European Perspective: Februar 2010

Sonntag, 21. Februar 2010. Social benefits discussion revisited. Nearly one month ago I wrote a posting. On our societal approach towards poverty, addressing the discussion of social benefits in German newspapers, especially a philosophical discussion in German feuilletons. Already some German right wing politicians were attacking the social consensus on welfare that had developed in Europe during decades. Freitag, 12. Februar 2010. The lesson Latin America can learn from these developments for it's own ...

European Perspective: Peace and justice
http://europeanperspective.blogspot.com/2010/10/peace-and-justice.html
Mittwoch, 6. Oktober 2010. Later in the Hague we met with people from Cordaid, a large humanitarian NGO with catholic roots that gets most of its funds from Netherlands' government. Before moving to the ICTY and the ICC we also visited the International Water Association that has it's headquarters in The Hague. Prosecutors of international courts and tribunals on the other hand are not happy to see this. They try to isolate the persons indicted by the courts and pressure the international community t...

Sonntag, 25. Juli 2010. Peace through integration - EU and UNASUR. With UNASUR, Latin America is following the example of the EU, trying to establish a zone of stability, economic prosperity and peace on the South American continent. But why has the European Union become a textbook example for peace while tensions still abound in Latin America? Why is this the case? Europe meets Latin America Network.

Sonntag, 19. September 2010. Populism on the Rise. So, after a rather long summer break of beach vacations and the following struggle to keep up with the workload I finally get around to write a new post. Actually a couple of interesting things have happened during the summer months, but one topic has been hot across a variety of different countries: immigration and xenophobia. In Germany, the former Secretary of Finance of Berlin and current board member of the Federal Bank Thilo Sarrazin has published ...

European Perspective: Februar 2011

Sonntag, 13. Februar 2011. Warum wir Generationengerechtigkeit fordern und dennoch nicht danach Leben. Dabei sind wir, als heute lebende Generation, in der Pflicht, künftigen Generationen mindestens die gleichen Möglichkeiten zu hinterlassen, die wir selbst hatten. In den Bereichen Klimawandel, Staatsverschuldung, Energiepolitik, Umwelt- und Artenschutz sowie schonender Ressourcenverbrauch reden wir gerne über diese große Verantwortung. Danach zu handeln liegt uns leider nicht.

European Perspective: August 2010

Sonntag, 8. August 2010. Germany and Europe - a love gone sour? But the rift is not only widening between the European tandem. Also the rest of Europe is eying Germany with increasing suspicion. Claim that Germany is trying to impose its model of financial austerity on the other Member States. In the German population on the other hand there are fears that Germany will be pulled back into the financial crisis by other, weaker EU Member States or that they will be deprived of the fruits of their hard ...

European Perspective: Oktober 2010

Sonntag, 17. Oktober 2010. The Fallout of the Crisis. Still, many experts are warning that devaluation may lead to trade wars in the long run which would have catastrophic consequences for everyone. Is it far fetched that selfish and xenophobic reactions in the aftermath of the world economic crisis lead to an increased readiness to rely on egoistic policies in international trade? Mittwoch, 6. Oktober 2010. For me the most interesting side-effect of the visit was to hear about peace-building and conflic...

Sonntag, 21. März 2010. A sign on the Argentinian side of its border with Brazil,. Proclaiming the Argentinian claim for the islands. Sonntag, 14. März 2010. Germany's blind spot: Latin America. At the beginning of the year, I wrote a post. About Europe's foreign policy vis-à-vis Latin America with hopes for a boost of the relationship due to the Spanish EU presidency. Unfortunately, near state bancruptcies. One can only hope that this political discussion will not be the only public reaction to the fore...

European Perspective: Juni 2010

Mittwoch, 30. Juni 2010. A number of knowledgeable experts on the different aspects of the EU2020 Strategy, including representatives from the relevant Commission General Directorates, took part in three panel discussions. The audience consisted of over 100 stakeholders and interested citizens. The conference probably fulfilled its aim of sparking a public debate about the EU2020 Strategy, but on a personal side note I feel there are some more things to say about the successor of the Lisbon Agenda. Many ...
