Information security: a new challenge for the EU

01 March 2005
By

The Internet has opened a new area of communication and information, enabling us to transfer enormous amounts of digital data for a great variety of applications within fractions of a second around the globe. It is therefore no surprise that it has become, within only a few years, the spinal column of modern societies. Citizens, research institutions, private business, NGOs, political parties and public services all increasingly depend in their daily life and work on interlinked information systems and networks.

Bush in Europe II

19 February 2005
By

On the eve of what will hopefully be a new start to trans-Atlantic relations, it may be worth recalling some of the European Union's achievements in helping to shape a better and more secure international order. Not just words and nice declarations, but facts and a real ability to deliver.

El atractivo de Venus

06 February 2005
By

Para explicar la creciente diferencia entre Estados Unidos y Europa, Robert Kagan, en su libro Poder y debilidad, sugiere que los norteamericanos pueden equipararse a Marte, el dios de la guerra, mientras que los europeos recuerdan a Venus.

Mühsame Suche nach Souveränität

27 January 2005
By

Die gegenwärtige Situation im Irak gibt wenig Anlaß zur Hoffnung auf einen friedlichen und sicheren Verlauf der Wahlen. Die Gewalt wird auch nach den Wahlen nicht aufhören und dennoch wurde am Termin festgehalten. Das hat zum einen mit den Bestimmungen des im März 2004 unterzeichneten Übergangsgesetztes zu tun, zum anderen damit, daß die wichtigsten Machtblöcke im Irak den Wahlgang befürworten: die Amerikaner und die Schiiten.

A new 'eastern question'

01 January 2005
By

Events in Ukraine reflect the changes occurring in Europe and pose a new ‘eastern question’. The first story relates the birth of a revitalised Ukraine. The two candidates in the elections, Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych, in themselves do not signal this birth – but 17 days of peaceful demonstrations in Kyiv and other cities do, as does the decision of the Ukrainian Supreme Court to call for a new second round on 26 December.

Das Islam in Europa: zwischen Terrorangst und sozialer Misere

01 January 2005
By

Die jahrhundertealten Beziehungen Europas mit der islamischen Welt waren zu jeder Zeit von mehr als nur von Kriegen bestimmt. Wirtschaftliche Beziehungen um das Mittelmeer und am Balkan sowie die Inkorporation der im Handel äußerst erfolgreichen Wolgatataren in das russische Zarenreich oder die Weitergabe des antiken Erbes an die abendländischen Christen durch die andalusischen Muslime sind oft vergessene Zeugen einer wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Realität: der gegenseitigen Befruchtung der nordafrikanisch-vorderasiatischen und der europäischen Welt.
