Understanding the European Constitution
The purpose of the European Constitution is to make the European Union more democratic and more accessible to its citizens, and to enable it to function more effectively. The burgeoning EU is no longer governable through the Treaties as they stand. Yet the document that politicians have hailed as "historic" is needlessly complicated, and virtually incomprehensible to ordinary people. This was one of the main reasons why the citizens of France and the Netherlands rejected the Constitution in their referenda. The European Constitution marks the starting point for a renewed debate about Europe. This book makes it easier to understand both the Constitution and the EU in general. Using accessible language, it guides the reader through the complicated subject matter step by step. Concise tables explain the genesis of the Constitution, its structure, the changes that it will bring about, and how decisions in the EU will be made in the years to come. Those who wish to play a part in shaping the future of Europe need to be familiar with the basic foundations of the European Union, and this demands an understanding of the European Constitution.
Holocaust Angst
Focusing on the German effort to rehabilitate its international reputation in the wake of the Holocaust, this study examines German-American relations from the 1970s through 1990.
Germany in Europe in the Nineties
What will be the future of Germany? Will Germany remain a 'soft power', pursuing a 'bind me, love me'-policy or will we see a new Germany signalling strength and power based on nationalism and German identity? The book, written by well-known German, British, French, Russian, Danish and American scholars, attempts to present contrasting analyses on different levels of the general political dimension and position of the united Germany in Europe.
Partners at Odds
Europe and America are currently experiencing the demise of what had been taken for granted in transatlantic relations for over 50 years. Their relationship has been sucked into the vortex of the global political upheaval that followed the terrorist attacks of 9/11. They are now faced with the task of finding new answers to the geopolitical social, economic, and political challenges that have emerged. As the German administration's coordinator for German- American cooperation, Werner Weidenfeld has played a vital role in shaping transatlantic politics for many years. At the same time, he has observed and analyzed them as a political scientist. It is this unique double perspective that Weidenfeld brings to his book.Reviewing Europe's and America's common history, he shows the problems and challenges of transatlantic cooperation and outlines possible ways of improving it. For Weidenfeld, one thing is obvious: Europe and America will have to make a conscious choice. Either they continue to be "partners at odds" —or they arrive at a new strategic realism to shape the 21st century jointly.
A New Ostpolitik
This book presents an overall approach for the West to best meet the needs of the political and economic transformations taking place in Eastern Europe.
The Dynamics of Change in EU Governance
The emergence, execution and evolution of new modes of governance across several policy fields - and encompassing all three pillars of the European Union - are mapped, analyzed and evaluated. In particular, the expert contributors focus on the ways in which these innovative mechanisms and practices interrelate, how they relate to ?old' methods of governance, and what their implications are both for the effectiveness and efficiency of policymaking. Conclusions are drawn in the form of an integrated new framework that explains the dynamics of EU governance with an ?integrative spiral' driven by the interrelation between the legal and the living architecture of the EU. Linking research on modes of governance to the analysis of the basic legal, institutional and procedural features of the EU up to the Lisbon Treaty, this book will prove essential reading for scholars, researchers and policy makers in the fields of European studies, law and economics, and political science and theory.
