EUROPA AM ABGRUND

Hauke Brunkhorst — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:14:02 +0000

Die Blockade der gesetzgebenden Gewalt muß beendet werden, sonst scheitern Demokratie, Menschenrechte und Verfassung in Europa.
Europa hat eine materielle Verfassung, aber sie ist nicht demokratisch. Europa ist, wie es in den Verträgen heißt, ein „Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts“ (Art. 3 Abs. 2 TEU). Darauf sind die politischen Eliten Europas stolz.

THE EMERGENCE OF EUROPEAN CAPITALISM

Donald Kalff — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:27:13 +0000

Many thanks for the opportunity to share with you my views on the future of capitalism in Europe. This subject is obviously related to the fate of our liberal democracies and the next phase of European integration. It is already a cliché that we have to re-engage those who have fallen for the temptations of ethnic nationalism. We need higher economic growth and we need to restore confidence in our business leaders in a world dominated by financial markets.
We know that only 15 % of all the money in the world is exploited in economic activity, the rest of it is packaged and re-packaged in products that are traded between banks and other financial institutions.

THINKING SPACE EUROPE AND THE CHALLENGE OF ISLAM

Michiel Leezenberg — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:34:41 +0000

The idea of a Europe as a ‘thinking space’ proceeds from a tacit image of Islam, or the Islamic world, as its absolute antipode, or – to retain the spatial imagery – as a heterotopia that stands for everything modern Europe has combated, overcome, or rejected. Remarkably few academic philosophers have ventured to discuss Islam and the Muslim world; and when they do, they risk reproducing precisely the self-congratulatory and reductionist narrative of Western progress, emancipation and secularization that nowadays is increasingly being taken over by xenophobic right-wing parties.

DIE ZUKUNFT EUROPAS

Ulrike Guérot — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:50:22 +0000

Die EU ist in ihrer größten Legitimitätskrise seit Gedenken, und ihre Zukunft, ihr sprichwörtliches Überleben, zumindest in bekannter Manier, steht zur Debatte, jetzt wo der Brexit beschlossen ist und eine nicht vorherzusehende Eigendynamik entwickeln könnte.
