- What's Next For Defense Budget, Aerospace Stocks?
Following nearly a decade of sizable funding hikes, military budgets are on the way down. National priorities have shifted to a new beat, away from security to jobs and growth. After restoring the safety net dismantled during the economy minded 1990s, the past decade has seen America retaliate against terrorism while modernizing much of its military infrastructure. Readiness, logistics and the ability to quickly respond have also been shored up following the downsizing of the Cold War deterrent machine, following collapse of the Berlin wall. That?s the good news. かなりの資金引き上げのほぼ十年に続いて、軍事予算が降りるまでになります

- New Europe: Sauerkraut with everything?
The German food scene has changed radically since the fall of the Berlin wall, says chef Sarah WienerAs native Viennese woman, gourmet and ex-pat who has lived in Berlin since the time of the wall, I can say first hand that the culinary culture back then was more focused on survival than pleasure.Given our northern location and climate, we were never particularly spoiled agriculturally, though happily, potatoes and cabbage prospered. Publicly, the GDR seemed a gastronomic desert. Privately, it was totally different. Schnapps was self-made in the shed and rabbits were reared at home. But Berlin was a culinary wasteland. Tasty food in restaurants was scarce. And while there have been Greek and Italian restaurants around every corner for decades with their tzatziki, feta salad and spaghetti carbonara, for the masses, gastronomic culture meant mostly one thing: grabbing something fast, cheap and mostly rich in meat and carbohydrates. In urban areas this tended towards the döner kebab and currywurst.German menus have long been dominated by roasts, flour-based sauces and filling side dishes. Every region would boast a speciality unknown even 100 miles away. It's a Western European myth that we eat sauerkraut with everything. Though it is often served with roast pork and also goes nicely with bratwurst - and blaukraut (red cabbage) is served during the harvest in autumn and winter - that is pretty much it for us and the kraut.After the fall of the Berlin wall, eating out changed. Along with the wave of American chains, coffee to go, sushi shops, sandwiches and the usual fast food, came new forms of soups, pasta and Asian snacks. Next to the döner and currywurst imbiss, you may now find a falafel shop. Suddenly there were proper restaurants that wouldn't be out of place in New ドイツ料理シーンは、ベルリンの壁の崩壊以来、根本的に変更されている、シェフがサラWienerAsネイティブウィーンの女性、グルメ、壁の時からベルリンに住んでいる元patは、私が言うことができるという最初の手戻って食文化がその後さらに我々は、特にジャガイモが栄え、キャベツも喜んで、農業台無し決してpleasure.Given北部の位置と気候変動よりも生存率にあった集中していた
- Has George Osborne shown it is time to stop being beastly to the Germans?
Chancellor of the Exchequer overlooks German concerns about single currency as he mocks 'headlong' rush to form euroIn the early autumn of 1989 George Osborne was eighteen. This means that the mind of the future chancellor may have been on other matters when the Warsaw Pact started to crumble.In September 1989 Hungary unilaterally opened its border with Austria for citizens of East Germans who then poured, in their tens of thousands, into West Germany. Within months the Berlin Wall fell and the rest of Europe was faced with a challenge: would a unified Germany be a threat or a blessing?Margaret Thatcher was sufficiently troubled by these events that she convened a summit of historians at Chequers in March 1990 to assess the dangers. François Mitterrand, then president of France, went even further and floated the idea a Franco-Soviet military alliance to resist German unity.France eventually calmed down when Germany agreed to anchor itself fully in Europe by embarking on a move that, to many, was unthinkable. It would scrap the Deutschmark and join a single currency. Germany was fully aware of the dangers and signed up to what became the euro with a heavy heart.But this is not the picture Osborne painted today when he gave the impression that European leaders embarked on the euro in the way that naive young lovers elope. This is what the chancellor told the Tory conference:Our European neighbours plunged headlong into the euro without thinking through the consequences. How could they believe that countries like Germany and Greece could share the same currency when they had vastly different economies and no mechanism to adjust?Britain feels it can offer lectures to the 17 members of the eurozone because Sir John Major negotiated an opt out from the single currency during 彼はモックとして大蔵大臣は、単一通貨に関するドイツの懸念を見下ろす1989ジョージオズボーンの初秋をeuroInを形成するために、。。u0026quot;向こう見ず。。u0026quot;ラッシュは18だった

- Spain's future depends on a more relevant Europe | Felipe González
