It consists of historians of the European Union member countries, who have specialized in contemporary history. The Liaison Committee: – gathers and conveys information about works on European history after the Second World War; – advises the European Union in the matter of scientific projects to be carried through. Thus, the Liaison Committee was commissioned to make publicly available the archives of the Community institutions; – enables researchers to make better use of the archival sources; – promotes scientific meetings in order to get an update of the acquired knowledge and to stimulate new research: five research conferences have been organized and their proceedings published, a sixth conference will take place in Oxford in 1996, the seventh conference will be organized in Rome in 1997. The Journal of European History – Revue d’histoire de l’intégration européenne – Zeitschrift für Geschichte der europäischen Integration is totally in line with the preoccupations of the Liaison Com- mittee. Being the first journal of history to deal exclusively with the history of European Integration, the Journal intends to offer the increasing number of young historians devoting their research to con- temporary Europe, a permanent forum. At the same time, the Liaison Committee publishes the Newsletter of the European Community Liaison Committee of Historians and of the Jean Monnet Chairs in History of European Integration. The Newsletter publishes in particular an important current bibliography of theses and dissertations, books and articles dealing with European integration and presents the syllabuses of research institutes and centres in the field of European history. The Liaison Committee is supported by the European Commission and works completely independ- ently and according to the historians’ critical method. ❋ Le Groupe de liaison des professeurs d’histoire auprès de la Commission des Communautés européennes s’est constitué en 1982 à la suite d’un grand colloque que la Commission avait organisé à Luxembourg pour lancer la recherche historique sur la construction européenne. Il regroupe des profes- seurs d’université des pays membres de l’Union européenne, spécialistes d’histoire contemporaine. Le Groupe de liaison a pour mission: – de diffuser l’information sur les travaux portant sur l’histoire de l’Europe après la Seconde Guerre mondiale; – de conseiller l’Union européenne sur les actions scientifiques à entreprendre avec son appui; ainsi le Groupe de liaison a assuré une mission concernant la mise à la disposition du public des archi- ves des institutions communautaires; – d’aider à une meilleure utilisation par les chercheurs des moyens de recherche mis à leur disposi- tion (archives, sources orales...); – d’encourager des rencontres scientifiques afin de faire le point sur les connaissances acquises et de susciter de nouvelles recherches: cinq grands colloques ont été organisés et leurs actes publiés, un sixième colloque aura lieu à Oxford en 1996, un septième à Rome en 1997. L’édition du Journal of European Integration History – Revue d’histoire de l’intégration européenne – Zeitschrift für Geschichte der europäischen Integration se situe dans le droit fil des préoccupations du Groupe de liaison. Première revue d’histoire à se consacrer exclusivement à l’histoire de la construc- tion européenne, le Journal se propose de fournir un forum permanent au nombre croissant de jeunes historiens vouant leurs recherches à l’Europe contemporaine. Parallèlement le Groupe de liaison édite la Lettre d’information du Groupe de liaison des profes- seurs d’histoire auprès de la Commission européenne et du réseau des Chaires Jean Monnet en his- toire de l’Intégration. La Lettre d’information publie notamment une importante bibliographie courante des thèses et mémoires, livres et articles consacrés à la construction européenne et présente les programmes des instituts et centres de recherche en matière d’histoire européenne. Le Groupe de liaison bénéficie du soutien de la Commission européenne. Ses colloques et publica- tions se font en toute indépendance et conformément à la méthode critique qui est celle des historiens.

  • Heinrich Lübke (1894-1972)
    Das Porträt HEINRICH LÜBKE (1894-1972) Von Rudolf Morsey I. Die in wenigen Artikeln unseres Grundgesetzes 1 fixierten Rechte und Pflichten des Bundespräsidenten hat Theodor Heuss zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit 1949 als dürres "Paragra­ phengespinst" bezeichnet; es müsse mit Leben - in den Worten von Heuss: "mit einem Men­ schentum" - gefüllt werden. 2 Diese Aufgabe haben die bisherigen sechs Amtsinhaber auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise erfüllt. Jeder von ihnen setzte andere, eigene Akzente, aber nur einer war bestrebt, von vornherein die Grenzen dieses Amtes zu sprengen: Heinrich Lübke. Entsprechende Ansätze in dieser Richtung riefen damals wie später Kritiker auf den Plan , Publizisten und Wissenschaftler. Jeder Staatsrechtslehrer hat sich irgendwann einmal auch über Amt und Kompetenzen , über "Sinn" und Grenzen des Verfassungsorgans Bundespräsi• dent geäußert. Das geschah überwiegend im Sinne einer Tradierung jenes Hindenburg­ Komplexes, der die Schöpfer des Grundgesetzes begleitet hatte. Sie vermachten 1949 der Bundesrepublik Deutschland eine stumpfe und keine "stählerne Spitze". Ein Staatsrechtier allerdings schätzte die Einflußmöglichkeiten des Staatsoberhaupts anders ein: Denn diese - so diagnostizierte er 1970 - "beruhen nur zum geringsten Teil auf verfassungsrechtlichen Befugnissen und sind noch seltener verfassungsrechtlich sanktioniert. Häufig beruhen sie einfach auf der selbstverständlichen Autorität seines Amtes, die er, wenn die Bundesversammlung bei seiner Wahl gut beraten ist, durch die Autorität einer integren und allgemein

From Enemies to Friends – Political Culture and History in the Nordic Countries1 Uffe Østergård The Nordic countries are normally seen as small, peaceful and egalitarian democracies, internationally oriented and strong supporters of law and order among the nations of the world. There is some truth to this conventional wisdom but it does not cover the whole picture. Or rather, there are some backdrops to the total reliance on the principle of national self-determination in sovereign states which have to be taken into account when evaluating the positive sides of the political culture in this northern part of Europe (cf.

