Managing Integration
A Migration Policy Institute and Bertelsmann Foundation publication Migration is a worldwide phenomenon, and there is a growing understanding in the international community that no country can manage migration through unilateral policies alone. Europe has received a significant share of the world's migration. Currently, nearly every country in Europe is simultaneously serving as a sending, receiving, and transit country of migration. One of the enlarged EU's biggest tests in the years to come will be how it manages immigration and integration. This volume, edited by Rita Süssmuth and Werner Weidenfield, is a compilation of the most cutting-edge approaches to these issues. In this edition, published jointly in the U.S. by the Migration Policy Institute and the Bertelsmann Foundation, many of Europe's top experts present analyses of the challenges and dilemmas facing policymakers.

The CDU and the Politics of Gender in Germany
This book develops the concept of the corporatist catch-all party to explain how the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has responded to changing demands from women over the past forty years. Otto Kirchheimer's classic study argues that when catch-all parties reach out to new constituencies, they are forced to decrease the involvement of membership to facilitate doctrinal flexibility. In a corporatist catch-all party, however, societal interests are represented within the party organization and policy making is the result of internal party negotiation. Through an investigation of CDU policy making in the issue areas of abortion policy, work-family policy, and participation policy, this book demonstrates that sometimes the CDU mobilizes rather than disempowers membership. An important lesson of this study is that a political party need not sacrifice internal democracy and ignore its members in order to succeed at the polls.
Studies in Political Humour
If politics is a serious matter and humour a funny one, this volume investigates how and why the boundaries between the two are blurred: politics can be represented in a humorous manner and humour can have a serious intent. It shows how political humour can be manipulated in public debates or become an integral part of postmodern art.
Japan and Germany as Regional Actors
The end of the Cold War and the bipolar era constituted a significant change in Germany's and Japan's foreign policy settings, granting both countries greater leeway to pursue policies divergent from Washington's strategy. This important book fills a gap in the existing literature by employing an explicitly comparative framework for analyzing and evaluating Germany's and Japan's post-Cold War regional foreign policy trajectories. Recent non-comparative studies diverge in their assessments of the extent to which the two countries' foreign policies are characterized by continuity or change, as while the majority of analyses on Germany find overall continuity in policies and guiding principles,...
Rita Süssmuth
Als Bundesministerin, Abgeordnete und später Präsidentin des Bundestages prägte Rita Süssmuth rund zwei Jahrzehnte lang die deutsche Bundespolitik. Dabei war ihr Einstieg in die Politik eine Überraschung. Als die junge Dortmunder Professorin 1985 ins Kabinett von Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl berufen wurde, kannten sie nur die wenigsten. Süssmuth gelang es schnell, bekannt und beliebt zu werden. Die "Frau des Jahres 1987" galt ein Jahrzehnt lang als die populärste Politikerin der Republik. Denn als junge Seiteneinsteigerin war sie eine willkommene Abwechslung zum 'herkömmlichen' Politikertypus in Bonn. Doch mit ihrer öffentlichkeitswirksamen Agenda und ihren bisweilen provokanten Auftri...
