TY - GEN A1 - Ulrich, Peter T1 - Von der „Tyrannei“ des Arbeitsmarktes zur Vitalpolitik der Arbeitswelt T1 - From the „tyranny“ of labour markets towards a world of work N2 - Under continuous pressure from globalised competition, labour markets no longer guarantee the social inclusion of all citizens into civil society. For a „civilised“ market economy, it is essential to frame further economic „rationalisation“ by a comprehensive labour policy that values meaningful ways of human activity as well as the just organisation of the world of work over efficient labour markets. Without such a comprehensive labour policy, argues, labour markets increasingly become „tyrannical“ and will endanger the foundations of a modern society of free and equal citizens.

The authors discuss several theoretical approaches towards labour politics and industrial relations. Using the example of the IT industry, they then illustrate how in the IT industry the organisation of work changes, what requirements result for employees, how regulation is structured, and what political challenges this brings for trade unions and employer’s associations. Considering current developments in the IT economy, the authors finally evaluate the theoretical approaches according to their explanatory strength.

By law, low-paid jobs shall be introduced. However, even if this creates employment, there will be a future problem: pensions for these people will dramatically drop below the poverty line. The author argues that, in order to avoid such ‘poverty-traps’, an alternative social support system should be considered: a ‘tax transfer system’ with lowered income tax, yet complete reduction of legal exceptions on the one hand, and transfer systems combined with work incentives on the other hand.

The article compares this approach with neoclassical labour market theories. Neither the working individual nor her "labour world" are sufficient as starting points to explain certain forms of organization. Instead, Graupe focuses on the "context of action". As an example of organisation, which classic economical theory is unable to explain, she presents "internal labour markets". The Japanese philosophical understanding of the world influences thus the specific design of working worlds in Japan.

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.

As a result, relations between the managers of state-owned enterprises, the state security service, party officials, and criminal actors grew and became stronger. Parts of the old network are still functioning. Through the support of governmental circles, organized crime became established and dominated essential parts of the economy, from the mid-1990s. Since 1996, however, governments tried to act against organized crime. The influence of the mafia is still an unsolved problem and a challenge to the transformation of the country.

She suggests a „restructuring“ of the state not only in the economic sector but also in the political, cultural, or social areas. The advantage of such an approach lies in the fact that elements and values of the traditional culture can be maintained and even expanded. Furthermore, as this approach does not presuppose any specific model, it can be applied to all kinds of societies. However, restrucuring cannot replace modernization.

Es wird analysiert, welche einzelnen Bereiche dieses Politikfeldes in welchem Umfang in den Kompetenzbereich der Europäischen Gemeinschaft übergingen und welche Gründe für diese Entwicklung zu nennen sind. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf das Verhältnis der Sozialpolitik zur Wirtschaftspolitik gelegt. Die Europäische Kommission, einzelne Nationalstaaten sowie die organisierten Arbeitgeber- und Arbeitnehmerinteressen stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Die Arbeit ist chronologisch aufgebaut und in drei Phasen eingeteilt. Phase eins umfasst den Gründungsprozess der Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft bis zum Ende der 1960er Jahre. Phase zwei beinhaltet den Europäischen Sozialgipfel 1972 und endet mit der Einheitlichen Europäischen Akte. Phase drei schließlich untersucht die Diskussion um das Binnenmarktprojekt und den Vertrag von Maastricht aus einer sozialpolitischen Perspektive. N2 - This diploma thesis, which was handed in in the summer term 2006, deals with the role of social policy in the European integration process between 1955 and 1992. The author analyses the scope of social matters transferred from the national level to the European level and the rationale for the behaviour of the actors involved. Special attention is paid to the relation between social policy and economics. Furthermore the thesis focuses on the behaviour of the European Commission, single nation states and the organised interest groups from employers and employees. The diploma thesis is chronologically structured and subdivided into three parts. Part one encompasses the founding period of the European Economic Community until the end of the 1960s. Part two comprises the European social summit in 1972 and ends with the Single European Act. Part three finally examines the dispute on the single European market and the Treaty of Maastricht under a socio-political perspective.

