Germany’s military cooperation with European partners is undertaken either within the European Union or outside its structures. The cooperation within the European Union takes place mainly on two levels: inter-governmental and supranational. The cooperation outside the EU is also focused on two levels: bilateral and multilateral. The author’s intention is to identify the direction of the evolution of the German concepts of military cooperation in Europe during the reign of Angela Merkel using a multi-level approach. Concepts co-created or co-implemented by Germany assume that strong and united Europe can counteract external threats by development of its own military component. It is clear, that there is conceptual asymmetry, that is why there are more intergovernmental concepts (military missions, PESCO, strengthened CSDP, EI2) than transnational concepts, from which we distinguish the only one, e.g. the concept of the European army. The influence on the evolution of the German concepts can have an integral federalism, which this country adheres to, and which was implemented after the Second World War into the political and administrative system, i.e. system based on multilevelness and cooperation of authorities, that has proved effective, so it can also be effective in multi-level military cooperation in the EU.

The question of how to deal with the EU’s economic crisis is often reduced to two opposed positions: auster- ity measures vs. public investments, neatly represented by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, respectively. Merkel and Hollande also represent two di erent visions of EU- legitimacy in the broader sense: political integration vs. economic integration. at both the speci c and the general di erences between the two can be reconciled, is exempli ed by the European Council’s decisions to supplement the scal compact with a growth compact and to begin a process of political and economic reform. However, the proposed entwinement of political and economic legitimacy ignores the dimension of social legitimacy or solidarity among strangers, as Jürgen Habermas would put it. is paper explores how issues of identity and solidarity gure in the public debate about the Euro crisis. e main argument is that the politico-economic constitution of the EU as ‘Merkolland’ has, so far, rendered it a rather soulless place.

This volume of the Humboldt Lectures on Europe serves as a unique contemporary testimony of European integration since the euro crisis. The Walter Hallstein Institute for European Constitutional Law at the Humboldt University of Berlin organizes the Humboldt Lectures on Europe in irregular intervals and has managed to establish these lectures as a valuable and respected forum of discussion on European debates. The present lectures offer a contemporary insight into these debates, depicting the perspectives of European heads of state and government as well as those of high-ranking representatives of the executive, judicial and legislative branches of European states and EU institutions. These lectures contribute to an interdisciplinary discourse in academia, the political arena, and beyond. With contributions by et al Angela Merkel, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Herman van Rompuy, Francois Fillon, Jerzy Buzek, Martin Schulz, Andreas Voßkuhle, Mario Monti, Susanne Baer, Ineta Ziemele, Simon Coveney, Paolo Gentiloni and Olaf Scholz

Zusammenfassung. Fragestellung: Über Veränderungen in der emotionalen Befindlichkeit von Jugendlichen während einer Suchttherapie ist wenig bekannt. Methode: Die Jugendlichen füllten wöchentlich einen entsprechenden Fragebogen aus, analog ihre Bezugsbetreuer eine parallelisierte Kurzfassung. Von 42 Jugendlichen liegen insgesamt 853 Bogen und von den Bezugsbetreuern 708 Bogen vor. Die Fragebogen wurden zunächst faktorenanalytisch hinsichtlich ihrer Dimensionalität ausgewertet, anschließend wurden gruppenbezogene Verlaufsanalysen (Multi-Level-Modelle) und Abhängigkeitsanalysen auf Einzelfallebene (Zeitreihenanalysen) durchgeführt. Ergebnisse: Im Jugendlichenfragebogen ergaben sich vier Faktoren: negative Befindlichkeit, Wertschätzung von Therapie/Betreuung, Motivation und Suchtdynamik. Die Übereinstimmung zwischen den Jugendlichen- und der (einfaktoriellen) Betreuereinschätzung fiel insgesamt niedrig bis mäßig aus, brachte aber auf Einzelfallebene differenziertere Ergebnisse. Im Verlauf nahmen die Werte auf allen vier Jugendlichenskalen ab. Einzig der Verlauf der Wertschätzung in der Eingewöhnungsphase war prädiktiv für den späteren Abbruch der Maßnahme: Bei den Abbrechern nahm die Wertschätzung ab, während sie bei den Beendern initial stieg. Schlussfolgerungen: Der bedeutsamste Faktor in Bezug auf die Therapiebeendigung suchtkranker Jugendlicher scheint die Wertschätzung von Therapie/Betreuung zu sein, während die Motivation jugendtypische Schwankungen aufweist. Der Suchtdynamik kam eine deutlich weniger bedeutende Rolle zu als allgemein angenommen. Programme in der Langzeittherapie sollten die Wertschätzung von Therapie/Betreuung künftig mehr fokussieren als die Suchtdynamik.