A focus on internal affairs has left Europe increasingly irrelevant. Spain can be at the forefront of reforms to bring it up to dateOver the last three decades, following the end of the Franco dictatorship, Spain has had to reconfigure its international projection. The isolation arising from the country's alignment with the axis powers, which was only disrupted by the cold war, determined Spain's international policy for decades.The transition to and consolidation of democracy was a successful effort on all fronts: the authoritarian regime was done away with, power became decentralised, Spanish economy and society were modernised, and foreign policy was geared to placing Spain in the international position it should occupy.From the first years of the transition to democracy, Spanish governments embarked on a long process of integration within the European institutions: the Council of Europe and the European Communities. The treaty of accession was signed in June 1985 and Spain effectively became a member in January 1986. Diplomatic relations were established with Israel and in March a referendum was held on Spain's membership of Nato. During those years the bilateral agreements with the US were renegotiated and Spain reoriented its political relations with Latin America and the Mediterranean countries.With these new parameters, Spain faced the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the demise of the Soviet Union and the emergence of countries in central and eastern Europe that abandoned their communist dictatorships and seeked to join the European Union, without neglecting its neighbours in Northern Africa and the Mediterranean.The Arab-Israeli peace conference held in Madrid towards the end of 1991, with the consensus of the US, the Soviet Union and all of the count 内政に焦点を当て、ヨーロッパにますます無関係を残している

- For Middle East democracy, send in the geeks | Tom Glaisyer and Shawn Powers
After the 1989 revolutions, the west sent free-market economists east. Now, we can all gain by being information society citizensWhen the Berlin Wall fell, the western response was swift and obvious: send in the free-market economists. Soviet Communism was a system structured for failure that had left a group of governments and citizens in need of political and cultural tools, as well as knowledge of markets and the institutions they require to function. Professor Jeff Sachs, the economist, was dispatched to Poland and across the former Soviet Union (FSU). Funding streams were brought online and bright students from the eastern bloc attended Harvard Business School and learned about how markets work. There were also parallel democracy building programs established. Partnerships and exchanges proliferated and the Soviet-era systems were transformed to engage and contribute to the global market economy. As the Mubarak regime steps out of the way, Gaddafi's collapses, and as Tunisia continues to re-establish its democratic roots, similar questions are raised with less obvious answers: what can be done to alleviate the extreme unemployment and income gaps that plague these countries? Certainly, the removal of the authoritarian regimes that oversaw these systems is a tremendous first step, but what what else must happen to ensure that the conditions that spurred these uprisings improve?The answer is, in part, right in front of us if we look closely at the banners that were waved by brave protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square featuring three well-known organisations: Facebook, Twitter and al-Jazeera. This new, more democratic configuration of media gave voice to new players. While the revolutions taking place are fuelled by the blood, sweat and tears of the brave protesters tha 1989回転後、西、東自由市場経済を送った
- Hanna Behrend obituary
My friend Hanna Behrend, who has died aged 88, was a leading academic in the former German Democratic Republic and an expert on all matters of life in the GDR. She travelled regularly to Britain where she made friendships with many fellow academics and gave lectures on English literature, feminism and the politics of German unification.She was born in Vienna, Austria, but as a Jewish teenager was driven into exile, first in France and then in Britain, by the rise of the Nazis. She spent most of the second world war in Britain. Once the war was over, she returned to east Berlin to help build what she hoped would be a new democratic and anti-fascist Germany. She studied history and English at Humboldt University in Berlin and later completed her doctoral thesis there.After earning a living as a translator and editor of English texts, she began lecturing in the university's English faculty. She became the project leader for studies on the working-class literature of Britain and Ireland. During the 1970s and 80s she sat on a ministerial committee for teaching English in higher education. In 1982 she became assistant professor for English literature at Humboldt University.After the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, she criticised the marginalisation of GDR academics, as detailed in the book she edited for Pluto Press, German Unification: The Destruction of An Economy (1995). Hanna was the author of a number of well-received books and in 2008 published her autobiography, Die 。。