A review essay on books by (1) Simon Bulmer, Charlie Jeffery, & William E. Patterson, Germany's European Diplomacy: Shaping the Regional Milieu (Manchester & New York: Manchester U Press, 2000); (2) Daniele Conversi, German-Bashing and the Breakup of Yugoslavia (Seattle: U Washington, 1998); & (3) Randall E. Newnham, Poland and Germany, 1989-1991: The Role of Economic Factors in Foreign Policy (Seattle: U Washington, 2000). These changes share a common theme: Germany's European policy. Many of Europe's policymakers have maintained an anti-German position, & any unilateral German initiatives are seen as a maneuver to reestablish German dominance. Newnham argues that Poland & Germany's relationship can & should be emulated by other countries. Conversi uses the case of Germany's relationship with Croatia & Slovenia, & the Yugoslavia situation, to explore the still-prevalent existence of Germanophobia. Bulmer, Jeffrey, & Paterson focus on the influence that Germany has on the EU integration process, & on Germany's relationship with the EU generally. Each of the works makes a significant contribution. K. A. Larsen

Analyzes the policy implications of French president Nicolas Sarkozy's call for his country's "return to Europe" immediately following his election on 7 May 2007. The "dialectics" of the "rocky" French-EU relationship at the close of the 20th century are described & Sarkozy's policy priorities are identified. The likely impacts of France's rotation into the EU presidency over the second half of 2008 are evaluated, focusing on its prioritization of energy-environment issues, immigration, defense & security, Mediterranean Union creation, & European "civilization project.'.

This article deals with European immigration control and integration policies as public policies. Control and integration are the two main drivers of immigration policy. From a comparative perspective, the distinction between economic and political migration is made and the occupational and labour situation for northern and southern European countries is presented. Some of the differences between European countries in the interplay of control and integration policies are analysed in relation to transnationalism and the construction of a European identity.

"Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit europäischen Einwanderungskontroll- und Integrationspolitiken als öffentlichen Politiken. Kontrolle und Integration sind die beiden Hauptmotoren der Einwanderungspolitik. Der Unterschied zwischen wirtschaftlicher und politischer Migration und die Beschäftigungs- und Arbeitssituation für nord- und südeuropäische Länder werden unter einem vergleichenden Gesichtspunkt dargestellt. Einige der Unterschiede zwischen europäischen Ländern beim Zusammenspiel von Kontroll- und Integrationspolitiken werden im Hinblick auf Transnationalismus und den Aufbau einer europäischen Identität analysiert."
