Was ist nicht alles kritisiert worden! In einer Reihe von Debatten haben wir deutlich gemacht: Wir haben uns mehr erwartet. In einigen Punkten wären in der Tat weiter gehende Änderungen notwendig gewesen. (Zuruf von der F.D.P.: Ja!) Aber bei aller Kritik dürfen wir doch nicht das große Ziel aus den Augen verlieren. Es geht um die Einigung unseres Kontinents in Frieden und Demokratie. Welche Perspektive für diesen Kontinent! Welche Perspektive für seine Menschen! Welche Perspektive aber auch für unser Land! (Beifall bei der SPD und dem BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN) Meine sehr verehrten Damen und Herren, in Maastricht und in Amsterdam standen die institutionellen Reformen bereits auf der Tagesordnung. Diese Regierungskonferenzen haben darauf keine Antworten gefunden; sie sind daran gescheitert. In Nizza haben die Staats- und Regierungschefs eine Lösung gefunden. Schon deshalb ist Nizza bei aller sicher berechtigten Kritik ein Erfolg. Sechs Monate nach Nizza ist es an der Zeit, eine nüchterne Bilanz zu ziehen. Dies wird offensichtlich auch dem Europäischen Parlament immer bewusster und wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, ist sogar die F.D.P.

EUSA Boyleschuenemann April 15
The Malleable Politics of Activation Reform: the‘Hartz’ Reforms in Comparative Perspective Nigel Boyle[[email protected]] and Wolf Schünemann [[email protected]] Paper for 2009 EUSA Biennial Conference, April 25, Los Angeles. Abstract In this paper we compare the Hartz reforms in Germany with three other major labor market activation reforms carried out by center-left governments. Two of the cases, Britain and Germany, involved radically neoliberal “mandatory” activation policies, whereas in the Netherlands and Ireland radical activation change took a very different “enabling” form. Two of the cases, Ireland and Germany, were path deviant, Britain and the Netherlands were path dependent. We explain why Germany underwent “mandatory” and path deviant activation by focusing on two features of the policy discourse. First, the coordinative (or elite level) discourse was “ensilaged” sealing policy formation off from dissenting actors and, until belatedly unwrapped for enactment, from the wider communicative (legitimating) discourse. This is what the British and German cases had in common and the result was reform that viewed long term unemployment as personal failure rather than market failure. Second, although the German policy-making system lacked the “authoritative” features that facilitated reform in the British case, and the Irish policy- making system lacked the “reflexive” mechanisms that facilitated reform in the Dutch case, in both Germany and Ireland the communicative discourses were reshaped by novel institutional vehicles (the Hartz Commission in the German case, FÁS in the Irish case) that served to fundamentally alter system- constitutive perceptions about policy. In the Irish and German cases “government by commission” created a realignment of advocacy coalitions with one coalition acquiring a new, ideologically-dominant and path deviating narrative.

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.

RECRUITMENT TO LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN THE GERMAN BUNDESTAG, 1994-2006 by Melanie Kintz A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science Advisor: Emily Hauptmann, Ph.D. Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan December 2011 RECRUITMENT TO LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN THE GERMAN BUNDESTAG, 1994-2006 Melanie Kintz, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2011 This dissertation looks at the recruitment patterns to leadership positions in the German Bundestag from 1994 to 2006 with the objective of enhancing understanding of legislative careers and representation theory. Most research on political careers thus far has focused on who is elected to parliament, rather than on which legislators attain leadership positions. However, leadership positions within the parliament often come with special privileges and can serve as stepping stones to higher positions on the executive level.

The Politics of the Nazi Past in Germany and Austria
P1: JZZ 0521856833pre CUNY200B/Art 0521856833 October 7, 2005 21:45 This page intentionally left blank P1: JZZ 0521856833pre CUNY200B/Art 0521856833 October 7, 2005 21:45 The Politics of the Nazi Past in Germany and Austria This book argues that Germans and Austrians have dealt with the Nazi past very differently and that these differences have had important con- sequences for political culture and partisan politics in the two countries. Drawing on different literatures in political science, David Art builds a framework for understanding how public deliberation transforms the political environment in which it occurs. The book analyzes how public debates about the “lessons of history” created a culture of contrition in Germany that prevented a resurgent far right from consolidating itself in German politics after uniﬁcation. By contrast, public debates in Austria nourished a culture of victimization that provided a hospitable environ- ment for the rise of right-wing populism. The argument is supported by evidence from nearly 200 semistructured interviews and an analysis of the German and Austrian print media over a twenty-year period. David Art is an assistant professor of political science at the College of the Holy Cross. He teaches courses in European politics, international relations, and globalization. He received his B.A. from Yale University and his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His cur- rent research focuses on the development of right-wing populist parties in comparative and historical perspective. i P1:
