The Arab Spring has not only affected the well-established structures in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) but became also a touchstone for the German and French foreign policy. A lasting three-year transformation process turned out to be an unpredictable factor for the traditional German and French foreign policy principles within a novel geopolitical environment. In this respect, this study deals with the comparative foreign policy analysis of Germany and France with regard to the transformations in the MENA since 2011. Analaysis is done on the basis of constructivist role theory in connection with the Civilian Power concept. Major interest of this study is dedicated to the analysis of the foreign policy repertoire and identity of Germany and France towards the transition countries in North Africa. A question is to be answered if the challenges provoke continuity or change.
Katharina Ledermacher, Ende Dreißig, geschieden, eine Tochter lebt beim Ex-Ehemann, arbeitet nicht wie weibliche Polizisten sonst in der Abteilung »Sitte« oder »Jugend«, sondern als Kriminalkommissarin bei der West-Berliner Polizei, Referat »Tötung«. Katharina Ledermacher ist besessen von ihrem Beruf. Als eines Tages am Ufer des Lietzensees ein alter Mann mit eingeschlagenem Kopf aufgefunden wird, ergibt die Autopsie einen merkwürdigen Befund: Im Magen des minderbemittelten Rentners befinden sich Champagner, Hummer und Kaviar. Bei ihren Ermittlungen trifft die »Ledermacherin« auf gesellschaftliche Randgruppen – die Rockerbande »Luzifers Lieblinge«, die vermummt in gestohlenen Autos herumrast und Überfälle macht, merkwürdiger noch: auf recht rüstige Insassen eines Altersheims, die trostloses Heimdasein gegen eine illegale dolce vita auf eigene Faust vertauschen, und auf andere skurrile Typen des Berliner Milljöhs. Die Kriminalkommissarin Katharina Ledermacher, Überraschungen gewohnt, stößt bei ihrer Suche nach dem Mörder auf immer unglaublichere Tatsachen. Dieser Kriminalroman wurde 1978 vom Deutschen Fernsehen verfilmt.

Microorganisms have had a long and surprising history. They were “invisible” until invention of microscope in the 17th century. Until that date, although they were extensively (but inconsciously) employed in food preservation, beer and wine fermentation, cheese, vinegar, yogurt and bread making, as well as being the causative agents of infectious diseases, they were considered as “not-existing”. The work of Pasteur in the middle of the 19th century revealed several biological activities performed by microorganisms including fermentations and pathogenicity. Due to the urgent issue to treat infectious diseases (the main cause of death at those times) the “positive potential” of the...
