  • Between Reformstau and Modernisierung: the Reform Of
    Between Reformstau and Modernisierung: The Reform of German Federalism since Unification Gunther M. Hega Department of Political Science Western Michigan University 1903 W. Michigan Avenue Kalamazoo, MI 49008-5346 E-mail: [email protected] 1. Draft -- October 22, 2003 Please do not quote without the author’s permission Paper to be presented at the Conference on “Europeanization and Integration” EU Center of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, October 24 – 25, 2003 Abstract: Between Reformstau and Modernisierung: The Reform of German Federalism since Unification This paper examines the changes of the German federal system and the role of the 16 states (Länder) in national politics and policy-making in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1990. In particular, the study focuses on the response of the German Federal Council (Bundesrat), the chamber of the national parliament which represents the Länder, to the processes of German unification and European integration in the last decade. The paper starts from the assumption that the Federal Council has been the chief beneficiary among the Federal Republic's political institutions of the trends toward "unitary federalism" at the domestic level and a "federal Europe" at the international level. Due to the evolution of cooperative federalism with its interlocking policies, the changes in the party system and coalition politics, and, in particular, the twin processes of German unification and European integration, the Bundesrat has gained additional, special powers by assuring the inclusion of the "subsidiarity principle" in both the German Constitution (the Basic Law) and the Maastricht Treaty on European Union. The amended Article 23 of the Basic Law and the Maastricht Treaty's Article 3b strengthen the participation of the Federal Council and the 16 German states in national and European policymaking.

  • German Unity Day: Siemens Art Program Sets a Musical Signal of Understanding with Kick-Off Concerts at the Brandenburg Gate
    Berlin, September 20, 2018 German Unity Day: Siemens Art Program sets a musical signal of understanding with kick-off concerts at the Brandenburg Gate Furtherance of young musicians: Performance by soprano singer Ilkin Alpay (1st prize in the Siemens Opera Contest) and the Berlin New Philharmonic on October 1 Artistic intervention in memory of Mstislav Rostropovich with cellist Daniel Müller-Schott on October 3 German reunification has taught us that great feats can only be accomplished together. "Together" is also the motto of the Siemens Arts Program, for which participation in original creative processes is a guiding principle. With world- renowned artist Daniel Müller-Schott and the winner of the Siemens Opera Contest Turkey, Ilkin Alpay (soprano), the Siemens Arts Program is contributing two musical highlights to this year's festivities surrounding German Unity Day. Siemens is supporting young musicians and will kick off the German Unity celebrations on October 1 with a performance by Ilkin Alpay and the New Philharmonic at the Brandenburg Gate. Alpay, winner of the Turkish Siemens Opera Contest award, will be presenting a range of pieces, including excerpts from the international opera repertoire. A further highlight of the musical program is the performance by renowned cellist Daniel Müller-Schott on October 3 at the #1heit ("unity") concert. Müller-Schott will be commemorating the fall of the Berlin wall with excerpts from Bach's Cello Suite No. 2 – the very piece his teacher, Mstislav Rostropovich, played at Checkpoint Charlie in 1989. The original film recordings of this historic event that took place in October 1989 will be shown live on the stage as an accompaniment.
