  abstract  = {The negative vote of the French population to the European Constitution shocked the European politics. It shifted the power constellations within the Union. By giving historical examples, the author explains that the refusal of the French population is not a new phenomenon. As a result, the article suggests to slow down the European integration process in order to prevent further setbacks.},

  abstract  = {The author discusses the failure of the EU-Constitution plebiscite in France and focuses on the different arguments brought forward in the French debate over the EU-Constitution. The draft of the Convent was a complex volume full of compromises. However, in comparison with the Treaty of Nice, it would have been a starting point for achieving a direct trans-national democracy. According to the author, the referendum only failed due to some unique plebiscite elements that were instrumentalised by governments which had overestimated themselves.},

  abstract  = {The Polish discourse about the European Constitution has one feature in common with the discourses of other member states: it deals with everything but the text of the Constitution Treaty itself. At its core it oscillates between the Polish striving for power in the EU and the toleration for cultural difference in Europe. The opposite of the latter has been particularly significant during the referendum debates in France and the Netherlands, which let to the rejection of the constitutional treaty.},

  abstract  = {Die EU-Staaten haben sich lange Zeit in die Rolle der „Vasallen" und des „Br{\"u}ckenkopfs" (Brzezinski 1999) gef{\"u}gt, solange sie sich davon mehr Vor- als Nachteile versprechen konnten. Mit der Ausformung der Europ{\"a}ischen Union zu einem immer kompakteren wirtschaftlichen und finanzpolitischen Machtzentrum w{\"a}chst auch das Bed{\"u}rfnis nach einer koh{\"a}renteren und durchsetzungsf{\"a}higeren regionalen und globalen Interessenwahrnehmung in den internationalen Institutionen, gegen{\"u}ber anderen Großm{\"a}chten und regionalen Zusammenschl{\"u}ssen sowie in gewaltsamen Konflikten, die die Interessen der EU-Staaten tangieren. Dieser Trend wird durch den unilateralen Kurs der Vereinigten Staaten zus{\"a}tzlich verst{\"a}rkt, der sich bereits unter der Pr{\"a}sidentschaft Clintons ausformte und unter der Bush-Administration eine bislang nicht gekannte Zuspitzung erfahren hat. Mit der Ablehnung des Kyoto-Protokolls und des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs, mit der Aufk{\"u}ndigung des ABM-Vertrages, dem Infragestellen des Teststoppabkommens und der Rehabilitierung des Krieges als Mittel der Politik haben die Vereinigten Staaten grundlegende Interessen, Ziele und Standards der EU-Staaten negiert und mithin ihre Gegenwehr herausgefordert.},

  abstract  = {Through police co-operation, re-admission agreements, and setting up of detention camps, Italy's immigration policy tries to delocalise border controls between Europe and North Africa. Italian immigration quotas and development aid should induce countries of origin and transit of migrants to tighten their border controls and cooperate with Italy. Development aid is used by the EU in order to exert pressure on other countries, whereas Libya for instance uses transiting refugees as a diplomatic weapon. On the other hand, relations between Italy and North African countries do not focus on human rights violations taking place in some of these countries.},

A counterweight to the US domination could be stronger ties between Western Europe and Russia. The rise of the Franco-German-Russian troika has been the only positive effect of the Iraq war. But not all members of the EU seem to recognise the necessity of a „Great Europe" from Reykjavik to Wladiwostok. Especially the new members of NATO and EU are vassals of the US and exhibit strong anti-Russian resentments.},

Angesichts der tiefen Gr{\"a}ben, die weiterhin zwischen den EU-Mitgliedern hinsichtlich einer „Gemeinsamen Außen-und Sicherheitspolitik" bestehen, erscheinen vollmundige Diskurse {\"u}ber „eine europ{\"a}ische Sicherheitsdoktrin" und „einen europ{\"a}ischen Außenminister" eher als Geisterbeschw{\"o}rung. In diesem Heft wird die Frage nach der europ{\"a}ischen Außenpolitik aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und mit verschiedenen Prognosen diskutiert. Wird deutsche Außenpolitik wieder Machtpolitik? Gunther Hellmann sieht die Gefahr und pl{\"a}diert f{\"u}r einen „offensiven Idealismus". Damit beginnt WeltTrends eine neue Debatte zu Deutschlands internationaler Politik, die in den n{\"a}chsten Heften gef{\"u}hrt wird.},
