The Great Global Transformation

Conditionality has become a popular instrument for achieving policy change in the European Union (EU). EU conditionality in the Euro crisis epitomises the responsiveness-responsibility dilemma that comes with increasing supranational influence on national policymaking: governments find it increasingly difficult to responsively address the needs of their citizens and simultaneously fulfil their obligations vis-à-vis supranational institutions. Blame avoidance strategies are a way to mitigate this problem, as they help governments shape public perceptions about who is to be held accountable for unpopular policies. During the Euro crisis, despite it being an easy target, governments facing EU conditionality did not indiscriminately shift blame to the EU. Instead, they drew on a variety of blame avoidance strategies. This book aims to shed light on this observed variation in governments’ strategy choices during the Euro crisis. To do so, it investigates the constraints that EU conditionality imposes on governments’ use of blame avoidance strategies and how governments choose specific strategies from the remaining blame avoidance toolkit.The AuthorLisa Kriegmair is project coordinator for European and International Projects for the City of Munich (Germany).

Explaining Governments' Blame Avoidance Strategies Under EU Conditionality

Responsiveness and Responsibility in the Euro Crisis

This pioneering volume examines Europeanism in the new international society that emerged after the First World War through the League of Nations, with a focus on the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the Baltic countries, and the Balkans. The book analyzes how Europeanism was consolidated as an argument for the future, especially after the Second World War, when the three strong ideas of Europeanism came to fruition: peace among Europeans, good democratic government, and the socioeconomic welfare of peoples. By doing so, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Europeanism and its positive influence in the countries of Eastern Europe, from the interwar period to the present day.The book will appeal to researchers, students, and scholars of political science, international relations, European studies, and history, as well as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of Europeanism and the European integration process of the CEE, Baltic, and Balkan countries.

This book outlines the history of German development policy, provides important insights into Germany's motivations for development aid and closes an important research gap in this field. From its beginnings to the present day, German development cooperation has undergone various political and institutional changes. This volume offers a comprehensive analysis of these phases and highlights the milestones that have shaped Germany's approach to international development.&nbsp;It is aimed at academics, students, political decision-makers and anyone seeking an in-depth understanding of the developments and challenges of German development policy.The EditorsDr. Wolfgang Gieler is a Professor at the Department of Applied Social Sciences, University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund (Germany) and at Hankuk University Seoul (South Korea).&nbsp;Dr. Meik Nowak is a Research Associate at Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg (Germany) and a Lecturer at the University of The Western Cape (Republic of South Africa).

Understanding German Development Cooperation

This book offers an in-depth case study on the leading international refugee agency, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and its approach to environmentally displaced persons. The author examines the UNHCR on the basis of expert interviews and content analysis in order to highlight why and how the organization is addressing the issue. The analysis draws on organizational as well as security theory, offering readers a better understanding of the connection between the two. The book appeals to scholars in the fields of migration and organizational studies, as well as policymakers and professionals working in international organizations.&nbsp;

An Organizational Analysis

The UNHCR and Disaster Displacement in the 21st Century

This book examines the antecedents and consequences of citizens’ confidence in different political institutions and authorities. Its main argument states that a distinction between confidence in representative and regulative institutions and authorities is of crucial importance in order to gain novel insights into the relevance of political confidence for the viability of democratic systems. Relying on individual-level data from the European Social Survey (ESS), the author provides empirical evidence that citizens from a total of twenty-one European countries make a distinction between confidence in representative institutions and authorities and confidence in regulative institutions and authorities. Furthermore, the author shows that both types of political confidence emanate from different sources and are associated with varying consequences. Overall, these findings indicate that confidence in representative and confidence in regulative institutions and authorities establish two qualitatively different types of political confidence, each with distinct implications for the functioning and well-being of modern democracies.

Antecedents and Consequences of Citizens’ Confidence in Representative and Regulative Institutions and Authorities

Political Confidence and Democracy in Europe

This book examines the UK prime minister’s political leadership in the domestic executive. By offering a comparative study of the political leadership of James Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair with regard to European monetary policy, it challenges the thesis that British prime ministers today have more power, resources and autonomy than their predecessors, giving them a greater capacity to act.&nbsp; Taking key European monetary policy decisions by the British government between 1976 and 2007 as empirical cases, the book assesses the extent to which the political leadership of each prime minister was affected by the cabinet, the parliamentary party as well as the media, and the extent to which he or she was able to manage these factors. It becomes clear from this analysis that prime ministerial predominance is not as frequent as suggested, while collective leadership does not represent a return to cabinet government. Moreover, particularly theparty in government affects the prime minister’s leadership by shaping his or her options on appointments (and therefore the composition of the core executive), and through its behaviour in parliament, e.g. through rebellions or the threat of them.&nbsp;

This book analyses the processes and factors that contributed to the emergence and eventual consolidation of the Greek Cypriot Right in the era of British colonialism. It seeks to understand political developments in Cyprus in the period extending from 1900 to 1955 with regard to their social, ideological and economic determinants. By examining changing forms of political life, a general reconstitution of the political sphere and a specific set of changes in the ideology and organisation of the Greek Cypriots, the author offers a framework for analysing Greek Cypriot right-wing party politics, identifying its sources of mobilisation and main actors such as the Church of Cyprus, and understanding its subsequent transformations.

