  • German History Intersections
    Manifesto of the “Berlin Circle” (May 11, 2016) Abstract In a new position paper by the conservative Berlin Circle within the CDU, 15 politicians demand a change of course from Angela Merkel. According to them, it was important to prevent another “drift to the left” within the CDU. It also addresses relations with Turkey and Germany’s refugee policy. Source I. After the catastrophic election results for the CDU on 13 March 2016, especially in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, to continue like this will lead to the loss of more votes in the future. A ruthless, honest, and self-critical analysis was and remains necessary! Those who gloss over the election results misjudge the difficult situation in which the party finds itself and give the impression that they do not want to draw the resulting political consequences – or even seriously discuss them. The historically worst results in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, which once were the CDU's strongholds, are bitter for the entire party and represent its most serious setback to date. The causes are not only to be found in refugee policy, but also in the fact that the CDU, with its socio-political course, has created space for a party to the right of it. The election result is a dramatic continuation of a downward trend that has been emerging for several years. The CDU has lost half a dozen state governments (in Thuringia, Baden-Württemberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Hamburg and North Rhine-Westphalia) without regaining a single position or even winning a new one.

  • Who Is Who in Impeding Climate Protection
    Who is Who in Impeding Climate Protection Links between politics and the energy industry The short route to climate collapse The UK meteorological offi ce forecast at the very beginning of the year that 2007 would be the warmest year since weather records began being made. The scientists there estimated that the global average temperature would be 0.54 degrees above the 14 degree average experienced over many years. The record so far, an average of 14.52 degrees, is held by 1998. 2005, which was similarly warm, went into the meteorologists’ record books on reaching an average of 14.65 degrees in the northern hemisphere. Findings made by the German meteorological service also confi rm the atmosphere to be warming. Shortly before the beginning of 2007 the service reported that the year 2006 had been one of the warmest years since weather records began being made in 1901, and the month of July had been the hottest ever since then. An average of 9.5 degrees was 1.3 degrees Celsius above the long-term average of 8.2 degrees. International climate experts are agreed that the global rise in temperature must stay below two degrees Celsius if the effects of climate change are to remain controllable. But the time corridor for the effective reduction of greenhouse gases damaging to the climate is getting narrower and narrower. In the last century already the Earth’s average temperature rose by 0.8 degrees. The experts in the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change anticipate a further rise of up to 6.4 degrees by 2100.

  • Kalten Progression Fordern
    Panorama Nr. 780 vom 08.05.2014 Kalte Progression: leere Versprechen der Politik Anmoderation Anja Reschke: Wenn ihr Chef freudig verkündet: Du ich hab eine Lohnerhöhung für Dich – nur ‘ne kleine, aber damit ist immerhin die Inflation ausgeglichen – dann sollten Sie besser sagen: Nee Chef, nein danke. Denn wenn Sie die nehmen, haben Sie wahrscheinlich nachher weniger in der Tasche als vorher. Kalte Progression nennt man das. Diese Ungerechtigkeit ist seit Jahren bekannt. Man könnte sie abschaffen. Fordert auch mal der eine, mal der andere Politiker. Aber überlegen Sie mal: 19 Milliarden Euro mehr Steuereinnahmen in den nächsten Jahren – hat die Steuerschätzung heute ergeben. Wodurch kommen die wohl auch zustande? Durch die kalte Progression. Wieso also abschaffen? Aber fordern kann man das als Politiker ja immer mal – macht sich doch gut. Ben Bolz Nennen wir ihn Thorsten (Animation). Thorsten arbeitet hart und verdient nicht schlecht – so um die 5000 Euro. Wenn er dieser Tage Fernsehen schaut, kann er Politikern kaum noch glauben, wenn sie die Abschaffung der Kalten Progression fordern. O-Ton Christian von Stetten, CDU, 23.04.2014: „Weil es was mit Leistung zu tun hat, Leistung auch für die Mittelschicht, für die, die sich eine Lohnerhöhung verdient haben.“ O-Ton Johannes Kahrs, SPD, 23.04.2014: „Die SPD will die Kalte Progression auch reduzieren und abschaffen.“ Die Forderung gibt es nämlich schon lange - genau genommen seit 2008 – als zahlreiche Medien die Kalte Progression zum Thema machten. O-Ton Anja Reschke, Panorama, 27.03.2008: „Die Mittelschicht muss bluten. Seit Jahren wird sie vor allem steuerlich ausgenommen. Wundern Sie sich also nicht, wenn das Geld irgendwie nicht reicht.“ Und plötzlich wurde die Politik zum Anwalt des ausgenommenen Steuerzahlers.

  • Master Thesis European Integration in Energy Policy – a Hot Issue In
    Master thesis European Integration in Energy Policy – A Hot Issue in Parliament? A Case Study of Politicization of EU Energy Policy in the German Bundestag 2014-2019 Daan van Dijk 6536778 Dr. Paschalis Pechlivanis Utrecht University January 15, 2020. Key words: EU Energy Policy; European Integration; Energy Union; Politicization; Bundestag; Germany Word count (excl. abstract, notes and references): 14,912 Abstract From 2014 onwards, European integration in energy policy has been given new impetus with the Energy Union initiative, which further integrates EU policy domains aimed at the security- of-supply of energy, energy sustainability and an internal market for energy. This study approaches the political dimension of EU energy policy by analysing whether recent EU decision- making in energy policy from February 2014 to May 2019 has been politicized in the setting of the national parliament of Germany. The concept of politicization depicts the degree to which decision-making is discussed collectively and publicly and involves issue salience and polarization of opinions. Given the high interest of Germany in EU energy policy, European integration in energy policy is expected to matter for the Bundestag to discuss upon publicly and collectively. On the basis of minutes of the plenary and other parliamentary correspondence of the Bundestag archives, this study reconstructs the Bundestag debate on EU energy policy and sets out the politicization strategies of the German political parties that were involved in the debate. Based upon the analysis, this study concludes that European integration in energy policy from 2014 to 2019 has not been politicized in the context of the Bundestag.
