It situates this case study in the framework of a set of analytical perspectives about policy change derived from public policy theory, arguing that public policy theory has either underestimated policy leadership or failed to discriminate different leadership roles, styles and strategies. The author rejects the dominant contextualist and culturalist approach to leadership in studies of German defence and security policy in favour of an interactionist approach that stresses the dialectical interaction between policy skills and strategic context. The case study also shifts the focus in studies of policy leadership in Germany away from a preoccupation with the Chancellor to the role of ministerial and administrative leadership within the core executive. The thesis illustrates the strongly self-referential nature of Bundeswehr reform, despite adaptational pressures from Europeanisation and ‘NATO-isation’, and the domestic politics of base closures. It also shows how domestic macro-political arrangements predispose leadership roles in German defence and security policy towards brokerage and veto playing rather than towards entrepreneurship.

Many officials, politicians and policy experts have discussed German defence and security policy with me over the last four years. I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of time given to me and the information many have divulged. A number of people have also taken the time to discuss ideas and comment on drafts of my thesis, including Stephan Boeckenforde, Alrun Deutschmann, Vessilin Dimitrov, Kenneth Dyson, Jonathan Grix, Adrian Hyde-Price, Werner Jann, Klaus Larres, Claudio Radaelli, Thomas Risse and Graham Timmins. I would like to thank my PhD supervisors, Klaus Goetz and William Wallace for their invaluable support and encouragement. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff and students of the Government Department of the London School of Economics for helping fashion such a collegial research environment. I am very grateful to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for my PhD scholarship and the Deutsche Academische Austausch Dienst (DAAD) for granting me a short-term research scholarship form January-March 2004. Several institutions provided crucial support during my fieldwork. I would like to thank the staff of the SPD Archive at the Willy Brandt House who made me feel very welcome and whose helpfulness has made a significant contribution to the empirical richness of this thesis. I would also like to thank Margit Hellwig-Botte and Axel Schneider of the SPD, Michael Alvarez of the Heinrich Boll Stiftung and Thomas Schiller of the CDU/CSU for their help upon my arrival in Berlin by putting me in contact with so many interesting interview partners. I am also very grateful for the opportunity given to me by Werner Jann of Potsdam University to base my DAAD research grant at the Department of Political Science at Potsdam which was a very stimulating environment from which to conduct my research. 8 My family has provided fantastic support. I owe a special debt to my parents, Ann and Kenneth Dyson and brother Charles who have encouraged me throughout my studies and have been an unfailing source of support, inspiration and love. Charles has always been there for me and has helped me keep a healthy sense of perspective about my work, something absolutely vital during a PhD.

The research also seeks to improve upon what is identified as a dominant constructivist approach to German defence and security policy by developing an interactionist approach, stressing the dialectical interaction between policy skills and strategic context. Hence the thesis will attempt to make original conceptual and empirical contributions to several fields of study within political science - to theoretical work on German defence and security policy, public policy theory, leadership studies and Europeanisation.

Nicholas Ziegler Revised October 1997 WP# 3880 Sloan School of Management Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, E52-581 Cambridge, MA 02142-1347 tel. 617-253-3698 fax 617-253-2660 [email protected] The privatization of public service companies offers an excellent case for assessing pressures for institutional convergence versus the staying power of distinctive national economic institutions in the advanced industrial countries. This paper examines the privatization of Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom in order to see whether changes in enterprise ownership reflect a process of convergence in the rules of coiporate governance. While the outward form of privatization in Germany looks quite similar to privatization in Britain and the United States, these two cases show little evidence that the change in ownership is driving any formal changes in corporate governance. If anything, German financial institutions and trade unions continue to exercise distinctive roles that rest on their historical positions in the German economy.

  • 6Th London Chess Classic (6-14 December 2014)
    6TH LONDON CHESS CLASSIC (6-14 DECEMBER 2014) CLASSIC ROUND 4: 14 DECEMBER 2014 YOU’VE JUST BEEN SPACEBARRED With one round to go (starting at 2pm on Sunday), the Classic is nicely poised with five of the six players still able to finish first. Round four featured just the one decisive result, with Hikaru Nakamura beating Mickey Adams, which makes the scores as follows: Kramnik and Giri 6, Nakamura 5, Anand and Adams 4, Caruana 3. One of the great things about an international chess tournament is the exchange of ideas between people from different countries and cultures. From the beginning, the London Chess Classic has placed a great deal of importance on invitees putting in as positive a performance in the commentary room as they do at the board. Top chessplayers are highly intelligent people and have quickly realised that their livelihood depends as much on their ability to communicate as to play good moves. Consequently we now have a young generation of players with the confidence to innovate off the board linguistically as well as on it. Not just those who have English as their first language, either. It’s gratifying for us native Brits to have our language adopted worldwide as the first language of chess, but perhaps a bit scary too. As with our other notable export, football, where we have had to learn to endure other countries playing it a lot better than we do, we now have to live with people from non-English speaking countries being more articulate and creative in English than we are.

