This essay examines some tendencies in New Labour's political rhetoric, in particular its reduction of what counts as political & what counts as community. What will be argued is firstly, that the quest for managerial efficiency has functioned to reshape political discourse. This has come about primarily through the attempted removal of political control from economic & public life through the rhetoric of audit & the proliferation of executive agencies & other quangos. Secondly, I will also claim that the language of something called 'the value of community,' despite being the primary moral principle underpinning the whole New Labour agenda, is politically virtually redundant, principally because its sphere has been reduced to the 'voluntary' sector. This redrawing of the boundaries of politics does not augur well for the long-term survival of the British political system: serious questions about the role of the state & the future of democracy emerge from the policies of the past five years & will be discussed briefly in the final section. Adapted from the source document.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg begann Europa zusammenzuwachsen. Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge internationaler Autoren, die aus historischer oder theologischer Sicht die Haltung der Päpste (Pius XII.), der englischen Kirche sowie der österreichischen und ausgewählter deutscher Bischöfe zu den Europäisierungsprozessen anschaulich machen. Die Beiträge beleuchten das Innenleben der Organe, die die Interessen der katholischen Kirche in Brüssel vertreten. Sie schlagen damit Schneisen in ein Forschungsfeld, das noch weitgehend unbearbeitet ist, dessen Relevanz sich aber jüngst in der Diskussion über den Gottesbezug in der Präambel des Europäischen Verfassungsvertrags gezeigt hat.
