Germany Blocks Europe-Wide Protection of Women Against Violence
Blog: Verfassungsblog
Gender-based violence has dramatically increased in the European Union (EU) in recent years. In particular women are widely affected by rape. On 8 March 2022, the Commission presented a Draft Directive for comprehensive, effective and enforceable protection against gender-based violence in all EU Member States. The main point of contention in the negotiations, which could ultimately prevent the adoption of the Draft Directive, is the introduction of the common definition of the criminal offence of rape. The Directive aims to harmonize across Europe the definition of rape as a violation of the consent-based sexual act. Yet, twelve Member States, with Germany and France at the forefront, are not convinced that the EU has a sufficient legal base to regulate that issue. This article highlights the arguments for a common regulation of the criminal offence of rape in the EU under Art. 83 (1) TFEU against the doubts raised by the German Federal Ministry of Justice.

Book Review: Homelands: A Personal History Of Europe
Blog: Australian Institute of International Affairs
Europe made great progress towards a "whole and free" continent during the 35 years until 2007/08, when a cascade of crises occurred, culminating in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Timothy Garten Ash argues that a Ukraine victory would offer the opportunity to renew efforts to create a "whole and free" Europe.

Learning nothing from history: Germany, genocide, and colonialism in the time of Gaza
Blog: ROAPE
Heike Becker writes about what has been going on in Germany since 7 October last year. She contextualises the German government's unconditional support of Israel's conduct in Gaza and astonishing efforts by government and civil society associations to silence critics of Israel's actions. Becker points out the deafening silence in mainstream German politics and society about the thousands of children, women, and men who have been killed.

Can Germany Remain Silent?
Blog: Verfassungsblog
Is Germany legally obligated to condemn violations of international humanitarian law? This argument was recently put forward in an article on Verfassungsblog. Elsewhere it was claimed that Germany, along with other States failing to utilize their full repertoire of diplomatic options (including "[calling] for a permanent ceasefire"), is in breach of its own IHL-responsibilities. Admittedly, international law does have a say when organs of States speak. Nevertheless, the intricacies of this matter go beyond first impression. I submit that such a duty is not as easy to derive in the present case as is suggested by opposing views.

Knowledge Power Europe
Blog: Europe of Knowledge
Mitchell Young While, as the name of this blog reflects, knowledge has become a central concern in European policymaking internally, it has not made the same inroads into the EU's external policy discourses. This neglect of knowledge in the field of international relations is not limited to the EU, but given the European policy context, […]

Comparative Higher Education Politics. Policymaking in North America and Western Europe
Blog: Ideas on Europe
Jens Jungblut Several people have argued in recent years that higher education has become a more important policy sector in most if not all countries around the world (see e.g. Busemeyer, Garritzmann, & Neimanns, 2020; Garritzmann, 2016; Gornitzka & Maassen, 2014). An increasing percentage of the global population pursues or attains a tertiary education degree, […]

Theorising Europe from the Margins: A Reappraisal of W.E.B. Du Bois' Critical Thought
Blog: Ideas on Europe
For the EUROGLOT panel on 'Theorising Europe, Otherwise', I took the opportunity to present my working paper reassessing W.E.B. Du Bois' immanent critique of Europe and empire. This paper forms part of a more comprehensive theoretical research project of mine that aims to reconstruct his ideology-critical and anti-disciplinary sociological work.