Seither genießt das polnische Volk nach vielen Jahren der Fremdherrschaft wieder seine eigene Souveränität. Mit dem Ende der sozialistischen Ära begann eine Phase umfangreicher und weit reichender institutioneller, wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Veränderungen. Diese gehen einher mit hoher Arbeitslosigkeit und starker Verunsicherung im Umgang mit den sich neu bildenden Strukturen, was eine große Belastung für die Bevölkerung darstellt. Den Herausforderungen zum Trotz haben es die Polen geschafft, in nur wenigen Jahren ein institutionelles und wirtschaftliches Niveau zu erreichen, das sich an dem Niveau westeuropäischer Staaten orientiert. Diese Leistung wurde u. a. durch die Europäische Kommission anerkannt, indem 1998 zunächst die Beitrittsverhandlungen mit Polen eröffnet wurden und das Land im Mai 2004 zur Europäischen Union (EU) beitrat. Während die alten Mitgliedsstaaten der Europäischen Union eine lang andauernde Phase wirtschaftlichen Abschwungs erleiden, findet im angrenzenden Polen ein rasanter wirtschaftlicher Aufholungsprozess statt. Wachstumsraten von 5 % und mehr sind hierbei keine Seltenheit. Diese Entwicklung wird von vielen Bürgern der alten EU Mitgliedssaaten in Zeiten steigender Arbeitslosigkeit und sinkender Löhne wahrgenommen und teilweise als Ursache der eigenen Misere identifiziert. Tatsache aber ist, dass sogar bei anhaltender Dynamik der polnischen Wirtschaft ein Erreichen des westeuropäischen Standards, wenn überhaupt, erst in mehreren Jahrzehnten als realistisch erscheint. Ebenso wie im wirtschaftlichen Bereich stellt sich die institutionelle Diskrepanz zwischen Polen und den Ländern der EU der 15 dar. Zu groß sind die Unterschiede, als dass sie in nur einem Jahrzehnt hätten nachgeholt und ausgeglichen werden könnten. Als zusätzlich Hindernis ist zu werten, dass sich in den letzten Jahren die Berichte der Europäischen Kommission, der Weltbank oder Transparency International mehren, Korruption in Polen bedrohe sämtliche Sphären des öffentlichen und privaten Lebens und die junge „alte“ Demokratie somit durch hausgemachte Probleme ins Strudeln geraten könnte. Innerhalb der Europäischen Kommission scheint man sich des Problems der Korruption in Polen bewusst zu sein und befürchtet diese in Form eines trojanischen Pferdes importiert zu bekommen (Vgl. Dehley 2002: 4). Andere Organisationen wie GRECO1 zeichnen ein düstereres Szenario, da sie der Korruption in Polen attestieren, die demokratischen Institutionen auszuhöhlen.

Eine detaillierte Untersuchung der Regierungsstabilität am Beispiel von Estlands bis dato sieben Regierungen erscheint daher angebracht, da das Land trotz der häufigen Regierungswechsel im osteuropäischen Vergleich als erfolgreichstes Transformationsland angesehen wird. Kann Regierungsstabilität auch dann vorliegen, wenn die Regierungen selbst sehr häufig wechseln? Dies ist die eigentliche Fragestellung der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass sich Regierungsstabilität aus mehreren Variablen zusammensetzt, die sich gegenseitig beeinflussen.

Following the elections of March 2003, a new government is being formed: the ninth since 1992. A detailed examination of government stability and the example of Estonia is accordingly warranted, given that the country is seen as the most successful Eastern European transition country in spite of its frequent changes of government. This article asks whether government stability can exist in a case that exhibits frequent changes of government. It is presumed that government stability is composed of various variables influencing one another. Data about the average tenure of a government is not very conclusive. Rather, the deeper political causes for changes of governments need to be examined.

The authors hold that Huntington is just a prominent example of the trend which constructs geopolitical identities based on ethnic definitions of world regions, where ethnicitiy is understood to be a primordial, transhistorical and static understanding of cultural identities. In their paper, they extensively deconstruct this concept of ethnicity, drawing parallels with the history of nationalism and nation-building, and analyze its functions for legitimizing projects of building exclusive economic blocs in Europe, America and Pacific Asia. At present, ethnic concepts of world regions are competing with liberal, non-ethnic identities of the three world regions. Finally, the dangerous potentials of ethnic regionalization are discussed. From a peace research perspective, support for a common global identity of "mankind" is strongly advocated.

