic challenge for Europe, NATO and the United States. But the Cold War required one type of political-military structure but now is required a quite different one. How to build a relevant direct defense structure for Europe is not consensual and some states are more advanced in dealing with the challenges than others. Notably, Northern Europe is accelerating their concern with direct defense. This leaves a fundamental question with regard to Germany. What is the direct defense strategy of Germany today? Notably with European disaggregation and conflict with the US President, how is German to shape a realistic and resourced defense strategy? What is the relationship of Germany to Poland in central

  • Conference on the Future of Europe
    BRIEFING Conference on the Future of Europe SUMMARY After many debates and statements of principle in recent years, the time for a more structured discussion on the future of Europe's development has arrived. The Conference on the Future of Europe, announced by the Commission's President Ursula von der Leyen in her inaugural address, is set to start after a long period of standstill owing not only to changed priorities brought by the coronavirus pandemic, but also to lengthy negotiations among the institutions. The aim of the conference is to debate how the EU should develop in the future, identify where it is rising to the challenges of current times, and enhance those areas that need reform or strengthening. A key aspect of this initiative is to bring the public closer to the EU institutions, listen to people's concerns, involve them directly in the process of the Conference and provide an adequate and meaningful response. In this respect, the ambition is to set up pan-European forums for discussion, for the first time ever, where citizens of all Member States can debate the EU's priorities and make recommendations, to be taken into account by the political-institutional powers that be and, ideally, translated into practical measures. The pandemic hit as the preparation of the conference was just beginning and inevitably caused a delay. In March 2021, the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission agreed on a joint declaration, laying down the common rules and principles governing the conference. It was agreed that the leadership of the conference would be shared by the three institutions, with the conference chaired jointly by their three presidents.

  • France's Foreign and Security Policy Under President Macron. the Consequences for Franco-German Cooperation
    SWP Research Paper Ronja Kempin (ed.) France’s Foreign and Security Policy under President Macron The Consequences for Franco-German Cooperation Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs SWP Research Paper 4 May 2021, Berlin Abstract ∎ French President Emmanuel Macron has announced his goal of revitalis- ing Franco-German relations and founding a “new partnership” between Paris and Berlin. However, in foreign and security policy, and in certain areas of his Europe policy, this aspiration has rarely been fulfilled. ∎ The main reasons are structural changes in international relations, which the French and German sides have reacted to differently. Paris is looking for new ways of preserving its autonomy in defence policy and of filling the strategic vacuum that has been created by the waning US interest in Europe and its periphery. Berlin emphasises the development of NATO and the EU as fundamental organisations for German foreign policy. ∎ Reconciling bilateral interests is also complicated by national solo efforts, indifference, and inadequate exchange of experience. ∎ The first precondition for intensifying bilateral cooperation is for Paris and Berlin to conduct a comprehensive review of the international con- flict situation in their existing cooperation formats as regards foreign and security policy. The two governments need to discuss openly to what extent their national interests are concerned, and then determine con- crete measures. ∎ Second, they must refrain from national solo efforts and be sensitive to the other’s pressure points in foreign, security and Europe policy. The Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly needs to urge the executive of both countries to fulfil the Élysée Treaty and the Aachen Treaty.

  • Baltic Amber - 10 Years of Success 1 Intro
    Baltic Amber - 10 Years of Success 1 Intro t will not be a typical issue of the Baltic Amber magazine since the occasion is unusual – IMultinational Corps Northeast celebrated its 10th birthday in 2009. Facts will not be in major focus either, because it will be more about emotions and memories. After all, they have greater power than tangible documents with detailed data. The intention of this issue of the Baltic Amber is to present the story of Multinational Corps Northeast; the Corps, which has managed to cover many pages of its 10-year history with successes and highlights. This story will be told by people whose experiences have been scattered in time and space. But they all have met here, in Baltic Barracks, home of the Corps. These people will present the Corps’ history from their own perspective, which may not necessarily be the only one and complete, but it will defi nitely have a human touch. It is the right time and place to listen to people who make this Corps strong. The following pages of the Baltic Amber will take you deep into the Corps’ world. You will fi nd out what the process of founding the Corps looked like, what events shaped the Corps throughout those past 10 years and what the current and future challenges and visions to be met are. All this will give you a taste of a multinational adventure and unique character of this “Corps of the new Millennium” and its 10 years of success.

  • NATO High Commander Issues Illegitimate Order to Kill
    SPIEGEL ONLINE - Druckversion - Battling Afghan Drug Dealers: NATO High Comm ... Page 1 of 2 01/28/2009 08:22 PM BATTLING AFGHAN DRUG DEALERS NATO High Commander Issues Illegitimate Order to Kill By Susanne Koelbl The approach to combatting the drug mafia in Afghanistan has spurred an open rift inside NATO. According to information obtained by SPIEGEL, top NATO commander John Craddock wants the alliance to kill opium dealers, without proof of connection to the insurgency. NATO commanders, however, do not want to follow the order. A dispute has emerged among NATO High Command in Afghanistan regarding the conditions under which alliance troops can use deadly violence against those identified as insurgents. In a classified document, which SPIEGEL has obtained, NATO's top commander, US General John Craddock, has issued a "guidance" providing NATO troops with the authority "to attack directly drug producers and facilities throughout Afghanistan." According to the document, deadly force is to be used even in those cases where there is no proof that suspects are actively engaged in the armed resistance against the Afghanistan government or against Western troops. It is "no longer necessary to produce intelligence or other evidence that each particular drug trafficker or narcotics facility in Afghanistan meets the criteria of being a military objective," Craddock writes. The NATO commander has long been frustrated by the reluctance of some NATO member states -- particularly Germany -- to take aggressive action against those involved in the drug trade. Craddock rationalizes his directive by writing that the alliance "has decided that (drug traffickers and narcotics facilities) are inextricably linked to the Opposing Military Forces, and thus may be attacked." In the document, Craddock writes that the directive is the result of an October 2008 meeting of NATO defense ministers in which it was agreed that NATO soldiers in Afghanistan may attack opium traffickers.
