The legislative competencies of the Federation and the Länder are regulated in detail by the Basic Law. Articles 71 to 75 list the legislative powers of the Federation. In all other cases, the Länder are responsible. * Exclusive legislation: The Federation holds exclusive legislative competence in the following fields: all foreign policy issues, defence, including the protection of the civil population, citizenship, currency and money, the unity of the customs and trading area and cooperation between the Federation and the Länder concerning criminal police work. 1 * Concurrent legislation: In fields subject to concurrent legislation, the Länder have the right to adopt legislation provided and in so far as the Federation makes no use of its legislative powers in these fields.

  • Towards the Kalmar Union
    S P E C I A L I Z E D A G E N C I E S TOWARDS THE KALMAR UNION Dear Delegates, Welcome to the 31st Annual North American Model United Nations 2016 at the University of Toronto! On behalf of all of the staff at NAMUN, we welcome you to the Specialized Agency branch of the conference. I, and the rest of the committee staff are thrilled to have you be a delegate in Scandinavia during the High Middle Ages, taking on this challenging yet fascinating topic on the futures of the three Scandinavian Kingdoms in a time of despair, poverty, dependence and competitiveness. This will truly be a new committee experience, as you must really delve into the history of these Kingdoms and figure out how to cooperate with each other without sending everyone into their demise. To begin, in the Towards the Kalmar Union Specialized Agency, delegates will represent influential characters from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which include prominent knights, monarchs, nobles, and important religious figures who dominate the political, military and economic scenes of their respective Kingdoms. The impending issues that will be discussed at the meeting in Kalmar, Sweden include the future of the Danish and Norwegian crowns after the death of the sole heir to the thrones, Olaf II. Here, two distant relatives to Valdemar IV have a claim to the throne and delegates will need to decide who will succeed to the throne. The second order of business is to discuss the growing German presence in Sweden, especially in major economic cities.

Wilbers 2016 ABSTRACT Historians consider the years between World War I and World War II to be a period of decline for German America. This dissertation complicates that argument by applying a transnational framework to the history of German immigration to the United States, particularly the period between 1919 and 1939. The author argues that contrary to previous accounts of that period, German migrants continued to be invested in the homeland through a variety of public and private relationships that changed the ways in which they thought about themselves as Germans and Americans.

The project focused on the following questions: 1. Which mutual interactions between the factors that determine how tourism develops led to the current situation? 2. Taking particular account of price/performance ratios, which quality standards are relevant to which target groups, both at present and in the future? 3. What measures, or packages of measures, are taking effect in which regions, and for which target groups? From the very start, the client and contractor were in agreement that a complex project of this nature could only be successfully conducted on the basis of ongoing, trustful feedback be- tween all the project partners.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

    OswcOMMentary issue 69 | 10.01.2011 | ceNTRe fOR eAsTeRN sTudies The EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region from Germany’s perspective NTARy Me Marta Zawilska-Florczuk ces cOM Germany is one of the eight EU member states which participate in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region along with Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. Germany had a positive ap- tudies proach to the EUSBSR strategy (see Appendix 1) right from planning stage. s This project contributed to the continuation of Germany’s co-operation with the countries in this region, which has been conducted since the mid astern 1980s mainly by German federal states. Germany is playing a major role as e part of this strategy because it is the coordinator of its three priority areas. However, the German federal government sees the EUSBSR as a project to be implemented at the level of federal states. This has been proven by the entre for c great activity of three German federal states participating in the strategy (Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein) and at the same time the low level of engagement from the Bundestag, the federal government and expert circles. Furthermore, federal states more often for- NTARy mulate evaluations of the effects of co-operation achieved so far as part of Me the EUSBSR. Still, the relatively low level of Berlin’s engagement does not mean that it is not interested in co-operation in the Baltic region as such. Germany actively participates in the work of such bodies as the Coun- ces cOM cil of the Baltic Sea States or the Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM).

  • Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
    Print Mecklenburg-Vorpommern INFORMATION ABOUT MECKLENBURG-VORPOMMERN Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV) is situated in the very northeast of the country bordering Poland to the east and the Baltic Sea to the north. The ''state of a thousand lakes'' is mainly characterized by its intact nature. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's diversified 350 kilometers-long coastline offers islands like Rügen - the largest German island, Hiddensee and Usedom. Countless nature and landscape reserves and three of Germany's 14 national parks spread through the state. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is often called the ''state of a thousand lakes'', but the nickname is only half correct. The state actually has over 2,000 lakes, which - in addition to countless castles, stunning Hanseatic coastline towns with white cliffs and beaches, and excellent ferry facilities - make tourism the state's main industry. MV's over 350 km of Baltic Sea coastline attract other industries, too. Over the last 10 years, more than EUR 500 million have been invested in MV's shipyards and harbor infrastructure, making MV one of Northern Europe's premier regions for shipbuilding and maritime trade. Using MV's top-of-the-line port infrastructure and modernized transportation infrastructure, businesses also take advantage of the state's prime location between Eastern Europe and Scandinavia and its proximity to Central Europe's two largest cities, Hamburg and Berlin. Other significant industries in MV include lumber, logistics, agriculture, food processing, and the service sector. These and other industries also benefit from the fact that MV offers some of the highest investment incentives in the EU. MV also boasts centuries-old universities and a host of highly innovative R&D enterprises, which have made it a dynamic region in high-technology, biotechnology, and medical technology.