Discussing the linkage between loyality, ethnicy, and politics, he strongly argues for recognition of the fact that the world is groping for new political arrangements for which we simply do not have the appropriate ideas or words to describe. In the future, the range of political identities and loyalities in the global culture of "fragmegration" will extend beyond traditional multiculturalism.

In her essay, the author analyses whether there is a need for Poland to re-define its relationship to Germany and Russia, whilst searching for a new identity and a new place within Europe. She argues that there is a set of historical and geopolitical reasons for doing so. But whilst the Polish aim is to normalise its relationship to its neighbours, the perception of Russians and Germans in Poland is rather different. On the one hand, in the Polish people opinion, Germany is the main promoter of their European institutional integration wishes. On the other, relatively aggressive attitude towards Russia can also be identified. The essay is a strong plea for mutual responsibility and co-operation in favour of peace and security in Europe. Additionally Russia is to be regarded as part of European history, and should thus be involved in the European political process.

The level of economic interdependence between the two German states and the advantages of the GDR resulting from the "intra-German" status of trade and transfer of technologies provoked Gomułka’s distrust. Relations worsened even more when, towards the end of his time in power, Ulbricht moved towards a rapprochement with the FRG and showed some readiness to question the Görlitz treaty on the German-Polish border line.

It has almost completely destroyed the state structure of Liberian society which was manipulated by military ruler Samuel Doe and a small elite with the ends of amassing wealth and retaining power during the decade of 1980 to 1989. The state and almost all political institutions were stripped of credibility and legitimacy. During the war it was easy for the warlords of the various factions and their mostly young supporters to seize power and the remaining resources of the country. They established a radical free market system with the help of internationally operating companies and banks, protecting it by terror. Nearly two thirds of the population have left their homes and now live as refugees abroad, in the capital Monrovia or in Buchanan, where remnants of state structure and a weak civil society survive under the protection of a regional intervention army (Ecomog). By discussing different sociological explanations, the author traces the origins of the civil war and of its extreme brutality.

Taking into account language difficulties, the ideological background of ultra- nationalism and internal disputes, the analysis shows that the radical right-wing transnational networking has hardly developed. Additionally, its internet users’ potential is too low to contribute to a stronger trans-national alignment. The obstacles remain despite improved technological possibilities. This is proven by empirical examples of virtual trans-national networks.

So far the efforts to reduce the causes of escape have not been sufficient.

However, this system has turned out to be inadequate although the potential of preventive action is sufficient to reach a major progress in diminishing the refugee problem.

It exists a crisis for the international legal order which is represented by the failure of state to maintain order within its borders. The problem of violence in international relations are connected to the implosion of a considerable number of the state entities in the contemporary international society. The federalist institutional approach in international law and international theory could not contribute in an appropriate way to the solution of the "problem of violence", because it supposes a willingness on the part of states to do so. Only the concept of "national interest", in a sociological sense, connected to the development of a discource of solidarity and mutual responsibility between the "West" and the "rest of the world" offers the possibility to create a common consciousness which could make it easier to overcome the contemporary crises for the international legal order.

The author argues that a re-reading of Immanuel Kant's work "The Perpetual Peace" written 200 years ago offers a challenging possibility for a new conceptualization of politics, morality and peace. Morality is seen by Kant as an essential dimension of politics and the implementation and acknowledgement of laws by moral demands is defined as a precondition for a community of free citizens. In its public discourse politics does require law and morality. Deriving future rights from existing laws is one of the most favored argumentation used by politicians in the public. If the needs of law and justice are interpretated by politicians in their own interest, i.e. above all guarantees for the realization of political selfdetermination, then a real chance will exist for improving peace in the future.

Peace trough interdependence and democracy seems possible. The priorities of modern states cannot be thought on the basis of attributes like sovereignty and territoriality. The peaceful 'bourgeois islands' not only bring about prosperity but increasing social exclusion as well. New phenomenon of ethnicism and religiosity often originate from, around and in their midst. Threats arising from terrorism and racial or religious riots are the consequences.

