Vom Sprechen und Schweigen
(2004)
Editorial
(2004)
This article deals with the growing importance of Non-Governmental Organisations in the South as partners for international development cooperation. It focuses on the innovation potential of NGOs in tackling poverty and in promoting social, economic, and political development in cooperation with donor agencies. It is argued that NGOs face critical challenges when opting for increased professionalism and expansion in size. Many NGOs run the risk of loosing their valuable potentials and advantages in the name of professionalism by transforming themselves into government-like bureaucracies or profit oriented enterprises. Drawing from significant experience in developing countries and with donor agencies, the author offers an ambitious theoretical analysis of NGOs in the south which goes beyond typical approaches of looking at the performance of individuals or merely specific types of NGOs.

Der Staat und sein Schatten : zur Institutionalisierung hybrider Staatlichkeit im Süd-Kaukasus
(2004)
This article looks at contemporary Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan and addresses the question of how these states, which suffer from considerable institutional weaknesses, nevertheless retain the ability to control key aspects of statehood, first of all security and a measure of central authority. 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.
In der Diskussion um die internationale Rolle Europas ist die Gemeinsame Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik (GASP) Gegenstand häufiger Kontroversen. Ist die EU-Außenpolitik „das blutärmste Produkt der europäischen Integration“ (Kagan 2002) oder gar Beleg für eine wachsende Kluft zwischen Erwartungen und Fähigkeiten (Hill 1998)? Deutlich im Gedächtnis ist noch die Zerrissenheit und Einflusslosigkeit der europäischen Außenpolitik während des Irakkrieges 2003. Sind entsprechende Bemühungen der EU also nicht der Rede wert? Sind die Vorschläge zu Reformen der Verfahren und Institutionen, wie sie der Europäische Konvent zur Zukunft Europas und die anschließende Regierungskonferenz zuletzt vorlegten1, nur Sandkastenspielzeug für Politikwissenschaftler? Oder verspricht der geplante Verfassungsvertrag den strategischen Durchbruch, der die EU zu einem wirklichen außen- und sicherheitspolitischen Akteur im internationalen System werden lässt?
The state system cannot renounce to the US superpower as a guarantor for international security. This Polish author describes the US strategy after 9-11 to fight the „war against terrorism“: The United States of America is willing to cooperate, but if it seems to be necessary, they act independently. The author points out that the European Union is too weak to emancipate from the US. But even if the hegemonic US does not respect international law and state sovereignty, unilateral engagement is less dangerous for the world’s security than US isolationism.
Taking its departure from the debate on the Iraq war, the article examines three so-called „doctrines“ on European foreign policy. According to the first one, there is no such thing as an EU foreign policy. This may come as a surprise for policy-makers but is a common view among media commentators, analysts and some diplomats. The second doctrine holds that the EU’s foreign policy has been, is, and always will be a failure. Reasons for this gloomy view show considerable variations and are most likely unsustainable in the long run. The third approach is more optimistic, counting on the EU’s material volume, yet often ignoring the need to politically cash in if international clout is the quest.
Mit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges und der Auflösung der bipolaren Konfrontation trat die Diskussion um eine neue internationale Ordnung auf die politische Agenda. Staaten haben verschiedene Szenarien eingebracht, um für Akzeptanz in der neu geordneten Weltgemeinschaft zu werben. Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts, insbesondere nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001, hat sich die internationale Lage sehr verändert. Die Etablierung einer neuen Weltordnung ist dringlicher denn je geworden. Aber wie soll diese neue Ordnung aussehen, und wie kann sie Frieden und Entwicklung wirksam voranbringen?
The international community criticises the unilateral actions of the US in Iraq. As a reaction, the United States tries to extend their sphere of influence in other regions. The Brazilian author warns that Brazil in particular could be exposed to this increasing pressure. Therefore Brazil has to take the following five measures: strengthening of Mercosur, a Free Trade Area between the Andean Community and Mercosur, a cooperation agreement with the EU, cooperation with other NICs, and lobbying inside the US.
Should Turkey become a member of the EU? This is one of the most controversial issues in German European politics now. While the Social Democrats and the Green Party seem to be in favour, the Christian Democrats strongly oppose it. This paper demonstrates that both sides - their contrary political preferences notwithstanding- share one central belief: Turkey does not fit into the EU for cultural reasons. Through a close reading of parliamentary debates on EUenlargement the article reconstructs how Turkey is made Europe’s other.
Außenpolitik aus dem Bauch
(2004)
Can order and freedom only be established through the application of violent force? Hegel has argued that „using violence“ may be the beginning of the formation of all states in history but is in no way their essential principle. It is true that order and freedom require the protection against violence and acts of force but their normative difference is not levelled off in the term „violent order“ (Gewaltordnung). There is a paradox that „lefties“ in the tradition of Nietzsche and Foucault increasingly fail to notice – the „little difference“ between power politics and order. In their reductionism of politics to power politics, „neo-cons“ and their most ardent critics have much more in common than they are aware of.
Taking into account historical as well as sociological differences, the author distinguishes between different modes of socialism. On the periphery of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the combination of modern and traditional elements led to the establishment of hybrid political forms. They could be characterized as bureaucratic-patrimonial and associated with a specific type of state: the "peripheral socialist state".