In October 1969, Bonn’s Christian Democrat-led “grand coalition” was replaced by an alliance of Social Democrats (SPD) and Free Democrats (FDP) led by Chancellor Willy Brandt that held a sixteen-seat majority in the West German parliament. Not only were the leaders of the CDU caught by surprise, but so, too, were many in the U.S. government. Presi- dent Richard Nixon had to take back the premature message of congratu- lations extended to Chancellor Kiesinger early on election night. “The worst tragedy,” Henry Kissinger concluded on June 16, 1971, in a con- versation with Nixon, “is that election in ’69. If this National Party, that extreme right wing party, had got three-tenths of one percent more, the Christian Democrats would be in office now.”1 American administrations and their embassy in Bonn had cultivated a close relationship with the leaders of the governing CDU/CSU for many years.

  • Beyond Social Democracy in West Germany?
    BEYOND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY IN WEST GERMANY? William Graf I The theme of transcending, bypassing, revising, reinvigorating or otherwise raising German Social Democracy to a higher level recurs throughout the party's century-and-a-quarter history. Figures such as Luxemburg, Hilferding, Liebknecht-as well as Lassalle, Kautsky and Bernstein-recall prolonged, intensive intra-party debates about the desirable relationship between the party and the capitalist state, the sources of its mass support, and the strategy and tactics best suited to accomplishing socialism. Although the post-1945 SPD has in many ways replicated these controversies surrounding the limits and prospects of Social Democracy, it has not reproduced the Left-Right dimension, the fundamental lines of political discourse that characterised the party before 1933 and indeed, in exile or underground during the Third Reich. The crucial difference between then and now is that during the Second Reich and Weimar Republic, any significant shift to the right on the part of the SPD leader- ship,' such as the parliamentary party's approval of war credits in 1914, its truck under Ebert with the reactionary forces, its periodic lapses into 'parliamentary opportunism' or the right rump's acceptance of Hitler's Enabling Law in 1933, would be countered and challenged at every step by the Left. The success of the USPD, the rise of the Spartacus move- ment, and the consistent increase in the KPD's mass following throughout the Weimar era were all concrete and determined reactions to deficiences or revisions in Social Democratic praxis. Since 1945, however, the dynamics of Social Democracy have changed considerably.

  • Otfried Nassauer * 20
    Wir nehmen Abschied von unserem Freund, Kollegen und Mitstreiter Otfried Nassauer * 20. August 1956 † 1. Oktober 2020 Otfried Nassauer war seit 1991 Leiter des Berliner Informationszentrums für Transatlantische Sicherheit (BITS) und hat über viele Ländergrenzen hinweg tragfähige friedenspolitische Netzwerke aufgebaut. Als Experte für strategische Fragen, Waffensysteme und Rüstungskontrolle war er mit seinem fundierten Wissen ein äußerst gefragter Ratgeber der Friedensbewegung, der Medien, der Kirchen und der Politik, aber auch ein sehr respektierter Gesprächspartner von Vertretern der Bundeswehr. Großzügig stellte er sein umfassendes Wissen, seine Recherche-Ergebnisse und seine Artikel zur Verfügung, wenn es darum ging, in der Öffentlichkeit den Argumenten für Abrüstung und gegen weitere Aufrüstung und Krieg breiteres Gehör zu verschaffen. Sein profundes Detailwissen war immer hilfreich, aber auch herausfordernd und zum Weiterdenken anregend. Seine Erkenntnisse sind jahrzehntelang in unzählige fachwissenschaftliche und publizistische Beiträge eingeflossen. Für die Friedensbewegung war seine © Wolfang Borrs Arbeit von herausragender Bedeutung. Aus Otfrieds Studien und Untersuchungen ergaben sich oftmals konkrete friedenspolitische Forderungen und Aktionen. Das Ziel einer friedlicheren Welt spornte ihn in seinem Engagement an.