History shows that failure to respect minority rights can undermine stability within states and negatively affect relations between states, thus endangering international peace. While minority situations vary greatly and the ordinary democratic process may be adequate to respond to the needs and aspirations of minorities, experience also shows that special measures are often required to facilitate the effective participation of minorities in public life.

The West embraced the illusion to provide the Kosovo-Albanians with conditions for a substantial autonomy under the umbrella of an international protectorate. The Kosovo-Albanians considered the substantial autonomy as a milestone on their way to independence, while a new Yugoslav-Serbian administration counted on regaining sovereign rights in Kosovo. The escalation of the crisis provided a fresh impetus for new expectations regarding the national question. The claim to separate Kosovo from Yugoslavia had been strengthened. The Albanian role in this process remained ambiguous. Albania has to be considered as an actor and an object, and it perceives its national geopolitical and security interests as affected by the process in Kosovo. Tirana's political orientation is strongly moving towards the Euro-Atlantic community, yet hegemonic interests vis-à-vis Kosovo might play an important role besides Tirana's own limited political influence over the developments in Kosovo.

Since then the federal minister for development cooperation – Heidemarie Wieczorek- Zeul – presented some interesting strategic papers under the label "aid as a global policy to overcome structural blockades to social progress and development". Special emphasis was put on the Program of Action for Poverty Reduction and on the strategy paper of a new Africa policy, but neither are concrete results yet in sight nor is an answer to the burning question of what to do with half of all African countries not having a long-term perspective for development at all (the "failing states" etc.). The article shows the great discrepancy between the impressive political rhetoric and the meager budget to cope with the many challenges of the poor developing countries in Africa. The new concept of the enlarged security intends to stabilize the structural conditions for social and economic development. In order to realize this aim, the article proposes a link between public expenditures on military measures for security and such on civil measures for structural security. Finally the article asks how development cooperation can influence the political attitudes of state and society in Africa in the direction of good governance and structural reforms.

N2 - This article is a reply to a statement by Elke Schwinger in WeltTrends 31. The author tries to strike the balance between "coming to terms with the past" and the role of criminal law in this process in Germany. The principle of prohibition of retroactive laws, fixed in the 1990 German Unification Treaty and in the Constitution, had been broken in the trials against the "Mauerschützen" (border guards) in German criminal courts since 1990. There is an artificially constructed past which does not correspond to the reality of the border regime before 1989. The author underlines that today the criminal law is misused for political aims within the German unification process.

This dispute is not new. Within the deterrence strategy, American and NATO nuclear weapons policy over the years shifted from massive retaliation over flexible response towards nuclearweapons only as a last resort. In the multilateral framework, deliberations have focussed on positive and negative assurances for non-nuclear weapons states. The International Court of Justice, in its Advisory Opinion, considers the use of nuclear weapons as generally contrary to the rules of international law. Today, there are strong indications that the U.S. is moving towards giving nuclear weapons a war-fighting role. For future wars, the likelihood of nuclear weapons being used would grow considerably.

This article discusses the implementation of EU law in these countries, observing changing attitudes to law, legal behaviour and judicial law control. The author argues that the approximation of legislation in the CEE countries will be achieved much faster than the incorporation of these laws into social practice. Thus, a gap between the formal fulfilment of accession requirements and the application of new EC laws will emerge. The consequences for the enlarged European Community could either be a considerably delayed "pulling up" or a dangerous "pulling down" scenario.

N2 - The "Forum" of WeltTrends No. 32 assembles sixteen analyses of the aftermath of the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, written by distinguished scholars from Germany, Britain, France, the U.S., the Czech Republic, Russia and China. The contributions deal with topics such as international and domestic security, the social and political causes of terrorism, international law, asylum policy, the classification of the attacks as crimes or acts of war, implications for international bodies such as NATO and the UN, and the effect of the attacks on the relationship between the U.S., Europe, Russia, and Asia, in particular Japan and China. The authors counsel strongly against scare mongering and short-term symbolic politics. Any attempt to deal with the complex problem of terrorism has to include long-term political and social policies aimed at the reduction of conflict and sources of political extremism in the Middle Eastern region. There is no reason for panic according to the authors but international politics after September 11th cannot go on like before.

