The economic & social cohesion of Europe constitutes a main policy goal of the European Union. In this article a broad concept of social cohesion is proposed, which covers two principal dimensions: in addition to disparities in living conditions, which can be called the inequality dimension of social cohesion, social ties between countries are another important aspect, designated in brief as the social capital dimension. For both dimensions empirical analyses of selected indicators are presented. They address the question of whether the social cohesion among EU member states increased during the past 15 years. Furthermore, the prospects for social cohesion within an enlarged EU are dealt with by analyzing potential consequences that the accession of the Czech Republic, Hungary, & Poland implies for social cohesion. The analyses reveal that social cohesion within the European Union did not really become stronger during the past 15 years. The entry of the three candidate countries would probably weaken social cohesion even further, especially owing to the limited public approval of their accession in many Member States. Social cohesion could be strengthened by greater solidarity between the prosperous & the 'backward' countries. The main prerequisites for this - mutual understanding, trustful relations, & a sense of community - may be enhanced by intensifying communication & interaction among countries.

Der 50.Geburtstag der Universal Declaration on Human Rights wirft die Frage auf, warum Regierungen internationale Abkommen zur Wahrung der Menschenrechte abschließen. Eines dieser Abkommen ist die Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention. Menschenrechtsabkommen unterscheiden sich insofern von Abkommen etwa zur Regulierung des Welthandels, zur Umweltpolitik oder zur Sicherheitspolitik, als sie Regierungen zur Verantwortung ziehen für nationale Angelegenheiten. Der Artikel beschreibt die Entstehung, das Abstimmungsverhalten und die Entscheidungsfindung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte (SWP-Drh)