berleberin: Jahrzehnte in Atlantis (The Survivor: Decades in Atlantis).Hanna had a son, Hansjürgen, from her marriage to Hugo Köditz. After their divorce, she married Manfred Behrend and they had two daughters, Christina and Susanna.Manfred died in 2006. Hanna is survived by her children, four grandchildren 88歳で死亡した友人ハンナBehrendさんは、大。旧ドイツ民主共和国とドイツ民主共和国での生活のすべての事項について専門家の学術的だった
- Nuclear weapons: Obama is leading the way on warhead cuts | Editorial
The US president and his Russian counterpart are working together at lastAnyone old enough to remember the Cold War will recall also how normal it felt to worry about nuclear confrontation resulting in the end of the world.It takes time for the kind of suspicion built up over that period to dissipate. Last week, US President Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev agreed to the deepest-ever cuts in their countries' nuclear arsenals – a mere 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even then, each side will retain 1,550 warheads, enough to unleash apocalypse many times over.The deal is a foreign policy triumph for President Obama, who has invested heavily in repairing relations with Russia. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Moscow has suspected the US of conspiring to undermine its global status. The Kremlin has been especially assertive in trying to maintain influence in eastern Europe, which has been interpreted in Washington as a kind of neo-Soviet ambition.One of President Obama's first moves was to scrap a planned missile defence shield based on Russia's doorstep, a gesture of reconciliation decried by US hawks as appeasement.Without anything to show for such a concession, President Obama would have looked weak, so the nuclear deal gives him some much needed kudos. But the real quid pro quo was signalled in a statement by President Medvedev, striking a more than usually stern tone in relation to Iran's ambitions to become a nuclear power.President Obama will this week host a nuclear security summit in Washington, where he will hope to build some momentum for wider disarmament. That is a daunting project that has to involve such unpliable states as India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel and Iran. Given the scale of that task, President Obama is 米大統領とロシアの対応は、一緒にlastAnyone十分に古いの方法も、通常それは、核の対立をworld.Itの最後に結果を心配する感じを思い出して、冷戦を覚えて働いている疑惑を開くに架かるの種類には時間がかかるその期間は、放散する
- Hamish McRae: China is a hungry teenager eating up resources – and we can't stop it
China is now the world's second-largest economy – or rather, if it isn't, wait a few weeks and it will be. Most people are now vaguely aware that something massive is happening, a power shift that will transform the global balance of power for the rest of our lives. It is less dramatic because it is happening more gradually but is just as important as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet empire. 中国は今や世界第2位の経済大国です-というか、それが、数週間待つされていないとされる
- Letters: Israel and protests against the wall
In recent months Palestinians campaigning against the wall in the occupied West Bank have been targeted as part of a vicious crackdown on their freedom of expression and association. Residential areas affected by the wall – for instance, villages such as Ni'lin, Bil'in and Jayyous – have been subjected to raids by Israeli soldiers, who have broken into homes, fired teargas and arbitrarily arrested and detained numerous Palestinians, including children.Prominent human rights defender Jamal Juma', coordinator of the Palestinian Stop the Wall campaign, has been arrested and remains detained without charge. This follows the detention of Abdallah Abu Rahmeh and Mohammad Othman, both leading anti-wall figures.The British government's unwillingness to back the Goldstone report into Operation Cast Lead sent a message to Israel that it need not be held to account for its crimes in Gaza (Israel to pay compensation to UN, 8 January). This has predictably encouraged Israel to act as it wishes, knowing it will be accorded total impunity. On this question at least, the British government should press for the immediate release of these three Palestinian prisoners of conscience.