One of the key features of future war is the difficult differentiation between civilian and military targets, between combatants and noncombatants. It is argued that the parallel (and competing) structures of both states and non-state actors using force openly and equally will be a permanent feature of international security policy in the 21st century. This development is tantamount to the dissolution of the monopoly on the legitimate use of force by the states. The state-centered system of international relations has been a distinctive hallmark of the modern period. It is bound to give way, however, to the parallel and competing structures of state actors and non-state actors which was a central attribute of the Middle Ages.

Although the civil war in Aceh – a region in the north of Sumatra – has claimed thousands of victims, the incidents have not yet been adequately dealt with – neither in the public domain nor within the scientific community. In May 2003, the Indonesian president, Megawati Sukarnoputri, imposed material law on the Aceh region in order to crack down on the separatist movement Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM). This step does not seem to be in line with serious concepts of democracy and is threatening the consolidation of the transformation process. The author seeks to shed light on the roots of the conflict, the motivation of leading politicians in Jakarta to deploy military means instead of continuing negotiations, and its consequences for the Indonesian process of democratisation.

This phase was followed by a forced modernization, when the Shah of Iran expanded his absolutistic rule and established a dictatorship. With the Islamic Revolution of 1979, a new phase of political discourse emerged with a tendency towards religious traditionalism. The author states that religion and democracy are not in opposition.

The Belarus’ paternalistic political culture does not essentially differ from that of successfully democratising neighbouring states. A weak national conscience is the only specific characteristic of the Belarus autocracy, but it lacks a convincing theoretical link with democratisation. Nevertheless, in paternalistic political cultures, successful democratisation seems to need more incentives for people, due to higher adaptation costs.

For him, this view relies on theoretical prejudices that have to be rejected in light of some recent, simple evidence. The fact that all cyclical rebounds during the 1990s have been cut short by restrictive monetary policy explains the inability of the German labour market to regain full employment.

T2 - MEGA-Schriftenreihe N2 - Der bislang in Deutschland und Frankreich sowie auf EU-Ebene geltende Rechtsrahmen ist grundsätzlich geeignet, um den Besonderheiten der Digitalwirtschaft Rechnung tragen zu können. Legislatives Handeln scheint insbesondere dort sinnvoll, wo es zur Effektivierung der Durchsetzung des bestehenden Rechts beiträgt. Dies betrifft unter anderem die Stärkung einstweiliger Maßnahmen, für deren Anwendung Frankreich als Vorbild dienen kann. In den untersuchten Rechtsordnungen lässt sich ein inkrementeller Politikansatz beobachten: die Säulen des Wettbewerbsrechts werken sukzessive in den Blick genommen und gesetzgeberische Maßnahmen nur schrittweise vorgenommen. Die in Deutschland und Frankreich geführten Diskussionen und bereits vorgenommenen gesetzgeberischen Maßnahmen deuten derzeit auf eine zunehmende Divergenz zwischen deutschem und französischem Wettbewerbsrecht bei den Antworten auf die Herausforderungen der Digitalwirtschaft hin. Zum einen, weil die in Deutschland vorgenommenen Änderungen der Zusammenschlusskontrolle in Frankreich nicht übernommen werden. Zum anderen, weil die in Deutschland diskutierten Vorschläge zur Reform der Missbrauchsaufsicht kaum auf das französische Recht übertragbar sind. N2 - En principe, les droits français, allemand et européen de la concurrence permettent de prendre en compte les spécificités de l’économie numérique. Des mesures législatives sont à recommander dans les domaines où elles contribuent à une mise en œuvre plus efficace du droit existant. Ceci vaut en particulier pour un renforcement des mesures provisoires, un domaine où la France peut servir comme modèle. On peut constater une approche législative qui peut être caractérisé comme incrémentalisme : Les différentes branches du droit de la concurrence sont approchées successivement et le législateur adopte des changements à petits pas. En outre, on peut observer une divergence dans le développement des droits allemands et français de la concurrence en ce qui concerne les réponses aux défis de l’économie numérique : selon l’autorité de la concurrence, les mesures législatives adoptées en Allemagne ne vont pas servir comme modèle pour une réforme du contrôle des concentrations en France. De plus, les propositions discutées en Allemagne sur une réforme du contrôle des abus de position dominante ne semblent pas être compatibles avec le système français.  N2 - In principle, the existing legal framework in Germany, France and the EU is suitable to deal with the specific characteristics of the digital economy. Legislative action seems to be required only where it contributes to render the enforcement more effective. This is particularly the case for strengthening preliminary measures, for which French law could serve as a model. In the legal orders analyzed in this paper, an incremental policy approach can be noticed: the different pillars of antitrust law are approached separately and legislative measures are only taken step by step. The measures that are discussed in Germany and France or that have already been adopted seem to lead to an increasing divergence in both countries’ antitrust law when it comes to dealing with the challenges posed by the digital economy. The reasons for this are twofold: First, because France is not going to adopt the thresholds for merger control that Germany has introduced. Secondly, the measures under discussion in Germany will hardly be suitable for the French legal system.

