"Europa - Bildung - Religion", dieser Zusammenhang erfährt bislang in Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit, aber auch in Politik und Kirche noch nicht die Aufmerksamkeit, die ihm auf Grund seines zunehmenden sachlichen Gewichts zukommt. Schon die Frage, was Europa für die Bildung und was die Bildung für Europa bedeuten soll, steht in der jeweils nationalen Bildungsdiskussion eher am Rande. Wird das Begriffspaar von"Europa und Bildung"dann um den Begriff"Religion"erweitert, fällt der entsprechende Befund noch dürftiger aus. Das Thema wird beleuchtet aus der Perspektive christlichen Glaubens und der Kirchen in Europa, und der (europäischen) Bildungspolitik. Der Band enthaelt Beitraege von James Barnett/Frankreich, Oberkirchenrat Harald Bewersdorff und Landeskirchenrat Dieter Boge, Staatssekretaer a.D. Wolf-Michael Catenhusen, Oberkirchenrat Dr. Juergen Frank, Joachim Happel, Oberkirchenraetin Antje Heider-Rottwilm und Oberkirchenrat Reiner Rinne, Bischof Dr. Wolfgang Huber, Prof. Dr. Eilert Herms, Prof. Dr. Robert Jackson/England, Kardinal Karl Lehmann, Eckhart Marggraf, Dr. Helena Miller/England, Prof. Dr. Flavio Pajer/Italien, Peter Schreiner, Dr. Pille Valk/Estland, Prof. Dr. Jean-Paul Willaime/Frankreich, Prof. Dr. Friedrich Schweitzer, Kultusministerin Karin Wolff.

The Eastern Enlargement of the EU will not be complete until the new member states join the EMU. Economic and political economy arguments point to fast EMU accession of new member states. Failure to do so will create a two speed Europe, a fundamental change in the economic and political architecture of the EU, adding to the strains already evident between core and peripheral countries. Current high level of trade and business cycle integration of new member states with the Eurozone, decreases the probability of asymmetric shocks. Lower transaction costs, elimination of exchange rate risk and the danger of currency crises, further trade and investment creation, lower interest rates and large fiscal gains, should outweigh the loss of the exchange rate as adjustment tool. The Eastern Enlargement of the Eurozone provides comprehensive economic analysis of theoretical, empirical and political issues that will determine whether EMU enlargement is a success, which has implications for all common currency systems.

But agricultural policies and the policy reforms being contemplated are fiendishly complicated, and the devil is in the details.
