The New Germany
"The New Germany" offers a selected overview focusing on the most important issues of Germany's post-war history (1945-2010), its socio-economic and political system, and foreign relations of today's united Germany/Federal Repub-lic of Germany. The book combines the description of institutions and policies/politics with the discussion about basic principles and ideas of the German socio-economic model, and its understanding of modern democracy and good governance. Its extensive part on foreign relations presents an overview on German foreign, security, European, and development policies as well as on Germany's relations to its neighbors France and Poland, the U.S. and Russia. The book serves as a general introduction, overview, and background information about today's Germany; it offers facts, graphs, statistics, and photographs to the specific subjects and discusses its underlying political problems. It aims at English-speaking non-German readers in universities, politics, media etc. and serves teaching in German Studies, Comparative Politics, and International Relations/Foreign Policy.
Nachdenken über Europa
Quo vadis EU? Die Zukunftsaussichten des Projekts Europa stellen sich sehr ambivalent dar, wie der Band belegt. Die EU befindet sich in einer Identitatskrise zwischen Vertiefung und Erweiterung, in der sowohl die Zukunft der politischen Integration als auch die Frage ihrer Grenzen ungelost ist. Im Auaenverhaltnis sieht sich die EU mit ihrem multilateralen Ansatz einer global governance, dem konkurrierenden Ordnungsmodell einer multipolaren Welt(un)ordnung, gegenuber.
Asia and Europe
This book provides a broad in-depth discussion of the various topics, facets, and dynamics of both intraregional and interregional dialogues in Asia and Europe. The book begins with theoretical and methodological reflections on regionalization and interregionalism. The discussion then examines the patterns of relations before addressing specific aspects and challenges in and between both regions. By bringing together scholars from Asia and Europe, this volume explores the chances and possible limits in regionalization processes and in interregional cooperation, and shows that, despite existing difficulties, Europe and Asia have a broad common agenda of issues to follow and to solve. This publication is the fifth volume of the book series from the research and cooperation project EU - Network of European Studies Centres in Asia (NESCA): A Research Dialogue, funded within the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission.
Central Asia Today
This collection of descriptions and analyses from scholars from Central Asia, Xinjiang, Kashmir, and Siberia gives first a general overview about the geopolitics, economics, and politics of the Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgizstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) plus a details description of their foreign policy towards their neighborhood, the region, and the further abroad (Russia, India, China). This is complemented by studies on the relations between Central Asia on the one side and China, India, and Russia on the other hand. Secondly, the history, problems, and pers-pectives of the Central Asian regionalization and trans-regional (SCO, OSCE) process is discussed and evaluated. Third, problems such as Islamism in Central Asia are studied. The book is not only a coherent handbook on Central Asia but presents the views of the academic generation of the newly independent Central Asian countries. It gives a comprehensive overview about foreign policies and Central Asian relations with the big neighbors China, Russia, and India as well as a differentiated discussion on the regionalization process.

States, Regions and the Global System
This volume combines theoretical-methodological studies and systematic as well as empirical contributions on regional, interregional, and global aspects of regionalisation in Europe and Asia as well as empirical analyses of foreign policies of countries in the northern Asian-Pacific region, including Rus-sia. In order to provide a comprehensive insight, this book presents studies focussing on political dy-namics and relations, on economic cooperation and integration, on security questions (both in a nar-row and in a wider sense) as well as on issues of cultural, political, and historical understanding and identity-building. By bringing together contributions from academics from different Asian and European countries and universities, the volume contributes to the joint and ongoing debate about the challenges or even adventures of regional and interregional cooperation and integration.