Mit einem Abstand von rund 10 Jahren begann die Herausbildung als eigenes Politikfeld in Frankreich. Die europäische Ebene begann ebenfalls erst ab Mitte der 2000er Jahre im Zusammenhang mit der Lissabon Strategie sich intensiver mit Clustern und Clusterpolitik zu beschäftigen und entwickelte ab 2008 Jahren einen systematischen Politikansatz. Der Anstoß zur Politikfeldentwicklung auf dem Gebiet der Clusterpolitik ging in Europa also gerade nicht von der EU-Ebene aus. Auch wenn das Politikfeld „EU-Clusterpolitik“ einem erheblichen Wandel im Zuge der Europa 2020 Strategie unterlag, findet eine Koordinierung der mitgliedsstaatlichen Politiken durch die EU-Ebene bislang nicht statt und ist – soweit ersichtlich – von Seiten der EU auch nicht angestrebt. Die EU Clusterpolitik ist vielmehr komplementär und unterstützend zu den nationalen Politiken ausgerichtet. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird aufgezeigt, dass sich die drei clusterpolitischen Arenen EU, Deutschland, Frankreich weitestgehend unabhängig voneinander entwickelten und jeweils eigenen von unterschiedlichen Institutionen, Kontexten, Traditionen und Pfadabhängigkeiten bestimmten Logiken folgten. Sowohl der vertikale als auch der horizontale Verflechtungsgrad ist gering zwischen EU und Mitgliedsstaaten. Verflechtungsmuster beginnen gerade erst sich auszudifferenzieren. Jedoch sind Policy-Transfer oder sogar Policy-Learning Prozesse zwischen den drei Arenen EU, Deutschland und Frankreich schon in Ansätzen erkennbar. Es gibt deutliche Unterschiede in den Clusterpolitiken Frankreichs und Deutschlands. Clusterpolitik wird in Deutschland in erster Linie auf Ebene der Länder konzipiert und implementiert, während sie in Frankreich nach wie vor vom Zentralstaat gesteuert wird – wenn auch mit zunehmend konzeptioneller Beteiligung der regionalen Ebene. Die Neuausrichtung der EU Clusterpolitik im Rahmen der Europa 2020 Strategie fand in Frankreich eine deutlich stärkere Resonanz als in Deutschland. Die Handlungslogik hinter den clusterpolitischen Maßnahmen der EU mit Bezug zur Lissabon-Strategie lag in der Verbesserung der Innovationsfähigkeit – die Handlungslogik der clusterpolitischen Maßnahmen im Rahmen der Europa 2020 Strategie liegt in der Modernisierung der industriellen Basis Europas durch Entwicklung neuer Wertschöpfungsketten. Die EU Clusterpolitik unterlag insofern einem erheblichen Wandel. N2 - La politique des clusters en tant que domaine politique à la croisée des politiques industrielle, de l'innovation (R & D) et régionale s'est développée au milieu des années 90 dans certains États membres de l’UE, dont l’Allemagne. Puis – avec un écart d'environ 10 ans – l’émergence de ce domaine politique a eu lieu en France. Le niveau européen n'a également commencé à traiter plus intensivement les clusters et la politique des clusters qu'au milieu des années 2000 dans le cadre de la stratégie de Lisbonne et a développé une approche politique systématique à partir de 2008. L'impulsion pour le développement d’une politique Européenne des clusters ne venait justement pas de l'UE. Même si le domaine de la politique des clusters a considérablement évolué au sein de la stratégie Europe 2020, l'UE n'a pas montré de tendance de coordination pour les politiques publiques de clusters de ses États membres. Au contraire, la politique de l'UE dans ce champ respectif est plutôt complémentaire et favorable vis-à-vis les politiques nationales. Il est montré que dans le domaine des clusters, les trois arènes politiques l’UE, l’Allemagne, et la France se sont développées en grande partie indépendamment les unes des autres et chacune a suivi sa