Von EWG zu EU: Der Vetrag von Maastricht

Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung - Wed, 08/02/2017 - 00:00
„Maastricht stellte einen Quantensprung dar. Ziel war die Fortsetzung der Integration von der früheren EWG bzw. EG zu einer echten politischen Union. Die Währungsunion stellt dabei die Krönung bzw. das monetäre Dach des schrankenlosen Binnenmarkts dar. Gleichzeitig bildet die Einheitswährung mit der Abgabe der nationalen Souveränität in der Geldpolitik ein irreversibles Element für die weitere Integration.“ (Theo Waigel in: Bisherige Entwicklung und aktuelle Herausforderungen - Projekt Europa, Politische Studien 440, S. 30ff)

Reaching for the Bomb

German Foreign Policy (DE/FR/EN) - Wed, 08/02/2017 - 00:00
(Own report) - The Polish government's éminence grise, Jarosław Kaczyński, has picked up the German establishment's call to acquire its own nuclear weapons. He would welcome it, if the EU would become a "nuclear superpower," Kaczyński told a leading German daily. Last week, the left liberal, government critical "Panorama" television program of the ARD's Norddeutscher Rundfunk channel called for launching an "open debate" on the "German nuclear bomb," because "no state" could presently be "confident" that the USA, under President Trump, would "unconditionally defend the other NATO allies." To "deter" Russia from attacking a member of the Alliance, in this situation, it is necessary to have national control over nuclear weapons, claimed the authors of the program. Numerous experts from think tanks, the media and from the political domain have expressed similar views, even while differing, on whether to confide the nuclear war potential to the authority of the EU's military bodies or to the German government.