Emergence, Mobilisation and Transformations of Right-Wing Party Politics

The Greek Cypriot Nationalist Right in the Era of British Colonialism

This book examines how social cleavage lines shape issue voting and  party competition. Based on a study of German elections between 1980 and  1994, it analyzes whether cleavage group members put more weight on  policies that address their personal self-interest than voters who are  not affected by the cleavage line. Furthermore, it analyzes the  consequences of cleavage groups’ deviating patterns of voting behavior  for the formal game of party competition. More concretely, the author  asks whether equilibrium positions of parties within the policy space  are pulled away from the mean due to the more extreme policy demands of  cleavage groups in the electorate.

Issue Voting and Party Competition

This book analyses the India, Brazil, South Africa Dialogue Forum (IBSA), focusing on the communalities and differences in the way foreign policy is conceptualized in its member states. Utilizing 83 interviews with foreign policy makers and experts, as well as the analysis of 119 foreign-policy speeches, the author traces key shifts in official foreign policy discourse. In order to evaluate the degree of support for key IBSA Dialogue Forum concepts within national discourse, the author also examines the interplay between official and broader societal discourses on foreign policy. This analysis combines political science factors (foreign policy role conceptions) with linguistic factors, thus enabling a qualitative and quantitative comparison of different framings of foreign policy. Extensive empirical material collected during six months of field research in India, Brazil and South Africa allows the author to present a differentiated account of their alleged like-mindedness.

Framing Foreign Policy in India, Brazil and South Africa

This book studies the impact of cleavages on electoral choices. Based on a case study of Switzerland, it analyses how cleavages divide voters into voting blocs and how this influences Swiss voting behaviour and the Swiss party system. The first part examines the development of salient cleavages such as religion, social class, rural-urban, and language between 1971 and 2011. Behavioural changes among voters and changes in the size of social groups are explored as explanatory factors for the decline of cleavage voting. The second part proposes a contextual perspective analysis of the current impact of cleavages using both individual and contextual factors. These factors are also combined to examine interaction effects between the individual and the context. Finally, the third part analyses whether the impact of cleavages has harmonised across different contexts (Swiss cantons) over time.

Roman - Psychologische Spannung von einer der erfolgreichsten norwegischen Autorinnen

Das Unwetter

Women's freedom is a myth. Or so we're told. If there is one thing that right and left can agree on, it's that this is a very bad time to be female. Misogyny is everywhere and, as the right would have it, thanks to a big fat liberal lie known as the sexual revolution, it is worse than ever. The death of courtship, duty and marriage are nails in the coffin of female happiness. The left has its own muddled ideas about sex, duty and marriage, but it knows this: girls' and women's bodies are an inventory of pain and suffering that needs to be outed, from period pain to menopause to endometriosis. Indeed, the narrative of female bodily disadvantage is so extreme that experts are beginning to admit it is at least partially responsible for the 5,000 per cent rise in girls reporting to gender clinics claiming to be boys. Increasingly, in the schemes of both right and left, women's agency is vanishing. In both, they are fragile, eminently breakable, and constantly facing a risk of permanent damage. Fear is everywhere and yet we're at a moment and a place in which women have never ever had it so good. This book is a call for women - and society - to get back in touch with the joy, freedom and power that Zoe and her female peers, evidently born in a lucky window (post-feminism, pre-Internet), saw opening up before them and, to some degree, have realised.

Himmelssturz

Nur wenigen ist bewusst, wie groß das Ausmaß der Stasi-Aktivitäten in der alten Bundesrepublik war. Der Historiker Hubertus Knabe hat in den ehemaligen Stasi-Archiven geforscht und zeigt im Detail, wie der DDR-Geheimdienst den Westen infiltrierte. Mehr als 20.000 Westdeutsche lieferten regelmäßig Informationen aus Parteien, Unternehmen, Kirchen, Medien, Geheimdiensten und der Bundeswehr. Vom Amtsverzicht Heinrich Lübkes bis zum Misstrauensvotum gegen Bundeskanzler Willy Brandt, von der Studentenbewegung bis zu den Anti-Raketen-Protesten der 1980er-Jahre - die Stasi war immer dabei. Knabes Buch macht auf beklemmende Weise deutlich, wie sehr der DDR-Geheimdienst ein gesamtdeutsches Problem ist