propre logique déterminée par différentes institutions, contextes, traditions et dépendances de chemin. Le degré d'intégration vertical et horizontal est faible entre l'UE et les États membres. Les modèles entrelacés commencent tout juste à se différencier. Cependant, le transfert de politique ou même les processus d'apprentissage politique entre les trois arènes l’UE, l’Allemagne et la France commencent déjà à être reconnus. Il existe de nettes différences entre les politiques publiques des clusters en France et en Allemagne. La politique est conçue et mise en oeuvre en Allemagne, principalement au niveau des Länder, tandis qu'en France, elle est toujours dirigée par le gouvernement central – avec toutefois une forte implication régionale. La réorientation de la politique de l'UE en matière de clusters dans le cadre de la stratégie Europe 2020 a été prise plus clairement en France qu’en Allemagne. La logique derrière les mesures de politique de clusters de l'UE liées à la stratégie de Lissabon était d'améliorer la capacité d'innovation – la logique des mesures de politique de clusters dans le contexte de la stratégie Europe 2020 est de moderniser la base industrielle de l'Europe en développant de nouvelles chaînes de valeur. À cet égard, la politique de l'UE en matière de clusters a subi des changements considérables. N2 - Cluster policy as a policy area at the interface of industrial, innovation (R&D) and regional policies firstly emerged in the mid-1990s in some EU member states, including Germany. The corresponding development only started around 10 years later in France. The European level also began to deal more intensively with clusters and cluster policy in the mid-2000s in relation to the Lisbon strategy. A systematic policy approach has been developed from 2008 onwards. The impetus for creating a cluster policy in Europe just did not come from the EU level. Even if the policy field “EU cluster policy” has undergone significant changes in the course of the Europe 2020 strategy, the member states' policies have not yet been coordinated by the EU level and – as far as can be seen – the EU has not attempted to do so. The EU cluster policy can be seen rather complementary and supportive of national policies. The paper shows that the three arena of cluster policy EU, Germany and France emerged and developed largely independently of one another. Each arena followed its own logic, determined by different institutions, contexts, traditions and path dependencies. Both the vertical and the horizontal degree of integration is low between the EU and member states in this respective policy area. Intertwining patterns are just about to emerge. However, policy transfer or even policy learning processes between the three arenas EU, Germany and France can are already be recognized. There are clear differences in the cluster policies of France and Germany. In Germany, cluster policy is primarily designed and implemented at the regional level, while in France it is still controlled by the central government – albeit with increasing conceptual participation at the regional level. The realignment of the EU cluster policy as part of the Europe 2020 strategy received a much stronger response in France than in Germany. The rationale behind the measures of EU cluster policy related to the Lisbon strategy was to improve the ability to innovate – the rationale behind the measures of cluster policy within the framework of the Europe 2020 strategy lies in the modernization of Europe's industrial base through the development of new value chains. In this respect, EU cluster policy has undergone considerable change.

