TY - BOOK A1 - Hustedt, Thurid A1 - Tiessen, Jan T1 - Central government coordination in Denmark, Germany and Sweden : an institutional policy perspective N2 - The paper analyses the processes of central government coordination in Denmark, Germany and Sweden. First it gives an account of the existing coordination patterns, second it analyses changes within these coordination patterns over time and finally it asks, whether these changes can be attributed to an intentional institutional design. To answer this set of questions, we introduce an institutional policy analytic perspective to the study of central government change. This perspective focuses on central actors, interests, strategic motivations and the degree of the actors reflexivity as a promoter of intentional institutional change in government coordination. The empirical analysis shows the prevalence of negative coordination as the dominant pattern of coordination in all three countries. However, country-specific constitutional and political traditions result in a variety of different coordination techniques actually used. The paper concludes by identifying three different patterns of change, depending on the degree of change and the reflexivity involved : "fragmented institutional politics" in Denmark, "policy-driven institutional politics" in Germany and "adaptive and symbolic institutional politics" in the case of Sweden.

N2 - Der bemerkenswerte Transformationspfad der zentralstaatlichen Verwaltung in Estland von der Sowjetbürokratie hin zum mustergültigen EU-Beitrittsland wird anhand des Landwirtschaftsministeriums beschrieben. Für dieses Gebiet gibt es im Gegensatz zu den bekannteren und gut recherchierten Aspekten der Transformation wie Demokratisierung, Wirtschaftsumbau und Außenpolitik noch keine Fallstudie. Daher wird hier die Entwicklung der staatlichen Verwaltung im Zeitverlauf anhand des Wandels der estnischen Agrarpolitik und Landwirtschaftsverwaltung nachvollzogen. Am Ende werden Schlussfolgerungen formuliert und verdeutlicht, dass viele Erkenntnisse über das eigentliche Untersuchungsland hinausgehen und ebenso für andere Transformationsländer in MOE gelten.

Die unterschiedlichen Haltungen zu Militäreinsätzen sind durch historische Erfahrungen bestimmt. Falls die schwarz-rote Koalition für Deutschland wieder die Rolle des euro-atlantischen Vermittlers übernimmt, wird sich das positiv auf die deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen auswirken. N2 - Germany and Poland need a new strategic context for their partnership. Their approaches towards the use of force are determined by different historical experiences. If the "blackred coalition" in Germany again plays a role as a transatlantic mediator, it will push the Polish-German relations in the right direction.

The separation from and the interactions with the outside environment are realised simultaenously. This is now heavily questioned in the European Union as „the first post-modern political entity“ (Ruggie). Within the EU we have observed a process of „de-bordering“ and growing transborder cooperation. Simultaneously, the question of the external border of the EU is raised as a political and mental issue. Deepening of the present EU leads to the fostering of the external borders - this is the lesson of the last 10 years. This can be also observed at the EU’s Eastern border - after the „first Eastern enlargement“ in the context of German reunification in 1990 - to the Oder/Neisse. The article discusses the historic developments and specific challenges of this border line and argues for cooperative external borders of the EU.

It is shown that Marcos uses three distinct frames of reference in his fictional account of the Zapatista guerrilla: an ethnic, a national and a post-national one. Contrary to other studies that emphasize the harmony between the three levels, it can be argued that there exists a fundamental tension between them. There is a tension between the ethnic discourse and the Mexican nationalist discourse which envisions a nation rather than a nation dominated by a single ethno-cultural group. Finally, it can be deduced from these tensions that the EZLN guerrilla is subject to divergent pressures.

They argue that the system of international markets is affected by polymorphy, indicating the existence of different forms of regulation. Five factors produce this polymorphy: the non-existence of a homogenous object of steering, the dynamic nature of these objects, the fact that the purpose of governance is not clearly defined, the dominance of governance by the USA and Great Britain, and governance as a result of a multi-level game with various coalitions.

The increasing emergence of civil organizations as well as their new-orientation favoured the development of an alternative “online-public” which tries to mediate between the public’s interests and the state. The influence of this online-public, who profits from the fast and various ways of communication via internet, is best shown by some successful examples of online-action in the economic and the political sector. This gives credence to Dick Morris’ postulated rise of the internet to be the “fifth power” of the state.

T1 - Drugs, war and war on Drugs : the U.S. and Colombia N2 - The United States, despite impressive efforts, have not reduced Colombian drug supplies over the recent years. Policy ineffectiveness results from problems in Colombia, including poverty, strong non-state actors, as well as a weak state and society. On the US side, ineffectiveness results from a geographically selective approach, a reliance on coercion, and bilateralism. The US has exacerbated human rights violations, environmental destruction, the displacement of the drug industry within Colombia, and the spread of Colombian problems to neighbouring countries.

Defining the state in Latin America as a weak one, it contains a typology of the different roles played by the military in the 20th century. In this context, the ambivalent impact of the USA as well as the search of the Latin American military for “new tasks” since the 1990s is discussed. The article concludes with the challenges for civil-military relations in the current democratic regimes in Latin America.

It mostly ignored the other – democratic – states in Central and Eastern Europe. Since this policy failed to improve the stability in the region, a policy change is necessary. Regional stability can only be based on the equal cooperation of democratic states. Germany should therefore intensify her support for the democratic forces in the region and integrate her policy into a common Ostpolitik within the EU.