  • Rethinking the Rise of the German Constitutional Court: from Anti
    Rethinking the Rise of the German Constitutional Court: From Anti-Nazism to Value Formalism Michaela Hailbronner∗ The German Constitutional Court, we often hear, draws its considerable strength from the reaction to the German Nazi past: Because the Nazis abused rights and had been elected by the people, the argument runs, it was necessary to create a strong Court to guard these rights in the future. This contribution proceeds in two steps. First, it sets out to show that this “Nazi thesis” provides an inadequate explanation for the Court’s authority and rise. The German framers did not envisage a strong, rights-protecting, counter-majoritarian court. Even where the Nazi thesis does find some application during the transitional 1950s and 1960s, its role is more complicated and limited than its proponents assume. In the second part, this paper offers an alternative way of making sense of the German Court’s rise to power. Against a comparative background, I argue that the German Court’s success is best understood as a combination between a (weak) version of transformative constitutionalism and a hierarchical legal culture with a strong emphasis on a scientific conception of law and expertise. The Court could tap into the resources of legitimacy available in this culture by formalizing its early transformative decisions, producing its own particular style, ‘Value Formalism’. Value Formalism, however, comes with costs, most notably an interpretive monopoly of lawyers shutting out other voices from constitutional interpretation. ∗ Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and Public International Law, LL.M. and J.S.D.

  • Förderalistische Politik in Der CDU/CSU. Die
    WOLFGANG BENZ FÖDERALISTISCHE POLITIK IN DER CDU/CSU DIE VERFASSUNGSDISKUSSION IM „ELLWANGER KREIS" 1947/48 Nach dem Zusammenbruch des wilhelminischen Reichs beschäftigte sich im De­ zember 1918 eine Expertenkommission unter dem Vorsitz von Hugo Preuß in Berlin mit dem Entwurf einer neuen Reichsverfassung. Wenig später setzten sich in Stuttgart die Regierungschefs und Minister der süddeutschen Länder zu­ sammen, um ihrerseits zu beraten, wie das Schlimmste zu verhindern sei, nämlich eine zentralistische Verfassungsordnung des Deutschen Reiches, auf die die Ber­ liner Bemühungen ihrer Meinung nach zwangsläufig hinauslaufen würden. Die Entstehungsgeschichte der Weimarer Verfassung stand dann auch im Zeichen des Widerstreits zwischen Föderalismus und Zentralismus1. Auf der einen Seite wurde mit dem Prinzip der Volkssouveränität argumentiert, mit Blick auf eine verfas­ sunggebende Nationalversammlung, auf ein möglichst omnipotentes zentrales Parlament und auf eine starke Reichsexekutive, auf der Gegenseite wurde der Grundsatz der Eigenstaatlichkeit der Länder zäh verteidigt: Dem Gesamtstaat sollten nur die notwendigsten Souveränitätsrechte für Legislative und Exekutive übertragen werden. Diese Antagonie zeigte sich während der ganzen Weimarer Zeit am deutlichsten in den Streitigkeiten zwischen Bayern und dem Reich. Zieht man jedoch ab, was dem Konto des partikularen Egozentrismus der bayerischen Regierungen — von Eisner bis Held — speziell anzulasten war, so blieb ein beacht­ licher Grundsatz-Dissens zwischen der föderal-gouvernementalistischen

  • Structural Change and Democratization of Schleswig-Holstein’S Agriculture, 1945-1973
    STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND DEMOCRATIZATION OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN’S AGRICULTURE, 1945-1973. George Gerolimatos A Dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Konrad Jarausch Terence McIntosh Donald Raleigh © 2014 George Gerolimatos ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT George Gerolimatos: Structural Change and Democratization of Schleswig-Holstein’s Agriculture, 1945-1973 (Under the direction of Christopher Browning) This dissertation investigates the economic and political transformation of agriculture in Schleswig-Holstein after 1945. The Federal Republic’s economic boom smoothed the political transition from the National Socialism to British occupation to democracy in West Germany. Democracy was more palatable to farmers in Schleswig-Holstein than it had been during the economic uncertainty and upheaval of the Weimar Republic. At that time, farmers in Schleswig- Holstein resorted to political extremism, such as support for the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi). Although farmers underwent economic hardship after 1945 to adjust to globalization, modernization and European integration, they realized that radical right-wing politics would not solve their problems. Instead, farmers realized that political parties like the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) represented their interests. Farmers in Schleswig-Holstein felt part of the political fabric of the Federal Republic. One of the key economic changes I investigate is the increased use of machines, such as threshers, tractors, and milking machines. My main finding was that agriculture went from a labor- to capital-intensive business.