Auch die zeitgenössische Publizistik beschäftigte sich ausführlich mit diesem Thema, wobei das Verhältnis von Verständigung mit den Nachbarn und Revision der Grenzregelungen im Mittelpunkt der Debatte stand. Später gehörte Locarno zur Geschichte der Zwischenkriegszeit und wurde im Rahmen der Völkerbundsgeschichte, der Völkerrechts- und Diplomatiegeschichte und der Geschichte der Weimarer Republik behandelt. Für die politikwissenschaftliche Literatur spielte Locarno fast ausschließlich auf dem Gebiet der Sicherheits- und Abrüstungspolitik eine Rolle; eine (system)theoretische Erörterung steht bislang aus. In diesem Beitrag sollen nach einem kurzen Überblick über das Vertragswerk zunächst die geschichtliche Ausgangslage knapp umrissen und Vorgeschichte und Ergebnis der Konferenz von Locarno skizziert werden. Anschließend werden Inhalte und Lösungsansätze des Vertragswerkes beleuchtet, bevor zum Schluß eine kurze Einordnung in das System des Völkerbundes erfolgt.

Während sich das politikwissenschaftliche Interesse meist auf den allgemeinen Wandel der "Staatlichkeit" oder die konkreten Veränderungen von Politikinhalten konzentriert, wird hier in vergleichender Perspektive nach dem Wandel von politischen Strukturen und Prozessen der Regierungsorganisation, insbesondere der Ministerialverwaltung, gefragt. Ausgangshypothese ist, dass die westeuropäischen Regierungssysteme auf die externen Herausforderungen mit Änderungen ihrer "Produktionsstruktur" von Gesetzen und Programmen reagiert haben. Daraus ergeben sich folgende Kernfragen: Welche Veränderungen der Regierungsorganisationen sind zu identifizieren? Handelt es sich dabei um Ergebnisse einer reflexiven Institutionenpolitik? Ändert sich die strategische Handlungsfähigkeit der Regierungsorganisation? Ersten empirischen Beobachtungen folgend lässt sich ein Wandel auf drei Dimensionen vermuten: dem wachsenden horizontalen regierungsinternen Koordinationsbedarf, der vertikalen Reorganisation und Funktionsveränderung zentralstaatlicher Exekutiven sowie Veränderungen der Beziehungen mit externen Akteuren bspw. organisierten Interessen, Politikberatern und Konsensbildungskommissionen. Neben der Bundesrepublik, Großbritannien und Frankreich sollen die beiden skandinavischen Länder Dänemark und Schweden in die Untersuchung einbezogen werden.

But these processes differ profoundly from the European case. On the other hand integration theory up to the present day has been based mainly on the European evidence. Does this mean, that conventional integration theory is irrelevant in the case of the Asia-Pacific development? This contributuion tries to re-examine the theoretical capacity of various approaches (institionalism, functionalism, regionalism, flying geese pattern, regime-theory) when applied to the realities of transnational interaction and international organization in the Asia-Pacific rim.

Different theoretical approaches are taken into consideration by the author. Experiences of other transitional processes are practicable on Eastern Europe in a limited way. The missing of socio-structural differentiation, the socio-cultural consequences of the really existing Socialism and the international conditions did not promote the transition. It seems that the transition in Eastern Europe is obviously not a change from one political system to another one, but for the time being an open process.

Ihren Ansatz nennen sie „Nachhaltige Grundsicherung“. Dabei handelt es sich weniger um ein isoliertes sozialpolitisches Instrument, sondern vielmehr um ein Geflecht von Maßnahmen, die als Grundelemente einer Großen Transformation unserer Produktions-, Konsum- und Lebensweisen und einer Post-2015-Agenda dienen könnten.

Die Politikwissenschaftlerin Denise Dittrich analysiert in dieser Publikation die außenpolitischen Positionen der FDP im Kontext der neueren deutschen Außenpolitik. Dies ist in die kontroverse Debatte über Kontinuität und Wandel der internationalen Politik Deutschlands seit 1990 eingebettet. Vorgestellt werden die außenpolitisch relevante Strukturen und Personen der Liberalen sowie wichtige Beschlüsse der Partei, die die außenpolitisch Programmatik der FDP als Bestandteil der Regierung (1990 bis 1998) als auch als Opposition (1998 bis 2005) prägten.

It is argued that these states invest only in selected aspects of statehood. The needed resources are mobilized by a system of informal taxes, which are then invested in certain selected core functions of statehood. This form of state depends on both formal and informal institutions, which are mutually supportive.
