Franz Josef Jung war in den Wendejahren als Generalsekretär der hessischen CDU Augenzeuge der friedlichen Revolution und Mitgestalter des Einigungsprozesses. Er schildert den 9. November 1989, den er in Ostberlin erlebte, ebenso wie die bewegenden Begegnungen zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschen, die danach wieder möglich wurden und die den Weg zur Wiedervereinigung vorzeichneten. Der bekannte Politiker berichtet über den Aufbau der hessisch-thüringischen Beziehungen als wichtiges vorbereitendes Element der Wiedervereinigung, und gibt Einblicke in die "Allianz für Deutschland", das Bündnis konservativer Parteien, das die freien Volkskammerwahlen am 18. März 1990 gewann, und dessen Aufbau Jung betrieb. Die Erinnerungen Franz Josef Jungs stützen sich auf Aufzeichnungen und bislang unbekannte Dokumente zur Zeitgeschichte.

The publication of the White Paper 2006 is part of the success record of this Federal Government. We have succeeded in consistently translating the theoretic concept of Networked Security into political action. In Afghanistan we have made progresses on the way to our goal of self-supporting stability despite still existing deficits in the field of the government of the state and the reconstruction and the partly aggravated security situation. The key to success is the co-acting of all actors and instruments. It will neither be possible to meet the challenges, to stabilize the country, and to qualify it for the futuresolely by military action nor exclusively by civilian commitment. Securityand development are reciprocally dependent! The buildup of the Afghan security forces which is emphatically expedited by Germany with its allies and partners is beginning to bear fruit. Meanwhile, we have jointly trained some 60,000 Afghan soldiers; the target set by us is a number of 134,000. About 25,000 Afghan policemen have successfully passed their training; the aimingmark is a total of 82,000. Already today are Afghan security forces responsible for providing security in the capital of Kabul. In the foreseeable future it is planned for the Afghans to gradually assume even more responsibility. (Europäische Sicherheit / SWP)

The challenges that security policy must confront in the twenty-first century are multifaceted. In its 2006 White Paper (Weissbuch) the Federal Government presents Germany's policy on the future of the Bundeswehrin the form of the concept of networked security. On the one hand this policy is based on the idea that today security depends not only on military factors, but also on social, economic, ecological & cultural conditions. On the other, it recognises that security cannot be guaranteed either at a purely national level or by armed forces alone. Adapted from the source document.
