Directory of foreign diplomatic officers in Washington.
Revolutionary changes in global and European politics have reawakened old fears that Europe will be dominated by an unpredictable German giant. The same changes have fueled new hopes for Germany and Europe as models of political pluralism in a peaceful and prosperous world. In fact, Peter J. Katzenstein explains, the current reality is too complex to fit either expectation. Katzenstein contends that a multilateral institutionalization of power is the most distinctive aspect of the relationship between Europe and Germany. Only the observer who is aware of this important fact can understand why Germany is willing to give up its new sovereign power. Although Germany is larger than any other member of the European Union and plays a crucial role in the economic and political life of Eastern Europe, its power is now funneled through the institutions of the European Union rather than erupting in a narrow, power-defined sense of national self-interest. The empirical chapters of this book explore the institutionalization of power relations between the European Union and Germany, as well as the relations of Germany and the European Union with most of the smaller European states.

Drawing from a case study of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico , this work analyses the connection between political processes and change in higher education. The author explains that while there are increasing demands these have not produced rapid responses from the university and tries to understand why this lack of response has generated internal and external tensions and conflictive dynamics.
Los estudios internacionales han cobrado un interés inusitado en los últimos años. La Transición española, que cuenta ya con una importante historiografía, sigue pendiente, sin embargo, de completar el tratamiento de la parcela exterior, un asunto que ha pasado a ser tema estrella después de años de casi invisibilidad. La cronología del periodo está condicionada por la Transición exterior, que no se culminaría hasta la normalización diplomática española con la incorporación a las Comunidades Europeas y la integración en la Alianza Atlántica. Todo ello fue posible después de que los primeros Gobiernos democráticos reforzaran el peso internacional del Estado, modernizaran la acción exterior y desarrollaran una nueva diplomacia estructural pragmática, realista y multilateral. Por desgracia, la historiografía española sobre las relaciones España-Francia ha sido víctima de una preeminencia casi estructural de las lecturas en clave nacional, lo que esta publicación pretende contribuir a cambiar. La atención al caso francés viene dada por la enorme importancia que el vecino del norte jugó en aquel orden internacional con el que se puso fin a la guerra fría.
